1 И сказал Господь Моисею, говоря:

2 возьми Аарона и сынов его с ним, и одежды и елей помазания, и тельца для жертвы за грех и двух овнов, и корзину опресноков,

3 и собери все общество ко входу скинии собрания.

4 Моисей сделал так, как повелел ему Господь, и собралось общество ко входу скинии собрания.

5 И сказал Моисей к обществу: вот что повелел Господь сделать.

6 И привел Моисей Аарона и сынов его и омыл их водою;

7 и возложил на него хитон, и опоясал его поясом, и надел на него верхнюю ризу, и возложил на него ефод, и опоясал его поясом ефода и прикрепил им ефод на нем,

8 и возложил на него наперсник, и на наперсник положил урим и туммим,

9 и возложил на голову его кидар, а на кидар с передней стороны его возложил полированную дощечку, диадиму святыни, как повелел Господь Моисею.

10 И взял Моисей елей помазания, и помазал скинию и все, что в ней,и освятил это;

11 и покропил им на жертвенник семь раз, и помазал жертвенник и всепринадлежности его и умывальницу и подножие ее, чтобы освятить их;

12 и возлил елей помазания на голову Аарона и помазал его, чтоб освятить его.

13 И привел Моисей сынов Аароновых, и одел их в хитоны, и опоясал их поясом, и возложил на них кидары, как повелел Господь Моисею.

14 И привел тельца для жертвы за грех, и Аарон и сыны его возложили руки свои на голову тельца за грех;

15 и заколол его и взял крови, и перстом своим возложил на роги жертвенника со всех сторон, и очистил жертвенник, а остальную кровь вылил к подножию жертвенника, и освятил его, чтобы сделать его чистым.

16 И взял весь тук, который на внутренностях, и сальник на печени, и обе почки и тук их, и сжег Моисей на жертвеннике;

17 а тельца и кожу его, и мясо его, и нечистоту его сжег на огне вне стана, как повелел Господь Моисею.

18 И привел овна для всесожжения, и возложили Аарон и сыны его руки свои на голову овна;

19 и заколол его Моисей и покропил кровью на жертвенник со всех сторон;

20 и рассек овна на части, и сжег Моисей голову и части и тук,

21 а внутренности и ноги вымыл водою, и сжег Моисей всего овна на жертвеннике: это всесожжение в приятное благоухание, это жертва Господу, как повелел Господь Моисею.

22 И привел другого овна, овна посвящения, и возложили Аарон и сыны его руки свои на голову овна;

23 и заколол его Моисей, и взял крови его, и возложил на край правого уха Ааронова и на большой палец правой руки егои на большой палец правой ноги его.

24 И привел Моисей сынов Аароновых, и возложил крови на край правого уха их и на большой палец правой руки их и на большой палец правой ноги их, и покропил Моисей кровью на жертвенник со всех сторон.

25 И взял тук и курдюк и весь тук, который на внутренностях, и сальник на печени, и обе почки и тук их и правое плечо;

26 и из корзины с опресноками, которая пред Господом, взял одинопреснок и один хлеб с елеем и одну лепешку, и возложил на тук и направое плечо;

27 и положил все это на руки Аарону и на руки сынам его, и принес это,потрясая пред лицем Господним;

28 и взял это Моисей с рук их и сжег на жертвеннике со всесожжением: это жертва посвящения в приятное благоухание, это жертва Господу.

29 И взял Моисей грудь и принес ее, потрясая предлицем Господним: это была доля Моисеева от овна посвящения, как повелелГосподь Моисею.

30 И взял Моисей елея помазания и крови, которая на жертвеннике, и покропил Аарона и одежды его, и сынов его и одежды сынов его с ним; и так освятил Аарона и одежды его, и сынов его и одежды сынов его с ним.

31 И сказал Моисей Аарону и сынам его: сварите мясо у входа скинии собрания и там ешьте его с хлебом, который в корзине посвящения, как мне повелено и сказано: Аарон и сыны его должны есть его;

32 а остатки мяса и хлеба сожгите на огне.

33 Семь дней не отходите от дверей скинии собрания, пока не исполнятся дни посвящения вашего, ибо Семь дней должно совершаться посвящение ваше;

34 как сегодня было сделано, так повелел Господь делать для очищения вас;

35 у входа скинии собрания будьте день и ночь в продолжение семи дней и будьте на страже у Господа, чтобы не умереть, ибо так мне повелено от Господа Бога .

36 И исполнил Аарон и сыны его все, что повелел Господь чрез Моисея.

2187. 'And they ate' means communication in this manner. This becomes clear from the meaning of 'eating' as being communicated, and also being joined together, as is also evident from the Word. The injunction that Aaron, and his sons the Levites, and also the people were to eat the consecrated elements of the sacrifices in a holy place meant nothing other than the communication, conjunction, and making one's own, as stated above in 2177, at the point where Leviticus 6:16-17, is referred to. For it was celestial and spiritual food that was meant by the consecrated elements, and thus making that food their own by eating those elements. These consecrated elements were those parts of the sacrifices which were not burned on the altar but were eaten either by the priests or by the people who brought the offering, as becomes clear from very many places where the sacrifices are the subject. The consecrated elements that were to be eaten by the priests are referred to in Exodus 29:32-33; Leviticus 6:16, 26; 7:6, 15-16, 18; 8:31; 10:12-13; Numbers 18:9-11; and those to be eaten by the people, in Leviticus 19:5-6; Deuteronomy 12:27; 27:7; and elsewhere. And that those who were unclean were not to eat of them is referred to in Leviticus 7:19-21; 22:4-7. These ritual feasts took place in a holy place near the altar, either at the gate or in the court outside the tent. And they meant nothing else than the communication, conjunction, and making of celestial goods one's own, for those feasts represented celestial food. For what celestial food is, see 56-58, 680, 681, 1480, 1695. And all those consecrated elements were called 'bread', for the meaning of which see above in 2165. Something similar was represented by Aaron and his sons eating the loaves of the presence, or the shewbread, in a holy place, Leviticus 24:9.

[2] The reason for the law given to the Nazirite that during the days of his Naziriteship he was forbidden to eat anything that is produced from the grape - from which wine is made - from pips even to skin, Numbers 6:4, is that the Nazirite represented the celestial man, and the celestial man is such as is not willing even to mention spiritual things, see Volume One, in 202, 337, 880 (end), 1647. And because 'wine' and 'the grape', and also whatever came from the grape, meant that which is spiritual, the Nazirite was therefore forbidden to eat of them, that is, to have any communication with spiritual things, to join himself to them, or to make them his own.

[3] Something similar is meant by 'eating' in Isaiah,

Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters, and he who has no money, come, buy, and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Why do you spend money on that which is not bread, and your labour on that which does not satisfy? Hearken diligently to Me and eat what is good, and your soul will delight itself in fatness. Isaiah 55:1-2.

And also what is said in John,

To him who conquers I will grant to eat from the tree of life which is in the middle of the Paradise of God. Revelation 2:7.

'The tree of life' is the celestial itself, and in the highest sense it is the Lord Himself since He is the source of everything celestial, that is, of all love and charity. Thus 'eating from the tree of life' is the same as feeding on the Lord; and 'feeding on the Lord' is being endowed with love and charity, thus with those things that belong to heavenly life, as the Lord Himself declares in John,

I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if anyone eats of this bread he will live for ever. He who feeds on Me will live through Me. John 6:51, 57. But they said, This is a hard saying. Jesus said however, The words that I speak to you, they are spirit and they are life. John 6:60, 63.

From this it is evident what is meant by 'eating' in the Holy Supper, Matthew 26:26-28; Mark 14:22-23; Luke 22:19-20 - having communication, being joined together, and making one's own.

[4] From this it is also plain what is meant by the Lord's statement that

Many will come from the east and from the west and will recline with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Matthew 8:11.

The Lord did not mean that they were going to feast with these three in the kingdom of God but that they were to enjoy the celestial goods meant by Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. That is to say, they were to enjoy the inmost celestial goods of love, meant by -Abraham'; also a lower type of goods, which are intermediate, as those are which belong to the rational, meant by 'Isaac'; and a still lower type of goods which are celestial-natural, such as occur in the first heaven, meant by 'Jacob'. These are the things which constitute the internal sense of these words. That such things are meant by Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, see 1893, and wherever else they are the subject. For whether one speaks of enjoying those celestial things, or whether one speaks of enjoying the Lord, whom they represent, it amounts to the same since the Lord is the source of all those things, and the Lord is their All in all.

880. That 'he waited yet another seven days' means the beginning of the second state of regeneration becomes clear from the fact that the interval between the first state, dealt with in verses 8-9, just above, and this second state, dealt with here in verses 10-11, is being described. So that things may be linked together as though they were historical events, that interval is expressed by the phrase 'he waited'. The nature of the second state of regeneration becomes clear to some extent from what has been stated and shown concerning the first, which was a state in which truths of faith had not as yet been able to take root on account of the falsities that obstructed. Truths of faith first strike root when a person starts to acknowledge and believe. Till then they have not struck root. What a person hears from the Word and retains in the memory is no more than a sowing of the seed; in no way does rooting start until that person receives and welcomes good that stems from charity. Every truth of faith has its roots in the good of faith, that is, in good that stems from charity. It is just like seed that is cast on the land. While it is still winter-time, that is, when the land is frozen hard, there it indeed lies but does not take root. But as soon as the warmth of the sun which arrives in early spring warms up the land, the seed starts to grow roots for the first time and then to strike down into the soil. The same applies to spiritual seed that is sown. This never strikes root until good that stems from charity warms it up so to speak. Only then does it grow a root on itself which it then pushes forth.

[2] With man there are three things which go together and combine - the natural, the spiritual, and the celestial. His natural never acquires any life except from the spiritual; the spiritual never acquires any except from the celestial; and the celestial does so from the Lord alone, who is Life itself. To obtain a clearer picture of this idea, let it be said that the natural is the receptacle that receives, or the vessel into which the spiritual is poured; and the spiritual is the receptacle that receives, or the vessel into which the celestial is poured. Thus it is through celestial things that life from the Lord flows. That is how influx works. The celestial is essentially all the good of faith; with a spiritual man it exists as the good of charity. The spiritual is truth, which in no way becomes the truth of faith unless it has within it the good of faith, that is, good that stems from charity, in which good there is life itself from the Lord. To make the matter more intelligible still: it is man's natural that puts a work of charity into effect, whether by hand or by mouth, and so through the organs of the body. Yet in itself the work is dead and has no life except from what is spiritual within it. Nor does what is spiritual have life except from what is celestial, which has it from the Lord. This is what enables it to be called a good work, for nothing is good if it does not derive from the Lord.

[3] This being so it may become clear to anyone that with every work of charity, the work regarded in itself is a purely physical action, which is made living however by the truth of faith lying within the work. And what is more, the truth of faith is something lifeless, which is however made alive from the good of faith. And the good of faith has no life except from the Lord alone, who is Good itself and Life itself. This explains why celestial angels will not hear of faith, even less of works, see 202, for they trace both faith and works back to love. They attribute faith to love, and they attribute the works produced by faith to love. For them therefore both the works and faith leave their sight, and only love and good deriving from it remain. And within their love is the Lord. Because those angels have ideas so celestial they are differentiated from the angels who are called spiritual. Their very thinking and consequent speaking are more inconceivable by far than the thought and speech of spiritual angels.
