Izlazak 30

Estude

   

1 Još načini oltar kadioni, od drveta sitima načini ga.

2 Dužina neka mu bude lakat, i širina lakat, četvorouglast da bude, i dva lakta visok; iz njega neka mu izlaze rogovi.

3 I pokuj ga čistim zlatom, ozgo sa strana unaokolo, i rogove njegove; i načini mu venac zlatan unaokolo.

4 I načini mu po dva biočuga zlatna ispod venca na dva ugla njegova s obe strane, i kroz njih ćeš provući poluge da se može nositi.

5 A poluge načini od drveta sitima, i okuj ih u zlato.

6 I metni ga pred zaves koji visi pred kovčegom od svedočanstva prema zaklopcu koji je nad svedočanstvom, gde ću se s tobom sastajati.

7 I neka kadi na njemu Aron kadom mirisnim; svako jutro neka kadi kad spremi žiške.

8 I kad zapali Aron žiške uveče, neka kadi; neka bude kad svagdašnji pred Gospodom od kolena do kolena vašeg.

9 Ne prinosite na njemu kad tuđi niti žrtvu paljenicu niti prinos; ni naliv ne lijte na njemu.

10 Samo očišćenje neka čini nad rogovima njegovim Aron jednom u godini; krvlju od žrtve za greh u dan očišćenja jednom u godini činiće očišćenja na njemu od koljena do koljena vašeg; jer je to svetinja nad svetinjama Gospodu.

11 Još reče Gospod Mojsiju govoreći:

12 Kad staneš brojati sinove Izrailjeve, između onih koji idu u broj svaki neka dade otkup za život svoj Gospodu, kad ih staneš brojati, da ne bi došlo na njih kakvo zlo kad ih staneš brojati.

13 A neka da svaki koji ide u broj pola sikla, po siklu svetom (a taj je sikal dvadeset novčića); pola sikla biće prilog Gospodu.

14 Ko god ide u boj, od dvadeset godina i više, neka da prilog Gospodu.

15 Bogati da ne da više a siromah da ne da manje od po sikla, kad daju prilog Gospodu na očišćenje duša vaših.

16 I uzevši novce za očišćenje od sinova Izrailjevih ostavi ih za potrebu u šatoru od sastanka, i biće sinovima Izrailjevim spomen pred Gospodom za očišćenje duša vaših.

17 Još reče Gospod Mojsiju govoreći:

18 Načini i umivaonicu od bronze i podnožje joj od bronze za umivanje; i metni je između šatora od sastanka i oltara, i nalij u nju vode.

19 Da iz nje pere Aron i sinovi njegovi ruke svoje i noge svoje.

20 Kad idu u šator od sastanka, neka se umivaju vodom, da ne izginu, ili kad pristupaju k oltaru da služe i da pale žrtvu ognjenu Gospodu.

21 Tada neka peru ruke svoje i noge svoje da ne izginu. To neka im bude uredba večna Aronu i semenu njegovom od kolena do kolena.

22 Još reče Gospod Mojsiju govoreći:

23 Uzmi mirisa najboljih: smirne najčistije pet stotina sikala i cimeta mirisavog pola toliko, dvesta pedeset, i iđirota takođe dvesta pedeset,

24 I kasije pet stotina merom svetom, i ulja maslinovog jedan in.

25 I od toga načini ulje za sveto pomazanje, ulje najbolje veštinom apotekarskom; to da bude ulje svetog pomazanja.

26 I njim pomaži šator od sastanka i kovčeg od svedočanstva,

27 I sto i sve sprave njegove, i svećnjak i sprave njegove, i oltar kadioni,

28 I oltar na kome se prinosi žrtva paljenica, i sve sprave njegove, i umivaonicu i podnožje njeno.

29 Tako ćeš ih osvetiti, te će biti svetinja nad svetinjom, i šta ih se god dotakne biće sveto.

30 Pomaži i Arona i sinove njegove, i osvetićeš ih da mi budu sveštenici.

31 A sinovima Izrailjevim kaži i reci: Ovo neka mi bude ulje svetog pomazanja od kolena do kolena vašeg.

32 Telo čovečje neka se ne maže njim, niti pravite takvo ulje kakvo je ono; sveto je, neka vam bude sveto.

33 Ako li bi ko načinio tako ulje ili namazao njim drugog, istrebiće se iz naroda svog.

34 I reče Gospod Mojsiju: Uzmi mirisa, stakte, oniha i halvana mirisavog, i tamjana čistog, koliko jednog toliko drugog.

35 I od toga načini kad, sastavljen veštinom apotekarskom, čist i svet.

36 I istucavši ga nasitno, metaćeš ga pred svedočanstvom u šatoru od sastanka, gde ću se sastajati s tobom; to neka vam bude svetinja nad svetinjama.

37 A takav kad kakav načiniš nemojte sebi praviti; to neka ti je svetinja za Gospoda.

38 Ako li bi ko načinio takav da ga miriše, istrebiće se iz naroda svog.

10278. 'And you shall anoint Aaron and his sons' means consecration to represent the Lord's presence in both kingdoms. This is clear from the meaning of 'anointing' as producing a representation, as above; from the representation of 'Aaron' as the Lord in respect of celestial Divine Good, thus in the celestial kingdom; and from the representation of 'Aaron's sons' as the Lord in respect of spiritual good, thus in the spiritual kingdom, dealt with in 9807, 10017, 10068.

3373. 'And to your seed' means truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'seed' as truth, dealt with in 29, 255, 1025, 1447, 1610, 1940, 2848, 3310, and so truth from the Lord's Divine, which is 'your seed'. Those who understand the Word solely according to the sense of the letter can know no more than this, that 'seed' means descendants - here Isaac's descendants through Esau and Jacob, primarily through Jacob since the Word existed among that nation and so many of its historical descriptions have to do with them. But in the internal sense 'seed' is not used to mean any descendants from Isaac but all who are the Lord's 'sons', and so who are 'the sons of His kingdom', or what amounts to the same, those in whom good and truth which come from the Lord are present. And as these constitute 'the seed' it follows that good and truth themselves from the Lord are 'the seed', for these are what make people His 'sons'. This is also the reason why truths themselves which come from the Lord are called 'the sons of the kingdom' in Matthew,

He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man, the field is the world, the seed are the sons of the kingdom. Matthew 13:37-38.

And for this reason also 'sons' generally means truths, 489, 491, 533, 1147, 2623.

[2] Anyone who thinks rather more deeply or inwardly may recognize that the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, mentioned so many times, and spoken of so many times as those who were to be blessed, and more so than all nations and peoples in all the world, cannot in the Divine Word mean the descendants of those three. For among all nations they least of all were moved by the good that flows from love to the Lord and from charity towards the neighbour. Nor indeed did any truth of faith exist with them. Who the Lord is, what His kingdom is, and so what heaven is and what the life after death, they did not know at all. They did not know these things because for one thing they did not wish to know and for another because if they had come to know about them they would have denied them completely in their hearts and so would have profaned interior goods and truths, as they did exterior by becoming on so many occasions open idolaters. This is the reason why any interior truths are rarely visible in the literal sense of the Old Testament Word. Because the nature of those people was such, the Lord therefore said about them, quoting Isaiah,

He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, lest they see with their eyes and understand with their heart, and are converted and I heal them. John 12:40.

What He said about them when they declared they were 'the seed of Abraham',

They said, We are the seed of Abraham. Our father is Abraham. Jesus said to them, If you were Abraham's sons, you would do the works of Abraham. You are from your father the devil, and the desires of your father you will to do. John 8:33, 39, 44.

Here also 'Abraham' is used to mean the Lord, as in every other instance in the Word. The Lord explicitly states that they were not His seed or sons but came from the devil. From this it is quite evident that 'the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob' in both the historical part and the prophetical part of the Word is in no way used to mean such descendants, for the Word is Divine in every detail Instead it means all who constitute 'the Lord's seed', that is, those with whom the good and truth of faith in Him are present. The fact that heavenly seed, that is, all good and truth, comes from the Lord alone, see 1438, 1614, 2016, 2803, 2882, 2883, 2891, 2892, 2904, 3195.
