1 Te olette Herran teidän Jumalanne lapset: älkäät piirustelko itsiänne, ja älkäät keritkö itsiänne paljaaksi otsaltanne, jonkun kuolleen tähden.

2 Sillä sinä olet pyhä kansa Herralle sinun Jumalalles, ja Herra on sinun valinnut erinomaiseksi kansaksi, kaikista kansoista, jotka maan päällä ovat.

3 Ei sinun pidä mitäkään kauhistavaista syömän.

4 Mutta nämät ovat ne eläimet, joita saatte syödä: härkä, lammas, ja vuohi,

5 Peura, metsävuohi, ruskia peura, akko, dison, teo, mäkikauris.

6 Ja kaikkinainen eläin, jolla on kaksihaarainen sorkka, hajoitettu kahtia, ja märehtii, niitä te saatte syödä.

7 Ette kuitenkaan saa näitä syödä niistä, jotka märehtivät, ja halaistun sorkkansa jakavat, kuin on: kameli, jänis, kanini; sillä he märehtivät, mutta ei ole kuitenkaan kokonansa kaksisorkkaiset: ne pitää oleman teille saastaiset.

8 Sika, vaikka hänellä on kaksihaaraiset sorkat, ei hän kuitenkaan märehdi, se pitää teille oleman saastainen: hänen lihaansa ei teidän pidä syömän, eikä sen raatoon sattuman.

9 Nämät ovat ne, joita te saatte syödä kaikista niistä jotka vedessä ovat: kaikkinainen, jolla uimus ja suomus on, sitä te saatte syödä.

10 Mutta se, jolla ei ole uimuksia eikä suomuksia, sitä ei teidän pidä syömän: se on teille saastainen.

11 Kaikkia puhtaita lintuja syökäät:

12 Nämät heistä ovat ne, joita ei teidän syömän pidä: kotka, luukotka ja kalakotka,

13 Varis, harakka ja kokkolintu lainensa,

14 Ja kaikki kaarneet lainensa,

15 Strutsi, pääskyinen, louve ja haukka lainensa,

16 Huhkaja, hyypiö, ja yökkö,

17 Ruovon päristäjä, storkki, merimetsäs,

18 Haikara, mäkihaukka lainensa, puputtaja ja nahkasiipi.

19 Ja kaikki, jotka matelevat ja lentävät, pitää oleman teille saastaiset: ei pidä niitä syötämän.

20 Kaikkia puhtaita lintuja saatte te syödä.

21 Ei teidän pidä syömän yhtään raatoa: muukalaiselle, joka sinun porteissas on, anna sa syödä, eli myy muukalaiselle: sillä sinä olet pyhä kansa Herralle sinun Jumalalles. Ei sinun pidä keittämän vohlaa emänsä rieskassa.

22 Sinun pitää vilpittömästi eroittaman kymmenykset kaikesta sinun jyvätulostas, joka pellostas tulee, vuosi vuodelta.

23 Ja sinun pitää syömän Herran sinun Jumalas edessä, siinä paikassa, jonka hän valitsee, että hänen nimensä siinä asuis, sinun jyväis, viinas ja öljys kymmenykset, esikoiset karjastas ja lampaistas, että sinä oppisit pelkäämään Herraa sinun Jumalaas kaikkena elinaikanas.

24 Mutta jos tie on sinulle ylen pitkä, niin ettet sinä taida sitä viedä sinne, että se paikka on kaukana sinusta, jonka Herra sinun Jumalas on valinnut, että hänen nimensä siellä asuis; koska Herra sinun Jumalas on siunannut sinun,

25 Niin myy se rahaan, ja ota raha kätees, ja mene siihen paikkaan, jonka Herra sinun Jumalas on valinnut.

26 Ja osta sillä rahalla kaikkia, mitä sinun sielus himoitsee, joko se on nauta eli lammas, viina, väkevä juoma, taikka mitä ikänä sinun sielus himoitsee, ja syö se Herran sinun Jumalas edessä, ja ole iloinen, sinä ja sinun huonees.

27 Ja Leviläistä , joka sinun porteissas on, ei sinun pidä hylkäämän, sillä ei hänellä ole osaa eli perimystä sinun kanssas.

28 Joka kolmannen vuoden lopulla pitää sinun eroittaman kaikki kymmenykset sinun vuotes tulosta sinä vuonna, ja viemän sinun portteihis.

29 Niin pitää Leviläisen tuleman, jolla ei yhtään osaa eli perimystä ole sinun kanssas, ja muukalainen, ja orpo, ja leski, jotka sinun porteissas ovat, ja heidän pitää syömän ja ravittaman, että Herra sinun Jumalas sinua siunais kaikissa sinun kättes töissä, jotka sinä teet.

3702. 'And behold, Jehovah was standing above it' means the Lord at the highest point. This becomes clear from the fact that the Lord is called Jehovah so many times in the Old Testament Word, see 1736, 3023, 3035, and that in the New Testament Word He is not referred to anywhere as Jehovah but as the Lord instead, 2921. As regards the meaning of 'standing above it' as being at the highest point, this is clear without explanation. The arcanum concealed in the internal sense of these words is that every good and truth come down from the Lord and go up to Him, that is, He is the First and the Last. For the human being has been so created that Divine things that are the Lord's may come down through him even to the lowest things of the natural order, and from the lowest things of the natural order may go up to Him. Thus the human being was created to be the means through which the Divine was linked to the natural world, and the natural world was linked to the Divine, and in this way through the human being as the means linking the two together, the lowest degree of the natural order might receive life from the Divine - which would be a reality if mankind had lived in accordance with Divine order.

[2] The creation of the human being in this particular form is evident from the fact that his body is a world in miniature, because every arcanum that is part of the natural world is also stowed in the body. Each arcanum present in the ever-changing sky is also stowed in the eye; and each one in the air is also stowed in the ear. Anything floating unseen and active in the air is stowed - where it is detected - in the organ of smell, anything unseen that is present in water or any other fluid is stowed in the organ of taste. And actual changes of state likewise occur in the sense of touch throughout the body. Besides these even further arcana are stored away in the body which could be detected by a person within his interior organs if his life accorded with order. From this it is evident that a descent of the Divine through the human being into the lowest degree of the natural order would take place, and from the lowest degree of the natural order an ascent to the Divine, if only the human being with heartfelt faith, that is, with love, acknowledged the Lord as his Final and Primary end.

[3] A state such as this existed with the most ancient people, who were celestial, for whatever they discerned with any of their senses was to them a means to thought about things which are the Lord's, and so about the Lord and His kingdom. This was the source of the delight they gained from worldly and earthly things, see 1409, 2896, 2897, 2995. Furthermore whenever these people contemplated in this fashion the lower and the lowest things of the natural order, such things appeared to them to have life in them; for the life from which these came down existed in those people's internal sight and perception. The objects which they saw with their eyes were so to speak images of that life, and although those images were inanimate they were nevertheless animate to those people. This is the kind of perception that celestial angels have of every thing in the world, as I have often been allowed to perceive, and it is also the source of the kind of perception which young children have, see 2297, 2298. This shows what those people are like through whom Divine things that are the Lord's come right down to the lowest things of the natural order, and from the lowest things of the natural order rise up to Him - people that represent Divine communication and the consequent joining together, meant in the highest sense by 'the angels going up and coming down the stairway set up on the earth, and its top reaching to heaven, with Jehovah standing above it'.

3481. I have quite often been in conversation with Jews in the next life. They appear in a forward position on the lower earth below the level of the left foot, and on one occasion I also spoke about the Word, the land of Canaan, and the Lord. I said that the Word contained very deep arcana which are not visible to men. This point they agreed with. After that I said that all the arcana there deal with the Messiah and His kingdom. This also they assented to. But when I told them that Messiah in Hebrew is the same as Christ in Greek they would not listen. And again when I said that the Messiah was the Most Holy One, that Jehovah was within Him, that none other was meant by the Holy One of Israel and by the God of Jacob, and that seeing that He is the Most Holy One none can be in His kingdom except those who are holy not outwardly but inwardly - who are not accordingly under the influence of the filthy love of the world, or of a superior attitude towards other nations, or of hatred for one another - they could not listen to it.

[2] After that I said that the Messiah's kingdom according to prophecy was going to last for ever, and those with Him would also inherit the land for ever. If His kingdom were of this world and they were brought into the land of Canaan it would last only for the few years that constitute the human life-span. Besides, all who had died since the expulsion of the Jews from the land of Canaan would not enjoy such blessedness. From this, I said, they could recognize that the land of Canaan represented and meant the heavenly kingdom; indeed they would recognize it all the more easily, in that they now knew they were in the next life and were going to live for ever, from which it was evident that this next life was the place where the Messiah had His kingdom. And, I continued, if they were allowed to talk to angels they could know that the whole angelic heaven was the Lord's kingdom.

[3] I added that by the new earth, the new Jerusalem, and the new temple described in Ezekiel nothing else could be meant than such a kingdom of the Messiah. To all these points they were unable to make any response apart from weeping bitterly at the prospect of being led into the land of Canaan by the Messiah only to die after so few years and leave behind the blessedness they were to enjoy there.
