Leviticus 8

Studie

   

1 Viešpats kalbėjo Mozei:

2 “Imk Aaroną ir jo sūnus, jų apdarus, patepimo aliejaus, veršį aukai už nuodėmę, du avinus ir pintinę neraugintos duonos

3 ir sušauk izraelitų susirinkimą prie Susitikimo palapinės įėjimo”.

4 Mozė padarė, kaip Viešpats liepė. Sušaukęs izraelitus prie palapinės įėjimo,

5 kalbėjo jiems: “Štai ką Viešpats įsakė padaryti”.

6 Mozė, pašaukęs Aaroną bei jo sūnus, apiplovė juos vandeniu,

7 apvilko Aaroną drobine jupa, apjuosė juosta, aprengė mėlyna tunika, uždėjo efodą ir sujuosė jį efodo juosta, kad efodas laikytųsi ant jo,

8 uždėjo ant efodo krūtinės skydelį, į kurį įdėjo Urimą ir Tumimą.

9 Galvą pridengė mitra ir ant jos, ties kakta, pritaisė auksinę plokštelę, šventą vainiką, kaip Viešpats įsakė Mozei.

10 Po to Mozė ėmė patepimo aliejaus, juo patepė palapinę ir visus jos daiktus.

11 Apšlakstė aukurą aliejumi septynis kartus ir patepė visus jo reikmenis; be to, pašventino ir patepė aliejumi praustuvę ir jos stovą.

12 Ir užpylė Aaronui ant galvos patepimo aliejaus, kad pateptų ir pašventintų jį.

13 Atvedęs jo sūnus, apvilko drobinėmis jupomis, sujuosė juostomis ir uždėjo gobtuvus, kaip Viešpats įsakė Mozei.

14 Tada atvedė veršį aukai už nuodėmę. Aaronas ir jo sūnūs uždėjo aukai ant galvos rankas.

15 Mozė papjovė jį, paėmęs jo kraujo, pamirkė pirštą ir patepė aukuro ragus; apvalęs ir pašventinęs aukurą, išpylė likusį kraują jo papėdėje;

16 vidurių taukus, kepenų tinklelį ir abu inkstus su jų taukais sudegino ant aukuro,

17 o veršio odą, mėsą ir mėšlus sudegino už stovyklos, kaip Viešpats įsakė Mozei.

18 Mozė atvedė aviną deginamajai aukai. Aaronas ir jo sūnūs uždėjo jam ant galvos rankas.

19 Mozė jį papjovė ir, jo krauju apšlakstęs aukurą,

20 sukapojo aviną į gabalus; jo galvą, gabalus, taukus,

21 nuplautus vidurius ir kojas sudegino. Taip visas avinas buvo sudegintas, nes tai buvo deginamoji malonaus kvapo auka Viešpačiui, kaip Viešpats įsakė Mozei.

22 Paskui aukojo antrą aviną, įšventinimo aviną. Aaronas ir jo sūnūs uždėjo ant jo galvos rankas,

23 o Mozė jį papjovė. Jis jo krauju patepė dešinę Aarono ausį, dešinės rankos ir dešinės kojos nykštį.

24 Tada jis liepė prieiti ir Aarono sūnums. Patepęs papjautojo avino krauju kiekvieno jų dešinę ausį, dešinės rankos ir kojos nykščius, likusį kraują šlakstė aplink aukurą.

25 Taukus, uodegą, abu inkstus su taukais ir vidurių taukus, kepenų tinklelį ir dešinį petį atskyrė.

26 Iš neraugintos duonos pintinės, pastatytos Viešpaties akivaizdoje, ėmė neraugintos duonos, aliejumi apšlakstytą paplotį bei ragaišį, padėjo ant taukų ir avino dešiniojo peties

27 ir viską padavė Aaronui ir jo sūnums; jie visa tai, pasiūbavę Viešpaties akivaizdoje,

28 grąžino Mozei, kuris tai sudegino ant deginamųjų aukų aukuro. Tai buvo įšventinimo auka, kad būtų malonus aukos kvapas Viešpačiui.

29 Mozė, pasiūbavęs įšventinimo avino krūtinę Viešpaties akivaizdoje, pasiėmė ją kaip jam Viešpaties skirtą aukos dalį.

30 Mozė, paėmęs patepimo aliejaus ir buvusio ant aukuro kraujo, šlakstė Aarono ir jo sūnų apdarus, taip pašventindamas Aaroną, jo drabužius, jo sūnus ir sūnų drabužius.

31 Ir Mozė tarė Aaronui ir jo sūnums: “Virkite mėsą prie Susitikimo palapinės įėjimo ir valgykite ją su duona, kuri yra įšventinimo pintinėje, kaip Viešpats man įsakė.

32 Tai, kas liks nesuvalgyta,­sudeginkite.

33 Nuo palapinės įėjimo nesitraukite septynias dienas, kol pasibaigs jūsų pašventinimo laikas, nes jūs turite būti šventinami septynias dienas.

34 Tai, kas buvo padaryta šiandien, Viešpats įsakė atlikti jūsų sutaikinimui.

35 Todėl septynias dienas ir septynias naktis pasilikite prie palapinės įėjimo atlikti Viešpaties sargybą, kad nemirtumėte, nes taip man įsakė Viešpats”.

36 Aaronas ir jo sūnūs darė visa, ką Viešpats įsakė Mozei.

Apocalypse Explained #205

205. He that hath the key of David, signifies who has power by means of Divine truth. This is evident from the signification of "key," as being the power of opening and shutting, here heaven and hell, for it follows, "He that openeth and no one shutteth, and shutteth and no one openeth;" therefore "key" means here the power of saving (as above, n. 86), since to open heaven and to shut hell is to save. It is evident also from the representation of "David," as being the Lord in respect to Divine truth. By "David" in the Word the Lord is meant, because by "kings" in the Word the Lord in respect to Divine truth is represented, and by "priests" there the Lord in respect to Divine good. The Lord is represented especially by king David, because David had much care of the matters of the church, and also wrote the Psalms. (That "kings" in the Word signify Divine truth, and "priests" Divine good, see above, n. 31; moreover, that all names of persons and places in the Word signify spiritual things, which are the things pertaining to the church and to heaven, see above, n. 19, 50, 102.)

It is said, "He that hath the key of David," because David (as was just said) represented the Lord in respect to Divine truth, and the Lord has all power in the heavens and on earth from Divine good through Divine truth; for in general good without truth has no power, neither has truth without good any power, for good acts through truth. From this it is that Divine good and Divine truth proceed united from the Lord, and so far as they are conjointly received by the angels, so far the angels are powers. This then, is why it is said "the key of David." (That all power is in truths from good, see in the work on Heaven and Hell 228-233, where the Power of the Angels of Heaven is treated of; also n. 539.)

[2] That by "David" in the Word the Lord is meant is clearly evident from certain passages where he is mentioned in the prophets. As in Ezekiel:

They shall be to Me for a people, and I will be to them for a God, and My servant David king over them, that they may all have one shepherd. They shall dwell upon the land, they and their sons and their son's sons even to eternity; and David My servant shall be prince to them to eternity (Ezekiel 37:23-25).

In Hosea:

The sons of Israel shall return, and shall seek Jehovah their God, and David their king; and with fear shall they come to Jehovah and to His goodness in the extremity of days (Hosea 3:5).

It is said "They shall seek Jehovah their God, and David their king," because "Jehovah" in the Word means the Lord in respect to Divine good, which is the Divine Esse, and "David a king" means the Lord in respect to Divine truth, which is the Divine Existere. (That "Jehovah" in the Word means the Lord in respect to Divine good, see Arcana Coelestia 732, 2586, 2807, 2822, 3921, 4253, 4402, 7010, 9167, 9315)

[3] In Zechariah:

Jehovah shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David, and the glory of the inhabitant of Jerusalem, may not exalt itself above Judah. In that day shall Jehovah defend the inhabitant of Jerusalem, and the house of David shall be as God, and as the angel of Jehovah before them. And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitant of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace. In that day there shall be a fountain open to the house of David, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem (Zechariah 12:7-8, 10; 13:1).

Here the Lord's coming is treated of, and the salvation at that time of those who are of His spiritual kingdom. "Tents of Judah" mean the celestial kingdom; and the "house of David and the inhabitant of Jerusalem," the spiritual kingdom. The spiritual kingdom is constituted of those in heaven and on earth who are in Divine truth, and the celestial kingdom of those who are in Divine good (See just above, n. 204. From this it can be seen what these words mean, namely, that these two kingdoms shall act as one, and that one shall not exalt itself above the other. (Of these two kingdoms, see in the work on Heaven and Hell 20-28). That "Judah" signifies the Lord in respect to celestial love and the Lord's celestial kingdom may be seen above (n. 119). And that "Jerusalem" signifies the Lord's spiritual kingdom, see in the Arcana Coelestia 402, 3654, 9166. The same is therefore signified by "the house of David;" consequently it is here said, "the house of David shall be as God, and as the angel of Jehovah;" "God" also means the Lord in respect to Divine truth (See Arcana Coelestia 2586, 2769, 2807, 2822, 3921, 4287, 4402, 7010, 9167); and the like is meant by the "angel of Jehovah" (See above, n. 130, 200).

[4] "David" and his "house" have a like signification also in the following passages. In Isaiah:

Incline your ear, and come unto Me; hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David. Behold I have given Him as a witness to the peoples, a prince and a lawgiver to the nations 1 (Isaiah 55:3-4).

These things are said of the Lord, who is here "David." In David:

In the heavens Thou shalt establish Thy truth; I have made a covenant with My chosen; I have sworn to David My servant, even to eternity will I establish thy seed, and will build up thy throne to generation and generation; and the heavens shall confess Thy wonder, O Jehovah; Thy truth also in the congregation of the saints (Psalms 89:2-5).

These things also were said of the Lord, and not of David; for it is said, "I have sworn to David My servant, even to eternity will I establish thy seed, and will build up thy throne to generation and generation;" this is not applicable to David, whose seed and throne were not established to eternity, and yet Jehovah swore, and an oath from Jehovah is irrevocable confirmation from the Divine (See Arcana Coelestia 2842[1-10]). The "seed of David" in the spiritual sense, means those who are in the truths from good from the Lord, and in an abstract sense, truths themselves that are from good (See Arcana Coelestia, n (Arcana Coelestia 3373, 3380, 10249, 10445); and "throne" means the Lord's spiritual kingdom (See Arcana Coelestia 5313, 5922, 6397, 8625). David is called "My servant" (as also above in Ezekiel 37:23-25), because "servant" in the Word is used of every person and every thing that serves and ministers (See Arcana Coelestia 3441, 7143, 8241), and Divine truth proceeding serves and ministers to Divine good from which it proceeds. That it is the Lord in respect to Divine truth, or Divine truth proceeding from the Lord that is meant by "David," is evident, for it is said, "In the heavens Thou shalt establish Thy truth, and the heavens shall confess Thy truth in the congregation of the saints." That those also are called "saints" who are in Divine truths, see just above n. 204.

[5] In the same:

I will not profane My covenant, and what is pronounced by My lips will I not change. Once have I sworn by My holiness; I will not lie unto David. His seed shall be to eternity, and his throne as the sun before Me. It shall be established as the moon to eternity, a faithful witness in the clouds (Psalms 89:34-37).

That these things are said of the Lord is evident in the whole Psalm, for it treats of His coming, and afterwards of the repudiation of Him by the Jewish nation. That the Lord is here treated of, and that He is here meant by "David" is plain from these words in the same Psalm:

I have found David, My servant; with the oil of My holiness have I anointed him. I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers. He shall call Me, Thou art my Father, my God, and the rock of my salvation. I also will make him the firstborn, high above the kings of the earth. I will set his throne as the days of the heavens (Psalms 89:20, 25-27, 29).

The Lord is meant also by "David," by "the anointed," and by "king," in other passages in the Psalms, as can be clearly seen by those who understand the Word spiritually, but obscurely by those who understand it only naturally. As in these words in David:

Thy priests shall be clothed with righteousness, and Thy saints shall shout for joy for Thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of Thine anointed. There will I make the horn of David to bud: I will set in order a lamp for Mine anointed; upon himself shall his crown flourish (Psalms 132:9-10, 17-18);

here also the Lord is meant by "David" and by "the anointed;" for the Lord is treated of in this Psalm, as is clear from what goes before, where it is said:

He swore unto Jehovah, I will not give sleep to mine eyes until I find out a place for Jehovah, habitations for the mighty One of Jacob. Lo, we have heard of it at Ephrathah [Bethlehem]. We will come into His habitations, we will worship at His footstool (Psalms 132:2, 4-7).

[6] That David might represent the Lord in respect to Divine truth, the Lord was willing to be born of the house of David, and also to be called "the Son of David," "his Root and Offspring," also "the Root of Jesse." But when the Lord put off the human from the mother, and put on the Human from the Father, which is the Divine Human, He was no longer David's son. This is meant by the Lord's words to the Pharisees:

Jesus said to the Pharisees, How does it seem to you respecting Christ? whose Son is He? They said unto Him, David's. He said unto them, How then doth David in spirit call Him Lord, saying, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at My right hand, until I place thine enemies as a stool of thy feet? If David then calleth Him Lord, how is He his Son (Matthew 22:42-45; Luke 20:41-44).

That the Lord glorified His Human, that is, put off the human from the mother, and put on a Human from the Father, which is the Divine Human, see in The Doctrine of the New Jerusalem 293-295, 298-310. For this reason He was not David's son, as He was not the son of Mary, whom therefore He did not call His mother, but "woman" (Matthew 12:46-49; Mark 3:31 to the end; Luke 8:19-21; John 2:4; 19:25, 26). The like is meant by "the key of Peter," as by "the key of David," namely, that the Lord has all power, and that He has this power through His Divine truth, as will be seen in the article that now follows.

Leviticus 8

Studie

   

1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

2 "Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments, and the anointing oil, and the bull of the sin offering, and the two rams, and the basket of unleavened bread;

3 and assemble all the congregation at the door of the Tent of Meeting."

4 Moses did as Yahweh commanded him; and the congregation was assembled at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

5 Moses said to the congregation, "This is the thing which Yahweh has commanded to be done."

6 Moses brought Aaron and his sons, and washed them with water.

7 He put the coat on him, tied the sash on him, clothed him with the robe, put the ephod on him, and he tied the skillfully woven band of the ephod on him, and fastened it to him with it.

8 He placed the breastplate on him; and in the breastplate he put the Urim and the Thummim.

9 He set the turban on his head; and on the turban, in front, he set the golden plate, the holy crown; as Yahweh commanded Moses.

10 Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle and all that was in it, and sanctified them.

11 He sprinkled it on the altar seven times, and anointed the altar and all its vessels, and the basin and its base, to sanctify them.

12 He poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron's head, and anointed him, to sanctify him.

13 Moses brought Aaron's sons, and clothed them with coats, and tied sashes on them, and put headbands on them; as Yahweh commanded Moses.

14 He brought the bull of the sin offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the bull of the sin offering.

15 He killed it; and Moses took the blood, and put it around on the horns of the altar with his finger, and purified the altar, and poured out the blood at the base of the altar, and sanctified it, to make atonement for it.

16 He took all the fat that was on the innards, and the cover of the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat; and Moses burned it on the altar.

17 But the bull, and its skin, and its flesh, and its dung, he burned with fire outside the camp; as Yahweh commanded Moses.

18 He presented the ram of the burnt offering: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram.

19 He killed it; and Moses sprinkled the blood around on the altar.

20 He cut the ram into its pieces; and Moses burned the head, and the pieces, and the fat.

21 He washed the innards and the legs with water; and Moses burned the whole ram on the altar. It was a burnt offering for a pleasant aroma. It was an offering made by fire to Yahweh; as Yahweh commanded Moses.

22 He presented the other ram, the ram of consecration: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram.

23 He killed it; and Moses took some of its blood, and put it on the tip of Aaron's right ear, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot.

24 He brought Aaron's sons; and Moses put some of the blood on the tip of their right ear, and on the thumb of their right hand, and on the great toe of their right foot; and Moses sprinkled the blood around on the altar.

25 He took the fat, and the fat tail, and all the fat that was on the innards, and the cover of the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and the right thigh;

26 and out of the basket of unleavened bread, that was before Yahweh, he took one unleavened cake, and one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer, and placed them on the fat, and on the right thigh.

27 He put all these in Aaron's hands and in his sons' hands, and waved them for a wave offering before Yahweh.

28 Moses took them from their hands, and burned them on the altar on the burnt offering. They were a consecration for a pleasant aroma. It was an offering made by fire to Yahweh.

29 Moses took the breast, and waved it for a wave offering before Yahweh. It was Moses' portion of the ram of consecration, as Yahweh commanded Moses.

30 Moses took some of the anointing oil, and some of the blood which was on the altar, and sprinkled it on Aaron, on his garments, and on his sons, and on his sons' garments with him, and sanctified Aaron, his garments, and his sons, and his sons' garments with him.

31 Moses said to Aaron and to his sons, "Boil the flesh at the door of the Tent of Meeting, and there eat it and the bread that is in the basket of consecration, as I commanded, saying, 'Aaron and his sons shall eat it.'

32 What remains of the flesh and of the bread you shall burn with fire.

33 You shall not go out from the door of the Tent of Meeting seven days, until the days of your consecration are fulfilled: for he shall consecrate you seven days.

34 What has been done this day, so Yahweh has commanded to do, to make atonement for you.

35 You shall stay at the door of the Tent of Meeting day and night seven days, and keep Yahweh's command, that you don't die: for so I am commanded."

36 Aaron and his sons did all the things which Yahweh commanded by Moses.
