1 Jahve reče Mojsiju:

2 "Reci Aronu i njegovim sinovima da sveto postupaju sa svetim prinosima Izraelaca; neka ne oskvrnjuju moje sveto ime koje oni - ta moje je! - moraju svetiti. Ja sam Jahve!

3 Reci im: 'Ako se ikad tko od vaših naraštaja primakne u stanju nečistoće k svetim prinosima što ih Izraelci posvećuju Jahvi, taj će biti uklonjen od moje nazočnosti. Ja sam Jahve!'

4 Neka nitko od Aronovih potomaka koji bude gubav ili imadne izljev ne blaguje svetih prinosa dok ne postane čist. Onaj koji se dotakne bilo čega što je mrtvo tijelo okaljalo ili onaj koji iz sebe prospe sjemeni izljev;

5 onaj koji se dotakne kakva puzavca koji ga onečisti; ili čovjeka od kojega se okalja bilo kakvom nečistoćom -

6 onaj koji se dotakne čega takva neka je nečist do večeri i neka ne blaguje svetih prinosa dok ne okupa svoje tijelo u vodi.

7 Čim sunce zađe, čist je. Poslije toga može blagovati od svetih prinosa jer mu je to hrana.

8 Neka ne jede ni strva ni što je zvjerad rastrgla. Time bi se okaljao.

9 Neka drže moje naredbe, da ne navuku na se krivnju i zbog nje, oskvrnuvši se, ne poginu. Ta ja, Jahve, njih posvećujem."

10 "Neka nijedan svjetovnjak ne blaguje od prinosa; ni ukućanin ni svećenikov sluga ne smije jesti od svetoga prinosa.

11 Ali ako svećenik steče koga novcem u svoje vlasništvo, taj to može jesti kao onaj što se rodi u njegovoj kući; oni mogu jesti od njegove hrane.

12 Ako se svećenikova kći uda za svjetovnjaka, ne smije blagovati od podizanih svetih prinosa.

13 Ali ako svećenikova kći obudovi ili bude otpuštena, a nema djece pa se vrati u očevu kuću, može se hraniti očevom hranom kao u svojoj mladosti. Nikakav svjetovnjak ne smije što od toga jesti.

14 Bude li tko iz neznanja jeo sveti prinos, neka ga nadoknadi svećeniku dodajući petinu.

15 Neka ne oskvrnjuju svetih prinosa što ih Izraelci Jahvi podižu.

16 Jedući ih, navukli bi na se krivnju koja bi ih obvezivala na nadoknadu, jer ja, Jahve, posvetio sam te prinose."

17 Jahve reče Mojsiju:

18 "Govori Aronu, njegovim sinovima i svim Izraelcima i reci im: 'Svaki čovjek doma Izraelova ili stranac u Izraelu koji donosi svoj prinos kao zavjet ili kao dragovoljan dar da se prinese Jahvi kao žrtva paljenica - da bude primljen -

19 mora prinijeti muško bez mane, bilo to goveče, ovca ili koza.

20 Nikakvo s manom na njemu nemojte prinositi jer vam to neće biti primljeno.

21 Ako tko prinosi Jahvi žrtvu pričesnicu da izvrši kakav zavjet ili učini dragovoljan prinos, bilo od krupne ili sitne stoke, ta životinja, da bude primljena, mora biti bez mane; nikakve mane na njoj ne smije biti.

22 Nikakvu slijepu, ili hromu, ili osakaćenu, gušavu, šugavu ili krastavu životinju, nikakvu takvu Jahvi nemoj prinositi niti ikakvu takvu na žrtvenik kao paljenu žrtvu Jahvi polagati.

23 Junca ili ovcu s kakvim udom protegnutim ili prikaćenim možeš prinijeti kao dragovoljan prinos, ali kao žrtva zavjetnica neće biti primljena.

24 Jahvi nemojte prinositi životinje sa zgnječenim, stučenim, rastrgnutim ili odsječenim mošnjama. To u svoj zemlji ne činite

25 niti takvo što primajte od stranca da to prinesete kao hranu svoga Boga. S manom su jer su osakaćene. Zato vam neće biti primljene.'"

26 Jahve reče Mojsiju:

27 "Kad se tele oteli, janje se ojanji ili se kozle okozi, sedam dana neka ostane uza svoju majku. Od osmoga dana može biti primljeno kao paljena žrtva Jahvi.

28 Ne koljite krave ni ovce u isti dan s njezinim mladim.

29 Kad Jahvi žrtvujete žrtvu zahvalnicu, žrtvujte je tako da budete primljeni.

30 Neka se žrtva blaguje onoga istog dana; od nje ništa ne ostavljajte za ujutro. Ja sam Jahve!"

31 "Moje zapovijedi držite i vršite ih. Ja sam Jahve!

32 Ne oskvrnjujte moga svetog imena, nego neka budem proglašen svetim među Izraelcima - ja, Jahve, koji vas posvećujem.

33 Ja koji sam vas izbavio iz zemlje egipatske da budem vaš Bog, ja, Jahve."

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.

Luke 21

1 He looked up, and saw the rich people who were putting their gifts into the treasury.

2 He saw a certain poor widow casting in two small brass coins.

3 He said, "Truly I tell you, this poor widow put in more than all of them,

4 for all these put in gifts for God from their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, put in all that she had to live on."

5 As some were talking about the temple and how it was decorated with beautiful stones and gifts, he said,

6 "As for these things which you see, the days will come, in which there will not be left here one stone on another that will not be thrown down."

7 They asked him, "Teacher, so when will these things be? What is the sign that these things are about to happen?"

8 He said, "Watch out that you don't get led astray, for many will come in my name, saying, 'I am he,' and, 'The time is at hand.' Therefore don't follow them.

9 When you hear of wars and disturbances, don't be terrified, for these things must happen first, but the end won't come immediately."

10 Then he said to them, "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.

11 There will be great earthquakes, famines, and plagues in various places. There will be terrors and great signs from heaven.

12 But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and will persecute you, delivering you up to synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors for my name's sake.

13 It will turn out as a testimony for you.

14 Settle it therefore in your hearts not to meditate beforehand how to answer,

15 for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to withstand or to contradict.

16 You will be handed over even by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends. They will cause some of you to be put to death.

17 You will be hated by all men for my name's sake.

18 And not a hair of your head will perish.

19 "By your endurance you will win your lives.

20 "But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is at hand.

21 Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let those who are in the midst of her depart. Let those who are in the country not enter therein.

22 For these are days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

23 Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who nurse infants in those days! For there will be great distress in the land, and wrath to this people.

24 They will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led captive into all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled down by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

25 There will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars; and on the earth anxiety of nations, in perplexity for the roaring of the sea and the waves;

26 men fainting for fear, and for expectation of the things which are coming on the world: for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

27 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

28 But when these things begin to happen, look up, and lift up your heads, because your redemption is near."

29 He told them a parable. "See the fig tree, and all the trees.

30 When they are already budding, you see it and know by your own selves that the summer is already near.

31 Even so you also, when you see these things happening, know that the Kingdom of God is near.

32 Most certainly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all things are accomplished.

33 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away.

34 "So be careful, or your hearts will be loaded down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day will come on you suddenly.

35 For it will come like a snare on all those who dwell on the surface of all the earth.

36 Therefore be watchful all the time, praying that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will happen, and to stand before the Son of Man."

37 Every day Jesus was teaching in the temple, and every night he would go out and spend the night on the mountain that is called Olivet.

38 All the people came early in the morning to him in the temple to hear him.
