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.

1 The whole company of them rose up and brought him before Pilate.

2 They began to accuse him, saying, "We found this man perverting the nation, forbidding paying taxes to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ, a king."

3 Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" He answered him, "So you say."

4 Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, "I find no basis for a charge against this man."

5 But they insisted, saying, "He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this place."

6 But when Pilate heard Galilee mentioned, he asked if the man was a Galilean.

7 When he found out that he was in Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem during those days.

8 Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly glad, for he had wanted to see him for a long time, because he had heard many things about him. He hoped to see some miracle done by him.

9 He questioned him with many words, but he gave no answers.

10 The chief priests and the scribes stood, vehemently accusing him.

11 Herod with his soldiers humiliated him and mocked him. Dressing him in luxurious clothing, they sent him back to Pilate.

12 Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day, for before that they were enemies with each other.

13 Pilate called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,

14 and said to them, "You brought this man to me as one that perverts the people, and see, I have examined him before you, and found no basis for a charge against this man concerning those things of which you accuse him.

15 Neither has Herod, for I sent you to him, and see, nothing worthy of death has been done by him.

16 I will therefore chastise him and release him."

17 Now he had to release one prisoner to them at the feast.

18 But they all cried out together, saying, "Away with this man! Release to us Barabbas!"--

19 one who was thrown into prison for a certain revolt in the city, and for murder.

20 Then Pilate spoke to them again, wanting to release Jesus,

21 but they shouted, saying, "Crucify! Crucify him!"

22 He said to them the third time, "Why? What evil has this man done? I have found no capital crime in him. I will therefore chastise him and release him."

23 But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. Their voices and the voices of the chief priests prevailed.

24 Pilate decreed that what they asked for should be done.

25 He released him who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, for whom they asked, but he delivered Jesus up to their will.

26 When they led him away, they grabbed one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, and laid on him the cross, to carry it after Jesus.

27 A great multitude of the people followed him, including women who also mourned and lamented him.

28 But Jesus, turning to them, said, "Daughters of Jerusalem, don't weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

29 For behold, the days are coming in which they will say, 'Blessed are the barren, the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed.'

30 Then they will begin to tell the mountains, 'Fall on us!' and tell the hills, 'Cover us.'

31 For if they do these things in the green tree, what will be done in the dry?"

32 There were also others, two criminals, led with him to be put to death.

33 When they came to the place that is called The Skull, they crucified him there with the criminals, one on the right and the other on the left.

34 Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they don't know what they are doing." Dividing his garments among them, they cast lots.

35 The people stood watching. The rulers with them also scoffed at him, saying, "He saved others. Let him save himself, if this is the Christ of God, his chosen one!"

36 The soldiers also mocked him, coming to him and offering him vinegar,

37 and saying, "If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!"

38 An inscription was also written over him in letters of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew: "THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS."

39 One of the criminals who was hanged insulted him, saying, "If you are the Christ, save yourself and us!"

40 But the other answered, and rebuking him said, "Don't you even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation?

41 And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward for our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong."

42 He said to Jesus, "Lord, remember me when you come into your Kingdom."

43 Jesus said to him, "Assuredly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise."

44 It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour.

45 The sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in two.

46 Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!" Having said this, he breathed his last.

47 When the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, "Certainly this was a righteous man."

48 All the multitudes that came together to see this, when they saw the things that were done, returned home beating their breasts.

49 All his acquaintances, and the women who followed with him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things.

50 Behold, a man named Joseph, who was a member of the council, a good and righteous man

51 (he had not consented to their counsel and deed), from Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who was also waiting for the Kingdom of God:

52 this man went to Pilate, and asked for Jesus' body.

53 He took it down, and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb that was cut in stone, where no one had ever been laid.

54 It was the day of the Preparation, and the Sabbath was drawing near.

55 The women, who had come with him out of Galilee, followed after, and saw the tomb, and how his body was laid.

56 They returned, and prepared spices and ointments. On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
