1 亚伦的两个儿子近到耶和华面前死了死了耶和华晓谕摩西

2 告诉哥哥亚伦,不可随时进所的幔子内、到柜上的施恩座前,免得他亡,因为我要从中显现在施恩座上。

3 亚伦所,要带一只公牛犊为赎祭,一只公绵为燔祭。

4 要穿上细麻布内袍,把细麻布裤子穿在身上,腰束细麻布带子,头戴细麻布冠冕;这都是服。他要用身,然後穿戴。

5 要从以色列会众取两只公山羊为赎祭,只公绵为燔祭。

6 亚伦要把赎祭的公牛奉上,为自己和本家赎

7 也要把两只公山羊安置在会幕口、耶和华面前,

8 为那两只羊拈阄,阄归与耶和华阄归与阿撒泻勒。

9 亚伦要把那拈阄归与耶和华的羊献为赎祭,

10 但那拈阄归与阿撒泻勒的羊要活着安置在耶和华面前,用以赎罪,打发人送到旷野去,归与阿撒泻勒。

11 亚伦要把赎祭的公牛带来宰了,为自己和本家赎

12 炉,从耶和华面前的上盛满炭,又拿一捧捣细的料,都入幔子内,

13 耶和华面前,把香放在上,使香的烟遮掩法柜上的施恩座,免得他亡;

14 也要取些公牛的血,用指头弹在施恩座的东面,又在施恩座的前面弹血次。

15 随後他要宰那为百姓作赎祭的公山羊,把羊的血入幔子内,弹在施恩座的上面和前面,好像弹公牛的血一样。

16 他因以色列人诸般的污秽、过犯,就是他们一切的愆,当这样在所行赎之礼,并因会幕在他们污秽之中,也要照样而行。

17 他进所赎罪的时候,会幕里不可有人,直等到他为自己和本家并以色列会众赎了罪出

18 他出来,要到耶和华面前的那里,在上行赎罪之礼,又要取些公牛的血和公山羊的血,抹在上四角的周围;

19 也要用指头把血弹在坛上次,洁净了坛,从坛上除掉以色列人诸般的污秽,使坛成圣

20 亚伦为所和会幕献完了赎罪祭,就要把那只活着的公山羊奉上。

21 按在羊上,承认以色列人诸般的孽过犯,就是他们一切的愆,把这归在羊的上,藉着所派之,送到旷野去。

22 要把这羊放在旷野,这羊要担当他们一切的罪孽,带到无人之

23 亚伦要进会幕,把他进所时所穿的细麻布衣服脱下,放在那里,

24 又要在圣处用身,穿上衣服,出来,把自己的燔祭和百姓的燔祭献上,为自己和百姓赎罪。

25 祭牲的脂油要在上焚烧。

26 那放羊归与阿撒泻勒的人要衣服,用身,然

27 作赎祭的公牛和公山羊的血既所赎,这牛羊就要搬到外,将、粪用焚烧。

28 焚烧的人要衣服,用身,然

29 每逢七初十日,你们要刻苦己心,无论是本地人,是寄居在你们中间的外人,甚麽工都不可做;这要作你们永远的定例。

30 因在这日要为你们赎,使你们洁净。你们要在耶和华面前得以洁净,脱尽一切的愆。

31 这日你们要守为圣安息日,要刻苦己心;这为永远的定例。

32 那受、接续他父亲承接职的祭司要穿上细麻布的衣,行赎罪之礼。

33 他要在至所和会幕行赎罪之礼,并要为众祭司会众的百姓赎罪。

34 这要作你们永远的定例─就是因以色列人一切的,要一年一次为他们赎。於是,亚伦照耶和华所吩咐摩西的行了。

Apocalypse Explained#952

学习本章节

  
/1232  
  

952. And girded about the breasts with golden girdles, signifies Divine spiritual good holding truths in order and connection. This is evident from the signification of "a golden girdle," as being what holds in order and in connection, for a girdle or belt encloses the garments and holds them together. Truths are so held in order and connection because truths are signified by "garments," and particularly by "linen garments." Spiritual good is meant, because the "breast" which was girt about, and the "gold" of which the girdles were made, signify that good. What has been said above, that:

The Son of man was seen in the midst of the lampstands, girt about the paps with a golden girdle (Revelation 1:3),

has a like signification, as may be seen explained above n. 65. (That a "girdle" or "belt" signifies a common bond for holding all things in order and connection may be seen in the Arcana Coelestia 9341, 9828. What "the girdle of the ephod" signifies may be seen n. 9837; and what "the belt of Aaron's coat," n. 9944.) "Belt (or girdle)" has the same signification elsewhere in the Word (as in Isaiah 9, 11:5; 23:10; Jeremiah 13:1-7).

(Continuation respecting the First Commandment.)

[2] He is deceived who supposes that he acknowledges and believes that there is a God before he abstains from the evils forbidden in the Decalogue, especially from the love of ruling from the delight in ruling, and from the love of possessing the goods of the world from the delight of possession, and not from the delight of uses. Let a man confirm himself as fully as he can, from the Word, from preachings, from books, and from the light of reason, that there is a God, and thus be persuaded that he believes, yet he does not believe unless the evils have been removed that spring from the love of self and of the world. The reason is that evils and their delights block up the way, and shut out and repel goods and their delights from heaven, and prevent their confirmation. And until heaven is confirmed there is only a faith of the lips, which in itself is no faith, and there is no faith of the heart, which is real faith. A faith of the lips is faith in externals, a faith of the heart is faith in internals; and if the internals are crowded with evils of every kind, when the externals are taken away (as they are with every man after death), man rejects from them even the faith that there is a God.

Arcana Coelestia#3761

学习本章节

3761. 'Jacob lifted up his feet' means a raising up of the natural. This is clear from the meaning of 'lifting up' as a raising up, and from the meaning of 'the feet' as the natural, dealt with below. The raising up meant here is the subject of the chapter itself, namely a raising up from external truth towards internal good. In the highest sense the subject is how the Lord according to order raised His Natural even up to the Divine, rising up step by step from external truth towards internal good. In the representative sense it is how the Lord according to a similar order makes man's natural new when regenerating him. The fact that a person who is being regenerated in adult life progresses according to the order described in the internal sense of this chapter and of those that follow is known to few. This fact is known to few because few stop to reflect on the matter and also because few at the present day are able to be regenerated; for the last days of the Church have arrived when no charity exists any longer, nor consequently any faith. This being so, people do not even know what faith is, even though the assertion 'men is saved by faith' is on everyone's lips; and not knowing this they therefore have even less knowledge of what charity is. And since they know no more than the terms faith and charity and have no knowledge of what these are essentially, it has therefore been stated that few are able to reflect on the order in accordance with which a person is made new or regenerated, and also that few are able to be regenerated.

[2] Because the subject here is the natural, and the latter is represented by 'Jacob', it is not said that he rose up and went to the land of the sons of the east but that 'he lifted up his feet'. Both these expressions mean a raising up. As regards 'rising up' having this meaning, see 2401, 2785, 2912, 2927, 3171; and as regards the expression 'lifting up the feet' which occurs here, this is used in reference to the natural - 'the feet' meaning the natural, see 2162, 3147. 'The feet' means the natural or natural things because of their correspondence with the Grand Man - currently the subject at the ends of chapters. In the Grand Man those belonging to the province of the feet are those who dwell in natural light and little spiritual light. This also is why the parts beneath the foot - the sole and the heel - mean the lowest natural things, see 259, and why 'a shoe', which is also mentioned several times in the Word, means the bodily-natural, which is the lowest part of all, 1748.
