1 耶和华晓谕摩西亚伦

2 耶和华命定律法中的一条律例乃是这样:你要吩咐以色列人,把一只没有残疾、未曾负轭、纯红的母牵到你这里来,

3 祭司以利亚撒;他必牵到外,人就把牛宰在他面前。

4 祭司以利亚撒要用指头蘸这牛的血,向会幕前面弹次。

5 人要在他眼前把这母焚烧;、血、粪都要焚烧。

6 祭司要把香柏膝草、朱红色线都丢在烧的火中。

7 祭司必不洁净到晚上,要衣服,用身,然可以进

8 烧牛的人必不洁净到晚上,也要衣服,用身。

9 必有一个洁净的收起母的灰,存在外洁净的地方,为以色列会众调做除污秽的。这本是除的。

10 收起母灰的人必不洁净到晚上,要洗衣服。这要给以色列人和寄居在他们中间的外人作为永远的定例。

11 摸了人尸的,就必不洁净。

12 那人到第三要用这除污秽的水洁净自己,第七就洁净了。他若在第三不洁净自己,第七就不洁净了。

13 凡摸了人尸、不洁净自己的,就玷污了耶和华的帐幕,这人必从以色列中剪除,因为那除污秽没有洒在他身上,他就为不洁净,污秽还在他身上。”

14 在帐棚里的条例乃是这样:凡进那帐棚的,和一切在帐棚里的,都必不洁净。

15 凡敞口的器皿,就是没有扎上盖的,也是不洁净。

16 无论何人在田野里摸了被刀杀的,或是尸首,或是人的骨头,或是坟墓,就要不洁净。

17 要为这不洁净的人拿些烧成的除灰放在器皿里,倒上活

18 必当有一个洁净的,拿牛膝草蘸在这中,把在帐棚上,和一切器皿并帐棚内的众身上,又在摸了骨头,或摸了被杀的,或摸了自的,或摸了坟墓的那身上。

19 第三和第七,洁净的人要洒在不洁净的人身上,第七就使他成为洁净。

20 “但那污秽而不洁净自己的,要将他从会中剪除,因为他玷污了耶和华的圣所。除污秽的没有洒在他身上,他是不洁净的。

21 这要给你们作为永远的定例。并且那除污秽的人要洗衣服

22 不洁净人所摸的一切物就不洁净;摸了这物的人必不洁净到晚上

7920. That is in the basin. That this signifies which is in the good of the natural, is evident from the signification of a “basin,” as being the good of the natural. For by vessels in general are signified the memory-knowledges which are of the natural (n. 3068), for the reason that they are the receptacles of the influx of good and truth. And as by vessels are signified memory-knowledges, the natural is also signified, for memory-knowledges are of the natural, and the natural is the common receptacle. But specifically by vessels of wood and of brass were signified the goods of the natural, because “wood” denotes good, and so also does “brass;” hence it is that a “basin” denotes the good of the natural. Be it known that one thing is meant by “natural good,” and another by “the good of the natural.” Natural good is that which man has hereditarily; and the good of the natural is that which he has from the Lord by regeneration (as to natural good, see n. 7197).
