1 Følgende var Arons og Moses's Efterkommere, på den Tid HE EN talede på Sinaj Bjerg.

2 Navnene på Arons Sønner var følgende: Nadab, den førstefødte, Abihu, Eleazar og Itamar;

3 det var Navnene på Arons Sønner, de salvede Præster, som indsattes til Præstetjeneste.

4 Men Nadab og Abihu døde for HE ENs Åsyn, da de frembar fremmed Ild for HE ENs Åsyn i Sinaj Ørken, og de havde ingen Sønner. Således kom Eleazar og Itamar til at gøre Præstetjenest: for deres Fader Arons Åsyn.

5 HE EN talede til Moses og sagde:

6 Lad Levis Stamme træde frem og stil dem frem for Præsten Aron, for at de kan gå ham til Hånde.

7 De skal tage Vare på, hvad han og hele Menigheden har at varetage foran Åbenbaringsteltet, og således udføre Arbejdet ved Boligen,

8 og de skal tage Vare på alle Åbenbaringsteltets edskaber og på, hvad Israeliterne har at varetage, og således udføre Arbejdet ved Boligen.

9 Altså skal du overgive Aron og hans Sønner Leviterne; de er ham overgivet som Gave fra Israeliterne.

10 Men Aron og hans Sønner skal du sætte til at tage Vare på deres Præstetjeneste; enhver Lægmand, som trænger sig ind deri, skal lide Døden.

11 HE EN talede til Moses og sagde:

12 Se, jeg har selv udtaget Leviterne af Israelitternes Midte i Stedet for alt det førstefødte, der åbner Moders Liv hos Israeliterne, og Leviterne er blevet min Ejendom;

13 thi mig tilhører alt det førstefødte. Dengang jeg dræbte alt det førstefødte i Ægypten, helligede jeg mig alt det førstefødte i Israel, både af Mennesker og Dyr; mig HE EN skal de tilhøre.

14 HE EN talede til Moses i Sinaj Ørken og sagde:

15 Du skal mønstre Levis Sønner efter deres Fædrenehuse, efter deres Slægter; alle af Mandkøn fra en Måned og opefter skal du mønstre.

16 Da mønstrede Moses dem på HE ENs Bud, som der var ham pålagt.

17 Følgende var Levis Sønner efter deres Navne: Gerson, Kehat og Merari.

18 Følgende var Navnene på Gersons Sønner efter deres Slægter: Libni og Sjimi;

19 Hehats Sønner efter deres Slægter var: Amram, Jizhar, Hebron og Uzziel;

20 Meraris Sønner efter deres Slægter var: Mali og Musji. Det var Leviternes Slægter efter deres Fædrenehuse.

21 Fra Gerson nedstammede Libniternes og Sjimiternes Slægter; det var Gersoniternes Slægter.

22 De, som mønstredes af dem, da alle af Mandkøn fra en Måned og opefter blev optalt, de, som mønstredes af dem, udgjorde 7500.

23 Gersoniternes Slægter havde deres Lejrplads bag ved Boligen mod Vest.

24 Øverste for Gersoniternes Fædrenehus var Eljasar, Laels Søn.

25 Gersoniterne havde ved Åbenbaringsteltet at tage Vare på selve Boligen og Teltdækket, dets Dække, Forhænget for Åbenbaringsteltets Indgang,

26 Forgårdens Omhæng, Forhænget for Indgangen til Forgården, der omgav Boligen og Alteret, og dens Teltreb, alt Arbejdet dermed.

27 Fra Kehat nedstammede Amramiternes, Jizhariternes, Hebroniternes og Uzzieliternes Slægter; det var Kehatiternes Slægter.

28 De, der mønstredes af dem, da alle af Mandkøn fra en Måned og opefter blev optalt, udgjorde 8600, som tog Vare på, hvad der var at varetage ved Helligdommen.

29 Kehatiternes Slægter havde deres Lejrplads ved Boligens Sydside.

30 Øverste for Kehatiternes Slægters Fædrenehus var Elizafan, Uzziels Søn.

31 De havde at tage Vare på Arken, Bordet, Lysestagen, Altrene, Helligdommens edskaber, som brugtes ved Tjenesten, og Forhænget med dertil hørende Arbejde.

32 Øverste over Leviternes Øverster var Eleazar, Præsten Arons Søn, som havde Tilsyn med dem, der tog Vare på, hvad der var at varetage ved Helligdommen.

33 Fra Merari nedstammede Maliternes og Musjiternes Slægter; det var Meraris Slægter.

34 De, som mønstredes af dem, da alle af Mandkøn fra en Måned og opefter blev optalt, udgjorde 6200.

35 Øverste for Meraris Slægters Fædrenehus var Zuriel, Abibajils Søn. De havde deres Lejrplads ved Boligens Nordside.

36 Merariterne var sat til at tage Vare på Boligens Brædder, Tværstænger, Piller og Fodstykker, alle dens edskaber og alt det dertil hørende Arbejde,

37 Pillerne til Forgården, som var rundt om den, med Fodstykker, Pæle og eb.

38 Foran Boligen, på Åbenbaringsteltets Forside mod Øst, havde Moses, Aron og hans Sønner deres Lejrpladser, og de tog Vare på alt det, Israeliterne havde at varetage ved Boligen. Enhver Lægmand, der trængte sig ind i det, måtte lide Døden.

39 De mønstrede af Leviterne, de, som Moses og Aron mønstrede på HE ENs Bud efter deres Slægter, alle af Mandkøn fra en Måned og opefter, udgjorde i alt 22 000.

40 HE EN sagde til Moses: Du skal mønstre alle førstefødte af Mandkøn blandt Israeliterne fra en Måned og opefter og optage Tallet på deres Navne.

41 Så skal du udtage Leviterne til mig HE EN i Stedet for alle Israelitternes førstefødte og ligeledes Leviternes Kvæg i Stedet for alt det førstefødte af Israelitternes Kvæg.

42 Og Moses mønstrede, som HE EN havde pålagt ham, alle Israelitternes førstefødte;

43 og da Navnene på dem fra en Måned og opefter optaltes, udgjorde de førstefødte af Mandkøn, alle de, som mønstredes i alt 22 273.

44 Derpå talede HE EN til Moses og sagde:

45 Tag Leviterne i Stedet for alle Israelitternes førstefødte og ligeledes Leviternes Kvæg i Stedet for deres Kvæg, så at Leviterne kommer til at tilhøre mig HE EN.

46 Men til Udløsning af de 273, hvormed Antallet af Israelitternes førstefødte overstiger Leviternes Antal,

47 skal du tage fem Sekel for hvert Hoved, efter hellig Vægt skal du tage dem, tyve Gera på en Sekel;

48 og Pengene skal du give Aron og hans Sønner som Udløsning for de overskydende.

49 Da tog Moses Løsepengene af de overskydende, dem, der ikke var udløst ved Leviterne;

50 af Israelitternes førstefødte tog han Pengene, 1365 Sekel efter hellig Vægt.

51 Og Moses gav Aron og hans Sønner Løsepengene efter HE ENs Bud, som HE EN havde pålagt Moses.

Apocalypse Revealed#357

学习本章节

357. Of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand were sealed. This symbolizes an affection for truth springing from goodness, producing intelligence in those people who will be part of the New Heaven and of the Lord's New Church.

In the highest sense Levi symbolizes love and mercy; in the spiritual sense, charity in practice, which constitutes goodness of life; and in the natural sense, association and conjunction. The name Levi also comes from a word meaning to attach, which in the Word symbolizes a conjunction by love. Here, however, Levi symbolizes a love or affection for truth and the resulting intelligence, because he comes after Simeon and is the middle one in this series.

Since this is what Levi represents, therefore that tribe became the priesthood (Numbers 3:1-51, Deuteronomy 21:5, and elsewhere).

That the tribe of Levi symbolizes a love of truth, which is the fundamental love that causes a church to be a church, and at the same time the resulting intelligence, can be seen from the following passages:

...Jehovah... has chosen (the sons of Levi) to minister to Him and to bless in (His) name. (Deuteronomy 21:5)

To bless in the name of Jehovah is to teach, and only those people can do this who possess an affection for truth and the resulting intelligence.

...they guard Your Word and keep Your covenant. They shall teach Jacob Your judgments, and Israel Your law. (Deuteronomy 33:8-11)

The Lord whom you seek will suddenly come to His temple..., and He will sit as a refiner and a purifier of silver; and He will purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver... (Malachi 3:1-4)

To purify the sons of Levi is to purify people who have an affection for truth.

Because intelligence causes that affection to blossom, therefore the rod of Levi, with the name of Aaron written on it, blossomed with almonds (Numbers 17:2-11).

Numbers第3章

1 Now this is the history of the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that Yahweh spoke with Moses in Mount Sinai.

2 These are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

3 These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests who were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest's office.

4 Nadab and Abihu died before Yahweh, when they offered strange fire before Yahweh, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children. Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest's office in the presence of Aaron their father.

5 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

6 "Bring the tribe of Levi near, and set them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister to him.

7 They shall keep his requirements, and the requirements of the whole congregation before the Tent of Meeting, to do the service of the tabernacle.

8 They shall keep all the furnishings of the Tent of Meeting, and the obligations of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle.

9 You shall give the Levites to Aaron and to his sons. They are wholly given to him on the behalf of the children of Israel.

10 You shall appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall keep their priesthood. The stranger who comes near shall be put to death."

11 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

12 "Behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of all the firstborn who open the womb among the children of Israel; and the Levites shall be mine:

13 for all the firstborn are mine. On the day that I struck down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I made holy to me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and animal. They shall be mine. I am Yahweh."

14 Yahweh spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,

15 "Count the children of Levi by their fathers' houses, by their families. You shall count every male from a month old and upward."

16 Moses numbered them according to the word of Yahweh, as he was commanded.

17 These were the sons of Levi by their names: Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari.

18 These are the names of the sons of Gershon by their families: Libni and Shimei.

19 The sons of Kohath by their families: Amram, and Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.

20 The sons of Merari by their families: Mahli and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites according to their fathers' houses.

21 Of Gershon was the family of the Libnites, and the family of the Shimeites: these are the families of the Gershonites.

22 Those who were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, even those who were numbered of them were seven thousand five hundred.

23 The families of the Gershonites shall encamp behind the tabernacle westward.

24 The prince of the fathers' house of the Gershonites shall be Eliasaph the son of Lael.

25 The duty of the sons of Gershon in the Tent of Meeting shall be the tabernacle, and the Tent, its covering, and the screen for the door of the Tent of Meeting,

26 and the hangings of the court, and the screen for the door of the court, which is by the tabernacle, and around the altar, and its cords for all of its service.

27 Of Kohath was the family of the Amramites, and the family of the Izharites, and the family of the Hebronites, and the family of the Uzzielites: these are the families of the Kohathites.

28 According to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, there were eight thousand six hundred, keeping the requirements of the sanctuary.

29 The families of the sons of Kohath shall encamp on the south side of the tabernacle.

30 The prince of the fathers' house of the families of the Kohathites shall be Elizaphan the son of Uzziel.

31 Their duty shall be the ark, the table, the lamp stand, the altars, the vessels of the sanctuary with which they minister, and the screen, and all its service.

32 Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall be prince of the princes of the Levites, with the oversight of those who keep the requirements of the sanctuary.

33 Of Merari was the family of the Mahlites, and the family of the Mushites. These are the families of Merari.

34 Those who were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, were six thousand two hundred.

35 The prince of the fathers' house of the families of Merari was Zuriel the son of Abihail. They shall encamp on the north side of the tabernacle.

36 The appointed duty of the sons of Merari shall be the tabernacle's boards, its bars, its pillars, its sockets, all its instruments, all its service,

37 the pillars of the court around it, their sockets, their pins, and their cords.

38 Those who encamp before the tabernacle eastward, in front of the Tent of Meeting toward the sunrise, shall be Moses, and Aaron and his sons, keeping the requirements of the sanctuary for the duty of the children of Israel. The stranger who comes near shall be put to death.

39 All who were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron numbered at the commandment of Yahweh, by their families, all the males from a month old and upward, were twenty-two thousand.

40 Yahweh said to Moses, "Number all the firstborn males of the children of Israel from a month old and upward, and take the number of their names.

41 You shall take the Levites for me (I am Yahweh) instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel; and the livestock of the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the livestock of the children of Israel."

42 Moses numbered, as Yahweh commanded him, all the firstborn among the children of Israel.

43 All the firstborn males according to the number of names, from a month old and upward, of those who were numbered of them, were twenty-two thousand two hundred seventy-three.

44 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

45 "Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites instead of their livestock; and the Levites shall be mine. I am Yahweh.

46 For the redemption of the two hundred seventy-three of the firstborn of the children of Israel, who exceed the number of the Levites,

47 you shall take five shekels apiece for each one; after the shekel of the sanctuary you shall take them (the shekel is twenty gerahs):

48 and you shall give the money, with which the remainder of them is redeemed, to Aaron and to his sons."

49 Moses took the redemption money from those who exceeded the number of those who were redeemed by the Levites;

50 from the firstborn of the children of Israel he took the money, one thousand three hundred sixty-five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary:

51 and Moses gave the redemption money to Aaron and to his sons, according to the word of Yahweh, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
