1 Sina aga lase enese ette astuda Iisraeli laste seast oma vend Aaron ja tema pojad, et nad oleksid mulle preestriteks: Aaron, Naadab, Abihu, Eleasar ja Iitamar, Aaroni pojad.

2 Ja tee oma vennale Aaronile pühad riided auks ning iluks!

3 Räägi kõigi südamest tarkadega, keda ma olen täitnud tarkuse vaimuga, et nad teeksid Aaronile riided, et teda saaks pühitseda mulle preestriks!

4 Ja need on riided, mis nad peavad tegema: rinnakilp, õlarüü, ülekuub, kirjatud särk, peakate ja vöö; nad tehku pühad riided su vennale Aaronile ja tema poegadele, et nad saaksid olla mulle preestriteks!

5 Nad võtku kulda ja sinist, purpurpunast ja helepunast lõnga ning linast lõime

6 ja tehku õlarüü kuldsest, sinisest, purpurpunasest ja helepunasest lõngast ning korrutatud linasest lõimest kunstipäraselt kootuna!

7 Sellel olgu kaks ühendatud õlatükki, mõlemast otsast seotud!

8 Ja kunstipärane kinnitusvöö selle küljes olgu samasugune töö ning sellega ühest tükist: kuldsest, sinisest, purpurpunasest ja helepunasest lõngast ning korrutatud linasest lõimest.

9 Võta siis kaks karneoolikivi ja uurenda neisse Iisraeli poegade nimed:

10 kuus nende nimedest ühte kivisse ja kuus ülejäänud nime teise kivisse nende sünnijärgluses.

11 Otsekui kivinikerdaja uurendab pitsatit, nõnda uurenda Iisraeli poegade nimed neisse mõlemasse kivisse; valmista need ümbritseva kuldäärisega!

12 Aseta need kaks kivi õlarüü õlatükkidele kui mälestuskivid Iisraeli poegadele; ja Aaron kandku kummalgi õlal nende nimesid mälestuseks Issanda ees!

13 Tee kullast ääris

14 ja puhtast kullast kaks ketti; tee need punutuina, nööritaoliselt valmistatuina, ja kinnita need punutud ketid äärise külge!

15 Ja tee kohtu-rinnakilp kunstipäraselt kootuna; tee see nõnda, nagu on tehtud õlarüügi: tee see kuldsest, sinisest, purpurpunasest ja helepunasest lõngast ning korrutatud linasest lõimest!

16 See olgu neljanurgeline ja kahekordne, vaksapikkune ja vaksalaiune.

17 Kata see kalliskivipealistusega, neli rida kive: rubiin, topaas, smaragd ridamisi esimeses reas;

18 teises reas: türkiis, safiir, jaspis;

19 kolmandas reas: hüatsint, ahhaat, ametüst;

20 neljandas reas: krüsoliit, karneool, nefriit; kuldäärisest ümbritsetuina olgu need oma asemeis!

21 Kivid olgu vastavalt Iisraeli poegade nimedele nende kaheteistkümne nimega, igal pitsatitaoliselt uurendatud nimi vastavalt kaheteistkümnele suguharule!

22 Tee rinnakilbile puhtast kullast ketid, nööritaoliselt keerutatud!

23 Tee rinnakilbile kaks kuldrõngast ja pane need kaks rõngast rinnakilbi kahe nurga külge!

24 Ja pane need kaks kuldnööri mõlemasse rõngasse rinnakilbi nurkadel!

25 Mõlema nööri mõlemad otsad kinnita mõlema äärise külge ja kinnita need õlatükkidele õlarüü esiküljes!

26 Tee kaks kuldrõngast ja pane need rinnakilbi kahte nurka, selle ääre külge, mis on seespool vastu õlarüüd!

27 Ja tee veel kaks kuldrõngast ja pane need õlarüü mõlema õlatüki külge, selle esikülje allosasse, ühenduskohale ülespoole õlarüü vööd!

28 Rõngastega rinnakilp seotagu sinise nööriga õlarüü rõngaste külge, et see oleks ülalpool õlarüü vööd ja et rinnakilp ei tuleks lahti õlarüü küljest!

29 Nõnda kandku Aaron, kui ta läheb pühamusse, Iisraeli poegade nimesid kohtu-rinnakilbis oma südame peal alaliseks mälestuseks Issanda ees!

30 Pane kohtu-rinnakilpi ka uurim ja tummim, need olgu Aaroni südame peal, kui ta astub Issanda palge ette! Nõnda kandku Aaron alati Issanda ees Iisraeli laste õigusemõistu oma südame peal!

31 Tee õlarüü ülekuub üleni sinisest lõngast

32 ja sellel olgu keskel avaus pea jaoks; avause ümber olgu kootud äär, see olgu nagu raudrüü avaus, et see ei rebeneks.

33 Tee palistuse külge granaatõunad sinisest, purpurpunasest ja helepunasest lõngast ümber palistuse ja kuldkellukesed ümberringi nende vahele:

34 kuldkelluke ja granaatõun, kuldkelluke ja granaatõun ümber ülekuue palistuse!

35 See olgu Aaronil teenides seljas ja selle helinat olgu kuulda, kui ta läheb pühamusse Issanda ette või tuleb sealt välja, et ta ei sureks!

36 Tee puhtast kullast laubaehe ja uurenda sellesse nagu pitsatisse uurendatakse: 'Issandale pühitsetud!'

37 Kinnita see sinise nööriga peakatte külge; see olgu peakatte esiküljes!

38 See olgu Aaroni laubal, et Aaron kannaks süüd pühade andide puhul, mida Iisraeli lapsed pühitsevad, kõigi nende pühade ohvriandide puhul; see olgu alati ta laubal, et neid teha armsaiks Issanda ees!

39 Koo linasest lõimest särk, samuti tee linasest riidest peakate; ja tee vöö kirjatud tegumoes!

40 Tee Aaroni poegadele särgid ja tee neile vööd; ja tee neile peakatted auks ning iluks!

41 Pane need selga oma vennale Aaronile ja tema poegadele; ja võia neid, täida nende käed ja pühitse nad mulle preestriteks!

42 Tee neile linased püksid palja ihu katteks; need ulatugu puusadest alla reiteni;

43 need olgu jalas Aaronil ja tema poegadel, kui nad lähevad kogudusetelki või astuvad pühamus teenides altari ette, et nad ei saaks süüdlasteks ega sureks. See olgu igaveseks seadluseks temale ja ta soole pärast teda!

10040. Since the flesh of the young bull together with its skin and dung was burned with fire outside the camp, it becomes clear that the good of love was not meant by its 'flesh' but the evil of [self] love, as accords with the things stated above in 10035 regarding its 'flesh', and in 10038 just above regarding 'the camp'. But the reason why they were allowed to eat the flesh of the sacrifice, as becomes clear from places which come further on, was that in its worship that nation was interested in the outward performance but not in anything internal, see the places referred to in 9320(end), 9380. And an outward performance devoid of anything internal is not at all holy because then it is something done merely by the body and spoken by the mouth, and the heart and soul are not in it. Nevertheless the outward performance devoid of anything internal was called holy because it represented holy and internal things, these being everything that belongs to love and faith received from the Lord and offered back to Him. Since that nation was by nature such they were not permitted to eat blood and fat, because 'blood' meant Divine Truth which composes faith, while 'fat' meant Divine Good which constitutes love, both of which are received from the Lord, see above in 10033. But they were permitted to eat the flesh of a sacrifice because this flesh meant the human proprium or selfhood, 10035; and the proprium of that nation was such that they worshipped the outward forms as being holy but made nothing whatever of their inward substance. And that worship - apart from the representative aspect of it, which was holy - was idolatrous, see 4281, 4311. Furthermore that flesh, as a representative sign, had no other meaning, when its blood represented Divine Truth and its fat Divine Good, 10033; for then that flesh represented something which was devoid of life and soul, as the outward devoid of the inward is, which is referred to as being dead and which is in keeping with the following words in Moses,

You shall not eat the blood, because the blood is the soul; and you shall not eat the soul with the flesh. Deuteronomy 12:23.

[2] The worship of the nation of the catholic religion, as it is called 1 , is almost the same; that is to say, its worship is outward, devoid of anything inward. The common people are prevented from knowing the inner truths of the Word, because they are forbidden to read it, for which reason also it has come about in the Lord's Divine Providence that in the Holy Supper the common people are given the bread or flesh, but not the wine or blood. And yet blood is that which gives life to flesh, even as wine gives it to bread. For just as the bread without the wine provides no nourishment to the body, neither therefore does the good of love, meant by the bread and the flesh, without the truth of faith, meant by the wine and the blood, provide any nourishment to the soul. In the Lord's Divine Providence it has also come about there that the priest should drink the wine, because by this is meant nourishing the soul by means of Divine Truth devoid of the good of love, which is something outwardly holy devoid of anything inwardly so. They have no knowledge that this has happened in the Lord's Divine Providence because they venerate outward things in an idolatrous manner and so have no idea about inward things. If it had been otherwise, then not unlike the Jews they would have profaned holy things. That drinking of the wine by the priest alone is also a sign that knowledge of Divine Truth resides with priests alone and not with the common people, except so far as they are willing to give them it. Regarding the Holy Supper, that the bread and flesh in it are the Divine Good of the Lord's Divine Love towards the human race, and people's love offered back to the Lord, and that the blood and wine are the Divine Truth emanating from the Lord's Divine Good, and so the truth of faith received from the Lord and offered back to Him, see 3464, 3813, 4211, 4217, 4735, 4976, 6135, 6377, 6789, 7850, 9127.

As regards when it was that the flesh of sacrifices should be taken outside the camp to be burned with fire, see Leviticus 4:11-12, 21; and when it was, and by whom, that it should be eaten, Leviticus 6:26-30; 7:6, 15-19; 19:5-6; Deuteronomy 12:7, 17-18, 27; 27:6-7.

Exodus第14章

学习

   

1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

2 "Speak to the children of Israel, that they turn back and encamp before Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Baal Zephon. You shall encamp opposite it by the sea.

3 Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, 'They are entangled in the land. The wilderness has shut them in.'

4 I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and he will follow after them; and I will get honor over Pharaoh, and over all his armies; and the Egyptians shall know that I am Yahweh." They did so.

5 It was told the king of Egypt that the people had fled; and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was changed towards the people, and they said, "What is this we have done, that we have let Israel go from serving us?"

6 He prepared his chariot, and took his army with him;

7 and he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over all of them.

8 Yahweh hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel; for the children of Israel went out with a high hand.

9 The Egyptians pursued after them: all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, his horsemen, and his army; and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baal Zephon.

10 When Pharaoh drew near, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians were marching after them; and they were very afraid. The children of Israel cried out to Yahweh.

11 They said to Moses, "Because there were no graves in Egypt, have you taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you treated us this way, to bring us forth out of Egypt?

12 Isn't this the word that we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, 'Leave us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians?' For it were better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness."

13 Moses said to the people, "Don't be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of Yahweh, which he will work for you today: for the Egyptians whom you have seen today, you shall never see them again.

14 Yahweh will fight for you, and you shall be still."

15 Yahweh said to Moses, "Why do you cry to me? Speak to the children of Israel, that they go forward.

16 Lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go into the midst of the sea on dry ground.

17 I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall go in after them: and I will get myself honor over Pharaoh, and over all his armies, over his chariots, and over his horsemen.

18 The Egyptians shall know that I am Yahweh, when I have gotten myself honor over Pharaoh, over his chariots, and over his horsemen."

19 The angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud moved from before them, and stood behind them.

20 It came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel; and there was the cloud and the darkness, yet gave it light by night: and the one didn't come near the other all the night.

21 Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and Yahweh caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all the night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.

22 The children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry ground, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand, and on their left.

23 The Egyptians pursued, and went in after them into the midst of the sea: all of Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.

24 It happened in the morning watch, that Yahweh looked out on the Egyptian army through the pillar of fire and of cloud, and confused the Egyptian army.

25 He took off their chariot wheels, and they drove them heavily; so that the Egyptians said, "Let's flee from the face of Israel, for Yahweh fights for them against the Egyptians!"

26 Yahweh said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the waters may come again on the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on their horsemen."

27 Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it. Yahweh overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.

28 The waters returned, and covered the chariots and the horsemen, even all Pharaoh's army that went in after them into the sea. There remained not so much as one of them.

29 But the children of Israel walked on dry land in the midst of the sea, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand, and on their left.

30 Thus Yahweh saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore.

31 Israel saw the great work which Yahweh did to the Egyptians, and the people feared Yahweh; and they believed in Yahweh, and in his servant Moses.
