1 Ja tämä on vikauhrin sääty: se on kaikkein pyhin.

2 Siinä paikassa, kussa polttouhri teurastetaan, pitää myös teurastettaman vikauhri, ja sen veri pitää priiskotettaman alttarille ympärinsä.

3 Ja kaikki sen lihavuus pitää uhrattaman, sekä häntä että lihavuus, joka sisällykset peittää.

4 Ja ne kaksi munaskuuta sen lihavuuden kanssa, joka niiden päällä on lanteissa: ja maksan kalvon munaskuiden kanssa pitää hänen eroittaman.

5 Niin pitää papin sen polttaman alttarilla tuliuhriksi Herralle; se on vikauhri.

6 Jokainen miehenpuoli papeista pitää syömän sen; pyhässä siassa pitää se syötämän; sillä se on kaikkein pyhin.

7 Niinkuin rikosuhri on, niin pitää myös vikauhrin oleman; sillä yhtäläinen pitää heidän molempain säätynsä oleman: ja se pitää sen papin oma oleman, joka sillä sovittaa.

8 Sen papin, joka polttouhrin uhraa, pitää polttouhrin vuota oma oleman, jonka hän uhrannut on.

9 Ja kaikkinainen ruokauhri, joka pätsissä kypsetty on, ja kaikki kuin pannussa eli halstarilla valmistettu on, sen pitää papin oman oleman, joka sen uhraa.

10 Ja kaikkinainen ruokauhri, joka öljyllä sekoitettu, taikka kuiva on, sen pitää kaikkein Aaronin lasten oman oleman, yhden niinkuin toisenkin.

11 Ja tämä on kiitosuhrin sääty, joka Herralle uhrataan:

12 Jos he tahtovat tehdä ylistysuhria, niin heidän pitää uhraaman ylistysuhrin sivussa happamattomia leipiä, sekoitettuja öljyllä, ja happamattomia ohukaisia kyrsiä, voidelluita öljyllä, ja pannussa kypsetyitä sämpyläleipiä sekoitettuja öljyllä.

13 Mutta senkaltaisia uhreja pitää heidän tekemän hapanneen kyrsän päälle, heidän kiitosuhrinsa ylistysuhriksi.

14 Ja yksi kaikista niistä pitää uhrattaman Herralle ylennysuhriksi, ja sen pitää papin oman oleman, joka priiskottaa kiitosuhrin vereen.

15 Ja ylistysuhrin liha hänen kiitosuhrissansa pitää sinä päivänä syötämän, jona se uhrattu on, ja ei mitään pidä tähteeksi jätettämän huomeneksi.

16 Mutta jos joku lupauksesta taikka hyvästä tahdosta uhraa, niin se pitää sinä päivänä syötämän, jona se uhrattu on; mutta jos jotakin tähteeksi jää uhrista toiseksi päiväksi, niin pitää se myös syötämän.

17 Mutta se mikä tähteeksi jää siitä uhrin lihasta, niin se kolmantena päivänä pitää poltettaman tulessa.

18 Mutta jos joku syö kolmantena päivänä siitä uhratusta lihasta, joka on hänen kiitosuhristansa, niin ei ole hän otollinen, joka sen on uhrannut, eikä se hänelle pidä luettaman, mutta se on kauhistus; ja jokainen sielu, joka sitä syö, on vikapää pahaan tekoon.

19 Mutta se liha, joka sattuu johonkuhun saastaisuuteen, ei pidä syötämän, mutta tulessa poltettaman. Joka puhdas on, se pitää syömän lihasta.

20 Ja se sielu, joka syö kiitosuhrin lihasta, siitä mikä Hrran oma on, ja hänen saastaisuutensa on hänen päällänsä, se sielu pitää hävitettämän kansoistansa.

21 Jos joku sielu rupee johonkuhun saastaisuuteen, olkoon se saastainen ihminen eli saastainen eläin eli joku muu saastainen kauhistus, ja syö kiitosuhrin lihasta siitä mikä Herran oma on, se pitää hävitettämän kansoistansa.

22 Ja Herra puhui Mosekselle, sanoen:

23 Puhu Israelin lapsille, sanoen: ei teidän pidä mitään lihavuutta syömän härjistä, lampaista ja vuohista.

24 Raadon eli haaskan lihavuus pantakoon kaikkinaisiin tarpeisiin: mutta ei teidän pidä sitä kaiketikaan syömän.

25 Sillä joka syö lihavuutta siitä eläimestä, joka Herralle tuliuhriksi annettu on, se sielu pitää hävitettämän kansoistansa.

26 Ei teidän pidä myös verta syömän kaikissa teidän asumasioissanne, ei linnuista, eikä eläimistä.

27 Jokainen sielu, joka syö jotain verta, se pitää hävitettämän kansoistansa.

28 Ja Herra puhui Mosekselle, sanoen:

29 Puhu Israelin lapsille, sanoen: se joka Herralle kiitosuhrinsa uhraa, hänen pitää tuoman, mikä Herralle kiitosuhriksi tulee.

30 Mutta hänen pitää sen kantaman kädessänsä Herran tuliuhriksi: rinnan lihavuuden pitää hänen tuoman rinnan kanssa, että ne pitää oleman häälytysuhriksi Herralle.

31 Mutta papin pitää polttaman lihavuuden alttarilla, ja rinnan pitää Aaronin ja hänen poikainsa oleman.

32 Ja oikian lavan pitää teidän antaman papille ylennysuhriksi, teidän kiitosuhristanne.

33 Ja joka uhraa kiitosuhrin verta ja lihavuutta Aaronin pojista, hänen pitää saaman oikian lavan osaksensa.

34 Sillä häälytysrinnan ja ylennyslavan olen minä ottanut Israelin lapsilta heidän kiitosuhristansa, ja olen sen antanut papille Aaronille ja hänen pojillensa ijankaikkiseksi säädyksi, Israelin lapsilta.

35 Tämä on Aaronin ja hänen poikainsa voitelus Herran tuliuhrista, siitä päivästä, jona he Herralle papiksi annettiin.

36 Jotka Herra käski sinä päivänä, jona hän heidän voiteli, annettaa heille Israelin lapsilta, ijankaikkiseksi säädyksi heidän sukukunnissansa.

37 Ja tämä on sääty polttouhrista, ruokauhrista, rikosuhrista, vikauhrista, niin myös täytösuhrista ja kiitosuhrista.

38 Jonka Herra Mosekselle käski Sinain vuorella; sinä päivänä, jona hän käskyn antoi hänelle Israelin lasten tykö, että heidän pitää uhraaman uhrinsa Herralle Sinain korvessa.

9965. 'That they may not bear iniquity and die' means the elimination of the whole of worship. This is clear from the meaning of 'bearing the iniquity', when the subject is the priestly office of Aaron and his sons, as a removal or shifting away of falsities and evils with those who are governed by good derived from the Lord, dealt with above in 9937. But when it speaks of them 'bearing iniquity and dying' the elimination of the whole of worship is meant, see 9928; for the representative worship died because nothing of it appeared any longer in heaven. The situation in all this may become clear from what has been stated and shown above in 9959-9961. They also died when they did not act in accordance with the statutes, 1 as is evident from Aaron's sons Nadab and Abihu, who were devoured by fire from heaven when they did not take the fire of the altar to burn incense but foreign 2 fire, Leviticus 10:1-2ff. 'The fire of the altar' represented God's love, thus love from the Lord, whereas 'foreign fire' represented love from hell. The elimination of worship was meant by their burning incense with this fire and their consequent death. For the meaning of 'fire' as love, see 5215, 6832, 7324, 7575, 7852.

[2] Many places in the Word state that they would bear iniquity when they did not do things in accordance with the statutes, and by this was meant damnation because sins had not been removed. Not that they themselves were condemned on account of disobeying the statutes. Rather by doing so they eliminated representative worship and in so doing represented the damnation of those who remain in their sins. For none are condemned because they fail in their performance of outward religious observances, only because of evils in the heart, thus because of failing in such observances as a result of evil in the heart. This is what 'bearing iniquity' means in the following places: In Moses,

If a soul sins and acts against any of Jehovah's commandments regarding what ought not to be done, 3 though he does not know it, yet he will be guilty and will bear his iniquity. Leviticus 5:17-18.

Here the retention of evils and consequent damnation should not be understood literally by 'bearing iniquity', although that is the spiritual meaning; for it says 'though he does not know it', implying that what the person has done does not spring from evil in the heart.

[3] In the same author,

If any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offering is eaten at all on the third day, the one offering it will not be accepted. It is an abomination, and the soul that eats it will bear his iniquity, and will be cut off from his people. Leviticus 7:18; 19:7-8.

Here also 'bearing iniquity' means remaining in his sins and being as a result in a state of damnation. It does so not because the person ate some of his sacrifice on the third day, but because 'eating it on the third day' represented something abominable, namely an action leading to damnation. Thus 'bearing iniquity and being cut off from his people' represented the damnation of those who performed the abomination meant by that deed. Nevertheless there was no condemnation on account of his having eaten it, for interior evils that were represented are what condemn, not exterior actions in which those evils are not present.

[4] In the same author,

Every soul who eats a carcass 4 or that which has been torn, and does not wash his clothes and bathe his flesh shall bear his iniquity. Leviticus 17:15-16.

Since 'eating a carcass or that which has been torn' represented making evil or falsity one's own, the expression 'bearing iniquity' also has a representative meaning. In the same author,

If a man who is clean fails to keep the Passover, this soul shall be cut off from his people, because he did not bring the offering of Jehovah at its appointed time; he shall bear his sin. Numbers 9:13.

'The Passover' represented deliverance by the Lord from damnation, 7093 (end), 7867, 7995, 9286-9292; and 'the Passover supper' represented being joined to the Lord through the good of love, 7836, 7997, 8001. And since these things were represented it was decreed that anyone who did not keep the Passover should be cut off from his people and that he should bear his sin. The failure to keep it was not really so great a crime; rather it represented those who at heart refuse to accept the Lord and consequently deliverance from sins, and so who have no wish to be joined to Him through love. Thus it represented their damnation.

[5] In the same author,

The children of Israel shall not come near the tent of meeting, or else they will bear iniquity and die. 5 Levites shall perform the work of the tent of meeting, and these shall bear the iniquity. Numbers 18:22-23.

The reason why the people would bear iniquity and die if they were to go near the tent of meeting to do the work there was that they would thereby eliminate the representative worship assigned to the function of the priests. The function of the priests or the priestly office represented the Lord's entire work of salvation, 9809; and this is why it says that the Levites, who also were priests, should bear the people's iniquity, by which expiation or atonement was meant, that is, removal from evils and falsities with those who are governed by good derived from the Lord alone, 9937. 'Bearing iniquity' means real damnation when this expression is used in reference to those who perform evil deeds because their heart is evil, such as those mentioned in Leviticus 20:17, 19-20; 24:15-16; Ezekiel 18:20; 23:49; and elsewhere.

9198. 'Any widow' means those who have good that is without truth, and still have a desire for truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'a widow' as good that is without truth and nevertheless has a desire for truth. The reason why 'a widow' has this meaning is that 'a man' (vir) means truth and his 'wife' (mulier) good, so that when this man's wife has become a widow she means good that is without truth. But in an even more internal sense than this 'a widow' means truth that is without good, the reason being that in that sense 'a husband' (maritus) means good and his 'wife' (uxor) truth, see 3236, 4510, 4823. In this sense the Lord by virtue of His Divine Good is called 'Husband' and 'Bridegroom', while His kingdom and Church by virtue of its acceptance of Divine Truth that emanates from the Lord is called 'wife' and 'bride', 9182. But since the subject now is not the Lord's celestial Church but His spiritual Church, 'a widow' means one who has good but not truth, and still has a desire for truth. It is similar with 'an orphan'. In the inmost or celestial sense 'an orphan' means those who have good and a desire for truth. See what has been introduced and explained in 4844 regarding the meaning of 'a widow' and 'an orphan' in the celestial sense. To this let what the Lord says in Luke about the widow in Zarephath be added,

Truly I say to you that no prophet is accepted in his own country. In truth, I tell you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, while there was a great famine over the whole land; yet Elijah was sent to none of them, except to Zarephath of Sidon, to a woman - a widow. Luke 4:24-26.

[2] Since the Divine was the source of all the things spoken by the Lord they have an inner meaning; and the subject in that inner meaning is the Lord Himself, also His kingdom and the Church. Therefore what the Lord meant on that level of meaning by the things He said about the widow in Zarephath of Sidon may be seen if brought out into the open.

No prophet is accepted in his own country

This means that the Lord and Divine Truth that comes from Him are less well received and loved in people's hearts within the Church than outside it. The Lord spoke these words to the Jews, among whom the Church existed at that time; and as is well known, the Lord was less well received there than by gentiles who were outside the Church. The situation is similar in the Church at the present day, which takes its name Christian from Him. In this Church the Lord is indeed received in what it teaches; yet few accept Him by acknowledging Him in their heart, fewer still doing so with love and affection. The acceptance of Him by gentiles outside the Church who have been converted is different. They worship and adore Him as their one and only God; they declare with their lips and contemplate in their hearts that they acknowledge Him as their God, since He has appeared in human form, 5256. A contrary attitude exists within the Church. Here, because He was born a human being, there is scarcely any acknowledgement of Him as God in people's hearts. They make His Humanity like their own, even though they know that His Father was Jehovah and not a human being. All this shows what 'No prophet is accepted in his own country' has been used to mean in the internal sense. In this sense 'a prophet' means the Lord in respect of Divine Truth, and so in respect of the teachings of the Church. For the meaning of 'a prophet' as one who teaches, and in the abstract sense as doctrinal teachings, and - when it is used in reference to the Lord - as Divine Truth or the Word, see above in 9188 (end).

[3] There were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah

In the internal sense this means the situation at that time, when God's truth coming from the Word was acknowledged in the Church. 'Widows' are those who have good that is without truth, as stated above; 'Elijah' is the Lord in respect of the Word, 'the days of Elijah' being the situation or state at that time, when God's truth coming from the Word was received; and 'Israel' is the Church.

'Elijah' represented the Lord in respect of the Word, see Preface to Genesis 18, and 2762, 5247 (end), 8029. 'Days' are states, 893, 2788, 3462, 3785, 4850, 6110, 8426. 'Israel' is the Church, 4286, 6426, 6637, 8805.

[4] When the heaven was closed for three years and six months

This means the internal Church completely laid waste, 'the heaven' meaning the internal aspect of the Church, and 'three years and six months' meaning to completeness. For the meaning of 'the heaven' as the internal aspect of the Church, see 1733, 1850, 3355, 4535. It is said to be 'closed' when it has been laid waste and exists no longer. As regards the meaning of 'three years and six months' as to completeness, this is clear from the meaning of '1260 days' in Revelation 11:3; 12:6 - this number of days making up three years and six months - as to completeness or right to the end. It is clear likewise from the meaning of 'three days and a half', Revelation 11:9-11, and also of 'a time and times and half a time' in Revelation 12:14, and in Daniel 12:7 too, as to completeness or right to the end.

[5] While there was a great famine over the whole land

This means the external Church also laid waste, for 'a famine' is an absence and want of truth and good, 3364, 5277, 5279, 5281, 5300, 5360, 5376, 5415, 5576, 6110, 7102, and 'the land' or 'the earth' is the external Church, 1262, 1413, 1733, 1850, 2117, 2118 (end), 3355, 4535, 5577, 8011, 8732.

Yet Elijah was sent to none of them

This means the Lord in respect of the Word, thus the Lord's Word, not sent to others, because it would not have been received elsewhere, 'Elijah' being, as stated above, the Lord in respect of the Word.

[6] Except to Zarephath of Sidon, to a woman - a widow

This means sent only to those who have good and a desire for truth. The description 'Zarephath of Sidon' is used because 'Sidon' means cognitions or knowledge of goodness and truth, 1201. The fact that 'a woman - a widow' means one who has good and a desire for truth is evident from this, and especially from what is recorded about her in the first Book of Kings,

Elijah came to Zarephath of Sidon, to a woman - a widow - to sustain him. He told her to bring him a little water to drink, and then to bring him a small piece of bread in her hand. She said that she had a tiny amount of flour in a jar, and a tiny amount of oil in a flask, to make just a cake for herself and her son. Elijah said, Make me a small cake from it first, and bring it to me; and make one for yourself and your son after that. She did so; and the jar of flour was not used up, and the flask of oil did not fail. 1 Kings 17:9-15.

[7] Obedience, and the desire that good has for truth, is described by her giving the prophet water, as she had been commanded to do, and then by her making a cake for him first from the little she had, and for herself and her son after that. Consequent enrichment in the good of truth is meant when it says that the pot of flour was not used up and the flask of oil did not fail.

'Water' in the internal sense is truth, 2702, 3058, 3424, 4976, 5668, 8568. 'Flour' is truth derived from good, 2177. 'Oil is the good of love, 886, 4582, 4638. 'A cake' made from these ingredients is truth joined to its own good, 7978.

From all this it is plain that 'a widow' means one who has good and a desire for truth. Good and its desire for truth is described by her charity towards the prophet, greater than towards herself and her son, 'a prophet' being teachings that present truth, as has been shown above.

[8] All that has been said here shows what the Word is like, that it conceals within itself the arcana of heaven, which are not visible in the letter. But every detail of what the Lord spoke when He was in the world, and of what He spoke before that through prophets, contains heavenly and Divine matters on a level altogether above the sense of the letter. And not only individual words contain those matters, but even the individual letters of words, indeed the individual parts of each letter. But is there anyone who believes this to be so? Yet it is most certainly so; it has been proved to me beyond all doubt, as in the Lord's Divine mercy will be shown elsewhere.
