1 Und Jehova redete zu Mose und sprach:

2 ede zu den Kindern Israel und sprich: Wenn jemand aus Versehen sündigt gegen irgend eines der Verbote Jehovas, die nicht getan werden sollen, und irgend eines derselben tut, -

3 wenn der gesalbte Priester sündigt nach einem Vergehen des Volkes, (And.: zur Verschuldung des Volkes) so soll er für seine Sünde, die er begangen hat, einen jungen Farren ohne Fehl dem Jehova darbringen zum Sündopfer.

4 Und er soll den Farren an den Eingang des Zeltes der Zusammenkunft vor Jehova bringen und seine Hand auf den Kopf des Farren legen und den Farren schlachten vor Jehova.

5 Und der gesalbte Priester nehme von dem Blute des Farren und bringe es in das Zelt der Zusammenkunft;

6 und der Priester tauche seinen Finger in das Blut und sprenge von dem Blute siebenmal vor Jehova gegen den Vorhang des Heiligtums hin.

7 Und der Priester tue von dem Blute an die Hörner des Altars des wohlriechenden äucherwerks, der im Zelte der Zusammenkunft ist, vor Jehova; und alles Blut des Farren soll er an den Fuß des Brandopferaltars gießen, der an dem Eingang des Zeltes der Zusammenkunft ist.

8 Und alles Fett von dem Farren des Sündopfers soll er von ihm abheben: das Fett, welches das Eingeweide bedeckt, und alles Fett, das am Eingeweide ist,

9 und die beiden Nieren und das Fett, das an ihnen, das an den Lenden ist, und das Netz über der Leber: samt den Nieren soll er es abtrennen,

10 so wie es abgehoben wird von dem inde des Friedensopfers; und der Priester soll es auf dem Brandopferaltar räuchern.

11 Und die Haut des Farren und all sein Fleisch samt seinem Kopfe und seinen Schenkeln und seinem Eingeweide und seinem Mist:

12 den ganzen Farren soll er (O. man) hinausbringen außerhalb des Lagers an einen reinen Ort, nach dem Schutthaufen der Fettasche, und soll ihn auf Holzscheiten mit Feuer verbrennen; auf dem Schutthaufen der Fettasche soll er verbrannt werden.

13 Und wenn die ganze Gemeinde Israel aus Versehen sündigt und die Sache ist verborgen vor den Augen der Versammlung, und sie tun eines von allen Verboten Jehovas, die nicht getan werden sollen, und verschulden sich,

14 und die Sünde wird bekannt, (Eig. wird die Sünde bekannt) die sie wider dasselbe begangen haben, so soll die Versammlung einen jungen Farren darbringen zum Sündopfer und ihn vor das Zelt der Zusammenkunft bringen.

15 Und die Ältesten der Gemeinde sollen ihre Hände auf den Kopf des Farren legen vor Jehova, und man soll den Farren vor Jehova schlachten.

16 Und der gesalbte Priester bringe von dem Blute des Farren in das Zelt der Zusammenkunft,

17 und der Priester tauche seinen Finger in das Blut und sprenge siebenmal vor Jehova gegen den Vorhang hin.

18 Und er tue von dem Blute an die Hörner des Altars, der vor Jehova, der im Zelte der Zusammenkunft ist; und alles Blut soll er an den Fuß des Brandopferaltars gießen, der an dem Eingang des Zeltes der Zusammenkunft ist.

19 Und all sein Fett soll er von ihm abheben und auf dem Altar räuchern.

20 Und er soll mit dem Farren tun, wie er mit dem Farren des Sündopfers getan hat; also soll er damit tun. Und so tue der Priester Sühnung für sie, und es wird ihnen vergeben werden.

21 Und er (O. man) soll den Farren hinausbringen außerhalb des Lagers und ihn verbrennen, so wie er (O. man) den ersten Farren verbrannt hat: es ist ein Sündopfer der Versammlung.

22 Wenn ein Fürst sündigt und tut aus Versehen eines von allen den Verboten Jehovas, seines Gottes, die nicht getan werden sollen, und verschuldet sich,

23 und seine Sünde wird ihm kundgetan, (Eig. ist ihm seine Sünde kundgetan worden) worin er gesündigt hat, so soll er seine Opfergabe bringen, einen Ziegenbock, ein Männlein ohne Fehl.

24 Und er soll seine Hand auf den Kopf des Bockes legen und ihn schlachten an dem Orte, wo man das Brandopfer vor Jehova schlachtet: es ist ein Sündopfer.

25 Und der Priester nehme von dem Blute des Sündopfers mit seinem Finger und tue es an die Hörner des Brandopferaltars; und sein Blut soll er an den Fuß des Brandopferaltars gießen.

26 Und all sein Fett soll er auf dem Altar räuchern, wie das Fett des Friedensopfers. Und so tue der Priester Sühnung für ihn wegen seiner Sünde, und es wird ihm vergeben werden.

27 Und wenn jemand vom Volke des Landes (d. i. vom gemeinen Volke) aus Versehen sündigt, indem er eines von den Verboten Jehovas tut, die nicht getan werden sollen, und sich verschuldet

28 und seine Sünde wird ihm kundgetan, (Eig. ist ihm seine Sünde kundgetan worden) die er begangen hat, so soll er seine Opfergabe bringen, eine Ziege ohne Fehl, ein Weiblein, für seine Sünde, die er begangen hat.

29 Und er soll seine Hand auf den Kopf des Sündopfers legen und das Sündopfer schlachten an dem Orte des Brandopfers.

30 Und der Priester nehme von seinem Blute mit seinem Finger und tue es an die Hörner des Brandopferaltars; und all sein Blut soll er an den Fuß des Altars gießen.

31 Und all sein Fett soll er abtrennen, so wie das Fett von dem Friedensopfer abgetrennt wird; und der Priester soll es auf dem Altar räuchern zum lieblichen Geruch dem Jehova. Und so tue der Priester Sühnung für ihn, und es wird ihm vergeben werden. -

32 Und wenn er ein Schaf bringt als seine Opfergabe zum Sündopfer, so soll es ein Weiblein ohne Fehl sein, das er bringt.

33 Und er soll seine Hand auf den Kopf des Sündopfers legen und es zum Sündopfer schlachten an dem Orte, wo man das Brandopfer schlachtet.

34 Und der Priester nehme von dem Blute des Sündopfers mit seinem Finger und tue es an die Hörner des Brandopferaltars; und all sein Blut soll er an den Fuß des Altars gießen.

35 Und all sein Fett soll er abtrennen, so wie das Fett des Schafes von dem Friedensopfer abgetrennt wird; und der Priester soll es auf (O. bei, mit; so auch Kap. 5,12) dem Altar räuchern, auf den Feueropfern Jehovas. Und so tue der Priester Sühnung für ihn wegen seiner Sünde, die er begangen hat, und es wird ihm vergeben werden.

10133. 'A continual [offering]' means within all Divine worship. This is clear from the meaning of 'continual', when it refers to such things as belong to Divine worship, as all and within all. For the subject is purification from evils and falsities by means of the good of innocence, this good being meant by 'lambs' and purification from evils and consequent falsities by a burnt offering of them. This is called 'continual' because it must be present in all Divine worship. Therefore also the offering was presented twice each day, in the morning and in the evening; and offerings made morning and evening served in general to represent all worship and what must be present within all worship. The good of innocence must be in all good, and consequently in all truth, if they are to be goodness and truth that have life from the Divine within them, and so it must be within all worship. For all worship, to be worship, must spring from the good of love and from the truths of faith.

All of the Church's and of heaven's good has innocence within it, and without that innocence good is not good, nor therefore is worship worship, see 2736, 2780, 6013, 7840, 7887, 9262.

What innocence is, 3994, 4001, 4797, 5236, 6107, 6765, 7902, 9262, 9936, and the places referred to in 10021 (end).

[2] 'Continual' means all and within all - that is to say, the all of worship, and within all worship - because it is a term that has a temporal connotation and in heaven, where the Word is understood not in the natural but in the spiritual sense, people have no notions of time. Instead of periods of time they perceive the kinds of things that are states. By 'continual' at this point therefore they perceive a perpetual state within worship, thus the all of worship and within all worship. The same applies to all other terms in the Word which have temporal connotations, such as yesterday, today, tomorrow, two days, three days, daily, a week, a month, a year, also times of day and seasons of the year - morning, midday, evening, night, spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Therefore if the spiritual sense of the Word is to be understood, any idea of a period of time acquired from its natural sense, any idea of a place as well, indeed any idea of an actual person must be set aside, and states of things must be conceived of instead. From this it may be seen how perfect the Word is in its internal sense, and so how perfect is the perception of it by the angels in heaven, consequently how much more excellent angels' wisdom and understanding are than the understanding and wisdom of people in the world, who think with solely natural vision focused on the completely finite things of this world and planet. Regarding periods of time in heaven, that they are states, see 1274, 1382, 2625, 2788, 2837, 3254, 3356, 3404, 3827, 4814, 4882, 4901, 4916, 6110, 7218, 7381, 8070; and regarding what states are, 4850.

[3] From all this it is evident what the continual burnt offering of lambs means, and so what 'continual' and 'continually' mean elsewhere, as in the commands that 'the fire shall burn continually on the altar', Leviticus 6:13, and that 'the continual bread shall be on the table', Numbers 4:7. 'The fire' there and 'the bread' mean the good of love received from the Lord and offered back to Him. For 'the fire', that it has this meaning, see 4906, 5215, 6314, 6832, 6834, 6849, 7324, 7852, 10055; and also for 'the bread', 2165, 2177, 3478, 3735, 3813, 4211, 4217, 4735, 4976, 9323, 9545. In those places as well 'continual' means in addition that this good must be present in all worship; and the fact that the same good is the source from which the truth of faith must shine, as if from its fire, is meant by the decree that they were to cause a lamp to go up 1 continually, Exodus 27:20, 'a lamp' being the truth and good of faith, see 9548, 9783.

3862. In 3858 above it was shown that 'the twelve tribes' meant all things forming part of truth and good, or of faith and love. In this present paragraph, now that the sons of Jacob individually after whom the tribes were named are the subject, a second arcanum is to be brought to light, namely the meaning which each son carries. In heaven all celestial and spiritual warmth, or love and charity, is in its external form felt as the glow from the sun, and in heaven all celestial and spiritual light, or faith, is in its external form seen as the light from the sun. Also that celestial and spiritual warmth holds wisdom within itself, and the light from that source holds intelligence, and they do so because they flow from the Lord, who is the Sun of heaven, see 1053, 1521-1533, 1619-1632, 2441, 2495, 2776, 3138, 3167, 3190, 3195, 3222, 3223, 3338, 3339, 3341, 3413, 3485, 3636, 3643.

These paragraphs show that all good is a product of the warmth which flows from the Lord as the Sun, and that all truth is a product of the light from that source. They also show that all affections which go with love or good are variations of that celestial and spiritual warmth flowing from the Lord, and that this is the origin of changes of state. They show too that all thoughts which go with truth or faith are variations of that celestial and spiritual light which flows from the Lord, and that this is the origin of intelligence. All angels in heaven are bathed in that warmth and light. Their affections and thoughts have no other source, nor are they anything else. This is evident from the different forms of communication employed by the angels, in that because those forms of communication have their origin in heavenly warmth and light, they consist of variations and modifications of heavenly light containing heavenly warmth, and are therefore indescribable and so varying and complete as to be quite beyond one's comprehension, 3342, 3344, 3345.

[2] So that these things might be manifested in a representative way in the world names were given to each of the sons of Jacob which meant the universal divisions of good and truth, or of love and faith, and so the universal manifestations of variation in celestial and spiritual warmth and of variation in light from that source. What determines the intensity of the flame and the brightness from it is the actual order of those universal manifestations. When love comes first in such order, everything which follows within genuine order from that love is flaming, but when faith comes first everything which follows within genuine order is full of light, yet with all the differences that the things which follow entail. If however they do not follow according to genuine order everything is obscure, and in ever differing ways. But this order and resulting differences will in the Lord's Divine mercy be discussed later on. This then is how the Lord gave answers by means of the Urim and Thummim and how according to the state of the actual thing in question they received answers by means of lights and their flashes from the precious and transparent stones on which the names of the twelve tribes had been inscribed. For as has been stated, inscribed on the names were the universal divisions of love and faith which exist in the Lord's kingdom and so the universal manifestations of flame and light by which those divisions of love and faith are represented in heaven.

[3] First therefore let evidence from the Word be presented to confirm that the order of the names in which the tribes are mentioned varies in the Word, and that each variation of their order is determined by the particular state of the subject under discussion there. And from such evidence one may see that the answers from the Lord given by means of the Urim and Thummim were radiations of light determined by the particular states of the thing - such variations being due to the order of all that was involved. For the entire light of heaven is made to vary by the different states which that thing passes through, and those states are made to vary by the order in which good and truth come. But which aspect of truth or good is meant by each name will be evident from the explanation that is being given. That is to say, Reuben means faith from the Lord; Simeon faith possessed by the will which is received from the Lord; Levi spiritual love, which is charity; Judah the Divinity of love, and the Lord's heavenly kingdom. What the other eight mean will be stated in the next chapter. Described here is the order in which they were born, which was as follows: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph, Benjamin - see verses 32-35 of the present chapter, and then Genesis 30:6, 8, 11, 13, 18, 20, 24; 35:18. This order is determined by the state of the subject that is being dealt with at this point, which is that of the regeneration of man, for this starts with the truth of faith, meant by 'Reuben', progresses from this towards the willing of truth, meant by 'Simeon', and from this to charity, meant by 'Levi', and so on to the Lord, who is meant in the highest sense by 'Judah'. The progression of spiritual conception and birth, or regeneration, from what is external to what is internal has been stated immediately above in 3860; that is, the progression is from the truth of faith to the good of love.

[4] Before Jacob came to Isaac his father in Mamre, or Kiriath Arba, his sons are mentioned in Genesis 35:23-26 in the following order: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph, Benjamin, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher. In this case those by Leah and Rachel come first, and those by the servant-girls last, this being determined by the state of the subject dealt with at that point. They are listed in yet another order when they travelled and came into Egypt, in Genesis 46:9-19; in another when before his death they were blessed by Jacob, who by then was Israel, in Genesis 49:3-27; and in another again when blessed by Moses, in Deuteronomy 33:6-24. And when they encamped around the Tent of Meeting they did so in the following order: To the east Judah, Issachar, Zebulun; to the south Reuben, Simeon, Gad; to the west Ephraim, Manasseh, Benjamin; to the north Dan, Asher, Naphtali, Numbers 2:1-end. In what order they stood on Mount Gerizim to bless the people, or on Mount Ebal to curse them, see Deuteronomy 27:12-13. When the princes chosen from each tribe were sent to spy out the land they are listed in Numbers 13:4-16 in the following order: Reuben, Simeon, Judah, Issachar, Ephraim, Benjamin, Zebulun, Joseph or Manasseh, Dan, Asher, Naphtali, Gad. But there is a different order to the princes who were to divide the land for inheritance, Numbers 34:19-29. In what order the lot fell when it was cast, at the time that the land was divided for inheritance, see Chapters 13 - 19 of Joshua.

[5] When the boundaries of the new or holy land which the tribes were to inherit are referred to in Ezekiel the tribes are mentioned in the following order: Dan, Asher, Naphtali, Manasseh, Ephraim, Reuben, Judah, Benjamin, Simeon, Issachar, Zebulun, Gad. All are described from the corner pointing east to the corner pointing to the sea or west, except Gad which was situated at the south corner pointing towards the south, Ezekiel 48:1-7, 23-26. And where the gates of the new or holy city are referred to they are mentioned in the following order: Facing north the three gates of Reuben, Judah, and Levi; facing east the three gates of Joseph, Benjamin, and Dan; facing south the three gates of Simeon, Issachar, and Zebulun; facing west the three gates of Gad, Asher, and Naphtali, Ezekiel 48:31-34. For the order of those sealed, twelve thousand from each tribe, see Revelation 7:5-8. In all these places the listing of the tribes depends completely on the state of the subject dealt with, to which the order corresponds. That particular state is evident from what comes before and after.

[6] The order of the precious stones in the Urim and Thummim is mentioned and described in the Word, but which tribes individual stones corresponded to is not mentioned. For those stones represented all things belonging to the light shed by heavenly flame, that is, all aspects of truth originating in good, or of faith originating in charity. And because they represented these things heavenly light itself shone through them in a miraculous way in accordance with the state of the subject concerning which a question was asked and an answer was given. Flashing and bright light stood for a positive answer concerning good and truth, which light was accompanied by variations of the stones' colours according with the differences of the state of good and truth, as in heaven where all celestial and spiritual things are expressed by means of lights and their differences, and in a way beyond description and completely incomprehensible to man. For as has been shown frequently, heavenly light includes life from the Lord, and so includes wisdom and intelligence. Consequently the differences in light include everything that constitutes the life, that is, everything that constitutes wisdom and intelligence, while the differences in flaming, flashing, and shining include everything that constitutes the life of good and the life of truth received from good, that is, of love to the Lord and of faith derived from that love. Such then were the Urim and Thummim which were on the breastplate of the ephod and were over Aaron's heart. The nature of them is also evident from the fact that the terms Urim and Thummim mean lights and perfections, and that the breastplate in which they were set is called the breastplate of judgement, because judgement consists in intelligence and wisdom, 2235. The reason it was worn over Aaron's heart was that 'the heart' means Divine love, see 3635 and the section at the end of the present chapter. For this reason also those precious stones were placed in settings of gold, for 'gold' in the internal sense means good which is an attribute of love, 113, 1551, 1552, and 'precious stone' truth which shines through from good, 114.

[7] The Urim and Thummim are spoken of in Moses as follows,

You shall make the breastplate of judgement, the work of designing, like the work of the ephod you shall make it; out of gold, violet, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, and of fine-twined linen you shall make it. It shall be square when doubled. And you shall set within it stone-settings, four rows of stones shall there be. There shall be sockets of gold in their settings. And the stones shall be according to the names of the sons of Israel, twelve according to their names. The engravings of a signet, each one according to its name, there shall be for the twelve tribes. Exodus 28:15-21; 39:8-14.

Which stones had to be set in each row is also specified in those chapters. And further,

The breastplate shall not come away from the ephod. And Aaron shall bear the names of the sons of Israel on the breastplate of judgement over his heart when he goes into the holy place, for a remembrance before Jehovah continually. And you shall put into the breastplate of judgement the Urim and Thummim, and they shall be over Aaron's heart when he goes in before Jehovah. And Aaron shall bear the judgement of the sons of Israel over his heart before Jehovah continually. Exodus 28:28-30; Leviticus 8:7-8.

The fact that Jehovah or the Lord was inquired of and gave answers by means of the Urim is seen in Moses,

Jehovah said to Moses, Take Joshua the son of Nun. You shall place some of your glory on him, so that all the congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient. He shall stand before Eleazar the priest, and he shall inquire for him in the judgement of the Urim before Jehovah. Numbers 27:18, 20-21.

And in Samuel,

Saul inquired of Jehovah, but Jehovah did not answer him by dreams, or by the Urim, or by prophets. 1 Samuel 28:6.
