1 Und wenn jemand sündigt, daß er die Stimme des Fluches (O. der Beschwörung; vergl. Spür. 29,24) hört, und er war Zeuge, sei es daß er es gesehen oder gewußt hat, -wenn er es nicht anzeigt, so soll er seine Ungerechtigkeit tragen;

2 oder wenn jemand irgend etwas Unreines anrührt, sei es das Aas eines unreinen wilden Tieres, oder das Aas eines unreinen Viehes, oder das Aas eines unreinen kriechenden Tieres (W. unreinen Gewimmels, wie 1. Mose 1,20,) -ist es ihm auch verborgen, so ist er unrein und schuldig;

3 oder wenn er die Unreinigkeit eines Menschen anrührt, was für eine Unreinigkeit von ihm es auch sei, durch welche er unrein wird, und es ist ihm verborgen, -erkennt er es, so ist er schuldig;

4 oder wenn jemand schwört, indem er unbesonnen mit den Lippen redet, Böses oder Gutes zu tun, nach allem was ein Mensch mit einem Schwur unbesonnen reden mag, und es ist ihm verborgen, -erkennt er es, so ist er schuldig in einem von diesen.

5 Und es soll geschehen, wenn er sich in einem von diesen verschuldet, so bekenne er, worin er gesündigt hat;

6 und er bringe sein Schuldopfer dem Jehova für seine Sünde, die er begangen hat: ein Weiblein vom Kleinvieh, ein Schaf oder eine Ziege zum Sündopfer; und der Priester soll Sühnung für ihn tun wegen seiner Sünde.

7 Und wenn seine Hand das zu einem Stück Kleinvieh Hinreichende nicht aufbringen kann, so soll er für (W. als) seine Schuld, die er auf sich geladen hat, zwei Turteltauben oder zwei junge Tauben dem Jehova bringen: eine zum Sündopfer und eine zum Brandopfer.

8 Und er soll sie zu dem Priester bringen; und dieser bringe die zum Sündopfer bestimmte zuerst dar und kneipe ihr den Kopf ein dicht beim Genick; er soll ihn aber nicht abtrennen.

9 Und er sprenge von dem Blute des Sündopfers an die Wand des Altars, und das Übrige von dem Blute soll ausgedrückt werden an den Fuß des Altars: es ist ein Sündopfer.

10 Und die andere soll er als Brandopfer opfern nach der Vorschrift. Und so tue der Priester Sühnung für ihn wegen seiner Sünde, die er begangen hat, und es wird ihm vergeben werden.

11 Und wenn seine Hand zwei Turteltauben oder zwei junge Tauben nicht aufbringen kann, so bringe der, welcher gesündigt hat, als seine Opfergabe ein Zehntel Epha Feinmehl zum Sündopfer; er soll kein Öl darauf tun und keinen Weihrauch darauf legen, denn es ist ein Sündopfer.

12 Und er soll es zu dem Priester bringen; und der Priester nehme davon seine Hand voll, das Gedächtnisteil desselben, und räuchere es auf dem Altar, auf den Feueropfern Jehovas: es ist ein Sündopfer.

13 Und so tue der Priester Sühnung für ihn wegen seiner Sünde, die er begangen hat in einem von diesen, und es wird ihm vergeben werden; und es soll dem Priester gehören wie das Speisopfer.

14 Und Jehova redete zu Mose und sprach:

15 Wenn jemand Untreue begeht und aus Versehen an den heiligen Dingen Jehovas sündigt, so soll er sein Schuldopfer dem Jehova bringen, einen Widder ohne Fehl vom Kleinvieh, nach deiner Schätzung an Sekeln Silber, nach dem Sekel des Heiligtums, zum Schuldopfer.

16 Und was er an dem Heiligen (Eig. von den heiligen (od. geheiligten, geweihten) Dingen weg, d. h. was er von den heiligen Dingen weggenommen hat) gesündigt hat, soll er erstatten und dessen Fünftel darüber hinzufügen und es dem Priester geben; und der Priester soll Sühnung für ihn tun mit dem Widder des Schuldopfers, und es wird ihm vergeben werden.

17 Und wenn jemand sündigt und eines von allen den Verboten Jehovas tut, die nicht getan werden sollen, -hat er es auch nicht gewußt, so ist er schuldig und soll seine Ungerechtigkeit tragen.

18 Und er soll einen Widder ohne Fehl vom Kleinvieh nach deiner Schätzung zu dem Priester bringen, zum Schuldopfer; und der Priester soll Sühnung für ihn tun wegen seines Versehens, das er begangen hat, ohne es zu wissen; und es wird ihm vergeben werden.

19 Es ist ein Schuldopfer; er hat sich gewißlich an Jehova verschuldet. Und Jehova redete zu Mose und sprach: Wenn jemand sündigt und Untreue wider Jehova begeht, daß er seinem Nächsten ein anvertrautes Gut ableugnet oder ein Darlehn oder etwas Geraubtes; oder er hat von seinem Nächsten etwas erpreßt, oder er hat Verlorenes gefunden, und leugnet es ab; und er schwört falsch über irgend etwas von allem, was ein Mensch tun mag, sich darin zu versündigen: so soll es geschehen, wenn er gesündigt und sich verschuldet hat, daß er zurückerstatte das Geraubte, das er geraubt, oder das Erpreßte, das er erpreßt hat, oder das Anvertraute, das ihm anvertraut worden ist, oder das Verlorene, das er gefunden hat, oder alles, worüber er falsch geschworen hat; und er soll es erstatten nach seiner vollen Summe und dessen Fünftel darüber hinzufügen; wem es gehört, dem soll er es geben am Tage seines Schuldopfers. Und sein Schuldopfer soll er Jehova bringen, einen Widder ohne Fehl vom Kleinvieh, nach deiner Schätzung, zum Schuldopfer, zu dem Priester; und der Priester soll Sühnung für ihn tun vor Jehova, und es wird ihm vergeben werden wegen irgend etwas von allem, was er getan hat, sich darin zu verschulden.

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.

5247. 'And he clipped [his hair and beard]' means a casting aside and the change made so far as the coverings of the exterior natural were concerned. This is clear from the meaning of 'clipping' - that is, clipping the head and beard - as casting aside the coverings of the exterior natural. For 'hair' which was clipped means the exterior natural, see 3301. Also, both hair on the head and that composing the beard correspond in the Grand Man to the exterior natural. This explains why in the light of heaven sensory-minded people - that is, those who have had no belief in anything apart from that which is natural, and have had no desire to understand how anything more internal or purer can exist apart from that which they can perceive with their senses - have a hairy appearance in the next life. They look so hairy that their faces are scarcely anything else than hairy beards. I have seen faces covered with hair like these on many occasions. But rationally-minded people, that is, spiritually-minded ones, with whom the natural has played a correctly subordinate role, are seen with tidy hair. Indeed from the state of people's hair in the next life one can tell what the natural with them is like. The reason spirits appear with hair on their heads is that in the next life spirits look exactly like people on earth. This too is why the Word sometimes includes a description of the hair of the angels people have seen.

[2] From all this one may now see what is meant by 'clipping', as in Ezekiel,

The priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, shall put off their garments in which they have been ministering and lay them in the holy chambers, and they shall put on other garments, and they shall not sanctify the people in their own garments. And they shall not shave their head and shall not let their hair grow long; they shall surely clip their heads. Ezekiel 44:15, 19-20.

This refers to a new Temple and a new priesthood, that is, to a new Church. 'Putting on other garments' means holy truths; 'not shaving their head, and not letting their hair grow long, but surely clipping their heads' means not casting aside the natural but taking measures to make it conformable, and so to make it subordinate. Anyone who believes that the Word is indeed holy can see that these and all the other details mentioned by the prophet which describe a new land, a new city, and a new Temple and priesthood must not be taken literally. The statement, for example, that the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, will minister there, at which time they will put off their ministerial garments and put on new ones, and will also clip their heads, is not meant literally; rather, each and all the details given by the prophet have as their meaning such things as are aspects of a new Church.

[3] The following rules were laid down for the high priest, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, in Moses,

The priest who is chief among his brothers, on whose head the anointing oil has been poured and who has been consecrated 1 to wear the garments, shall not shave his head or rend his garments. Leviticus 21:10.

The sons of Aaron shall not introduce any baldness on their head or shave the corner of their beard. They shall be holy to their God, and they shall not profane the name of their God. Leviticus 21:5-6.

You shall purify the Levites like this: Sprinkle over them the water of expiation, and they shall pass a razor over their flesh and wash their garments, and they shall be pure. Numbers 8:7.

These rules would never have been given unless they had held holy ideas within them. Can there be anything holy or anything of the Church in the actual rule forbidding the high priest to shave his head or rend his garments, or in the actual rule forbidding the sons of Levi to introduce any baldness on their head or shave the corner of their beard, or in that commanding the Levites to shave their flesh with a razor when they underwent purification? Rather, the possession of an external or natural man made subordinate to the internal or spiritual man, both of which have thereby been made subordinate to the Divine, is the holy idea within those rules; and it is also what angels perceive when man reads about them in the Word.

[4] The same goes for what is said about a Nazirite who was holy to Jehovah. If someone next to him happened to die suddenly and so defile his consecrated head, the Nazirite was required to clip his head on the day of his cleansing; on the seventh day he had to clip it. On the day that the days of his Naziriteship were completed he had to clip his consecrated head at the door of the Tent of Meeting and to take the hair from his head and put it on the fire which was under the sacrifice of peace offerings, Numbers 6:8, 9, 13, 18. For the meaning of a Nazirite and what aspect of holiness he represented, see 3301. No one can possibly understand why anything holy existed within the Nazirite's hair unless he knows from correspondence what is meant by 'the hair' and from this what aspect of holiness a Nazirite's hair corresponded to. Nor can anyone likewise understand how the source of Samson's strength lay in his hair, which he told Delilah about in the following description,

No razor has come upon my head, for I have been a Nazirite of God from my mother's womb. If I am shaved, my strength will depart from me, and I shall become weak and be like anyone else. And Delilah called a man who shaved off the seven locks of his hair; and his strength departed from him. After that, when the hair on his head began to grow, even as it had been shaved off, his strength returned to him. Judges 16:17, 19, 22.

Without any knowledge of correspondence who can see that the Lord's Divine Natural was represented by 'a Nazirite', or that 'Naziriteship' had no other meaning than this, or that Samson's strength was due to that representation?

[5] Anyone who does not know, and more so one who does not believe that the Word has an internal sense, and that the sense of the letter serves to represent the real things contained in the internal sense, will recognize scarcely anything holy at all in these matters, when in fact the greatest holiness lies within them. Anyone who does not know, and more so one who does not believe that the Word has an internal sense that is intrinsically holy cannot know what the following texts enfold within them: In Jeremiah,

Truth has perished and has been cut off from their mouth. Cut off the hair of your Naziriteship and throw it away. Jeremiah 7:28-29.

In Isaiah,

On that day the Lord will shave by means of a razor hired at the crossing-places of the River - by means of the king of Asshur - the head and the hair of the feet; and it will consume the beard also. Isaiah 7:20.

In Micah,

Make yourself bald, and shave your head for the children of your delight; extend your baldness like an eagle, for they have departed from you. Micah 1:16.

Nor will anyone know the aspect of holiness contained in the reference to Elijah's being a man covered with hair, who wore a skin girdle around his loins, 2 Kings 1:8. Nor will he know why the children who called Elisha baldhead were torn apart by the bears out of the forest, 2 Kings 2:23-24.

[6] Both Elijah and Elisha represented the Lord as to the Word, and so represented the Word itself, specifically the prophetical part, see Preface to Genesis 18, and 2762. Being covered with hair and having a skin girdle meant the literal sense, 'a man covered with hair' meaning that sense so far as truths were concerned, 'wearing a skin girdle around his loins' so far as forms of good were concerned. For the literal sense is the natural sense of the Word since it employs ideas formed from things that exist in the world, whereas the internal sense is the spiritual sense because it employs ideas formed from things existing in heaven. These two senses are related to each other in the way that the internal and the external are related in the human being. But because the internal can have no existence without the external, the external being the last and lowest degree of order within which the internal is held in being, the calling of Elisha 'baldhead' therefore meant the shameful accusation made against the Word that it lacked so to speak an external and so lacked a sense suited to man's capacity to understand it.

[7] From all this one may see that every particular detail in the Word is holy. However, this holiness within the Word is discerned by no one unless he is acquainted with the internal sense; yet an inkling of it flows from heaven into someone who believes that the Word is holy. The internal sense known to the angels is the channel through which that influx comes; and even if the person has no understanding of that sense it nevertheless stimulates an affection in him, because the affection felt by the angels who know that sense is communicated to him. From this it is also evident that the Word was given to man so that he might have a means of communication with heaven and so that by flowing into him Divine Truth in heaven might stimulate affection in him.
