1 Ez az, a mit õ velök cselekedjél, az õ felszentelésökre, hogy az én papjaim legyenek: Végy egy tulkot, fiatal marhát, és hiba nélkül való két kost.

2 És kovásztalan kenyeret, és olajjal elegyített kovásztalan kalácsokat, meg olajjal kent kovásztalan lepényeket is; búzalisztlángból készítsd azokat.

3 És tedd azokat egy kosárba, és vidd fel azokat a kosárban, a tulokkal és a két kossal együtt.

4 Áront pedig és az õ fiait állítsd a gyülekezet sátorának ajtaja elé, és mosd meg õket vízzel.

5 És vedd a ruhákat, és öltöztesd fel Áront a köntösbe, az efódhoz való palástba, és az efódba, meg a hósenbe és övezd fel õt az efód övével.

6 Tedd a süveget is fejére, és a szent koronát tedd a süvegre.

7 És vedd a kenetnek olaját, és töltsd az õ fejére, így kend fel õt.

8 Fiait is állítsd elõ, és öltöztesd fel õket [a] köntösökbe.

9 És övezd körûl õket övvel, Áront és az õ fiait, és tégy a fejökre süvegeket is, hogy övék legyen a papság örök rendelés szerint. Így iktasd be tisztökbe Áront és fiait.

10 Azután állíttasd a tulkot a gyülekezet sátora elé, és Áron és az õ fiai tegyék kezeiket a tulok fejére.

11 És vágd le a tulkot az Úr elõtt a gyülekezet sátorának ajtajánál.

12 Azután végy a tulok vérébõl, és hintsd azt ujjaiddal az oltár szarvaira; a [többi] vért pedig töltsd mind az oltár aljára.

13 És vedd a kövérébõl mindazt, a mi a belet fedi, és a májon lévõ hártyát, és a két vesét a rajtok lévõ kövérrel együtt, és füstölögtesd el az oltáron.

14 A tulok húsát, bõrét és ganéját pedig égesd el a táboron kívül: bûnért való áldozat az.

15 Vedd az egyik kost is, és Áron és az õ fiai tegyék kezeiket a kos fejére.

16 Azután vágd le a kost, és vedd annak vérét, és hintsd azt az oltárra köröskörûl.

17 A kost pedig vagdald tagjaira, és mosd meg a belét és lábszárait, és tedd rá tagjaira és fejére.

18 Azután füstölögtesd el az egész kost az oltáron: égõáldozat az az Úrnak, kedves illatú tûzáldozat az Úrnak.

19 Vedd a másik kost is, és Áron és az õ fiai tegyék kezeiket a kos fejére.

20 Azután vágd le a kost, és végy annak vérébõl, és hintsd meg azzal Áron füle czimpáját és az õ fiai jobb fülének czimpáját, és az õ jobb kezök hüvelykét és jobb lábok hüvelykét; a [többi] vért pedig hintsd az oltárra köröskörül.

21 Azután végy a vérbõl, mely az oltáron van, és a kenetnek olajából, és hintsd Áronra és az õ ruháira, s vele együtt az õ fiaira és az õ fiainak ruháira, hogy szent legyen õ és az õ ruhái, s vele együtt az õ fiai és az õ fiainak ruhái.

22 Azután vedd a kosból a kövérét, a farkát s a belet borító kövéret, meg a máj hártyáját, meg a két veséjét a rajtok levõ kövérével, és a jobb lapoczkát; mert felavatási kos ez.

23 Meg egy kenyeret és egy olajos kalácsot és egy lepényt a kovásztalan kenyérnek kosarából, mely az Úr elõtt van;

24 És rakd mindezeket az Áron kezeire és az Áron fiainak kezeire, és lóbáltasd meg azokat az Úr elõtt.

25 Azután vedd le azokat kezükrõl, és füstölögtesd el az oltáron az égõáldozat felett kedves illatul az Úr elõtt; az Úrnak tûzáldozata az.

26 Vedd az Áron felavatási kosának szegyét is, és lóbbáld meg azt az Úr elõtt; azután legyen az a te részed.

27 Így szenteld meg a meglóbbált szegyet és a felemelt lapoczkát, a melyet meglóbbáltak és a melyet felemeltek, Áronnak és az õ fiainak felavatási kosából.

28 És legyen ez Áronnak és az õ fiainak része örökké az Izráel fiaitól: mert felmutatott adomány ez, és felmutatott adomány legyen Izráel fiai részérõl az õ hálaáldozataikból; az Úrnak felmutatott adomány.

29 A szent öltözetek pedig, a melyek az Áronéi, legyenek õ utána az õ fiaié, hogy azokban kenettessenek fel, és azokban állíttassanak tisztökbe.

30 Hét napon öltözzék azokba, a ki az õ fiai közül õ utána pap lesz, a ki bemenendõ lesz a gyülekezet sátorába, hogy a szent helyen szolgáljon.

31 A felavatási kost pedig vedd, és fõzd meg annak húsát szent helyen.

32 És a kosnak húsát és a kenyeret, mely a kosárban van, a gyülekezet sátorának ajtajánál egye meg Áron és az õ fiai.

33 Õk egyék meg azokat, a mik által az engesztelés történt, hogy tisztökbe állíttassanak és felszenteltessenek. De idegen ne egyék [azokból], mert szentek azok.

34 Ha pedig valami megmarad az avatási húsból vagy a kenyérbõl reggelig, tûzzel égesd meg a maradékot; meg ne egyék, mert szent az.

35 Áronnal tehát és az õ fiaival akképen cselekedjél, a mint megparancsoltam néked; hét napon át állítsd õket tisztökbe.

36 És naponként készíts bûnáldozati tulkot engesztelésül, és tisztítsd meg az oltárt, mikor engesztelõ áldozatot végzesz rajta, és kend meg azt, hogy megszenteltessék.

37 Hét napon tégy engesztelõ áldozatot az oltáron; és szenteld meg azt, hogy felette igen szentséges legyen az oltár. Valami illeti az oltárt, szent legyen.

38 Ez pedig az, a mit áldoznod kell az oltáron: Esztendõs két bárányt mindennap szüntelen.

39 Az egyik bárányt reggel áldozd meg, a másik bárányt pedig áldozd meg estennen.

40 És az egyik bárányhoz [végy] egy tized lisztlángot, egy negyed hin-nyi sajtolt olajjal vegyítve; italáldozatul pedig egy negyed hin-nyi bort.

41 A másik bárányt estennen áldozd meg, ugyanazzal az étel- és italáldozattal készítsd azt, mint reggel; kedves illatul, tûzáldozatul az Úrnak.

42 Szüntelen égõáldozat legyen az a ti nemzetségeitek között a gyülekezet sátorának ajtajánál az Úr elõtt, a hol megjelenek néktek, hogy veled ott szóljak.

43 Ott jelenek meg az Izráel fiainak, és megszenteltetik az én dicsõségem által.

44 És megszentelem a gyülekezetnek sátorát és az oltárt; Áront és az õ fiait is megszentelem, hogy papjaim legyenek.

45 És az Izráel fiai között lakozom, és nékik Istenök lészek.

46 És megtudják, hogy én, az Úr vagyok az õ Istenök, a ki kihoztam õket Égyiptom földérõl, hogy közöttök lakozhassam, én, az Úr az õ Istenök.

6832. 'In a flame of fire from the middle of a bramble bush' means God's love present in true factual knowledge. This is clear from the meaning of 'a flame of fire' as God's love, dealt with below; and from the meaning of 'a bramble bush' as true factual knowledge. The reason why 'a bramble bush' means true factual knowledge is that all shrubs of every kind mean factual knowledge, whereas actual plantations of trees, being larger, mean cognitions and perceptions. Because it produces flower and berries 'a bramble bush' means true factual knowledge. True factual knowledge that the Church possesses consists in nothing else than the Word as it exists in the sense of the letter and also every one of the Church's representative forms and meaningful signs that existed among the descendants of Jacob. These in the external form they take are called true factual knowledge; but in their internal form they are spiritual truths. But truths in their internal or spiritual form could not be made visible to those descended from Jacob, for the reason that they were interested solely in things of an external nature and had no wish whatever to know about anything internal. Therefore the Lord appeared in a bramble bush (when the Lord appears to people He does so in a way suited to the kind of people they are, for a person cannot receive the Divine in any way other than that which is a way suited to the kind of person he is); and therefore also, when the Lord appeared on Mount Sinai He appeared to the people' as a fire burning even to the heart of heaven, and as darkness, cloud, and pitch darkness', Deuteronomy 4:11; 5:22-25; also Exodus 19:18. He would have appeared in an altogether different way if the people below the mountain who beheld Him had not been the kind of people they were. And because those people were interested solely in things of an external nature, when Moses went in to the Lord on Mount Sinai, it is said that he went into the cloud, Exodus 20:21; 24:2, 18; 34:2-5, 'the cloud' being the external aspect of the Word, see Preface to Genesis 18, and 4060, 4391, 5922, 6343 (end), and also consequently representatives in the Church which are seen in outward form.

[2] The truth that the Lord appears to each individual person in a way suited to the kind of person he is may be recognized from the consideration that the Lord appears to those in the inmost or third heaven as the Sun from which light beyond description radiates, the reason being that those there are governed by the good of love to the Lord. He appears to those in the middle or second heaven as the Moon, the reason being that there they are governed by love to the Lord in a more remote and obscure way; for they are governed by love towards the neighbour. But the Lord does not appear to those in the lowest or first heaven either as the Sun or the Moon, only as Light, a light far more brilliant than light in the world. And since the Lord appears to each in a way suited to the kind of person he is, He cannot appear to those in hell as anything other than dark cloud and pitch darkness. For as soon as the light of heaven which comes from the Lord shines into any hell, darkness and thick darkness are produced there. From all this one may now recognize that the Lord appears to each individual person in a way suited to the kind of person he is, for this is suited to the way he receives the Lord. And since the descendants of Jacob were interested solely in things of an external nature, the Lord appeared to Moses in a bramble bush, and also in a cloud when Moses went in to the Lord on Mount Sinai.

[3] The reason why 'a flame' is God's love is that love in its earliest origin is nothing other than fire or flame from the Lord as the Sun. The fire or flame of this sun is what supplies each individual person with the being (esse) of his life; it is that life-giving fire which fills a person's interiors with warmth, as one may recognize from what happens with love. To the extent that love increases in a person he warms up; but to the extent that it diminishes he cools off. This explain s why, when the Lord appeared in a vision, He appeared as fire and flame, as in Ezekiel,

The appearance of the four living creatures (who were cherubs) was like burning coals of fire, like the appearance of lamps. It was moving between the living creatures as a bright fire, and out of the fire went forth lightning. Above the firmament that was over their heads, in appearance like a sapphire stone, there was the likeness of a throne, and over the likeness of a throne there was a likeness as the appearance of a man upon it, above. And I saw the shape of burning coals, as the shape of fire, within it round about, from the appearance of His loins and upwards. But from the appearance of His loins and downwards I saw as it were the appearance of fire, whose brightness was round about it. Ezekiel 1:13, 26-28.

[4] Nobody can deny that all the several details of this vision are signs that represent aspects of the Divine; but unless one knows what is meant by 'the cherubs', 'the burning coals of fire, like the appearance of lamps', 'a throne', 'the appearance of a man upon it', 'his loins from which fire emanated upwards and downwards, and the brightness radiating from the fire', one can have no knowledge of the real holiness hidden within all those several details. 'The cherubs' are the Lord's Providence, see 308; 'the throne' is heaven, or - to be exact - Divine Truth that emanates from the Lord to form heaven, 5313; 'the appearance of a man upon the throne above' is plainly the Lord's Divine Human; and 'loins' are conjugial love and all heavenly love that derives from it, 3021, 4277, 4280, 4575, 5050, 5062. This love was represented by 'the shape of burning coal, as the shape of fire, whose brightness was round about it'.

[5] In Daniel,

I saw, until thrones had been placed, and the Ancient of Days was seated. His clothing was white as snow, and the hair of His head like pure wool. His throne was a flame of fire; His wheels were burning fire. A river of five issued and came forth from before Him. Daniel 7:9-10.

The Divine Good of the Lord's Divine Love was seen in this vision too as a flame of fire. In John,

He who sat on the white horse, His eyes were like aflame of fire. Revelation 19:11-12.

'He who sat on the white horse' is the Lord in respect of the Word, as is explicitly stated in verses 13, 16, of that chapter. Thus 'the flame of fire' is Divine Truth contained in the Word, which radiates from the Lord's Divine Goodness. In the same book,

In the midst of the seven lampstands one like the Son of Man, clothed with a long robe. His head and hair were white, like white wool, like snow; but His eyes were like a flame of fire. Revelation 1:13-14.

Here also 'eyes like a flame of fire' is Divine Truth emanating from the Lord's Divine Goodness.

[6] The meaning of 'a flame of fire' as Divine Truth emanating from the Lord is also evident in David,

The voice of Jehovah falls like a flame of fire. Psalms 29:7.

'The voice of Jehovah' stands for Divine Truth. In order that Divine Truth emanating from the Lord's Divine Good might be represented, the people were commanded to make a lampstand of pure gold with seven lamps and to place it in the tent of meeting by the table where the loaves of the presence were, and to keep the lamps burning unceasingly before Jehovah, Exodus 25:31-end; 37:17-24; 40:24-25; Leviticus 24:4; Numbers 8:2; Zechariah 4:2. The lampstand with its seven lamps served to represent Divine Truth emanating from the Lord's Divine Good.

[7] In order also that Divine Good itself might be represented they were commanded to have perpetual fire on the altar,

Fire shall burn on the altar and not be put out; the priest shall kindle pieces of wood on it at every dawn. Fire shall burn unceasingly on the altar and not be put out. Leviticus 6:12-13.

The fact that the ancients were very well acquainted with the use of fire to represent Divine Love may be recognized from the spread of that representative from the Ancient Church even to nations far away whose worship was idolatrous and who, as is well known, established an everlasting sacred fire and placed in charge of it virgins, who were called the vestal virgins.

[8] In the contrary sense 'fire' and 'flame' mean filthy kinds of love, such as those of vengeance, cruelty, hatred, and adultery, and in general the cravings that spring from self-love and love of the world. This too is clear from very many places in the Word, of which let just the following be quoted: In Isaiah,

Behold, they have become as stubble, the fire has burned them; they do not save themselves from the power of the flame. 1 There will be no coal to be warmed by [nor] fire to sit in front of. Isaiah 47:14.

In Ezekiel,

Behold, I will kindle in you a five, which will devour in you every green tree and every dry tree. The blazing flame 2 will not be put out, and all faces from south to north will be scorched by it. Ezekiel 20:47.

Here 'fire' and 'flame' mean desires for what is evil and false which annihilate everything good and true in the Church, and thereby lay it waste.

[9] In Luke,

The rich man said to Abraham, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the end of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am tormented in this flame. Luke 16:24.

People who do not know that a person's vital heat has a different origin from that which is the source of elemental fire cannot possibly do anything else but think that by hell fire is meant fire like that found in the world. In the Word however this latter kind of fire is not meant but the fire of love, thus the fire of a person's life, emanating from the Lord as a Sun. And when this fire comes among those engrossed in pursuits contrary to it, it is turned into the fire of evil desires which, as stated above, belong to vengeance, hatred, and cruelty, and which well up from self-love and love of the world. This is the fire that torments those who are in hell, for when the restraint placed on their evil desires is relaxed, one sets upon another and they torment one another in dreadful and indescribable ways. For each has the wish for supremacy and wants to take from the other the things he has by hidden or open devices. When one or two have such desires hatreds consequently develop within the group, and these lead to the savage deeds that are performed, especially by the use of devices involving magic and the use of figments of the imagination, devices which are countless and totally unknown in the world.

[10] People who do not believe in the existence of spiritual things, especially those who worship nature, cannot at all be led to believe that the warmth present in living persons, which constitutes the actual life within them, has a different origin from that which is the source of worldly heat. For they are not even aware, let alone able to acknowledge, that there is a heavenly fire radiating from the Lord as a Sun, and that this Fire is pure love. Consequently they are unaware of countless instances in the Word in which no other kind of fire is meant; nor are they aware of countless manifestations of it in the human being, who is an organ made to receive that fire.
