1 Csinálj oltárt a füstölõ szerek füstölgésére is, sittim- fából csináld azt.

2 Egy sing hosszú, egy sing széles, négyszögû és két sing magas legyen, ugyanabból legyenek szarvai is.

3 És borítsd meg azt tiszta aranynyal, a tetejét és oldalait köröskörül, és szarvait is; arany pártázatot is csinálj hozzá köröskörül.

4 Csinálj hozzá két arany karikát is, pártázata alá a két oldalán, mindkét oldalára csináld, hogy legyenek rúdtartókul, hogy azokon hordozzák azt.

5 És a rúdakat csináld sittim-fából, és borítsd meg azokat aranynyal.

6 És tedd azt a függöny elé, a mely a bizonyság ládája mellett, a bizonyság fedele elõtt van, a hol megjelenek néked.

7 Áron pedig füstölögtessen rajta minden reggel jó illatú füstölõ szert; mikor a mécseket rendbe szedi, akkor füstölögtesse azt.

8 És a mikor Áron estennen felrakja a mécseket, füstölögtesse azt. Szüntelen való illattétel legyen ez az Úr elõtt nemzetségrõl nemzetségre.

9 Ne áldozzatok azon idegen füstölõszerekkel, se égõáldozattal, se ételáldozattal; italáldozatot se öntsetek reá.

10 És egyszer egy esztendõben engesztelést végezzen Áron annak szarvainál az engesztelõ napi áldozat vérébõl; egy esztendõben egyszer végezzen engesztelést azon, nemzetségrõl nemzetségre. Szentségek szentsége ez az Úrnak.

11 Azután szóla az Úr Mózesnek, mondván:

12 Mikor Izráel fiait fejenként számba veszed, adja meg kiki életének váltságát az Úrnak az õ megszámláltatásakor, hogy csapás ne legyen rajtok az õ megszámláltatásuk miatt.

13 Ezt adja mindaz, a ki átesik a számláláson: fél siklust a szent siklus szerint (egy siklus húsz gera); a siklusnak fele áldozat az Úrnak.

14 Mindaz, a ki átesik a számláláson, húsz esztendõstõl fogva felfelé, adja meg az áldozatot az Úrnak.

15 A gazdag ne adjon többet, és a szegény ne adjon kevesebbet fél siklusnál, a mikor megadják az áldozatot az Úrnak engesztelésül a ti lelketekért.

16 És szedd be az engesztelési pénzt az Izráel fiaitól, és add azt a gyülekezet sátorának szolgálatjára, hogy az Izráel fiainak emlékezetéül legyen az az Úr elõtt, engesztelésül a ti lelketekért.

17 Azután szóla az Úr Mózesnek, mondván:

18 És csinálj rézmedenczét, lábát is rézbõl, mosakodásra; és tedd azt a gyülekezet sátora közé és az oltár közé, és tölts bele vizet;

19 Hogy Áron és az õ fiai abból mossák meg kezeiket és lábaikat.

20 A mikor a gyülekezet sátorába mennek, mosakodjanak meg vízben, hogy meg ne haljanak; vagy mikor az oltárhoz járulnak, hogy szolgáljanak és tûzáldozatot füstölögtessenek az Úrnak.

21 Kezeiket is, lábaikat is mossák meg, hogy meg ne haljanak. És örökkévaló rendtartásuk lesz ez nékik, néki és az õ magvának nemzetségrõl nemzetségre.

22 Ismét szóla az Úr Mózesnek mondván:

23 Te pedig végy drága fûszereket, híg mirhát ötszáz [siklusért], jóillatú fahéjat fél ennyit, kétszáz ötvenért, és illatos kalmust is kétszáz ötvenért.

24 Kásiát pedig ötszázért, a szent siklus szerint, és egy hin faolajt.

25 És csinálj abból szent kenetnek olaját, elegyített kenetet, a kenetkészítõk mestersége szerint. Legyen az szent kenõ olaj.

26 És kend meg azzal a gyülekezet sátorát és a bizonyság ládáját.

27 Az asztalt is és annak minden edényét, a gyertyatartót és annak edényeit, és a füstölõ oltárt.

28 Az egészen égõáldozatnak oltárát is, és annak minden edényit, a mosdómedenczét és annak lábát.

29 Így szenteld meg azokat, hogy szentségek szentségévé legyenek: Valami illeti azokat, szent legyen.

30 Kend fel Áront is és az õ fiait is; így szenteld fel õket papjaimmá.

31 Az Izráel fiainak pedig így szólj: Szent kenetnek olaja legyen ez nékem, a ti nemzetségeiteknél [is.]

32 Ember testét azzal meg ne kenjék, se ahhoz hasonlót, annak mértékei szerint ne csináljatok: szent az; szent legyen elõttetek [is.]

33 Valaki ahhoz hasonló kenetet csinál, vagy azzal idegent ken meg, kitöröltessék az õ népe közül.

34 Monda ismét az Úr Mózesnek: Végy fûszereket, csepegõ gyantát, onyxot, galbánt, e fûszereket és tiszta temjént, egyenlõ mértékkel.

35 És csinálj belõlök füstölõ szert, a fûszercsináló elegyítése szerint; tiszta és szent legyen az.

36 És abból törj apróra, és tégy belõle a bizonyság ládája elé a gyülekezet sátorában, a hol megjelenek néked. Szentségek szentsége legyen ez elõttetek.

37 És a füstölõ szer, a melyet készítesz, az Úrnak szentelt legyen elõtted; annak mértéke szerint magatoknak ne csináljatok.

38 Mindaz, a ki hasonló füstölõt csinál ehhez, hogy azt illatoztassa, irtassék ki az õ népe közül.

10261. 'And olive oil' means the Lord's celestial Divine Good. This is clear from the meaning of 'oil' as good, both celestial and spiritual, dealt with in 886, 4582, 9780; and from the meaning of 'olive' as celestial love, dealt with below, so that 'olive oil' means the good of celestial love, or what amounts to the same thing, celestial good. The expression 'the Lord's celestial Divine Good' is used because the origin of all good that really is good and exists in the heavens lies in what is Divine and the Lord's.

[2] But it should be remembered that in itself the Lord's Divine Good is a single whole; for it is infinite and contains infinite characteristics. What is infinite is a single whole, because the infinite characteristics it contains make one. But the distinguishing of that Good into celestial and spiritual is due to the different ways in which angels in heaven and people on earth receive it. That received by angels and people belonging to the Lord's celestial kingdom is called celestial Divine Good, whereas that received by angels and people belonging to the Lord's spiritual kingdom is called spiritual Divine Good. For all angels in heaven and people on earth receive the Lord's Good, which is a single whole, in various or dissimilar ways. This may be compared to the heat and light from the sun in the world. Though these regarded in themselves are a single whole, they nevertheless vary according to the seasons of the year and times of the day, and are also different in each region of the planet. Such variations of heat and light are due not to the sun but to the changing conditions on the planet brought about by variations as it orbits round the sun and revolves on its axis, so that again the reception is the determining factor. The variations of the one same light as it falls on individual objects, producing different colours, is also attributable to the ways in which it is received. From all this it may now be recognized why it is that the Lord's Divine Good, which is a single whole because it is infinite, is called celestial and spiritual.

[3] The meaning of 'oil' as good, both celestial and spiritual, is clear in the places referred to above. But the fact that 'olive' means celestial love, and 'olive tree' the perception and affection belonging to that love, is clear from the places in the Word where 'olive tree' and 'olive' are mentioned, as in the following: In Zechariah,

The prophet saw a lampstand all of gold. It had seven lamps on it, [and had] two olive trees beside it, one on the right of the bowl, and one on the left of it. He said to the angel, What are these two olive trees, and what are the two olive berries which are in the spouts 1 of the two tubes of gold? He said, These are the two sons of olives, standing beside the Lord of the whole earth. Zechariah 4:2-3, 11-12, 14.

[4] What these prophetic utterances imply none can know unless they know from the internal sense what 'a lampstand' means and what 'an olive tree' means. 'A lampstand' means the spiritual heaven, and its 'lamps' the holy truths there, see 9548, 9551, 9555, 9558, 9561, 9684. From these meanings it is clear that 'an olive tree' means the celestial kingdom born from the perception of and affection for good, and 'olive berries' the holy forms of good there, their truths being meant by 'the sons of olives'. 'Two' means the internal and the external parts of that kingdom, and a joining together.

[5] 'Oil' and 'lampstand' are used with similar meanings in John,

I will give [power] to My two witnesses, that they may prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth. These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands standing before the God of the earth. Revelation 11:3-4.

In Isaiah,

I will plant 2 in the wilderness the cedar of shittah, and the myrtle, and olive wood 3 . Isaiah 41:19.

'The cedar' and 'olive wood' are mentioned because 'the cedar' means spiritual good and 'olive wood' celestial good, spiritual good being charity towards the neighbour and celestial good being love to the Lord. 'Planting them in the wilderness' means doing so in lands outside the Church, thus among gentile nations.

[6] In Hosea,

His branches will go out and his beauty will be like that of the olive, and his smell like Lebanon. Hosea 14:6.

Here also 'the olive' means celestial good, and 'Lebanon' means spiritual good, so that 'Lebanon' is similar in meaning to 'the cedar'; for Lebanon was a forest consisting of cedars.

[7] In Isaiah,

Thus will it be in the midst of the earth, in the midst of the peoples, like the stripping of the olive tree, like the gleaning of grapes when the harvesting of them has finished. Isaiah 24:13.

Also Isaiah 17:6. Comparison is made with 'the stripping of the olive tree' and 'the gleaning of grapes after the harvesting has finished' because 'the olive tree' means a Church that is governed by celestial good, and 'the vine' a Church that is governed by spiritual good. For in the Word wherever good is the subject, truth is also, on account of the marriage of them. In like manner wherever the celestial is the subject, the spiritual is also. Furthermore the term 'celestial' is used in reference to good, and 'spiritual' to truth, see in the places referred to in 9263, 9314; therefore the terms are also used in reference to the vine and the olive tree. As regards 'the vine', that it means the spiritual Church, and its goodness and truth, see 1069, 5113, 6376, 9277.

[8] Here also is the reason why elsewhere the vine and the olive tree are spoken of together, as in David,

[Your] wife will be like a fruitful vine on the sides of your house, your sons will be like olive shoots, round about your table. Psalms 128:3-4.

In Habakkuk,

The fig tree will not blossom, neither will there be any produce on the vines; the olive crop will fail 4 . Habakkuk 3:17.

In Amos,

Your very many gardens, and your vineyards, and your fig trees, and your olive trees the caterpillar devoured. Amos 4:9.

The fig tree as well is mentioned, because 'the fig' means the external Church's good, 5113, whereas 'the vine' means the good of the internal spiritual Church, and 'the olive tree' the good of the internal celestial Church. Similar instances occur elsewhere.

[9] Since 'olive wood' meant the good of celestial love the two cherubs which were in the sanctuary in the temple were made from pieces of olive wood, as were the double doors, lintel, and posts, 1 Kings 6:23, 31-32. For the sanctuary in the temple represented the inmost heaven, where celestial good is present, and therefore everything in the sanctuary was a sign of something celestial. The ark there, for the sake of which the sanctuary existed, was a sign of the inmost heaven, where the Lord is, see 9485.

[10] 'The Mount of Olives', which was opposite the temple, had a similar meaning to 'the olive tree', just as 'Lebanon' had to 'the cedar'. Therefore in order that all the things the Lord did when He was in the world, especially Divine celestial ones, might be represented in the heavens, the Lord was very often on the Mount of Olives when He was in Jerusalem, as is clear in Luke,

By day Jesus was teaching in the temple, but by night He went out and spent the night on the mountain which is called Olivet 5 . Luke 21:37.

And elsewhere,

Jesus came out and went away, as was His custom 6 , to the Mount of Olives. Luke 22:39.

Regarding this mountain, that it was opposite the temple, see Mark 13:3; Matthew 24:3.

[11] The fact that 'the Mount of Olives' was a sign of celestial Divine Good is clear in Zechariah, where it is stated,

Jehovah's feet will stand upon the Mount of Olives, which faces 7 Jerusalem; and there He will fight against the nations. And the mountain will be split, part towards the east and towards the sea 8 , with a large valley; and part of it will move away towards the north, and part towards the south. Zechariah 14:3-4.

This is a description of the state of heaven and the Church when the Lord was in the world, fighting against the hells, conquering them, and at the same time restoring the heavens to order. 'The nations' there which He fought against are the evils coming from hell; 'the Mount of Olives' on which His feet stood is the Divine Good of Divine Love, for by this Good He fought and conquered. 'The splitting of the mountain with a large valley, towards the east and towards the sea' means the separation of heaven and hell; and the like is meant by 'its moving away towards the north and the south'. Those living in the light of truth are said to be in the south, and those in the love of good to be in the east, whereas those immersed in evils are said to be towards the sea, and those in falsities towards the north.
