1 FA’ ancora un Altare da fare i profumi; fallo di legno di Sittim.

2 Sia quadro, di lunghezza d’un cubito, e di larghezza d’un cubito; e sia la sua altezza di due cubiti; sieno le sue corna tirate di esso.

3 E coprilo d’oro puro, il suo coperchio, i suoi lati d’intorno, e le sue corna; e fagli una corona d’oro attorno attorno.

4 Fagli ancora due anelli d’oro disotto a quella sua corona, a’ due suoi cantoni; falli da due dei suoi lati; e sieno per mettervi dentro le stanghe, per portar l’Altare con esse.

5 E fa’ le stanghe di legno di Sittim, e coprile d’oro.

6 E metti quell’Altare davanti alla Cortina, che sarà dirimpetto all’Arca della Testimonianza, davanti al Coperchio che sarà sopra la Testimonianza, dove io mi ritroverò teco.

7 E faccia Aaronne profumo di aromati sopra esso; faccia quel profumo ogni mattina, quando egli avrà acconce le lampane.

8 E faccia Aaronne quel medesimo profumo, quando avrà accese le lampane fra i due vespri. Sia questo un profumo continuo davanti al Signore, per le vostre età.

9 Non offerite sopra esso alcun profumo strano, nè olocausto, nè offerta; e non ispandete alcuno spargimento sopra esso.

10 E faccia Aaronne, una volta l’anno, purgamento de’ peccati sopra le corna di esso; faccia quel purgamento una volta l’anno, per le vostre età, sopra esso, col sangue del sacrificio de’ purgamenti, fatto per lo peccato. Questo Altare sia una cosa santissima al Signore.

11 IL Signore parlò ancora a Mosè, dicendo:

12 Quando tu farai la rassegna de’ figliuoli d’Israele, di coloro d’infra essi che devono essere annoverati, dia ciascuno al Signore il riscatto dell’anima sua, quando saranno annoverati; acciocchè non venga sopra essi alcuna piaga, mentre saranno annoverati.

13 Essi daranno questo: chiunque passa fra gli annoverati, darà un mezzo siclo, a siclo di Santuario, il quale è di venti oboli, per offerta al Signore.

14 Chiunque passa fra gli annoverati, di età da vent’anni in su, darà quell’offerta al Signore.

15 Il ricco non darà più, nè il povero meno di un mezzo siclo, in questa offerta al Signore, per lo riscatto delle anime vostre.

16 E piglia que’ danari de’ riscatti dai figliuoli d’Israele, e impiegali nell’opera del Tabernacolo della convenenza, e sieno per ricordanza per li figliuoli d’Israele, nel cospetto del Signore, per fare il riscatto delle anime vostre.

17 IL Signore parlò ancora a Mosè, dicendo:

18 Fa’, oltre a ciò, una Conca di rame, col suo piè di rame, per lavare; e ponila fra il Tabernacolo della convenenza e l’Altare; e mettivi dentro dell’acqua.

19 E lavinsene Aaronne e i suoi figliuoli le mani ed i piedi.

20 Quando entreranno nel Tabernacolo della convenenza, ovvero quando si accosteranno all’Altare, per fare il servigio divino per far bruciare alcuna offerta fatta col fuoco al Signore, lavinsi con acqua, acciocchè non muoiano.

21 E lavinsi le mani ed i piedi, acciocchè non muoiano. Sia loro questo uno statuto perpetuo; ad Aaronne, dico, e a’ suoi figliuoli, per le loro età.

22 Il Signore parlò ancora a Mosè, dicendo:

23 Prenditi degli aromati eccellenti, della mirra schietta il peso di cinquecento sicli, del cinamomo odoroso la metà, cioè dugencinquanta, e della canna odorosa parimente dugencinquanta;

24 e della cassia cinquecento sicli, a siclo di Santurario; e un hin d’olio di uliva.

25 E fanne l’olio per la sacra Unzione, un unguento composto per arte d’unguentaro. Questo sia l’olio della sacra Unzione.

26 Ungi con esso il Tabernacolo della convenenza, e l’Arca della Testimonianza;

27 e la Tavola, e tutti i suoi strumenti; ed il Candelliere, e tutti i suoi strumenti; e l’Altar de’ profumi;

28 e l’Altar degli olocausti, e tutti i suoi strumenti; e la Conca, e il suo piè.

29 Così consacrerai quelle cose, e saranno cose santissime; tutto quello che le toccherà sia sacro.

30 Ungi parimente Aaronne e i suoi figliuoli, e consacrali acciocchè mi esercitino il sacerdozio.

31 E parla a’ figliuoli d’Israele, dicendo: Quest’olio mi sarà un olio di sacra unzione, per le vostre età.

32 Non ungasene la carne di alcun uomo, e non ne fate alcun simigliante, secondo la sua composizione; egli è cosa santa; siavi cosa santa.

33 Chi ne comporrà del simigliante, ovvero chi ne metterà sopra alcuna persona strana, sia riciso da’ suoi popoli.

34 Il Signore disse oltre a ciò a Mosè: Prenditi degli aromati, storace liquida, unghia odorosa, e galbano, e incenso puro; ciascuno aromato a parte a peso uguale.

35 E fanne un profumo una composizione aromatica fatta per arte di profumiere, confettata, pura e santa.

36 E di essa stritolane alquanto minuto minuto, e mettilo davanti alla Testimonianza, nel Tabernacolo della convenenza, dove io mi troverò teco. Siavi questo profumo una cosa santissima.

37 E non fatevi alcun profumo di composizione simigliante a quello che tu avrai fatto. Siati esso una cosa sacra al Signore.

38 Chi ne farà del simigliante, per odorarlo, sia riciso da’ suoi popoli.

   


To many Protestant and Evangelical Italians, the Bibles translated by Giovanni Diodati are an important part of their history. Diodati’s first Italian Bible edition was printed in 1607, and his second in 1641. He died in 1649. Throughout the 1800s two editions of Diodati’s text were printed by the British Foreign Bible Society. This is the more recent 1894 edition, translated by Claudiana.

10061. 'And put it on the tip of Aaron's right ear and on the tip of the right ear of his sons' means all the ability to perceive Divine Truth emanating from the Lord's Divine Good in the heavens. This is clear from the meaning of 'the blood' which was put on the tip of the ear as Divine Truth which is present in the heavens and in the Church and emanates from the Lord's Divine Good, dealt with immediately above in 10060; from the meaning of 'the ear' as the power of perception, dealt with in 9397, at this point the ability to perceive Divine Truth in the heavens and in the Church since all the power of perception there is used to perceive that Truth (in particular that power of perception in the celestial heaven is meant here, for those there perceive truth springing from good, see the places referred to in 9277); from the meaning of 'the tip' of the ear, which is the outermost part of it, as the whole or all, for even as what is first or highest means the whole or all, so does what is last or outermost, see above in 10044; and from the meaning of 'the right ear' as the ability to perceive truth emanating from good. The reason why 'the right ear' has this meaning is that parts on the right side of a human being correspond to the good from which truths spring, while those on the left side correspond to the truths through which comes good, 9604, 9736. It is likewise so with the brain, the face and sensory organs there, the breast, the loins, and the feet.

[2] Without knowledge of this arcanum no one can possibly know why it was commanded that the blood should be put on the tip of the right ear, on the thumb of the right hand, and on the big toe of the right foot of Aaron and his sons, or why it was commanded that the right flank of this second ram together with the fat should be burned on the altar (spoken of below, in verses 22, 25 of the present chapter). Nor likewise can anyone know why it was commanded that the blood of the sacrifice should be put on the tip of the right ear of the one to be cleansed from leprosy, and on the thumb of his right hand and the big toe of his right foot, and that the priest should pour oil from a log 1 over his own left palm and dip his right finger in the oil that was on his left palm and sprinkle it with his right finger seven times before Jehovah, Leviticus 14:14-18, 25-28. Nor can people know the meaning where it says that the Lord told the disciples when they were fishing to cast their net on the right side of the boat, and that when they did so their catch was so great that they were not strong enough, because of the very great number of fish, to draw the net in, John 21:6. This represented the reality that when good is the side on which people act or teach they net countless items of truth; but not the reverse. Those also who possess truths and are governed by good are meant by the sheep on the right, but those who possess truths and are not governed by good are meant by the goats on the left, Matthew 25:32.

[3] 'The right hand' is also used to mean those who dwell in the light of truth emanating from good, in David,

The heavens are Yours, and the earth is Yours. The world and the fullness of it You have founded; the north and the right hand 2 You have created. Psalms 89:11-12.

'The heavens', 'the earth', and 'the world' mean the Church, 9325. 'The fullness' means all truth and goodness which constitute the Church, 'the north' being those there who dwell in a state of obscurity so far as truth is concerned, 3708, and 'the right hand' those who dwell in the light of truth emanating from good, so that much the same is meant by 'the right hand' as by 'midday' or 'the south', 9642. From this it becomes clear what 'sitting at God's right hand' means when used in reference to the Lord in Psalms 110:1, 5; Matthew 26:63-64; Mark 12:36; 14:61-62; Luke 20:42-43, namely Divine Power exercised through the Lord's Divine Truth emanating from His Divine Good, 3387, 4592, 4933, 7518, 8281, 9133.

[4] Since most things in the Word also have a contrary meaning, so too do 'the right' and 'the left'. In the contrary sense 'the right' means evil from which falsity arises, and 'the left' falsity through which comes evil, as in Zechariah,

Woe to the worthless shepherd deserting the flock! The sword will fall upon his arm and upon his right eye. His arm will become wholly withered, and his right eye will be utterly darkened. Zechariah 11:17.

'Arm' here stands for the power of truth when used to justify evil; and because this power is 'worthless' it says that it 'will become wholly withered'. 'Right eye' is the knowledge of good when used to substantiate falsity; and because this knowledge is 'worthless' it says that it 'will be utterly darkened'. 'Shepherd' is one who teaches truths and leads by means of them towards good, 343, 3795, 6044, so that 'the worthless shepherd' is one who teaches and leads towards evil. 'Arm' means the power that truth springing from good possesses, 4931-4937, 7205, but 'the arm of a worthless shepherd' is the lack of power. 'Eye' is the understanding and perception of truth, 4403-4421, 4523-4534, 9051, but 'the right eye of a worthless shepherd' is a knowledge of good devoid of any understanding or perception of it because it is made to serve falsity. 'Utter (or thick) darkness' is falsity arising from evil, 7711.

[5] In Matthew,

Jesus said, If your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away from you; it will be better for you that one of your members perish, than that your whole body be cast into gehenna. Matthew 5:29-30.

'Right eye' means an understanding of and belief in falsity arising from evil, and 'right hand' falsity itself arising from evil. Anyone may recognize that 'eye' is not used here to mean the eye nor 'right hand' to mean the right hand, and that the eye causing a person to stumble should not be plucked out, nor should the right hand causing him to stumble be cut off, for that would contribute nothing to the person's well-being. In John,

The beast placed on them all a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads. Revelation 13:16.

'Right hand' here is falsity arising from evil, and 'forehead' is the love of evil from which falsity arises. 'Forehead' means heavenly love and therefore in the contrary sense hellish love, see 9936.
