1 L’Eterno chiamò Mosè e gli parlò dalla tenda di convegno, dicendo:

2 "Parla ai figliuoli d’Israele e di’ loro: Quando qualcuno tra voi recherà un’offerta all’Eterno, l’offerta che recherete sarà di bestiame: di capi d’armento o di capi di gregge.

3 Se la sua offerta è un olocausto di capi d’armento, offrirà un maschio senza difetto; l’offrirà all’ingresso della tenda di convegno, per ottenere il favore dell’Eterno.

4 E poserà la mano sulla testa dell’olocausto, il quale sarà accetto all’Eterno, per fare espiazione per lui.

5 Poi scannerà il vitello davanti all’Eterno; e i sacerdoti, figliuoli d’Aaronne, offriranno il sangue, e lo spargeranno tutt’intorno sull’altare, che è all’ingresso della tenda di convegno.

6 Si trarrà quindi la pelle all’olocausto, e lo si taglierà a pezzi.

7 E i figliuoli del sacerdote Aaronne metteranno del fuoco sull’altare, e accomoderanno delle legna sul fuoco.

8 Poi i sacerdoti, figliuoli d’Aaronne, disporranno que’ pezzi, la testa e il grasso, sulle legna messe sul fuoco sopra l’altare;

9 ma le interiora e le gambe si laveranno con acqua, e il sacerdote farà fumare ogni cosa sull’altare, come un olocausto, un sacrifizio di soave odore, fatto mediante il fuoco all’Eterno.

10 Se la sua offerta è un olocausto di capi di gregge, di pecore o di capre, offrirà un maschio senza difetto.

11 Lo scannerà dal lato settentrionale dell’altare, davanti all’Eterno; e i sacerdoti, figliuoli d’Aaronne, ne spargeranno il sangue sull’altare, tutt’intorno.

12 Poi lo si taglierà a pezzi, che, insieme colla testa e col grasso, il sacerdote disporrà sulle legna messe sul fuoco sopra l’altare;

13 ma le interiora e le gambe si laveranno con acqua, e il sacerdote offrirà ogni cosa e la farà fumare sull’altare. Questo è un olocausto, un sacrifizio di soave odore, fatto mediante il fuoco all’Eterno.

14 Se la sua offerta all’Eterno è un olocausto d’uccelli, offrirà delle tortore o de’ giovani piccioni.

15 Il sacerdote offrirà in sacrifizio l’uccello sull’altare, gli spiccherà la testa, la farà fumare sull’altare, e il sangue d’esso sarà fatto scorrere sopra uno de’ lati dell’altare.

16 Poi gli toglierà il gozzo con quel che contiene, e getterà tutto allato all’altare, verso oriente, nel luogo delle ceneri.

17 Spaccherà quindi l’uccello per le ali, senza però dividerlo in due, e il sacerdote lo farà fumare sull’altare, sulle legna messe sopra il fuoco. Questo è un olocausto, un sacrifizio di soave odore, fatto mediante il fuoco all’Eterno.

330. Out of every tribe and tongue. That this signifies from all those who are in truths as to doctrine and as to life, is clear from the signification of a tribe, as denoting all truths and goods in the aggregate (concerning which see above, n. 39); for those things are signified by the twelve tribes, and hence by every tribe is signified something of truth and good, therefore by out of every tribe is signified from all those who are in any kind of truth and good; and from the signification of tongue as denoting the doctrine of life and faith. That tribes signify all truths and goods in the aggregate, will be shown more fully in its proper article below. Similarly, that tongue signifies the doctrine of life and faith, thus religion. (Those [passages] only shall be adduced here that are shown in the Arcana Coelestia concerning the signification of the tribes, namely, the twelve tribes of Israel represented, and thence signified, all truths and goods in the aggregate, n. 3858, 3926, 4060, 6335; similarly the twelve apostles of the Lord the like, n. 2129, 3354, 3488, 6397. There were twelve, because twelve signifies all, n. 577, 2089, 2129, 2130, 3272, 3858, 3913. Because the twelve tribes represented, and thence signified, all truths and goods in the aggregate, therefore they represented heaven and the church, n. 6337, 6637, 7836, 7891, 7996. The twelve tribes signify various things according to the order in which they are named, and thus also all things of heaven and the church with variety, n. 3862, 3926, 3939, 4603 et seq., 6337, 6640, 10335; therefore, replies could be given and were given by the Urim and Thummim, on which the names of the twelve tribes of Israel were engraven in precious stones, n. 3858, 6335, 6640, 9863, 9865, 9873, 9874, 9905.)

Arcana Coelestia#2353

2353. 'In the night' means the final period when these two are acknowledged no longer. This is clear from the meaning of 'the night' as a time of darkness when the things of light are seen no longer. The angels did not come in the night but at evening time, but because it was the men of Sodom who spoke and cried out, that is, those who are immersed in falsity and evil, the expression used is not 'in the evening' but 'in the night'. For 'night' in the Word means the period of time and the state when the light of truth exists no longer, but merely falsity and evil, and so is the final period when judgement takes place.

[2] This meaning is met in other places, as in Micah,

Against the prophets who lead the people astray: It is night for you instead of vision, and darkness for you instead of divination, and the sun is setting upon the prophets and the day is becoming black over them. Micah 3:5-6.

'The prophets' here stands for those who teach falsities. 'Night', 'darkness', 'sunset', and 'the day becoming black' stand for falsities and evils.

[3] In John,

If anyone walks in the day he does not stumble; but if anyone walks in the night he stumbles because the light is not in him. John 11:9-10.

Here 'night' stands for falsity deriving from evil. 'The light' stands for truth deriving from good, for just as all the light of truth derives from good, so all the night of falsity does so from evil.

[4] In the same gospel,

I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; night is coming when nobody can work. John 9:4.

'Day' stands for the period of time and the state when good and truth are present, but 'night' when evil and falsity are present.

[5] In Luke,

I tell you, in that night there will be two upon one bed; one will be taken, the other left. Luke 17:34.

Here 'night' stands for the final period when the truth of faith is no more.

[6] When the children of Israel were going out of Egypt they were commanded 'to go out at midnight', because in this way the vastation of good and truth inside the Church was represented, and also that nothing except falsity and evil reigned there any longer, Exodus 11:4. And when they did, all the firstborn of Egypt were slain at midnight, Exodus 12:12, 29-30. Now because those with whom good and truth are present, who were represented by the children of Israel, are watched over when, like Lot in Sodom, they are among falsities and evils, that night is described in reference to them as 'the night when Jehovah kept watch', Exodus 12:42.
