1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

2 Speak to Aaron and to his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things of the sons of Israel, and that they profane not My holy name in those things which they hallow to Me; I am Jehovah.

3 Say to them, Every man from all your seed to your generations, who comes·​·near to the holy things, which the sons of Israel hallow to Jehovah, and his uncleanness upon him, even that soul shall be cut·​·off from before Me; I am Jehovah.

4 A man, a man from the seed of Aaron and he is a leper, or has a flow, shall not eat of the holy things, until he be·​·clean. And whoever touches any thing that is unclean by the soul*, or a man whose laying·​·down of seed goes·​·out from him;

5 or a man who touches any crawling thing, by which he may be·​·made·​·unclean, or man by which he may be·​·made·​·unclean, whatever his uncleanness;

6 the soul which has touched any such shall·​·be·​·unclean until evening, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he bathe his flesh with water.

7 And when the sun sets, he shall be clean, and shall afterwards eat of the holy things; because it is his bread.

8 The carcass and that which is torn, he shall not eat to defile himself with it; I am Jehovah.

9 And they shall keep My charge, that they not bear sin against it, and die, if they profane it; I, Jehovah, do sanctify them.

10 And not any stranger shall eat of the holy thing; a lodger of the priest, or a hireling, shall not eat of the holy thing.

11 But if a priest buy a soul buying with his silver, he shall eat of it; and he that is born in his house, they shall eat of his bread.

12 And if a daughter of a priest be married to a man, a stranger, she may not eat of an uplifting of the holy things.

13 But when the daughter of the priest is a widow, or driven·​·out, and she has no seed, and returns to the house of her father, as in her youth, she shall eat of the bread of her father; but not any stranger shall eat of it.

14 And if a man eat of the holy thing in ignorance, then he shall add its fifth part over it, and shall give it to the priest with the holy thing.

15 And they shall not profane the holy things of the sons of Israel, which they lift·​·high to Jehovah;

16 or cause them to carry the iniquity of guilt, when they eat their holy things; for I Jehovah do sanctify them.

17 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

18 Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the sons of Israel, and say to them, A man, a man of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners in Israel, that will offer his offering for all his vows, and for all his freewill offerings, which they will offer to Jehovah for a burnt·​·offering;

19 you shall offer at your own good·​·pleasure a perfect male, among the cattle, among the sheep, or among the goats.

20 Any that has a blemish you shall not offer; for it shall not be well·​·pleasing for you.

21 And when a man offers a sacrifice of peace·​·offerings to Jehovah to make·​·a·​·special vow, or a freewill offering of the herd or of the flock, it shall be perfect for good·​·pleasure; there shall not be any blemish in it.

22 Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a streaming sore, or scabies, or warts, you shall not offer these to Jehovah, nor put a fire·​·offering of them upon the altar to Jehovah.

23 Both an ox and a sheep having any thing too·​·long or too·​·short, it thou mayest make a freewill offering; but for a vow it shall not be well·​·pleasing.

24 And you shall not offer to Jehovah that which is pressed·​·in, or beaten·​·down, or pulled·​·apart, or cut·​·off; and in your land you shall not do this.

25 Neither from the hand of the son of a foreigner shall you offer the bread of your God of any of these; for there is corruption in them, and a blemish is in them; they shall not be well·​·pleasing for you.

26 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

27 When an ox, or a sheep, or a goat, is·​·born, then it shall be seven days under its mother; and from the eighth day and beyond it shall be well·​·pleasing for an offering, a fire·​·offering to Jehovah.

28 And an ox or a sheep, you shall not slaughter it and its young in one day.

29 And when you sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to Jehovah, sacrifice it at your own good·​·pleasure.

30 In that day it shall be eaten·​·up; you shall let none of it remain until the morning; I am Jehovah.

31 And they shall keep My commandments, and do them; I am Jehovah.

32 Neither shall you profane My holy name; but I will be hallowed in the midst of the sons of Israel; I am Jehovah who hallows you,

33 who brought· you ·out of the land of Egypt, to be your God; I am Jehovah.

5212. 'And behold, seven heads of grain were coming up on one stalk' means facts known to the natural, which facts existed linked together. This is clear from the meaning of 'heads' or 'tips' as facts known to the natural, dealt with below, and from the meaning of 'on one stalk' as existing linked together, for all present on one stalk are linked together by their common origin. The reason facts are meant by 'heads' or 'tips' is that 'grain' means the good of the natural, 3580; for facts are the containers of natural good, just as heads are of grain. In general all truths are vessels for containing good; and so too are facts since these are truths of the lowest order. Truths of the lowest order, that is, the truths belonging to the exterior natural, are called known facts because they reside in a person's natural or external memory. They are also called such because for the most part they are dependent on the light of the world and can for that reason be presented and represented to others by the use of words, that is, by the use of ideas put into words that draw on things such as belong to the world and the light of the world. The contents of the interior memory however are not called facts but truths since these are dependent on the light of heaven. Without the aid of that light they are unintelligible, and without the use of words, that is, of ideas put into words that draw on things such as belong to heaven and the light of heaven they are inexpressible. The facts meant here by 'heads' or 'tips' are ones that are known to the Church, regarding which see 4749, 4844, 4964, 4965.

[2] The reason there were two dreams, one about seven cows, the other about seven heads of grain, was that in the internal sense both parts of the natural are dealt with, the interior natural and the exterior natural, the rebirth of the two being the subject in what follows. By 'the seven cows' are meant things in the interior natural which have been called the truths belonging to the natural, 5198; by 'the seven heads of grain' are meant the truths in the exterior natural, which are called facts.

[3] Interior facts and exterior ones are meant by 'the tips of the river Euphrates even to the river of Egypt' in Isaiah,

So it will be on that day, that Jehovah will smite from the tip of the river even to the river of Egypt, and you will be gathered one to another, O children of Israel. So it will be on that day, that a great trumpet will be blown, and they will come - those who are perishing in the land of Asshur, and those who are outcasts in the land of Egypt - and they will bow themselves down to Jehovah on the holy mountain, in Jerusalem. Isaiah 27:12-13.

'Those perishing in the land of Asshur' stands for interior truths, and 'the outcasts in the land of Egypt' for exterior truths, which are facts.

[4] Comparison with the blade, the tip or the ear, and the full grain also implies the rebirth of a person by means of factual knowledge, the truths of faith, and the good deeds of charity, in Mark,

Jesus said, The kingdom of God is like when someone casts seed onto the land. Then he sleeps and rises, by night and by day, but the seed sprouts and grows, he himself knowing not how; for the earth bears fruit of its own accord, first the blade, then the ear, after that the full grain in the ear. Once the fruit has been brought forth, he will immediately put in the sickle, because the harvest is established. Mark 4:26-29.

'The kingdom of God', which is compared to the blade, the ear, and the full grain, is heaven existing with a person through regeneration; for one who has been regenerated has the kingdom of God within him and he becomes an image of the kingdom of God, that is, of heaven. 'The blade' is factual knowledge, which comes first; 'the ear' is knowledge of what is true that develops out of that; and 'the full grain' is the good that develops out of this. In addition the laws laid down regarding gleanings, Leviticus 19:9; 23:22; regarding the freedom to pluck the ears on a companion's standing grain, Deuteronomy 23:25; and also regarding the non-eating of bread or of dried ears or of green ones before they had brought a gift to God, Leviticus 23:14, represented such things as are meant by 'ears'.

4965. 'And Potiphar bought him - Pharaoh's bedchamber servant' means among facts of a more internal kind. This is clear from the meaning of 'Pharaoh's bedchamber servant' as facts of a more internal kind, dealt with in 4789. 'Buying' means that He availed Himself of them, 4397, 4487. Facts of a more internal kind are those that come closer to spiritual ideas, being facts that are applied to heavenly matters. For heavenly matters are what the internal man sees when the external man sees no more than the facts in the outward form these take.
