1 Og dette er hvad du skal gjøre med dem for å hellige dem til å tjene mig som prester: Ta en ung okse og to værer som er uten lyte,

2 Og usyret brød Og usyrede kaker med olje i, og usyrede, tynne brødleiver, smurt med olje; av fint hvetemel skal du lage dem.

3 Og du skal legge dem i en kurv og bære dem frem i kurven, og lede frem oksen og de to værer.

4 Så skal du føre Aron og hans sønner frem til inngangen til sammenkomstens telt, og du skal tvette dem med vann.

5 Og du skal ta klærne og klæ Aron i underkjortelen og overkjortelen som hører til livkjortelen, og livkjortelen og brystduken og binde livkjortelens belte om ham

6 Og sette huen på hans hode Og feste det hellige hodesmykke på huen.

7 Og du skal ta salvings-oljen og helle ut over hans hode og salve ham.

8 Så skal du føre hans sønner frem og klæ dem i underkjortler

9 og spenne beltet om dem - både om Aron og hans sønner - og binde de høie huer på dem, og de skal ha prestedømmet som en evig rett. Så skal du fylle Arons hånd og hans sønners hånd.

10 Du skal lede oksen frem foran sammenkomstens telt, og Aron og hans sønner skal legge sine hender på oksens hode.

11 Og du skal slakte oksen for Herrens åsyn ved inngangen til sammenkomstens telt.

12 Og du skal ta av oksens blod og stryke på alterets horn med din finger, Og resten av blodet skal du helle ut ved alterets fot.

13 Og du skal ta alt fettet som dekker innvollene, og den store leverlapp og begge nyrene med fettet som er på dem, og du skal brenne det på alteret.

14 Men kjøttet av oksen og dens hud og dens skarn skal du brenne op med ild utenfor leiren - det er et syndoffer.

15 Så skal du ta den ene vær, og Aron og hans sønner skal legge sine hender på værens hode.

16 Og du skal slakte væren og ta dens blod og sprenge rundt om på alteret.

17 Men væren selv skal du dele op i sine stykker; og du skal tvette innvollene og føttene og legge dem ovenpå stykkene og hodet.

18 Og du skal brenne hele væren på alteret - det er et brennoffer for Herren, en velbehagelig duft; det er et ildoffer for Herren.

19 Så skal du ta den andre vær, og Aron og hans sønner skal legge sine hender på værens hode.

20 Og du skal slakte væren og ta av dens blod og stryke på den høire ørelapp på Aron og hans sønner og på tommelfingeren på deres høire hånd og på stortåen på deres høire fot, og du skal sprenge resten av blodet rundt om på alteret.

21 Og du skal ta av blodet som er på alteret, og av salvings-oljen og sprenge på Aron og på hans klær, og likeledes på hans sønner og på deres klær, så blir han hellig, han selv og hans klær, og likeledes hans sønner og deres klær.

22 Og du skal ta det feteste på væren, bade halen og fettet som dekker innvollene, og den store leverlapp og begge nyrene og fettet på dem og det høire lår; for dette er innvielses-væren.

23 Så skal du ta et rundt brød og en oljekake og en tynn brødleiv av kurven med de usyrede brød som står for Herrens åsyn.

24 Alt dette skal du legge i Arons hender og i hans sønners hender, og du skal svinge det for Herrens åsyn.

25 Så skal du ta det av deres hånd og brenne det på alteret sammen med brennofferet til en velbehagelig duft for Herrens åsyn; det er et ildoffer for Herren.

26 Derefter skal du ta brystet av Arons innvielses-vær og svinge det for Herrens åsyn; det skal være din del.

27 Og du skal hellige svingebrystet og løftelåret - det som svinges og det som løftes av Arons og hans sønners innvielses-vær.

28 Det skal være en rettighet for Aron og hans sønner hos Israels barn til evig tid; for det er en gave, en gave som Israels barn skal gi av sine takkoffer, en gave fra dem til Herren.

29 De hellige klær som Aron har, skal hans sønner ha efter ham; dem skal de ha på når de salves og vies til prester.

30 I syv dager skal den av hans sønner som blir prest i hans sted, bære disse klær - han som skal gå inn i sammenkomstens telt for å gjøre tjeneste i helligdommen.

31 Så skal du ta innvielses-væren og koke kjøttet på et hellig sted.

32 Og Aron og hans sønner skal ete kjøttet av væren og brødet som er i kurven, ved inngangen til sammenkomstens telt.

33 De skal ete dette soningsoffer, det som bæres frem når de vies til prester og helliges; men en uinnvidd skal ikke ete av det; for det er hellig.

34 Men dersom det blir noget tilovers av innvielses-kjøttet eller av brødet til om morgenen, da skal du brenne op det som er tilovers; det skal ikke etes, for det er hellig.

35 Således skal du gjøre med Aron og hans sønner, i ett og alt således som jeg har befalt dig. Syv dager skal deres innvielse vare.

36 Du skal hver dag ofre en okse som syndoffer til soning, og du skal rense alteret fra synd idet du gjør soning for det, og du skal salve det for å hellige det.

37 I syv dager skal du gjøre soning for alteret og hellige det, og da skal alteret være høihellig; hver den som rører ved alteret, blir hellig.

38 Dette er det du alltid skal ofre på alteret: hver dag to årsgamle lam.

39 Det ene lam skal du ofre om morgenen, og det andre lam skal du ofre mellem de to aftenstunder,

40 og til det første lam tiendedelen av en efa* fint mel, blandet med fjerdedelen av en hin olje av støtte oliven, og til drikkoffer fjerdedelen av en hin vin. / {* en efa var et mål for tørre varer, likesom en hin for flytende.}

41 Det andre lam skal du ofre mellem de to aftenstunder; med det samme matoffer som om morgenen og med det samme drikkoffer skal du ofre det, til en velbehagelig duft, et ildoffer for Herren.

42 Dette skal være et stadig brennoffer hos eders efterkommere, og det skal bæres frem for Herrens åsyn ved inngangen til sammenkomstens telt, hvor jeg vil komme sammen med eder for å tale til eder.

43 Der vil jeg komme sammen med Israels barn, og det skal helliges ved min herlighet.

44 Og jeg vil hellige sammenkomstens telt og alteret; og Aron og hans sønner vil jeg hellige til å tjene mig som prester.

45 Og jeg vil bo midt iblandt Israels barn, og jeg vil være deres Gud.

46 Og de skal kjenne at jeg er Herren deres Gud, som førte dem ut av Egyptens land for å bo midt iblandt dem. Jeg er Herren deres Gud.

Arcana Coelestia#10057

10057. 'And you shall take the second ram' means the following state, which is that of Divine Truth emanating from the Lord's Divine Good in the heavens. This is clear from the things described in what has gone before and in what comes after. Those in what has gone before have to do with the sacrifice of the young bull and the burnt offering of the first ram, those in what comes after with the second ram and 'filling the hand with it', and finally with the sacrifice of a young bull and the daily burnt offering of lambs. Is there anyone at all rational in his thinking who does not see that these things in every detail have heavenly arcana lying within them? What other explanation could there be for the sacrifices and burnt offerings with so many ritual requirements? Why else was it necessary that the altar should be flooded with blood; that blood should be put on the tip of the ear, on the thumb, and on the big toe of Aaron and his sons, and also [sprinkled] over their garments; that in the case of the sacrifice the fat on the intestines, liver, and kidneys, and the kidneys themselves, should be burned on the altar (and all other parts burned with fire outside the camp, or else be eaten), and that in the case of the burnt offering the intestines and legs should be placed on top of the pieces and the head and burned on the altar; and also that the parts which were taken from the second ram should first be waved on the palms of Aaron and his sons, and that the other parts of it should be eaten? Let anyone who is willing to do so ask himself, Would not such requirements be earthly matters of no importance at all if they did not hold holy arcana within them? And if they are holy arcana, they must be altogether such as have to do with heaven and the Church, and in the highest sense such as have to do with the Lord; for these alone, being Divine, are holy. If people believe that the Word is holy and has been inspired by God in every single part, they must also believe that every single established practice in the sacrifices and burnt offerings embraces and contains such arcana within it. Yet what it is that those practices embrace and contain within them cannot by any means be known on earth unless it is known what is meant in heaven by such things. What is meant, however, the internal sense of the Word alone teaches, since this unfolds correspondences. For all things that exist in the natural world correspond to those which exist in the spiritual world, because the former comes into being from and is held in being by the latter.

[2] But what the sacrifices and burnt offerings described in the present chapter hold within them will be stated in the course of unfolding correspondences by means of the internal sense. The subject in the highest sense, in which all holy things are Divine, is the glorification of the Lord's Human, and in the representative sense it is the regeneration of a person. The actual process by which the Lord's Human was glorified and a person is regenerated is described fully by means of the things that were commanded regarding the sacrifices and burnt offerings. So that people may have some conception of that process let other things which their minds are capable of understanding serve to explain it. It is well known that the discernment of things seen with the eyes and heard by the ears takes place inwardly in a person; those things pass so to speak from the world by way of the eyes or ears into thought, and so into the understanding since thought belongs to the understanding. And if they are the kinds of things the person loves they pass from there into the will, and then from the will by way of the understanding into words spoken by the mouth and also into actions performed by the body. Such is the cycle in all this, passing from the world by way of the natural man into the spiritual man, and going out from there into the world again. Yet it should be remembered that this cycle is started off by the will, which is the inmost core of a person's life, and that it begins there and is inspired by it to run its full course. The will of a person in whom good is present is governed from heaven by the Lord, though the situation appears to be other than this. Influx takes place from the spiritual world into the natural world, thus through the internal man into the external man, but not the other way round; for the internal man is in heaven, whereas the external man is in the world.

[3] This cycle is the cycle of a person's life, and therefore when someone is being regenerated his regeneration proceeds in accord with that same cycle; and when he has been regenerated his life and actions proceed in accord with it. Consequently, while a person is being regenerated the truths which will compose his faith are instilled through hearing and sight; they are implanted in the memory belonging to his natural man. Then they are transferred from the memory into thought belonging to the understanding, and those which the person loves become part of his will. To the extent that they become part of his will they become part of his life, since a person's will constitutes his actual life; and to the extent that they become part of his life they become part of his affection, and so of charity in his will and of faith in his understanding. That life, which consists of charity and faith, then becomes the source of the person's words and actions. Out of the charity which occupies his will come the words he speaks with his mouth as well as the actions he performs with his body; and both come by way of his understanding, thus by way of his faith. From all this it is clear that the cycle of a person's regeneration is akin to the cycle of his life in general, and that it is in like manner started off in the will by an influx coming from heaven and beginning in the Lord.

[4] From this also it is evident that there are two states that a person undergoing regeneration experiences, the first being a time when the truths of faith are being implanted and joined to the good of charity, the second a time when the good of charity through the truths of faith governs what he says and how he acts. The first state is accordingly one that goes from the world by way of the natural man into the spiritual man, thus into heaven, and the second from heaven by way of the spiritual man into the natural man, thus into the world. The spiritual or internal man, as has been stated above, is in heaven, and the natural or external man is in the world. This cycle is the cycle of a person's regeneration, and therefore is the cycle of his spiritual life. Regarding those two states of a person who is being regenerated, see the places referred to in 9274.

[5] From what has been stated people may gain some idea of the glorification of the Lord's Human; for as the Lord glorified His Human, so He regenerates a person, and therefore, as has already been stated a number of times, the regeneration of a person is an image of the Lord's glorification. From this it is evident that the first state of His glorification consisted in making His Human Divine Truth and uniting it to the Divine Good that was within Him, and that the second state consisted in acting from Divine Good through Divine Truth. For by means of Divine Truth emanating from the Lord's Divine Good heaven is built and the Church is built, and by means of Divine Truth all within the Church are regenerated. These matters are what the sacrifices, burnt offerings, and their ritual observances spoken of in the present chapter serve to describe. The sacrifice of the young bull and the burnt offering of the first ram serve to describe the first state, and 'the fillings of the hand' with parts of the second ram the second state, while the sacrifice of the young bull and the daily burnt offering of lambs mentioned last in the chapter serve to mean the continuation of that second state.

[6] It should be remembered that purification from evils and consequent falsities in the case of a person who is being regenerated goes on unceasingly; for to the extent that a person is purified from evils and falsities the truths of faith are implanted and joined to the good of charity and the good of charity becomes the source of the person's actions. Purification from evils and falsities in man's case is not a deliverance from them; rather it is a removal or moving away of them, see 868, 887, 894, 929, 1581, 2269, 2406, 4564, 8206, 8393, 8988, 9014, 9333, 9446-9451, 9938. In the Lord's case however it was not a removal but a casting out of those which He had derived from His mother, thus a complete deliverance from them, so complete that He was no longer Mary's son, see the places referred to in 9315 (end).

These matters have been mentioned by way of introduction in order that people may know what is meant by filling the hand with parts of the second ram, spoken of in what follows immediately below.
