1 Og dette er loven om skyldofferet: Det er høihellig.

2 På det sted hvor brennofferet slaktes, skal skyldofferet slaktes, og dets blod skal sprenges rundt om på alteret.

3 Og alt fettet skal ofres, både halen og fettet som dekker innvollene,

4 og begge nyrene med det fett som er på dem, ved lendene, og den store leverlapp; den skal tas ut sammen med nyrene.

5 Og presten skal brenne det på alteret som ildoffer til Herren; det er et skyldoffer.

6 Alt mannkjønn blandt prestene kan ete det; på et hellig sted skal det etes; det er høihellig.

7 Med skyldofferet skal det være likesom med syndofferet; det gjelder én lov for begge; den prest som gjør soning med det, ham skal det tilhøre.

8 Når en prest ofrer brennoffer for nogen, så skal huden av det brennoffer han har ofret, tilhøre den samme prest.

9 Og ethvert matoffer som bakes i ovn, eller som stekes i panne eller på helle, skal tilhøre den prest som ofrer det.

10 Og ethvert matoffer som er blandet med olje, eller som er tørt, skal høre alle Arons sønner til, den ene som den andre.

11 Og dette er loven om takkofferet som ofres til Herren:

12 Dersom nogen ofrer det til lovprisning, så skal han foruten slaktofferet som bæres frem til lovprisning, ofre usyrede kaker med olje i og usyrede brødleiver smurt med olje, og fint mel knadd til kaker med olje i.

13 Dette er den offergave han skal bære frem foruten det slaktoffer som bæres frem til takk og lovprisning, og dessuten syrede kaker.

14 Av dette offer skal han bære frem én kake av hvert slag som gave til Herren; det skal tilhøre presten som sprenger takkofferets blod på alteret.

15 Kjøttet av et takkoffer som bæres frem til lovprisning, skal etes på den dag det ofres; intet av det skal bli liggende til om morgenen.

16 Dersom nogens slaktoffer er et lovet offer eller et frivillig offer, skal det etes på den dag det ofres; men det som levnes, kan etes den næste dag.

17 Men hvad som enda blir tilovers av slaktofferets kjøtt, skal på den tredje dag brennes op med ild.

18 Om nogen på den tredje dag eter av takkofferets kjøtt, da har Herren ikke velbehag i offeret; det skal ikke regnes den som ofret det, til gode, det skal være en vederstyggelighet, og den som eter av det, gjør en misgjerning som han kommer til å bøte for.

19 Kjøtt* som kommer nær noget urent, skal ikke etes, det skal brennes op med ild; ellers kan alle som er rene, ete av kjøttet. / {* nemlig av takkofferet.}

20 Men den som eter kjøtt av Herrens takkoffer mens det er noget urent på ham, han skal utryddes av sitt folk.

21 Og når nogen rører ved noget urent, enten det er et menneskes urenhet eller et urent dyr eller noget annet urent og vederstyggelig, og så eter av kjøttet av Herrens takkoffer, da skal han utryddes av sitt folk.

22 Og Herren talte til Moses og sa:

23 Tal til Israels barn og si: I skal ikke ete fett av okse eller får eller gjet.

24 Fettet av et selvdødt dyr eller av et sønderrevet dyr kan brukes til alle slags arbeid; men ete det må I ikke;

25 for hver den som eter fettet av noget dyr som det ofres ildoffer av til Herren, han skal utryddes av sitt folk.

26 Og blod skal I ikke ete, hverken av fugl eller fe, hvor I så bor.

27 Enhver som nogensinne eter blod, han skal utryddes av sitt folk.

28 Og Herren talte til Moses og sa:

29 Tal til Israels barn og si: Den som ofrer sitt takke-slaktoffer til Herren, han skal bære frem for Herren sin offergave av sitt takke-slaktoffer.

30 Med egne hender skal han bære frem Herrens ildoffer; både fettet og brystet skal han bære frem, og brystet skal svinges for Herrens åsyn.

31 Og presten skal brenne fettet på alteret; men brystet skal høre Aron og hans sønner til.

32 Og det høire lår skal I gi presten som gave av eders takkoffer.

33 Den av Arons sønner som ofrer takkoffer-blodet og fettet, han skal ha det høire lår som sin del;

34 for svinge-brystet og løfte-låret har jeg tatt fra Israels barn av deres takke-slaktoffer og gitt til Aron, presten, og til hans sønner som en evig rettighet de kan kreve av Israels barn.

35 Dette er Arons del og hans sønners del av Herrens ildoffer, som gis dem på den dag de føres frem for å tjene Herren som prester,

36 den del som Herren befalte skulde gis dem av Israels barn på den dag de salves, en evig rettighet, fra slekt til slekt.

37 Dette er loven om brennofferet, om matofferet og om syndofferet og om skyldofferet og om innvielsesofferet og om takkofferet,

38 den som Herren gav Moses på Sinai berg den dag han bød Israels barn å ofre Herren sine offer i Sinai ørken.

10109. 'And they shall eat those things containing what has been expiated' means the making of good their own by those who have been purified from evils and consequent falsities. This is clear from the meaning of 'eating' as making one's own, dealt with above in 10106; and from the meaning of 'what has been expiated' as that which has been purified from evils and consequent falsities, dealt with in 9506. The words 'purified from evils and consequent falsities' are used because falsities as well as truths exist with those ruled by evil, and also falsities as well as truths exist with those who are governed by good. The falsities present with those ruled by evil are falsities of evil, and the truths present with them are falsified truths, which are dead. But the falsities present with those governed by good are accepted as truths, for those falsities are tempered by the good and put to good and useful purposes, and the truths present with them are the truths of good, which are alive. Regarding both kinds of falsity and truth, see what has been shown in 2243, 2408, 2863, 4736, 4822, 6359, 7272, 7437, 7574, 7577, 8051, 8137, 8138, 8149, 8298, 8311, 8318 (end), 9258, 9298.

[2] Since 'eating the holy things containing what has been expiated' means the making of good their own by those who have been purified from evils and consequent falsities, anyone unclean was strictly forbidden to eat of those things; for uncleanness means defilement by evils and consequent falsities. For the situation is that as long as a person is steeped in evils and consequent falsities good cannot by any means be made his own. This is because evil comes up from hell and good comes down from heaven, and where hell is heaven cannot be, since they are diametrically opposed to each other. Therefore to make a place for heaven - that is, for good from heaven - hell, that is, evil from hell, must be removed. From this it may be seen that good cannot by any means be made a person's own as long as he is ruled by evil. By making good his own the implanting of good in the will should be understood, for good cannot be said to have been made a person's own until it becomes part of his will. A person's will is the actual person, and his understanding also, to the extent that it derives from the will. For what is part of the will forms part of the person's love and consequently his life, since what a person wills he loves and calls good, and also when it is done by him it is felt to be such. The situation is different with those things which are part of the understanding but not at the same time part of the will. It should also be recognized that when a person is said to make good his own, no more should be understood than his ability to receive good from the Lord, an ability he is endowed with through regeneration. Consequently good as it exists with a person is not that person's; rather it is the Lord's with him. And he is maintained in it to the extent that he allows himself to be withheld from evils. The impossibility for good to become a person's own, that is, for it to be transmitted to him, as long as he is ruled by evil was the reason for the prohibition which prevented one who was unclean from eating the flesh and the bread of a sacrifice; for that eating represented making good one's own, as stated above.

[3] Those who were unclean were forbidden on pain of death to eat from holy offerings, as is clear in Moses,

Everyone who is clean shall eat flesh. The soul who eats the flesh of sacrifices while uncleanness is on him shall be cut off from his people. The soul who touches anything unclean - the uncleanness of a human being or an unclean beast or any unclean creeping thing whatever - and eats of the flesh of the eucharistic sacrifice shall be cut off from [his] people. Leviticus 7:19-21.

All those outward kinds of uncleanness represented inward kinds, which are a person's evils; and they are evils present in his will, having been made his own by the life he actually leads.

[4] This matter is described further elsewhere in Moses,

Any man of the seed of Aaron who is a leper or suffers a discharge shall not eat of the holy things until he has been made clean. Whoever has touched anything made unclean by a corpse 1 , [or any] man who has had an emission of semen 2 , or [any] man who has touched any creeping thing by which he is defiled, or [has touched] a person by whom any one is defiled, as to all his uncleanness - the soul who has touched that thing shall be unclean until evening and not eat of the holy things. But when he has washed his flesh with water, and the sun has gone down, he shall be clean; and afterwards he shall eat of the holy things, because it is his bread. No outsider shall eat what is holy; a stranger staying with a priest, or a hired servant, shall not eat what is holy. If the priest buys a soul - a buying with his silver - [that soul] may eat of it, and one who is born in his house; these shall eat of his bread. When a priest's daughter has married a man, an outsider, she shall not eat of the heave offering of holy things. But if the priest's daughter has been made a widow or divorced and has no seed, and has indeed returned to her father's house, as in her youth, she shall eat of her father's bread. Leviticus 22:1-16.

All these rules, it is plainly evident, serve to mean more internal considerations, that is, they imply the transmission of holy things to those in a receptive state of mind, who then make those things their own. The rule that no outsider could eat the holy things meant, not those who do not acknowledge the Lord within the Church, thus not those with whom none of the Church's truth and good exists. The rule that no stranger or hired servant could eat them meant, neither those with whom natural good exists devoid of the good of faith, nor those who do good for the sake of reward. The rule that those bought with silver and those born in the house could eat them meant, those who have been converted, and those with whom the Church's truth and good exists as the result of faith and love. The rule that a priest's daughter married to a man who was an outsider could not eat them meant that the good which had not been wedded to the Church's truths [but to something other] could not make the holy things of the Church its own. The rule however that a widow or a divorcee who had no seed could eat them meant that good can be made one's own after the removal of things which do not belong to the Church, provided that no notions have been hatched or born out of that union that have become an integral part of one's faith. The fact that such considerations are meant is evident from the internal sense of these specific rules.

[5] But hereditary evils do not prevent anyone from making good his own. This consideration too is described in Moses,

No man of the seed of Aaron in whom there is a blemish shall approach to offer the bread of God - no man who is blind, lame, mutilated, or [has a limb] too long; none who has a broken foot or hand, is a hunchback, is bruised, has a defect in his eye, has scabs, has warts, or has a crushed testicle. He shall not approach to offer the bread of his God; but he shall eat the bread of God from among the most holy and the holy things. Leviticus 21:17-23.

These defects, as has been stated, serve to mean hereditary evils, some specific evil being meant by each particular defect. The reason why these men should not offer bread or approach the altar as priests was that if they did so the people would catch sight of those imperfections or ills, and in what was caught sight of some representation would take shape, none of which would happen if those defects remained hidden. For although a priest, Levite, or the people were unclean inwardly, they were nevertheless called clean and also thought to be sanctified, provided that outwardly they were washed and looked clean.
