1 Y HABLO Jehová á Moisés, diciendo:

2 Toma á Aarón y á sus hijos con él, y las vestimentas, y el aceite de la unción, y el becerro de la expiación, y los dos carneros, y el canastillo de los ázimos;

3 Y reúne toda la congregación á la puerta del tabernáculo del testimonio.

4 Hizo, pues, Moisés como Jehová le mandó, y juntóse la congregación á la puerta del tabernáculo del testimonio.

5 Y dijo Moisés á la congregación: Esto es lo que Jehová ha mandado hacer.

6 Entonces Moisés hizo llegar á Aarón y á sus hijos, y lavólos con agua.

7 Y puso sobre él la túnica, y ciñólo con el cinto; vistióle después el manto, y puso sobre él el ephod, y ciñólo con el cinto del ephod, y ajustólo con él.

8 Púsole luego encima el racional, y en él puso el Urim y Thummim.

9 Después puso la mitra sobre su cabeza; y sobre la mitra en su frente delantero puso la plancha de oro, la diadema santa; como Jehová había mandado á Moisés.

10 Y tomó Moisés el aceite de la unción, y ungió el tabernáculo, y todas las cosas que estaban en él, y santificólas.

11 Y roció de él sobre el altar siete veces, y ungió el altar y todos sus vasos, y la fuente y su basa, para santificarlos.

12 Y derramó del aceite de la unción sobre la cabeza de Aarón, y ungiólo para santificarlo.

13 Después Moisés hizo llegar los hijos de Aarón, y vistióles las túnicas, y ciñólos con cintos, y ajustóles los chapeos (tiaras), como Jehová lo había mandado á Moisés.

14 Hizo luego llegar el becerro de la expiación, y Aarón y sus hijos pusieron sus manos sobre la cabeza del becerro de la expiación.

15 Y degollólo; y Moisés tomó la sangre, y puso con su dedo sobre los cuernos del altar alrededor, y purificó el altar; y echó la demás sangre al pie del altar, y santificólo para reconciliar sobre él.

16 Después tomó todo el sebo que estaba sobre los intestinos, y el redaño del hígado, y los dos riñones, y el sebo de ellos, é hízolo Moisés arder sobre el altar.

17 Mas el becerro, y su cuero, y su carne, y su estiércol, quemólo al fuego fuera del real; como Jehová lo había mandado á Moisés.

18 Después hizo llegar el carnero del holocausto, y Aarón y sus hijos pusieron sus manos sobre la cabeza del carnero:

19 Y degollólo; y roció Moisés la sangre sobre el altar en derredor.

20 Y cortó el carnero en trozos; y Moisés hizo arder la cabeza, y los trozos, y el sebo.

21 Lavó luego con agua los intestinos y piernas, y quemó Moisés todo el carnero sobre el altar: holocausto en olor de suavidad, ofrenda encendida á Jehová; como lo había Jehová mandado á Moisés.

22 Después hizo llegar el otro carnero, el carnero de las consagraciones, y Aarón y sus hijos pusieron sus manos sobre la cabeza del carnero:

23 Y degollólo; y tomó Moisés de su sangre, y puso sobre la ternilla de la oreja derecha de Aarón, y sobre el dedo pulgar de su mano derecha, y sobre el dedo pulgar de su pie derecho.

24 Hizo llegar luego los hijos de Aarón, y puso Moisés de la sangre sobre la ternilla de sus orejas derechas, y sobre los pulgares de sus manos derechas, y sobre los pulgares de sus pies derechos: y roció Moisés la sangre sobre el altar en derredor;

25 Y después tomó el sebo, y la cola, y todo el sebo que estaba sobre los intestinos, y el redaño del hígado, y los dos riñones, y el sebo de ellos, y la espaldilla derecha;

26 Y del canastillo de los ázimos, que estaba delante de Jehová, tomó una torta sin levadura, y una torta de pan de aceite, y una lasaña, y púsolo con el sebo y con la espaldilla derecha;

27 Y púsolo todo en las manos de Aarón, y en las manos de sus hijos, é hízolo mecer: ofrenda agitada delante de Jehová.

28 Después tomó aquellas cosas Moisés de las manos de ellos, é hízolas arder en el altar sobre el holocausto: las consagraciones en olor de suavidad, ofrenda encendida á Jehová.

29 Y tomó Moisés el pecho, y meciólo, ofrenda agitada delante de Jehová: del carnero de las consagraciones aquella fue la parte de Moisés; como Jehová lo había mandado á Moisés.

30 Luego tomó Moisés del aceite de la unción, y de la sangre que estaba sobre el altar, y roció sobre Aarón, y sobre sus vestiduras, sobre sus hijos, y sobre las vestiduras de sus hijos con él; y santificó á Aarón, y sus vestiduras, y á sus hijos, y las vest

31 Y dijo Moisés á Aarón y á sus hijos: Comed la carne á la puerta del tabernáculo del testimonio; y comedla allí con el pan que está en el canastillo de las consagraciones, según yo he mandado, diciendo: Aarón y sus hijos la comerán.

32 Y lo que sobrare de la carne y del pan, habéis de quemarlo al fuego.

33 De la puerta del tabernáculo del testimonio no saldréis en siete días, hasta el día que se cumplieren los días de vuestras consagraciones: porque por siete días seréis consagrados.

34 De la manera que hoy se ha hecho, mandó hacer Jehová para expiaros.

35 A la puerta, pues, del tabernáculo del testimonio estaréis día y noche por siete días, y guardaréis la ordenanza delante de Jehová, para que no muráis; porque así me ha sido mandado.

36 Y Aarón y sus hijos hicieron todas las cosas que mandó Jehová por medio de Moisés.

9930. 'And you shall make a plate of pure gold' means enlightenment received from the Lord's Divine Good. This is clear from the meaning of 'a plate' as enlightenment; and from the meaning of 'gold' as the good of love, at this point the Lord's Divine Good since 'Holiness to Jehovah' was inscribed on the plate. For the meaning of 'gold' as the good of love, see 113, 1551, 1552, 5658, 6914, 6917, 8932, 9490, 9510, 9874, 9881. 'A plate' means enlightenment on account of its brightness, for light shone from the gold on Aaron's forehead, and all brightness is a sign of enlightenment, as that in the heavens is which radiates from the Lord as the Sun. Enlightenment there consists in wisdom and intelligence derived from Divine Truth emanating from the Lord; for this Truth brings light to the interiors of those who are there. Their interiors answer to the understanding part of a person's mind, which is enlightened by the Lord when the person has a perception of the Church's and heaven's truth and goodness, the understanding being the subject that receives; for there is no reception without a subject. 1 The reason why 'the plate' means enlightenment from the Lord's Divine Good is that 'Holiness to Jehovah' was inscribed on it, and it was placed on the front of the turban which was on Aaron's head. Holiness which comes from Jehovah is Divine Truth emanating from the Lord's Divine Good, 6788, 8302, 8330, 9229, 9680, 9820. In order to represent the radiance or enlightenment that result in intelligence and wisdom the plate was tied to the front of the turban.

[2] Since 'the plate' meant enlightenment received from the Lord's Divine Good it was also called 'the plate of the crown of holiness' as well as 'the crown of holiness'; for a crown is a representative sign of Divine Good, and holiness is the Divine Truth emanating from that Good, as has been stated above. The fact that it was called the plate of the crown of holiness is evident further on in this Book of Exodus,

Finally they made the plate of the crown of holiness from pure gold; and they wrote an inscription on it, like the engraving of a signet, 2 Holiness to Jehovah. Exodus 39:30.

The fact that it was also called the crown of holiness is evident elsewhere in Exodus,

You shall place the turban on his head, and put the crown of holiness onto the turban. Exodus 29:6.

And in Leviticus,

He placed the turban on his head, and placed on the turban, on the front of it, 3 the plate of gold, the crown of holiness. Leviticus 8:9.

[3] The fact that the crown represented Divine Good from which Divine Truth emanates is clear from the crowns that the kings wore. For the kings represented the Lord in respect of Divine Truth, see 2015, 2069, 3009, 4581, 4966, 5044, 5068, 6148, and this was why they wore a crown on their head and held a sceptre in their hand, government animated by Divine Good being meant by the crown, and government inspired by Divine Truth by the sceptre.

[4] This meaning of 'the crown' is clear from the following places: In David,

I will make the horn of David to spring forth, I will make ready a lamp for My Anointed. His enemies I will clothe with shame, but upon Himself His crown will flourish. Psalms 132:17-18.

'David' here is the Lord, 1888, as is 'the Anointed', 3008, 3009. His 'horn' is power, 2832, 9081; 'lamp' is Divine Truth, which is the source of intelligence, 9548, 9783; 'crown' is Divine Good, which is the source of wisdom and also the mainspring of His government. It says that His crown, meaning wisdom, is going 'to flourish' on account of what He acquired to Himself in the world, to His Humanity, through conflicts with and victories over the hells, 8273, 9528 (end), the hells being His enemies who will be clothed with shame.

[5] In the same author,

You are angry 4 with Your Anointed, You have condemned His crown right down to the ground. 5 Psalms 89:38-39.

Here also 'the Anointed' stands for the Lord. 'Anger' stands for a state involving temptations, which was a state when He was engaged in conflicts with the hells. An expression of grief in that state is what the anger and condemnation describe (a final phase of temptation seems like condemnation), such as with the Lord's last grievous cry on the Cross that He was forsaken. For the Cross was the last of His temptations or conflicts with the hells; and after that last temptation He took on Divine Good, and in so doing united His Divine Human to Deity itself, which was within Him.

[6] In Isaiah,

On that day Jehovah Zebaoth will be a crown of adornment and a turban of beauty for the remnant of His people. Isaiah 28:5.

'A crown of adornment' stands for wisdom, which is a discernment of good from God, and 'a turban of beauty' for intelligence, which is an understanding of truth from that good. What is stated in this verse has regard to things among the people which were Divine, 'people' meaning the Church since they were where the Church existed.

[7] In the same prophet,

For Zion's sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until her righteousness goes forth as brightness, and her salvation as a lamp [that] burns. And you will be a crown of beauty in the hand of Jehovah, and a royal turban in the hand of your God. Isaiah 62:1, 3.

'Zion' and 'Jerusalem' are used to mean the Church, 'Zion' the celestial Church, and 'Jerusalem' the spiritual Church that extends from it. 'A crown of beauty' is wisdom, which is a discernment of good, and 'a royal turban' is intelligence, which is an understanding of truth. And since 'a crown' means wisdom, or discernment of good, it is said to be 'in the hand of Jehovah'; and since 'a turban' means intelligence, or an understanding of truth, it is said to be 'in the hand of God'. For when the subject is good the name 'Jehovah' is used, and when it is truth the name 'God' is used, 2586, 2769, 6905.

[8] In Jeremiah,

Say to the king and queen mother, 6 Lower yourselves, sit down, for the adornment of your head, the crown of your beauty, has come down. Jeremiah 13:18.

'The crown of beauty' stands for wisdom which is a discernment of good derived from Divine Truth; for 'beauty' is the Church's Divine Truth, 9815. In the same prophet,

The joy of our heart has ceased, our dance has been turned into mourning. The crown of our head has fallen. Lamentations 5:15-16.

'Crown of the head' stands for wisdom which those who belong to the Church derive from Divine Truth, which sets them above all other peoples and gives them a kind of authority.

[9] In Ezekiel,

I put 7 a jewel on your nose, and earrings on your ears, and a crown of adornment on your head. Ezekiel 16:12.

This refers to the establishment of the Church. 'A jewel on the nose' stands for the perception of good; 'earrings on the ears' for the perception of truth, and obedience; and 'a crown of adornment on the head' for wisdom resulting from such perception. In Job,

He has withdrawn glory from me, and has removed the crown of my head. Job 19:9.

'Glory' stands for intelligence, which is an understanding of Divine Truth, 9429, 'crown of the head' for resulting wisdom.

[10] In the Book of Revelation,

On the thrones I saw twenty-four elders seated, clad in white garments, who had on their heads crowns of gold. They fell down before the one seated on the throne, and worshipped the one who lives for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne. Revelation 4:4, 10.

'Twenty-four elders' means all those who are governed by good that is a product of truths, and in the abstract sense all forms of good that result from truths, 6524, 9404. 'Thrones' are truths from God, 5313, 6397, 8625, 9039; 'crowns of gold on their heads' are representative signs of wisdom received from God, and because it is received from Him they cast their crowns before the one seated on the throne.

[11] Since the good of wisdom is acquired through conflicts brought about by temptations, in which the truths of faith are used to fight with, those who fought against evils and falsities and were victorious were rewarded with crowns. Therefore also the crowns of martyrdom were emblems provided by the Lord which are signs of dominion over evils. The fact that crowns are the rewards of victory over evils, and that crowns consequently mean forms of the good of wisdom because these are rewards, is also clear from the Book of Revelation,

I saw, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow; to him a crown was given; he went out conquering and to conquer. Revelation 6:2.

'A white horse and he who sat on it' is the Lord in respect of the Word, 2760-2762; and 'a bow' is teachings of truth that are used to fight with, 2686, 2709. From this it is evident that since the Lord is the subject 'a crown' means Divine Good, which is the reward of victory.

[12] And in another place,

Afterwards I saw, and behold, a white cloud, and on the cloud one was sitting, like the Son of Man, having on His head a crown of gold, and in His hand a sharp sickle. Revelation 14:14.

'A white cloud' stands for the literal sense of the Word, 4060, 4391, 5922, 6343 (end), 6752, 8781; 'the Son of Man' stands for Divine Truth which emanates from the Lord, 9807; 'a crown of gold' for Divine Good from which Divine Truth springs; and 'a sharp sickle' for the dispersal of evil and falsity. In another place,

Be faithful right through to death, and I will give you the crown of life. Revelation 2:10.

And in another,

Behold, I come quickly. Hold on to what you have, that no one may take your crown. Revelation 3:11.

'Crown' stands for good that results from truths, thus for wisdom since this is the discernment of the good of love resulting from the truths of faith. From all this it may now be seen what a crown means, and from this what is meant by a crown of holiness, which was the plate of gold on which 'Holiness to Jehovah' was engraved.
