1 Y esto es lo que les harás para santificarlos, para que sean mis sacerdotes: Toma un novillo, y dos carneros perfectos;

2 y panes sin levadura, y tortas sin levadura amasadas con aceite, y hojaldres sin levadura untadas con aceite; las cuales harás de flor de harina de trigo;

3 y las pondrás en un canastillo, y en el canastillo las ofrecerás, con el becerro y los dos carneros.

4 Y harás llegar a Aarón y a sus hijos a la puerta del tabernáculo del testimonio, y los lavarás con agua.

5 Y tomarás las vestiduras, y vestirás a Aarón la túnica y el manto del efod, y el efod, y el pectoral, y le ceñirás con el cinto del efod;

6 y pondrás la mitra sobre su cabeza, y la Corona de la Santidad pondrás sobre la mitra.

7 Y tomarás el aceite de la unción, y derramarás sobre su cabeza, y le ungirás.

8 Y harás llegar sus hijos, y les vestirás las túnicas.

9 Y les ceñirás el cinto, a Aarón y a sus hijos, y les atarás los chapeos (tiaras), y tendrán el sacerdocio por fuero perpetuo; y llenarás las manos de Aarón y de sus hijos.

10 Y harás llegar el novillo delante del tabernáculo del testimonio, y Aarón y sus hijos pondrán sus manos sobre la cabeza del novillo.

11 Y matarás el novillo delante del SEÑOR a la puerta del tabernáculo del testimonio.

12 Y tomarás de la sangre del novillo, y pondrás sobre los cuernos del altar con tu dedo, y derramarás toda la demás sangre al cimiento del altar.

13 Tomarás también todo el sebo que cubre los intestinos, y el redaño de sobre el hígado, y los dos riñones, y el sebo que está sobre ellos, y los quemarás sobre el altar.

14 Pero consumirás a fuego fuera del campo la carne del novillo, y su pellejo, y su estiércol; es expiación.

15 Asimismo tomarás un carnero, y Aarón y sus hijos pondrán sus manos sobre la cabeza del carnero.

16 Y matarás el carnero, y tomarás su sangre, y rociarás sobre el altar alrededor.

17 Y cortarás el carnero por sus piezas, y lavarás sus intestinos, y sus piernas, y las pondrás sobre sus piezas y sobre su cabeza.

18 Y quemarás todo el carnero sobre el altar: es holocausto al SEÑOR, olor grato, es ofrenda quemada al SEÑOR.

19 Tomarás luego el otro carnero, y Aarón y sus hijos pondrán sus manos sobre la cabeza del carnero:

20 Y matarás el carnero, y tomarás de su sangre, y pondrás sobre la ternilla de la oreja derecha de Aarón, y sobre la ternilla de las orejas de sus hijos, y sobre el dedo pulgar de las manos derechas de ellos, y sobre el dedo pulgar de los pies derechos de ellos, y esparcirás la sangre sobre el altar alrededor.

21 Y tomarás de la sangre que estará sobre el altar, y del aceite de la unción, y esparcirás sobre Aarón, y sobre sus vestiduras, y sobre sus hijos, y sobre las vestimentas de éstos; y él será santificado, y sus vestiduras, y sus hijos, y las vestimentas de sus hijos con él.

22 Luego tomarás del carnero el sebo, y la cola, y el sebo que cubre los intestinos, y el redaño del hígado, y los dos riñones, y el sebo que está sobre ellos, y la espaldilla derecha; porque es carnero de consagraciones.

23 También una torta grande de pan, y una torta de pan de aceite, y una hojaldre del canastillo de los ázimos que está delante del SEÑOR;

24 y lo has de poner todo en las manos de Aarón, y en las manos de sus hijos; y lo mecerás agitándolo delante del SEÑOR.

25 Después lo tomarás de sus manos, y lo harás arder sobre el altar sobre el holocausto, por olor agradable delante del SEÑOR. Es ofrenda encendida al SEÑOR.

26 Y tomarás el pecho del carnero de las consagraciones, el cual es de Aarón, y lo mecerás por ofrenda mecida delante del SEÑOR; y será porción tuya.

27 Y apartarás el pecho de la ofrenda mecida, y la espaldilla de la santificación, lo que fue mecido y lo que fue santificado del carnero de las consagraciones de Aarón y de sus hijos;

28 y será para Aarón y para sus hijos por fuero perpetuo de los hijos de Israel, porque es apartamiento; y será apartado de los hijos de Israel de sus sacrificios pacíficos, apartamiento de ellos será para el SEÑOR.

29 Y las vestimentas santas, que son de Aarón, serán de sus hijos después de él, para ser ungidos con ellas, y para ser con ellas consagrados.

30 Por siete días las vestirá el sacerdote de sus hijos, que en su lugar viniere al tabernáculo del testimonio a servir en el santuario.

31 Y tomarás el carnero de las consagraciones, y cocerás su carne en el lugar del santuario.

32 Y Aarón y sus hijos comerán la carne del carnero, y el pan que está en el canastillo, a la puerta del tabernáculo del testimonio.

33 Y comerán aquellas cosas con las cuales fueron expiados, para llenar sus manos para ser santificados; mas el extranjero no comerá, porque son santidad.

34 Y si sobrare algo de la carne de las consagraciones y del pan hasta la mañana, quemarás al fuego lo que hubiere sobrado; no se comerá, porque es santidad.

35 Así pues harás a Aarón y a sus hijos, conforme a todas las cosas que yo te he mandado; por siete días los consagrarás.

36 Y sacrificarás el novillo de la expiación en cada día para las expiaciones; y expiarás el altar, y lo ungirás para santificarlo.

37 Por siete días expiarás el altar, y lo santificarás, y será un altar santísimo; cualquiera cosa que tocare el altar, será santificada.

38 Y esto es lo que ofrecerás sobre el altar: dos corderos de un año cada día, continuamente.

39 Ofrecerás un cordero a la mañana, y el otro cordero ofrecerás a la caída de la tarde.

40 Además una décima parte de un efa de flor de harina amasada con la cuarta parte de un hin de aceite molido; y la libación será la cuarta parte de un hin de vino con cada cordero.

41 Y ofrecerás el otro cordero a la caída de la tarde, haciendo conforme al presente de la mañana, y conforme a su libación, en olor de suavidad; será ofrenda encendida al SEÑOR.

42 Esto será holocausto continuo por vuestras edades a la puerta del tabernáculo del testimonio delante del SEÑOR, en el cual me concertaré con vosotros, para hablaros allí.

43 Y allí testificaré de mí a los hijos de Israel, y el lugar será santificado con mi gloria.

44 Y santificaré el tabernáculo del testimonio y el altar; santificaré asimismo a Aarón y a sus hijos, para que sean mis sacerdotes.

45 Y habitaré entre los hijos de Israel, y seré su Dios.

46 Y conocerán que yo soy el SEÑOR su Dios, que los saqué de la tierra de Egipto, para habitar en medio de ellos: Yo soy el SEÑOR su Dios.

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.
