1 Nang magkagayo'y ibinalik niya ako sa daan ng pintuan sa labas ng santuario, na nakaharap sa dakong silanganan; at ito'y nasara.

2 At sinabi ng Panginoon sa akin, Ang pintuang-daang ito ay sasarhan, hindi bubuksan, o papasukan man ng sinoman, sapagka't pinasukan ng Panginoon, ng Dios ng Israel; kaya't ito'y masasara.

3 Tungkol sa prinsipe, siya'y mauupo roon na pinaka prinsipe upang kumain ng tinapay sa harap ng Panginoon; siya'y papasok sa daan ng portiko ng pintuang-daan, at lalabas sa daan ding yaon.

4 Nang magkagayo'y dinala niya ako sa daan ng pintuang-daang hilagaan sa harap ng bahay: at ako'y tumingin, at, narito, napuno ng kaluwalhatian ng Panginoon ang bahay ng Panginoon: at nasubasob ako.

5 At ang Panginoon ay nagsabi sa akin, Anak ng tao, tandaan mong mabuti, at masdan mo ng iyong mga mata, at pakinggan mo ng iyong mga pakinig ang lahat na aking sinasabi sa iyo tungkol sa lahat ng alituntunin hinggil sa bahay ng Panginoon, at tungkol sa lahat ng kautusan doon; at tandaan mong mabuti ang pasukan ng bahay sangpu ng bawa't labasan sa santuario.

6 At iyong sasabihin sa mapanghimagsik, sa makatuwid baga'y sa sangbahayan ni Israel, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios: Oh kayong sangbahayan ni Israel, mangaglikat na kayo sa lahat ninyong kasuklamsuklam,

7 Sa inyong pagpapasok ng mga taga ibang lupa na hindi tuli sa puso at hindi tuli sa laman, upang malagay sa aking santuario, na lapastanganin yaon, sa makatuwid baga'y ang aking bahay, pagka inyong inihahandog ang aking tinapay, ang taba at ang dugo, at sinira nila ang aking tipan, upang idagdag sa lahat ninyong mga kasuklamsuklam.

8 At hindi ninyo iningatan ang katungkulan sa aking mga banal na bagay; kundi kayo'y nangaglagay ng mga tagapangasiwa sa aking santuario sa ganang inyong sarili.

9 Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios, Walang taga ibang lupa, na hindi tuli sa puso at hindi tuli sa laman na papasok sa aking santuario, kahit sinomang taga ibang lupa na nasa gitna ng mga anak ni Israel.

10 Nguni't ang mga Levita na nagsilayo sa akin nang ang Israel ay maligaw sa akin sa pagsunod sa kanilang mga diosdiosan; mangagdadanas sila ng kanilang kasamaan.

11 Gayon ma'y magiging tagapangasiwa sila sa aking santuario, na sila ang mamamahala sa mga pintuang-daan ng bahay, at magsisipangasiwa sa bahay: kanilang papatayin ang handog na susunugin at ang hain para sa bayan, at sila'y magsisitayo sa harap ng mga yaon upang pangasiwaan nila.

12 Sapagka't kanilang pinangasiwaan sila sa harap ng kanilang mga diosdiosan, at naging ikatitisod sila sa ikasasama ng sangbahayan ni Israel; kaya't itinaas ko ang aking kamay laban sa kanila, sabi ng Panginoong Dios, at dadanasin nila ang kanilang kasamaan.

13 At hindi sila magsisilapit sa akin upang magsagawa ng katungkulan ng saserdote sa akin, o magsisilapit man sa alin man sa mga banal na bagay ko, sa mga bagay na kabanalbanalan; kundi tataglayin nila ang kanilang kahihiyan, at ang kanilang mga kasuklamsuklam na kanilang ginawa.

14 Gayon ma'y gagawin ko silang tagapangasiwa sa bahay, para sa buong paglilingkod doon, at sa lahat na gagawin doon.

15 Nguni't ang mga saserdoteng Levita na mga anak na lalake ni Sadoc, na nagiingat ng katungkulan sa aking santuario nang ang mga anak ni Israel ay magsihiwalay sa akin, sila'y magsisilapit sa akin upang magsipangasiwa sa akin; at sila'y magsisitayo sa harap ko upang mangaghandog sa akin ng taba at ng dugo, sabi ng Panginoong Dios:

16 Sila'y magsisipasok sa aking santuario, at sila'y magsisilapit sa aking dulang, upang magsipangasiwa sa akin, at iingatan nila ang kanilang katungkulan sa akin.

17 At mangyayari, na pagka sila'y magsisipasok sa mga pintuang-daan ng lalong loob na looban, susuutan sila ng mga kayong linong kasuutan; at walang lanang dadaiti sa kanila, samantalang sila'y nagsisipangasiwa sa mga pintuang-daan ng lalong loob na looban, at sa loob.

18 Sila'y mangagpupugong ng kayong lino sa kanilang mga ulo, at mangagtatapi ng kayong lino sa kanilang mga balakang; hindi sila mangagbibigkis ng anomang nakapagpapapawis.

19 At pagka kanilang lalabasin ang mga tao sa looban sa labas, ng bahay, kanilang huhubarin ang kanilang mga kasuutan na kanilang ipinangangasiwa, at ilalagay nila ang mga ito sa mga banal na silid; at mangagsusuot sila ng ibang mga kasuutan, upang huwag nilang banalin ang mga tao ng kanilang mga kasuutan.

20 Ni aahitan man nila ang kanilang mga ulo, ni titiisin man ang kanilang buhok ay humaba; kanila lamang gugupitan ang kanilang mga ulo.

21 Ni iinom ng alak ang sinomang saserdote pagka sila'y magsisipasok sa lalong loob na looban.

22 Ni mangagaasawa man sa babaing bao, o sa inihiwalay man: kundi sila'y magaasawa ng mga dalaga sa lahi ng sangbahayan ni Israel, o ng babaing bao na nabao sa saserdote.

23 At kanilang ituturo sa aking bayan ang pagkakaiba ng banal at ng karaniwan, at ipakikilala nila sa kanila ang marumi at malinis.

24 At sa pagtatalo ay magsisitayo sila upang magsihatol; ayon sa aking mga kahatulan ay kanilang hahatulan: at kanilang iingatan ang aking mga kautusan at ang aking mga palatuntunan sa lahat kong takdang kapistahan; at kanilang ipangingilin ang aking mga sabbath.

25 At hindi sila magsisilapit sa alin mang patay na tao na mangagpakahawa; nguni't sa ama, o sa ina, o sa anak na lalake, o babae, sa kapatid na lalake, o babae na hindi nagkaasawa, maaaring mangagpakahawa sila.

26 At pagkatapos na siya'y malinis, sila'y bibilang sa kaniya ng pitong araw.

27 At sa kaarawan na siya'y pumasok sa santuario, sa lalong loob na looban upang mangasiwa sa santuario, siya'y maghahandog ng kaniyang handog dahil sa kasalanan, sabi ng Panginoong Dios.

28 At sila'y mangagkakaroon ng mana; ako'y kanilang mana; at hindi ninyo bibigyan sila ng pag-aari sa Israel; ako'y kanilang pag-aari.

29 Sila'y magsisikain ng handog na harina, at ng handog dahil sa kasalanan, at ng handog dahil sa pagkakasala; at bawa't bagay na itinalaga sa Israel ay magiging kanila.

30 At ang una sa lahat na unang bunga ng bawa't bagay, at lahat na alay na bawa't bagay, sa lahat ninyong mga alay ay magiging sa saserdote: inyo rin namang ibibigay sa mga saserdote ang una sa inyong masa upang pagpalain ang inyong bahay.

31 Ang mga saserdote ay hindi kakain ng anomang bagay na namamatay sa kaniyang sarili, o nalapa, maging ibon o hayop man.

4843. 'To Tamar his daughter-in-law' means a Church representative of spiritual and celestial things, which is called 'a daughter-in-law' from truth. This is clear from the representation of 'Tamar' as a Church representative of spiritual and celestial things, dealt with above in 4831, and from the meaning of 'a daughter-in-law' as the spiritual element of the Church, which is truth. The reason 'a daughter-in-law' has this meaning in the internal sense is that everything connected with a marriage, and all persons who were the offspring of a marriage, represented the kinds of things that belong to the heavenly marriage, see above in 4837, and consequently the kinds of things that belong to good and truth since these are the two partners in the heavenly marriage. This is why in the Word 'husband' means good and 'wife' truth, and also why 'sons and daughters' means the forms of truth and good which are the offspring of these. Consequently, being the wife of a son who has now become a husband, 'a daughter-in-law' means the truth of the Church which has been joined to good, and so on. But the meaning is different in the case of those who belong to the celestial Church from that of those who belong to the spiritual Church; for in the spiritual Church the husband is called 'the men' and means truth, while the wife is called 'the woman' and means good, see above in 4823.

[2] As regards 'a daughter-in-law' in the internal sense of the Word meaning the truth of the Church linked to its good, and consequently in the contrary sense meaning the falsity of the Church linked to its evil, this may also be seen from places in the Word where the expression 'daughter-in-law' is used, as in Hosea,

They offer sacrifice on mountain-tops and burn incense on hills, under oak. and poplar, and hard oak, because its shade is good. Therefore your daughters commit whoredom, and your daughters-in-law commit adultery. Shall I not punish 1 your daughters, in that they commit whoredom and your daughters-in-law in that they commit adultery? Hosea 4:13-14.

This refers to the worship of evil and falsity, the worship of evil being meant by 'offering sacrifices on mountain-tops' and the worship of falsity by 'burning incense on hills'. A life of evil is meant by 'daughters committing whoredom', and the teaching of what is false from which a life of evil results is meant by 'daughters-in-law committing adultery'. As regards acts of adultery and whoredom in the Word meaning adulterations of what is good and falsifications of what is true, see 2466, 2727, 3399. 'Daughters-in-law' therefore stands here for affections for falsity.

[3] In Micah,

The great man utters the perversity of his soul. and he twists it out of shape. The best of them is like a brier, the upright like a thorn-bush. The son treats the father with contempt, the daughter rises up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man's enemies are those of his own household. Micah 7:3-4, 6.

This refers to falsity that is the offspring of evil and which exists with the Church in the last times when it has been laid waste, in the proximate sense as it existed with the Jewish Church. 'The daughter rises up against her mother' means that the affection for evil stands opposed to truth, and 'the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law' that the affection for falsity stands opposed to good.

[4] Because the experience of a person undergoing temptations is of a similar nature to this - for in temptations a conflict takes place between evil and truth and between falsity and good, spiritual temptations being nothing else than experiences when the falsity and evil present in a person are laid waste - temptations or spiritual conflicts are described by the Lord in practically the same words,

Jesus said, Do not think that I have come to bring peace on earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and a man's enemies will be these of his own household. Matthew 10:34-36, 38.

The words from the Prophet that are similar to these, quoted a little above them, meant the laying waste of the Church. But here the temptations of those who belong to the Church are meant, for, as has been stated, temptations are nothing else than experiences in which falsity and evil are laid waste or taken away. For this reason also temptations as well as vastations are meant and described by deluges and floods of waters, 705, 739, 756, 790. Here also therefore 'daughter against mother' means the affection for evil standing opposed to truth, and 'daughter-in-law against mother-in-law' the affection for falsity standing opposed to good. Now because the evils and falsities present with a person undergoing temptation exist inwardly, or are his own, they are called members of his own household in the words 'a man's enemies will be those of his own household'. The fact that temptations are described in this passage is evident from the Lord's saying that He had not come to bring peace on earth but a sword; for 'a sword' means truth engaged in conflict, and in the contrary sense falsity engaged in conflict, 2799, 4499. (Yet He did come to bring peace, John 14:27; 16:33.) The description of temptations in this passage is also clear from what the Lord goes on to say - 'He who does not take up his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me'.

[5] Similarly in Luke,

Do you think that I have come to give peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division; for from now on there will be in one house five divided, three against two, and two against three. Father will be divided against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. Luke 12:51-53.

From these words too it is evident that 'father', 'mother', 'son', 'daughter', 'daughter-in-law', and 'mother-in-law' mean the kinds of things that originate in the heavenly marriage, namely goods and truths in their own order, and also their opposites; as also in Mark,

Jesus said, There is no one who has forsaken house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or fields, for the sake of Me and of the Gospel, who will not receive a hundredfold, now in this time, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and fields, with persecutions, and in the age to come eternal life. Mark 10:29-30.

Anyone unacquainted with the internal sense of the Word will think that 'house', 'brothers', 'sisters', 'father', 'mother', 'wife', 'children', and 'fields' mean house, brothers, sisters, father, mother, wife, children, and fields. But the meaning here is this: The kinds of things present in a person which are properly his own must be forsaken by him, and instead of these, spiritual and celestial things which are the Lord's must be received by him. This change is effected by means of temptations, which are meant here by 'persecutions'. Anyone can see that if he forsakes his mother he is not going to receive mothers, nor likewise to receive brothers and sisters by forsaking these.
