1 At sinalita ng Panginoon kay Moises, na sinasabi,

2 Kung ang sinoman ay magkasala, at sumuway sa Panginoon, na magbulaan sa kaniyang kapuwa tungkol sa isang habilin, o sa isang sanla, o sa nakaw, o pumighati sa kaniyang kapuwa,

3 O nakasumpong ng nawala, at ipagkaila at sumumpa ng kasinungalingan; sa alin man sa lahat ng ito na ginawa ng tao ng pinagkakasalahan:

4 Ay mangyayari nga, na kung siya'y nagkasala at naging salarin, na isasauli niya ang ninakaw, o ang nakuha sa pagpighati, o ang habiling inihabilin sa kaniya, o ang bagay na nawala sa kaniyang nasumpungan,

5 O anomang bagay na kaniyang sinumpaan ng kabulaanan; na isasauli niyang buo, at daragdagan pa niya ng ikalimang bahagi niyaon: sa may-ari ibibigay niya sa araw na pagkasumpong sa kaniya na siya'y may kasalanan.

6 At dadalhin niya sa Panginoon ang kaniyang handog dahil sa pagkakasala, isang tupang lalake na walang kapintasan na kinuha sa kawan, ayon sa iyong pagkahalaga, at ibibigay sa saserdote na pinakahandog dahil sa pagkakasala:

7 At itutubos sa kaniya ng saserdote sa harap ng Panginoon; at siya'y patatawarin tungkol sa alin mang kaniyang nagawa, na kaniyang pinagkasalahan.

8 At sinalita ng Panginoon kay Moises, na sinasabi,

9 Iutos mo kay Aaron at sa kaniyang mga anak, na iyong sabihin, Ito ang kautusan tungkol sa handog na susunugin: ang handog na susunugin ay malalagay sa ibabaw ng pinagsusunugan sa ibabaw ng dambana, buong gabi hanggang umaga; at ang apoy sa dambana ay papananatilihing nagniningas doon.

10 At isusuot ng saserdote ang kaniyang kasuutang lino, at ang kaniyang mga salawal na kayong lino at itatakip niya sa kaniyang katawan; at dadamputin niya ang mga abo ng handog na susunugin na sinunog sa apoy sa ibabaw ng dambana, at ilalagay niya sa tabi ng dambana.

11 At maghuhubad siya ng kaniyang mga suot, at magbibihis ng ibang mga kasuutan, at ilalabas ang mga abo sa labas ng kampamento sa isang dakong malinis.

12 At ang apoy sa ibabaw ng dambana ay papananatilihing nagniningas doon, hindi papatayin; at ang saserdote ay magsusunog ng kahoy sa ibabaw niyaon tuwing umaga: at aayusin niya sa ibabaw niyaon ang handog na susunugin, at susunugin sa ibabaw niyaon ang taba ng mga handog tungkol sa kapayapaan.

13 Ang apoy ay papananatilihing nagniningas sa ibabaw ng dambana; hindi papatayin.

14 At ito ang kautusan tungkol sa handog na harina: ihahandog ng mga anak ni Aaron sa harap ng Panginoon, sa harap ng dambana.

15 At kukuha siya niyaon ng kaniyang dakot, ng mainam na harina sa handog na harina, at ng langis niyaon, at ng lahat na kamangyan, na nasa ibabaw ng handog na harina, at kaniyang susunugin sa ibabaw ng dambana, na pinakamasarap na amoy, na alaala niyaon sa Panginoon.

16 At ang labis sa handog ay kakanin ni Aaron at ng kaniyang mga anak: walang lebadurang kakanin sa dakong banal; sa looban ng tabernakulo ng kapisanan kakanin nila.

17 Hindi lulutuing may lebadura. Aking ibinigay sa kanilang pinakabahagi nila, sa mga handog sa akin na pinaraan sa apoy; kabanalbanalang bagay nga, na gaya ng handog dahil sa kasalanan, at gaya ng handog dahil sa pagkakasala.

18 Bawa't lalake sa mga anak ni Aaron ay kakain niyaon na pinakabahagi nila magpakailan man, sa buong panahon ng inyong lahi, sa mga handog sa Panginoon na pinaraan sa apoy; sinomang humipo ng mga iyan ay magiging banal.

19 At sinalita ng Panginoon kay Moises, na sinasabi,

20 Ito ang alay ni Aaron at ng kaniyang mga anak na kanilang ihahandog sa Panginoon sa araw na siya'y pahiran ng langis; ang ikasangpung bahagi ng isang epa ng mainam na harina, na pinakahandog na harina magpakailan man, ang kalahati ay sa umaga at ang kalahati ay sa hapon.

21 Sa kawali ihahandang may langis; pagkatigmak niyaon dadalhin mo: lutong putolputol na ihaharap mo ang handog na harina na pinaka masarap na amoy sa Panginoon.

22 At ang saserdoteng pinahiran ng langis na mahahalili sa kaniya, na mula sa gitna ng kaniyang mga anak ay maghahandog niyaon: ayon sa palatuntunang walang hanggan ay susunuging lahat sa Panginoon.

23 At bawa't handog na harina ng saserdote ay susunuging lahat: hindi kakanin.

24 At sinalita ng Panginoon kay Moises, na sinasabi,

25 Salitain mo kay Aaron at sa kaniyang mga anak, na sabihin, Ito ang kautusan tungkol sa handog dahil sa kasalanan: sa dakong pinagpapatayan ng handog na susunugin ay doon papatayin ang handog dahil sa kasalanan, sa harap ng Panginoon; kabanalbanalang bagay nga.

26 Ang saserdoteng maghandog niyaon dahil sa kasalanan ay kakain niyaon: sa dakong banal kakanin, sa looban ng tabernakulo ng kapisanan.

27 Anomang humipo ng laman niyaon ay magiging banal: at pagka pumilansik ang dugo sa alin mang damit, ay lalabhan mo yaong napilansikan sa dakong banal.

28 Datapuwa't ang sisidlang lupa na pinaglutuan ay babasagin: at kung niluto sa sisidlang tanso ay lilinisin at babanlawan ng tubig.

29 Bawa't lalake sa mga saserdote ay kakain niyaon: bagay ngang kabanalbanalan.

30 At hindi kakanin ang anomang handog dahil sa kasalanan, kung may dugo niyao'y ipinasok sa tabernakulo ng kapisanan upang ipangtubos sa dakong banal: sa apoy nga susunugin.

10041. Verses 15-18 And you shall take one ram, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the ram's head. And you shall slaughter the ram, and take its blood and sprinkle it over the altar round about. And you shall cut the ram into its pieces, and wash its intestines and its legs, and put them on top of its pieces and of its head. And you shall burn the whole ram on the altar 1 . It is a burnt offering to Jehovah; it is an odour of rest, a fire offering to Jehovah.

'And you shall take one ram' means the good of innocence in the internal man. 'And Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands' means the transmission of power ... 'On the ram's head' means, to the whole of it. 'And you shall slaughter the ram' means preparation for purification of the internal man. 'And take the blood' means Divine Truth. 'And sprinkle it over the altar round about' means a joining to Divine Good. 'And you shall cut the ram into pieces' means that the interior things must be arranged into order, distinct from one another. 'And wash the intestines' means purification of the lowest things. 'And its legs' means purification of the more external things belonging to the natural man.

3519. 'And take for me from there two good kids of the she-goats' means truths born from that good. This is clear from the meaning of 'kids of the she-goats' as truths born from good, dealt with below. The reason for having 'two' was that as in the rational so in the natural there are things of the will and those of the understanding. Things in the natural that belong to the will are delights, while those that belong to the understanding are facts. These two have to be joined together if they are to be anything at all.

[2] As regards 'kids of the she-goats' meaning truths born from good, this becomes clear from those places in the Word where kids and she-goats are mentioned. It should be recognized that all gentle and useful beasts mentioned in the Word mean in the genuine sense celestial things, which are forms of good, and spiritual things, which are forms of truth, see 45, 46, 142, 143, 246, 714, 715, 776, 2179, 2180, 2781, 3218. And since there are various genera of celestial things or forms of good, and consequently there are various genera of spiritual things or forms of truth, one beast has a different meaning from another; that is to say, a lamb has one meaning, a kid another, and a sheep, she-goat, ram, he-goat, young bull, or ox another, while a horse or a camel has yet another meaning. Birds have a different meaning again, as also do beasts of the sea, such as sea monsters, and fish. The genera of celestial and spiritual things, and consequently of forms of good and truth, are more than anyone can number, even though when that which is celestial or good is mentioned, and also when that which is spiritual or truth, this is not envisaged as being anything complex, consisting of many parts, but as a single entity. Yet how complex both of these are, that is, how countless the genera are of which they consist, may be seen from what has been stated about heaven in 3241, to the effect that it is distinguished into countless separate communities, according to the genera of celestial and spiritual things, that is, of goods of love and of derivative truths of faith. Furthermore each genus of good and each genus of truth has countless species into which the communities of each genus are separated. And each species in a similar way has separate sub-species.

[3] The commonest genera of good and truth are what the living creatures offered as burnt offerings and sacrifices represented. And because the genera are quite distinct and separate, people were explicitly commanded to use those living creatures and no others, that is to say, in some sacrifices lambs and ewe-lambs, and also kids and female kids of she-goats were to be used, in other sacrifices rams and sheep, and also he-goats, were to be used, while in other sacrifices again, calves, young bulls, and oxen, or else pigeons and doves, were to be used, see 992, 1823, 2180, 2805, 2807, 2830, 3218. What kids and she-goats meant however becomes clear both from the sacrifices in which they used to be offered and from other places in the Word. These show that lambs and ewe-lambs meant innocence belonging to the internal or rational man, and kids and she-goats innocence belonging to the external or natural man, and so the truth and the good of the latter.

[4] The fact that truth and good present in the innocence that belongs to the external or natural man is meant by a kid and a she-goat is clear from the following places in the Word: In Isaiah,

The wolf will dwell with the lamb, and the leopard will lie down with the kid, the calf also and the young lion and the sheep together; and a little child will lead them. Isaiah 11:6.

This refers to the Lord's kingdom and to the state there in which people have no fear of evil, that is, no dread of hell, because they are with the Lord. 'The lamb' and 'the kid' stand for people who have innocence within them, and who, being the most secure of all, are mentioned first.

[5] When all the firstborn of Egypt were smitten the people were commanded to kill from among the lambs or among the kids a male without blemish, and to put some of the blood on the doorposts and on the lintel of their houses; and so the destroyer would not strike them with the plague, Exodus 12:5, 7, 13. 'The firstborn of Egypt' means the good of love and charity that was wiped out, 3325. 'The lambs' and 'the kids' are states of innocence, in which those with whom these exist are secure from evil. Indeed all in heaven are kept secure by the Lord through states of innocence. That security was represented by the killing of the lamb or kid, and putting the blood on the doorposts and on the lintel of the houses. .

[6] To avert his own death when a person saw Jehovah manifested as an angel he would sacrifice 'a kid of the she-goats', as Gideon did when he saw Him, Judges 6:19, and also Manoah, Judges 13:15-16, 19. The reason they offered a kid was that Jehovah or the Lord cannot appear to anybody, not even to an angel, unless the one to whom He appears is in a state of innocence. Therefore as soon as the Lord is present people are brought into a state of innocence, for the Lord enters in by way of innocence, even with angels in heaven. Consequently no one is able to enter heaven unless he has a measure of innocence, according to the Lord's words recorded in Matthew 18:3; Mark 10:15; Luke 18:17. Regarding people's belief that they would die when Jehovah appeared to them if they did not offer such a burnt offering, see Judges 13:22-23.

[7] Since genuine conjugial love is innocence itself, 2736, it was customary in the representative Church for a man to go to his wife with the gift of a kid of the she-goats, as one reads of Samson in Judges 15:1, and also of Judah when he visited Tamar, Genesis 38:17, 20, 23. The fact that 'a kid' and 'a she-goat' meant innocence is also evident from the sacrifices made as guilt offerings that a person would offer if he had sinned through error, Leviticus 1:10; 4:28; 5:6. Sinning through error is sinning through ignorance that has innocence within it. The same is evident from the following Divine command in Moses,

You shall bring the first of the firstfruits of your land to the house of Jehovah your God. You shall not boil a kid in its mother's milk. Exodus 23:19; 34:26.

Here the requirement 'to bring the firstfruits of the land to the house of Jehovah' means the state of innocence which exists in early childhood; and 'not boiling a kid in its mother's milk' means that they were not to destroy the innocence of early childhood. This being their meaning, the one command, in both places referred to, follows directly after the other. In the literal sense there seems to be no connection at all between them as there is in the internal sense.

[8] Because kids and she-goats, as has been stated, meant innocence it was also required that the curtains over the tabernacle should be made from she-goat hair, Exodus 25:4; 26:7; 35:5-6, 23, 26; 36:14, as a sign that all the holy things represented in it depended for their very being on innocence. 'She-goat hair' means the last or outermost degree of innocence present in ignorance, such as exists with gentiles who in the internal sense are meant by the curtains of the tabernacle. These considerations now show what truths born of good are, and what the nature of these is, meant by the two good kids of the she-goats which Rebekah his mother spoke about to Jacob. That is to say, they are truths belonging to innocence or early childhood, meant also by the things which Esau was to bring to Isaac his father, dealt with in 3501, 3508. They were not in fact such truths, but initially they appeared to be. Thus it was that Jacob pretended by means of them to be Esau.
