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.

10105. 'And boil its flesh in a holy place' means employing the truths of doctrine seen in light received from the Lord to make good ready for use in life. This is clear from the meaning of 'boiling' as employing the truths of doctrine to make ready for use in life; from the meaning of 'flesh' as good, dealt with in 7850, 9127; and from the meaning of 'in a holy place' as thanks to Divine enlightenment. For a holy place is one where what is Divine and the Lord's is present, and so, when the expression has specific reference to the truths of doctrine, is one where Divine enlightenment exists; for where what is Divine and the Lord's is present, so is enlightenment. The reason why 'boiling the flesh of the sacrifice' means employing the truths of doctrine to make good ready for use in life is that flesh, by which good is meant, is by that means made ready for the use of the body; consequently being made ready for use in life is meant in the spiritual sense. The fact that the truths of doctrine are what are employed to make good ready is self-evident, for use is what those truths teach. Also 'the water' in which the flesh is boiled means truths, see 2702, 3058, 3424, 5668, 8568, 9323.

[2] The words 'employing the truths of doctrine seen in light received from the Lord' are used because truths drawn from the Word have to be marshalled into doctrine in order that they may be put to use. The marshalling must be done by those who see things in light received from the Lord; and those so enlightened when they read the Word are people who desire truth for its own sake and for the sake of goodness of life, not those who desire it for the sake of self-glorification, reputation, or gain. Doctrine drawn from the Word is wholly essential for understanding the Word, see 9025, 9409, 9410, 9424, 9430; and those who gather doctrine from the Word must see things in light received from the Lord, 9382, 9424.

[3] The meaning of 'boiling in water' as turning truths into doctrine and thereby making them ready for use in life seems at first sight to be implausible and far-fetched. Nevertheless that is indeed the meaning, as becomes clear from places in the Word where the words 'boiling in water' occur, and also where 'a pot' in which the boiling is done is mentioned, as in the second Book of Kings,

Elisha came again to Gilgal, when there was a famine in the land. When the sons of the prophets were sitting before him he said to his servant, Put on a great pot, and boil a soup for the sons of the prophets. One of them went out into the field to gather herbs and found a wild vine, and gathered from it wild gourds, and cut them up into the pot of soup. While they were eating of the soup they cried out, There is death in the pot, O man of God! Therefore he said that they should bring flour, which he threw into the pot, and said, Pour out for the people, that they may eat. Then there was not anything bad in the pot. 2 Kings 4:38-41.

This miracle, like all others in the Word, holds holy things of the Church within it, which are made evident by the internal sense. This sense shows that Elisha represented the Lord in respect of the Word, as Elijah had done; that 'the sons of the prophets' are those who teach truths drawn from the Word; that 'the pot' which was put on at Elisha's command is doctrine formed from them; that 'a wild vine' and 'gourds' from it are falsities; and from all this it is evident what 'death in the pot' is. 'The flour which he threw into the pot' is truth springing from good, as a result of which action - because doctrine had been cured - 'there was not anything bad in the pot'. The internal sense also shows that 'boiling in the pot' means combining into doctrine and thereby making ready for use.

All miracles in the Word hold holy things of the Church within them, see 7337, 8364, 9086.

Elisha represented the Lord in respect of the Word, 2762.

'Prophets' are teachers of truths, thus in the abstract sense, without reference to persons, the truths of doctrine, 2534, 7269.

'Vine' is the Church's truth, and 'grapes' its good, 5113, 5117, 9277, so that 'a wild vine' and 'gourds' are falsities and evils.

'Flour' is the authentic truth of faith derived from good, 9995.

'The soup' which they were to boil means matters of doctrine massed together, as those of the Jews were, 3316.

From all this people may deduce what 'boiling' means, and what 'a pot' means.

[4] In Ezekiel,

Tell a parable against the house of rebellion: Put on the pot, put it on, and also pour water into it; gather the pieces into it - every good piece, the thigh and the shoulder. Fill it with the choice of the bones, and let the bones be boiled in the midst of it. Thus said the Lord Jehovih, Woe to the city of blood 1 , to the pot whose scum is in it, and whose scum does not come out of it! Ezekiel 24:3-6.

These verses describe what the Word is like so far as doctrine is concerned, that is to say, it contains Divine Truths emanating from Divine Good. Then they describe doctrine from the Word as it existed among the Jewish nation - full of unclean and false notions. 'The pot' is doctrine; 'the thigh, the shoulder, and the choice of the bones' are Divine Truths emanating from Divine Good in successive order; 'the city of blood' is the Jewish nation in respect of the truth of doctrine among them, and in the abstract sense, without reference to nation or person, doctrine destructive of good; 'the scum in it' is that which is external and favours foul kinds of love, which if not removed defile truth. From this also it is evident that 'the pot' is doctrine, and 'boiling' making ready for use.

[5] In the same prophet,

The Spirit said to me, Son of man, these men think iniquity and give wicked counsel in the city, saying, [The time] is not near to build houses; [the city] itself is the pot and we are the flesh. Ezekiel 11:2-3, 7.

Here also 'the pot' stands for doctrine consisting of falsity arising from evil; for 'the pot' is used to describe the city in which iniquity is thought and wicked counsel is given. 'The city' too means doctrine, see 402, 2712, 2943, 3216, 4492, 4493, in this instance doctrine of the same type.

[6] In Jeremiah,

Jehovah said, What do you see? I said, A puffed-out pot do I see, its face towards the north. Jehovah said, From the north evil will be opened over all the inhabitants of the land. Jeremiah 1:13-14.

'A puffed-out pot' likewise means doctrine consisting of falsity arising from evil. 'The north' means an obscure state so far as the truth of faith is concerned, also thick darkness caused by falsities, 3708. From this it is evident what this prophetic vision holds within it.

[7] In Zechariah,

On that day every pot in Jerusalem [and] in Judah will be holiness to Jehovah Zebaoth, and all offering sacrifice will come, and take from them, and boil in them. Zechariah 14:21.

Here 'pot' means doctrine teaching about charity and faith, thus doctrine consisting of truth springing from good; 'Jerusalem' is the Lord's Church; and '[all] offering sacrifice' are those engaging in Divine worship. From this it is evident that 'boiling in the pots' means making ready for use in spiritual life.

[8] In Moses,

Every earthen vessel in which the flesh of the sacrifice of a guilt or a sin offering is boiled shall be broken. But if it has been boiled in a bronze vessel, it shall be scoured and rinsed 2 in water. Leviticus 6:28.

'An earthen vessel' in which the boiling was done is falsity that does not go together with good; 'a bronze vessel' is doctrinal teaching that has good in it; 'boiling the flesh of the sacrifice of a guilt or sin offering' in them means making something ready for purification from evils and consequent falsities. From this it is evident what was represented by the decree that an earthen vessel should be broken and that a bronze vessel should be scoured and rinsed in water.
