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.

9959. 'And make for them linen undergarments' means an external level of conjugial love. This is clear from the meaning of 'undergarments' as an external level of conjugial love, dealt with below; and from the meaning of 'linen' as external truth or natural truth, also dealt with below. The reason why an external level of conjugial love is meant by 'undergarments' is that garments or coverings derive their meaning from the part of the body they cover, 9827, and the loins and genital organs, which the undergarments clothe or cover, mean conjugial love. For 'the loins' and their meaning this love, see 3021, 4280, 4575; and for 'the genital organs' and their meaning it, 4462, 5050-5062. What truly conjugial love is will be stated below in 9960.

[2] The undergarments were made from linen because 'linen' or 'flax' means external truth or natural truth, 7601, and what constitutes the actual external is truth. The reason why truth constitutes the external is that internal things terminate in external ones and rest on them as their underlying supports, and the underlying supports of good are truths. These are like the foundations on which a house is built or on which a house rests, which is why the truths of faith springing from good are meant by the foundations of a house, 9643. Truths furthermore are what protect forms of good from and withstand evils and falsities, all the power that good possesses being exerted by means of truths, 9643. So it is also that the last and lowest part of heaven is inhabited by those who are guided by truths of faith springing from good. So it is also therefore that what is last or most external with a person, namely his external skin, corresponds to those in heaven who are guided by the truths of faith, 5552-5559, 8980, yet not to those who uphold faith separated from good, since they are not in heaven. From all this it may now be recognized why the undergarments were made from linen or flax. Aaron's undergarment however, when he was clothed with the garments which were 'for glorious adornment', and which have been the subject in the present chapter, was made of fine linen together with interwoven fine linen, as is evident from a later chapter where it says,

They made tunics of fine linen, the work of a weaver, and a turban of fine linen, and attractive headdresses 1 from fine linen, and linen undergarments with fine twined linen. Exodus 39:27-28.

But when he was clothed with the 'holy garments' Aaron's undergarment was made of linen alone, as is clear from the following in Moses,

When Aaron comes into the sanctuary within the veil he shall put on the holy linen tunic, and the linen undergarment shall be over his flesh, and he shall gird himself with the linen belt, and place the linen turban on himself. These are holy garments. He shall also wash his flesh with water when he puts them on. He shall then first offer burnt offerings and sacrifices, by means of which he will expiate the holy place from uncleannesses. Leviticus 16:1-end.

[3] The reason why Aaron was to go at that time clothed in the linen garments, which were also called 'the holy garments', was that at that time he was performing the duty of expiating the tent, and also the people and himself from uncleannesses. And every expiation, which was accomplished by means of washings, burnt offerings, and sacrifices, represented purification of the heart from evils and falsities, and so represented regeneration; and purification from evils and falsities, or regeneration, is accomplished by means of the truths of faith. This was why Aaron wore the linen garments then, for the truths of faith are meant by 'linen garments', as stated above.

All purification from evils and falsities is accomplished by means of the truths of faith, see 2799, 5954 (end), 7044, 7918, 9089. So therefore is regeneration, 1555, 2046, 2063, 2979, 3332, 3665, 3690, 3786, 3876, 3877, 4096, 4097, 5893, 6247, 8635, 8638-8640, 8772, 9088, 9089, 9103.

[4] It was for the same reason also that the priest was to put on the linen robe and the linen undergarment when he carried the ash away from the altar, Leviticus 6:9-11, and also that 'the priests, the Levites, from the sons of Zadok' were to put it on, when they entered the sanctuary, regarding whom the following is stated in Ezekiel,

The priests, the Levites, the sons of Zadok, shall enter My sanctuary, and they shall draw near My table to minister to Me. When they enter the gates of the inner court they shall put on the linen garments, and no wool shall come upon them. When they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within, the linen turbans shall be on their heads, and the linen undergarments shall be over their loins. They shall not gird themselves with sweat. 2 Ezekiel 44:15-18.

The subject in this passage is the new temple, by which a new Church is meant. By 'the priests, the Levites' those guided by truths springing from good are meant, and by 'the linen garments' the truths of faith by means of which purification and regeneration are accomplished. 'Not girding themselves with sweat' means that the holy things of worship should not be mingled with the human self; for 'sweat' means the human self or proprium, and the human proprium is nothing but evil and falsity, 210, 215, 694, 874-876, 987, 1047, 3812 (end), 8480, 8941.

[5] The reason why the undergarment Aaron wore when he was clothed with the garments 'for glorious adornment' was made of linen together with fine twined linen, as is evident from Exodus 39:27-28, quoted above, was that Aaron in those garments represented the Lord in respect of Divine Good in the heavens, Aaron himself representing the Lord in respect of the Divine Celestial there, his garments the Lord in respect of the Divine Spiritual there emanating from the Divine Celestial, 9814, and fine linen the Divine Spiritual emanating from the Divine Celestial, 5319, 9469.

2. i.e. They must not wear garments that will make them sweat

5893. 'There have been two years of famine in the midst of the land' means states 1 when there is a lack of good in the natural mind. This is clear from the meaning of 'years' as states, dealt with in 487, 488, 493, 893; from the meaning of 'famine' as a lack of good (for 'bread' in the spiritual sense is the good of love, and 'food' is the good of truth, so that 'famine' or 'hunger' is a lack of good, while 'thirst' is a lack of truth); and from the meaning of 'in the midst of the land' - the land of Egypt - as the natural mind, dealt with in 5276, 5278, 5280, 5288, 5301. The expression 'in the midst' is used because the midst or middle is the inmost part, 1074, 2940, 2973. Where good resides. 'Two years' are states when good and truth exist joined together, since 'two' means a joining together, 5194; but in the present use of the expression a joining together that has not yet been effected is meant since they are 'two years of famine'.

[2] The implications of this are as follows: Truths must be present in the natural mind if good is to do its work, and those truths must be brought into it through an affection belonging to genuine love. Everything without exception in a person's memory has been brought into it through some love, and having become joined to that love remains in the memory. This also applies to the truths of faith; if they have been brought in through a love of truth, those truths become joined to and remain there with that love. Once they have become joined to it the following is then the situation: If the affection is evoked again, the truths that have been joined to it reappear at the same time; and if the truths are evoked again, the affection to which they have been joined reappears at the same time. This being so, when a person is being regenerated - which happens in adult life because he is unable before this to think for himself about the truths of faith - he is governed by angels sent by the Lord. They govern him by maintaining in him the truths which he has become convinced are truths, and by maintaining in him through those truths the affection to which they have been joined. And because that affection - an affection for truth - has its origin in good, he is then led step by step towards good.

[3] A considerable amount of experience has proved the truth of this to me. For I have noticed that when evil spirits have thrust evils and falsities at me, the angels from the Lord present at the time have maintained in me the truths implanted in me previously and have thereby withheld me from those evils and falsities. From this it has also been evident that the truths of faith which, through an affection for truth, have become rooted in me serve as a level into which angels can operate, so that people who do not have this level laid down in them cannot be led by angels but allow themselves to be led by hell. For without it the operation of the angels cannot become established anywhere and so passes away from them. That level for angels to operate into cannot however be acquired unless the truths of faith have been put into service and thus have been implanted in the person's will and through this in his life. It is also worth mentioning that when the operation of the angels into the truths of faith present with a person takes place, it is rarely plain to see, that is to say, so plain that thought about the truth operated into is aroused. Rather, a general notion of things in keeping with that truth, and the affection that goes with it, is produced. For that operation by the angels is effected by means of an imperceptible inflowing which, when a visual presentation of it is made, looks like an inflowing beam of light. That light is made up of countless truths present within good which focus on one particular truth known by a person and which, while they sustain the truth in him, also sustain the love that belongs to that truth. This is the way the angels raise a person's mind above falsities and protect it from evils. Yet the person is totally unaware of any of this.
