Leviticus 4

1 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens :

2 Loquere filiis Israël : Anima, quæ peccaverit per ignorantiam, et de universis mandatis Domini, quæ præcepit ut non fierent, quippiam fecerit :

3 si sacerdos, qui unctus est, peccaverit, delinquere faciens populum, offeret pro peccato suo vitulum immaculatum Domino :

4 et adducet illum ad ostium tabernaculi testimonii coram Domino, ponetque manum super caput ejus, et immolabit eum Domino.

5 Hauriet quoque de sanguine vituli, inferens illum in tabernaculum testimonii.

6 Cumque intinxerit digitum in sanguine, asperget eo septies coram Domino contra velum sanctuarii.

7 Ponetque de eodem sanguine super cornua altaris thymiamatis gratissimi Domino, quod est in tabernaculo testimonii : omnem autem reliquum sanguinem fundet in basim altaris holocausti in introitu tabernaculi.

8 Et adipem vituli auferet pro peccato, tam eum qui vitalia operit quam omnia quæ intrinsecus sunt :

9 duos renunculos et reticulum quod est super eos juxta ilia, et adipem jecoris cum renunculis,

10 sicut aufertur de vitulo hostiæ pacificorum : et adolebit ea super altare holocausti.

11 Pellem vero et omnes carnes, cum capite et pedibus et intestinis et fimo,

12 et reliquo corpore, efferet extra castra in locum mundum, ubi cineres effundi solent : incendetque ea super lignorum struem, quæ in loco effusorum cinerum cremabuntur.

13 Quod si omnis turba Israël ignoraverit, et per imperitiam fecerit quod contra mandatum Domini est,

14 et postea intellexerit peccatum suum, offeret pro peccato suo vitulum, adducetque eum ad ostium tabernaculi.

15 Et ponent seniores populi manus super caput ejus coram Domino. Immolatoque vitulo in conspectu Domini,

16 inferet sacerdos, qui unctus est, de sanguine ejus in tabernaculum testimonii,

17 tincto digito aspergens septies contra velum.

18 Ponetque de eodem sanguine in cornibus altaris, quod est coram Domino in tabernaculo testimonii : reliquum autem sanguinem fundet juxta basim altaris holocaustorum, quod est in ostio tabernaculi testimonii.

19 Omnemque ejus adipem tollet, et adolebit super altare :

20 sic faciens et de hoc vitulo quomodo fecit et prius : et rogante pro eis sacerdote, propitius erit eis Dominus.

21 Ipsum autem vitulum efferet extra castra, atque comburet sicut et priorem vitulum : quia est pro peccato multitudinis.

22 Si peccaverit princeps, et fecerit unum e pluribus per ignorantiam, quod Domini lege prohibetur :

23 et postea intellexerit peccatum suum, offeret hostiam Domino, hircum de capris immaculatum.

24 Ponetque manum suam super caput ejus : cumque immolaverit eum loco ubi solet mactari holocaustum coram Domino, quia pro peccato est,

25 tinget sacerdos digitum in sanguine hostiæ pro peccato, tangens cornua altaris holocausti, et reliquum fundens ad basim ejus.

26 Adipem vero adolebit supra, sicut in victimis pacificorum fieri solet : rogabitque pro eo sacerdos, et pro peccato ejus, et dimittetur ei.

27 Quod si peccaverit anima per ignorantiam, de populo terræ, ut faciat quidquam de his, quæ Domini lege prohibentur, atque delinquat,

28 et cognoverit peccatum suum, offeret capram immaculatam.

29 Ponetque manum super caput hostiæ quæ pro peccato est, et immolabit eam in loco holocausti.

30 Tolletque sacerdos de sanguine in digito suo : et tangens cornua altaris holocausti, reliquum fundet ad basim ejus.

31 Omnem autem adipem auferens, sicut auferri solet de victimis pacificorum, adolebit super altare in odorem suavitatis Domino : rogabitque pro eo, et dimittetur ei.

32 Sin autem de pecoribus obtulerit victimam pro peccato, ovem scilicet immaculatam :

33 ponet manum super caput ejus, et immolabit eam in loco ubi solent cædi holocaustorum hostiæ.

34 Sumetque sacerdos de sanguine ejus digito suo, et tangens cornua altaris holocausti, reliquum fundet ad basim ejus.

35 Omnem quoque adipem auferens, sicut auferri solet adeps arietis, qui immolatur pro pacificis, cremabit super altare in incensum Domini : rogabitque pro eo, et pro peccato ejus, et dimittetur ei.

Apocalypse Explained #366

366. That they should slay one another, signifies the falsification or extinction of truths. This is evident from the signification of "slaying," as meaning the extinction of truths; for "to slay" in the Word signifies to slay spiritually, that is, to slay the spiritual part of a man or his soul, which is to extinguish truths. It also means to falsify, because when truths are falsified they are also extinguished; for falsification produces a different understanding of truths, and truth is true to everyone according to his understanding of it; for the love and principle that rule in man draw and apply all things to themselves, even truths themselves; consequently when the love is evil, or the principle is false, then truths are infected with the evil of the love or the falsity of the principle, and thus are extinguished. This, therefore, is what is here signified by "they should slay one another." That this takes place when there is no good with man, and especially when there is no good in the doctrine of his church, is evident from the preceding words, where it is said, "When he had opened the second seal there went forth a red horse; and to him that sat upon him it was given to take peace from the earth;" which signifies a second state of the church when the understanding of the Word is destroyed in respect to good, which is the source of dissensions in the church (of which see above, n. 361, 364, 365).

[2] That the understanding of the Word, or what is the same, the understanding of the truth, is destroyed when there is no good with man, that is, when there is no love to the Lord and charity towards the neighbor, may be seen above n. 365; for good with man, or what is the same, love with him, is the fire of his life, and truth with him, or the faith of truth, is the light therefrom; consequently such as the good is, or such as the love is in man, such is truth, or such the faith of truth in him. From this it can be seen that when evil or an evil love is with man there can be no truth or faith of truth with him; for the light that goes forth from such fire is the light that those have who are in hell, which is a fatuous light like the light from burning coals, which light, when light from heaven flows in, is turned into mere thick darkness. Such also is the light that with the evil, when they reason against the things of the church, is called natural light [lumen].

[3] That they would falsify and thereby extinguish truths is meant also by the Lord's words in Matthew:

Jesus said to the disciples, The brother shall deliver up the brother, the father the son; children shall rise up against parents, and cause them to be put to death (Matthew 10:21).

And in Luke:

Ye shall be delivered up by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolk, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death (Luke 21:16).

"Parents," "brethren," "children," ["kinsfolk, "] and "friends," do not mean here parents, brethren, children, kinsfolk, friends, nor do "disciples" mean disciples, but the goods and truths of the church, also evils and falsities; it is also meant that evils would extinguish goods and falsities truths. (That such is the signification of these words, see Arcana Coelestia 10490.)
