Он содержит много параллелей с другими ритуалами Пятикнижия, в первую очередь с ритуалами Дня Искупления и ритуалами очищения от «проказы», но имеет и множество уникальных черт – сама рыжая телица, ритуальное убийство животного вне стана, ритуальное использование пепла, очищение прикоснувшегося в мертвому, нечистота принимающих участие в ритуале. В христианской традиции почти все восприятие этого обряда строилось на аллегорическом его понимании через призму Евр 9:13–14, где пепел телицы сравнивается с кровью Христа. Однако, на наш взгляд, этот ритуал является достаточно значимым для автора Послания к Евреям и занимает важное место в его обширном ритуально-храмовом языке. Он использует несколько косвенных отсылок к обряду с рыжей телицей и тесно связанному с ним очищению от «проказы», и обращается не к простой аллегории, а к глубокой образности, построенной на смешении различных ритуалов с учетом их богословской значимости. Включение ритуалов очищения от нечистоты, и особенно ритуала с рыжей телицей в храмовую образность Послания, позволяет автору глубже раскрыть важность жертвы Христа. Оно также важно и для демонстрации нового типа понимания сакрального и устранения материальных объектов из религиозного мышления христиан в противопоставлении как иудаизму Второго Храма, так и другим формам религозного сознания, современных автору Послания к Евреям. В этой статье мы анализируем сам ритуал в Книге Чисел (LXX), его восприятие в традиции и в научной литературе, отражение в Послании к Евреям и его роль в аргументации автора Послания.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The ritual of the red heifer described in Numbers 19 is one of the most difficult to interpret and was therefore of particular interest to Jewish commentators. It has many parallels with other rituals in the Pentateuch, especially the rituals of the Day of Atonement and the rituals of cleansing from “leprosy”, but it also has many unique features – the red heifer itself, the ritual killing of the animal outside the camp, the ritual use of the ashes, the purification of the one who touches the dead, the impurity of those who participate in the ritual. In the Christian tradition, almost all perceptions of this rite have been based on its allegorical understanding through the prism of Hebrews 9:13-14, where the ashes of the heifer are compared to the blood of Christ. However, we believe that this ritual is of great significance to the author of Hebrews and occupies an important place in his extensive ritualtemporal language. He makes several indirect references to the ritual of the red heifer and the closely related purification from “leprosy”, using not a simple allegory but a profound imagery based on a blending of different rituals, taking into account their theological significance. The inclusion rituals of purification from impurity, and in particular the ritual of the red heifer in the temple imagery of the Hebrews allows the writer of Hebrews to reveal more deeply the meaning of Christ’s sacrifice. It is also important in demonstrating a new type of understanding of the sacred and the elimination of material objects from Christian religious thought, in contrast to both Second Temple Judaism and other forms of religious consciousness contemporary with the author of the Hebrews. In this article we analyze the ritual itself in the Book of Numbers (LXX), its perception in tradition and in scholarly literature, its reflection in Hebrews, and its role in the argumentation of the author of Hebrews.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Послание к Евреям</kwd><kwd>Книга Чисел</kwd><kwd>рыжая телица</kwd><kwd>ритуальная нечистота</kwd><kwd>ритуальное очищение</kwd><kwd>кропление</kwd><kwd>смешение ритуалов</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Hebrews</kwd><kwd>Book of Numbers</kwd><kwd>red heifer</kwd><kwd>ritual impurity</kwd><kwd>ritual cleansing</kwd><kwd>sprinkling</kwd><kwd>blending of rituals</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="ru">Статья подготовлена при грантовой поддержке фонда «Современное Естествознание» в рамках проекта «Лаборатория ненужных вещей».</funding-statement><funding-statement xml:lang="en">The article is prepared with the grant support of The Fund of innovative science and education programs “Modern science education” within the framework of the Laboratory of Unnecessary Things project.</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Андерсон 2018 – Андерсон К.Л.
