1 I Gospod reče Mojsiju govoreći:

2 Reci sinovima Izrailjevim da mi skupe prilog: od svakog koji drage volje da, uzmite prilog meni.

3 A ovo je prilog što ćete uzimati od njih, zlato i srebro i bronzu,

4 I porfiru i skerlet i crvac i tanko platno i kostret,

5 I kože ovnujske crvene obojene, i kože jazavičije, i drvo sitim,

6 Ulje za videlo, mirise za Ulje pomazanja i za mirisavi kad,

7 Kamenje onihovo i Kamenje za ukivanje na oplećak i naprsnik.

8 I neka mi načine svetinju, da među njima nastavam;

9 Kao što ću ti pokazati sliku od šatora i sliku od svih stvari njegovih, tako da načinite.

10 Neka načine kovčeg od drveta sitima, u dužinu od dva lakta i po, a u širinu od podrug lakta, i u visinu od podrug lakta.

11 I pokuj ga čistim zlatom, iznutra i spolja pokuj ga; i ozgo mu načini zlatan venac unaokolo.

12 I salij mu četiri biočuga od zlata, i metni mu ih na četiri ugla, da mu s jedne strane budu dva biočuga i s druge strane dva biočuga.

13 I načini poluge od drveta sitima, i okuj ih u zlato.

14 I provuci poluge kroz biočuge s obe strane kovčegu, da se o njima nosi kovčeg;

15 U biočuzima na kovčegu neka stoje poluge, da se ne vade iz njih.

16 Pa u kovčeg metni svedočanstvo, koje ću ti dati.

17 I načini zaklopac od čistog zlata, u dužinu od dva lakta i po, a u širinu od podrug lakta.

18 I načini dva heruvima zlatna, jednostavne ih načini, na dva kraja zaklopcu.

19 I načini heruvima jednog na jednom kraju a drugog heruvima na drugom kraju; na zaklopcu načinite dva heruvima na oba kraja.

20 I neka heruvimi rašire krila u vis da zaklanjaju krilima zaklopac, i neka budu licem okrenuti jedan drugom, prema zaklopcu neka su okrenuta lica heruvimima.

21 I metnućeš zaklopac ozgo na kovčeg, a u kovčeg ćeš metnuti svedočanstvo koje ću ti dati.

22 I tu ću se sastajati s tobom i govoriću ti ozgo sa zaklopca između dva heruvima, koji će biti na kovčegu od svedočanstva, sve što ću ti zapovedati za sinove Izrailjeve.

23 Načini i sto od drveta sitima, u dužinu od dva lakta, a u širinu od jednog lakta, a u visinu od podrug lakta.

24 I pokuj ga čistim zlatom, i načini mu venac zlatan unaokolo.

25 I načini mu oplatu unaokolo s podlanice, i načini zlatan venac oko oplate.

26 I načini mu četiri biočuga od zlata, i metni mu te biočuge na četiri ugla koji će mu biti kod četiri noge.

27 Pod oplatom neka budu biočuzi, da u njima stoje poluge da se nosi sto.

28 A poluge načini od drveta sitima, i okuj ih zlatom da se o njima nosi sto.

29 I načini mu zdele i čaše i vedra i kotliće, kojima će se prelivati, a načinićeš ih od čistog zlata.

30 I metaćeš na sto hlebove, da su postavljeni svagda preda mnom.

31 I načini svećnjak od čistog zlata, jednostavan neka bude svećnjak; stup i grane i čašice, jabuke, i cvetovi neka budu u njega.

32 A šest grana neka mu izlazi sa strana, tri grane s jedne strane svećnjaka a tri grane s druge strane svećnjaka.

33 Tri čašice kao badem neka budu na jednoj grani i jabuka i cvet, i Tri čašice kao badem i jabuka i cvet na drugoj grani; tako neka bude na šest grana što izlaze iz svećnjaka.

34 I na samom svećnjaku neka budu četiri čašice kao badem i jabuke i cvetovi.

35 Jedna jabuka pod dve grane što izlaze iz njega, i jedna jabuka pod druge dve grane što izlaze iz njega, i jedna jabuka pod druge dve grane što izlaze iz njega; tako će biti pod šest grana što će izlaziti iz svećnjaka;

36 Jabuke i grane njihove iz njega neka izlaze; sve jednostavno od čistog zlata.

37 I načinićeš mu sedam žižaka, i palićeš ih da svetle sa svake strane;

38 I usekači i spremice za gar neka budu od čistog zlata.

39 Od talanta čistog zlata neka bude načinjen sa svim tim spravama.

40 I gledaj, te načini sve ovo po slici koja ti je pokazana na gori.

9514. And the cherubs shall spread out their wings upward. That this signifies the elevation effected by the truth of faith, is evident from the signification of “wings,” as being the truths of faith (of which in what follows); and from the signification of “spreading out the wings upward,” as being to be elevated; for in the spreading out of the wings upward there is the endeavor to elevate one’s self, the act of which is elevation. From this it is plain that by “the wings of the cherubs being spread out upward” is signified the elevation of good to the Lord by means of the truths of faith; for by “the cherubs” is signified approach to Him through good. It shall here be briefly stated how the case is with the elevation of good by means of the truths of faith. There are two things to which all things in heaven, and also all things in the world, bear relation, namely, good and truth. Good without truth is not good, and truth without good is not truth; for good without truth has no quality, and truth without good has no being; for truth is the very form of good, and there must be form in order that there may be quality; and good is that very being the manifestation [existere] of which is truth.

[2] Good is to truth exactly as the will is to the understanding, for the will has been allotted to the reception of good, and the understanding to the reception of truth. The will receives its quality from the understanding, and the understanding its being from the will; for the will is formed in the understanding, and thus puts on quality. Good also is to truth as the body is to the arms and feet, and in the case of flying creatures, as the body is to the wings. A body without arms and feet, or without wings, cannot move itself, but with their aid it moves itself. Moreover, in the Word the body corresponds to good, and the arms and wings to truths, and also to the powers of good through truths. From these comparisons, which are also correspondences, it may be known how the case is with the elevation of good by means of the truths of faith, which in general are called “spiritual” things. (That “wings” denote the truths of faith has been shown in n. 8764)

3387. Because he feared to say, She is my woman; lest the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah. That this signifies that He could not open Divine truths themselves, because thus Divine good would not be received, is evident from the signification of “fearing to say,” as being not to be able to open; from the signification of “woman,” who here is Rebekah, as being the Lord’s Divine rational as to Divine truth (n. 3012, 3013, 3077); from the signification of “slaying me,” as being that good is not received, for by Isaac, who here is “me,” is represented the Divine good of the Lord’s rational (n. 3012, 3194, 3210), for good is said to be slain, or to perish, when it is not received, because with him who does not receive it, it is nullified; and from the signification of the “men of the place,” as being those who are in the doctrinal things of faith (n. 3385). From all this it now appears what is the internal sense of these words, namely, that if Divine truths themselves were to be opened, they would not be received by those who are in the doctrinal things of faith, because they surpass all their rational apprehension, thus all their belief, and consequently nothing of good from the Lord could flow in. For good from the Lord, or Divine good, can inflow solely into truths, because truths are the vessels of good, as often shown.

[2] Truths or appearances of truth are given man to the intent that Divine good may be able to form his understanding, and thus the man himself. For truths exist to the end that good may flow in; for without vessels or receptacles good finds no place, because it finds no state corresponding to itself; and therefore where there are no truths, or where they are not received, there is no rational or human good, consequently the man has no spiritual life. In order therefore that man may nevertheless have truths, and thereby have spiritual life, appearances of truth are given to everyone according to his apprehension; which appearances are acknowledged as truths, because they are such that Divine things can be in them.

[3] In order that it may be known what appearances are, and that they are such things as serve man instead of truths Divine, let us take examples for illustration. If it should be said that in heaven there is no idea of place, thus none of distance, but that instead of these there are ideas of state, this could not possibly be apprehended by man, for this would cause him to believe that there nothing is distinct, but that everything is confused, that is, all in one, or together; when yet all things there are so distinct that nothing can be more so. (That the places, distances, and spaces, which exist in nature, are in heaven states, may be seen above, n. 3356.) Hence it is manifest that whatever is said in the Word concerning places and spaces, and from them and by means of them, is an appearance of truth; and unless it were said by means of such appearances, it would not be received at all, consequently would be scarcely anything; for so long as he is in the world, that is, in space and time, the idea of space and of time is within almost everything of man’s thought, both in general and in particular.

[4] That the language of the Word is according to appearances of space appears from almost everything in it; as in Matthew:

Jesus asked them saying, How then doth David say, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit Thou on My right hand till I make Thine enemies Thy foot stool (Matthew 22:43-44)

where to “sit on the right hand” comes from the idea of place, thus according to appearance, when nevertheless what is here described is the state of the Lord’s Divine power. Again:

Jesus said, Henceforth ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming upon the clouds of heaven (Matthew 26:64);

here in like manner “sitting on the right hand,” and also “coming upon the clouds,” are derived from the idea of place with men; but with angels the idea is of the Lord’s power.

In Mark:

The sons of Zebedee said to Jesus, Grant unto us that we may sit, one on Thy right hand, and the other on Thy left hand, in Thy glory. Jesus answered, To sit on My right hand, and on My left, is not Mine to give, except to those for whom it hath been prepared (Mark. 10:37, 40).

From this it is manifest what sort of an idea the disciples had concerning the Lord’s kingdom, namely, that it was to sit on His right hand and on His left; and because they had such an idea, the Lord also answered them according to their apprehension, thus according to what appeared to them.

[5] In David:

He is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run his course. His going forth is from the end of the heavens and His circuit unto the ends of it (Psalms 19:5-6);

speaking of the Lord, whose state of Divine power is here described by such things as are of space.

In Isaiah:

How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the dawning! Thou saidst in thine heart, I will ascend into the heavens, I will exalt my throne above the stars of heaven; 1 I will ascend above the heights of the cloud (Isaiah 14:12-14); where “falling from heaven,” “ascending into the heavens,” “exalting the throne above the stars of heaven,” “ascending above the heights of the cloud,” all of which are expressions descriptive of the love of self profaning holy things, are all derived from the idea and appearance of space or place. Inasmuch as celestial and spiritual things are presented before man by means of such things as appear to men, and in accordance with such things, therefore heaven is also described as being on high, when yet it is not on high, but is in what is internal (n. 450, 1380, 2148).

1. The Hebrew is “stars of God;” and so Swedenborg renders the expression in n. 257, 3708, 5313, 7375, 8678, and other places. The present reading therefore may be a slip of the pen, yet it is found also in Apocalypse Explained 1029, and 1108.
