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)

6344. And the beginning of my forces. That this signifies that through it is the first power in truth, is evident from the signification of the “beginning of forces,” as being the first power; and as “forces” are predicated of truth, it is the first power in truth that is signified, in like manner as in Isaiah:

Jehovah giveth strength to the wearied one, and to him that hath no forces He multiplieth power (Isaiah 40:29); where “strength” is predicated of good, and “forces” of truth, and “power” of both. How it is to be understood that through faith there is power in good, and the first power in truth, which is signified by “Reuben, my firstborn, thou art my strength, and the beginning of my forces,” shall be briefly told. All the power in the spiritual world is from good through truth. Without good, truth has no power whatever, for truth is like a body, and good is like the soul of this body, and in order that the soul may do anything, it must be by means of the body. Hence it is plain that truth without good has no power whatever, just as the body without the soul has no power; for the body is then a carcass, and so also is truth without good.

[2] When the faith of truth through good is first born, the power appears to be in truth. This power is what is called the “first power in truth through faith,” and is signified by the “beginning of forces,” as also elsewhere in the Word where “birthright” is treated of; as in David:

He smote all the firstborn in Egypt, the beginning of forces in the tents of Ham (Psalms 78:51).

And in another place:

He smote all the firstborn in their land, the beginning of all their forces (Psalms 105:36).

Also in Deuteronomy:

He shall acknowledge the firstborn son of the hated one, to give him two parts of all that shall be found for him; in that he is the beginning of his forces, the right of the birthright is his (Deuteronomy 21:17).

[3] As by the “firstborn” is signified in the genuine sense the good that is of charity, but in the sense according to the appearance the truth that is of faith (see n. 3325, 4925, 4926, 4928, 4930), and as these two are the foundations of the church, therefore by the ancients the firstborn was called the “strength of the father, and the beginning of his forces.” That such was the signification is plainly evident from the fact that every firstborn belonged to Jehovah or the Lord, and that in the stead of all the firstborn the tribe of Leviticus was accepted and the priesthood given to it.

[4] Scarcely anyone in this world can know what is the nature of the power that is in truth from good; but it is known to those who are in the other life; thus by revelation thence. They who are in truth from good, that is, in faith from charity, are in power through truth from good. In this power are all the angels, and from this the angels are called in the Word “powers;” for they are in the power of restraining evil spirits, one angel being able to restrain a thousand all at once. They exercise their power chiefly when with man, in defending him at times against many hells, and this in a thousand and a thousand ways.

[5] They have this power by means of the truth that is of faith from the good that is of charity; but as they have their faith from the Lord, it is the Lord alone who is the power in them. This power which is through faith from the Lord is meant by the Lord’s words to Peter:

Upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give thee the keys of the kingdom of the heavens, and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in the heavens, and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in the heavens (Matthew 16:18-19).

This was said to Peter, because by him was represented faith (see preface to Genesis 22, andalso3750, 4738, 6000, 6073); and by “Peter,” wherever in the Word he is called “Peter,” as here, is signified in the internal sense, faith, and in the supreme sense the Lord as to faith.
