1 وكلم الرب موسى قائلا.

2 كلم بني اسرائيل ان يأخذوا لي تقدمة. من كل من يحثّه قلبه تأخذون تقدمتي.

3 وهذه هي التقدمة التي تاخذونها منهم. ذهب وفضة ونحاس

4 واسمانجوني وارجوان وقرمز وبوص وشعر معزى

5 وجلود كباش محمّرة وجلود تخس وخشب سنط

6 وزيت للمنارة واطياب لدهن المسحة وللبخور العطر

7 وحجارة جزع وحجارة ترصيع للرداء والصدرة.

8 فيصنعون لي مقدسا لاسكن في وسطهم.

9 بحسب جميع ما انا أريك من مثال المسكن ومثال جميع آنيته هكذا تصنعون

10 فيصنعون تابوتا من خشب السنط طوله ذراعان ونصف وعرضه ذراع ونصف وارتفاعه ذراع ونصف.

11 وتغشّيه بذهب نقي. من داخل ومن خارج تغشّيه. وتصنع عليه اكليلا من ذهب حواليه.

12 وتسبك له اربع حلقات من ذهب وتجعلها على قوائمه الاربع. على جانبه الواحد حلقتان وعلى جانبه الثاني حلقتان.

13 وتصنع عصوين من خشب السنط وتغشّيهما بذهب.

14 وتدخل العصوين في الحلقات على جانبي التابوت ليحمل التابوت بهما.

15 تبقى العصوان في حلقات التابوت. لا تنزعان منها.

16 وتضع في التابوت الشهادة التي اعطيك.

17 وتصنع غطاء من ذهب نقي طوله ذراعان ونصف وعرضه ذراع ونصف.

18 وتصنع كروبين من ذهب. صنعة خراطة تصنعهما على طرفي الغطاء.

20 ويكون الكروبان باسطين اجنحتهما الى فوق مظلّلين باجنحتهما على الغطاء ووجههما كل واحد الى الآخر. نحو الغطاء يكون وجها الكروبين.

21 وتجعل الغطاء على التابوت من فوق. وفي التابوت تضع الشهادة التي اعطيك.

22 وانا اجتمع بك هناك واتكلم معك من على الغطاء من بين الكروبين اللذين على تابوت الشهادة بكل ما اوصيك به الى بني اسرائيل

27 عند الحاجب تكون الحلقات بيوتا لعصوين لحمل المائدة.

28 وتصنع العصوين من خشب السنط وتغشّيهما بذهب. فتحمل بهما المائدة.

29 وتصنع صحافها وصحونها وكاساتها وجاماتها التي يسكب بها. من ذهب نقي تصنعها.

30 وتجعل على المائدة خبز الوجوه امامي دائما

31 وتصنع منارة من ذهب نقي. عمل الخراطة تصنع المنارة قاعدتها وساقها. تكون كاساتها وعجرها وازهارها منها.

32 وست شعب خارجة من جانبيها. من جانبها الواحد ثلاث شعب منارة. ومن جانبها الثاني ثلاث شعب منارة.

648. As for numbers and measurements in the Word meaning celestial and spiritual things, this becomes quite clear from the measuring of the New Jerusalem and of the Temple in John and Ezekiel. It may become clear to anyone that the 'New Jerusalem' and the 'New Temple' mean the Lord's kingdom in heaven and on earth, and that the Lord's kingdom in heaven and on earth is not subject to earthly measurements, even though the size of it - its length, breadth, and height - is specified numerically. From this anyone may conclude that numbers and measurements mean things that are holy, as in John,

I was given a measuring rod like a staff, and the angel stood and said to me, Rise and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and those who worship in it. Revelation 11:1.

And concerning the New Jerusalem,

The wall of the heavenly Jerusalem was great and high, having twelve gates, and above the gates twelve angels, and names written which are those of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel; on the east three gates, on the north three gates, on the south three gates, and on the west three gates. The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them the twelve names of the apostles of the Lamb. He who talked to me had a golden measuring-rod to measure the city, and its gates, and its wall. The city lies four-square, and its length is the same as its breadth. He therefore measured the city with the measuring rod, twelve thousand stadia; its length and breadth and height were equal. He measured its wall, a hundred and forty-four cubits, which is the measure of a man, that is, of an angel. Revelation 21:12-17.

[2] Here the number twelve occurs repeatedly. It is a very holy number since it means the holy things of faith, as has been stated above at verse 3 of this chapter, and in the Lord's Divine mercy will be shown at Genesis 29, 30. Hence also the comment added at the end of the quotation set out above about this measure being 'the measure of a man, that is, of an angel'. The same applies with the New Temple and the New Jerusalem in Ezekiel, which are also described according to their measurements, Chapter 40:3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13-14, 22, 25, 30, 36, 42, 47; Ezekiel 41:1-end; 42:5-15; Zechariah 2:1-2. There also, regarded in themselves the numbers mean nothing but celestial and spiritual holiness independent of actual numbers. The same applies to all the numbers giving the dimensions of the Ark, Exodus 25:10, and similarly of the mercy seat, the golden table, the Tabernacle, the altar, Exodus 25:17, 23; Exodus 26; 27:1; and to all the numbers and dimensions of the Temple, 1 Kings 6:2-3, and many other examples.

Genesis 29

Studie

   

1 Then Jacob went on his journey, and came to the land of the children of the east.

2 He looked, and behold, a well in the field, and, behold, three flocks of sheep lying there by it. For out of that well they watered the flocks. The stone on the well's mouth was large.

3 There all the flocks were gathered. They rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again on the well's mouth in its place.

4 Jacob said to them, "My relatives, where are you from?" They said, "We are from Haran."

5 He said to them, "Do you know Laban, the son of Nahor?" They said, "We know him."

6 He said to them, "Is it well with him?" They said, "It is well. See, Rachel, his daughter, is coming with the sheep."

7 He said, "Behold, it is still the middle of the day, not time to gather the livestock together. Water the sheep, and go and feed them."

8 They said, "We can't, until all the flocks are gathered together, and they roll the stone from the well's mouth. Then we water the sheep."

9 While he was yet speaking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep, for she kept them.

10 It happened, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban, his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban, his mother's brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother.

11 Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.

12 Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's brother, and that he was Rebekah's son. She ran and told her father.

13 It happened, when Laban heard the news of Jacob, his sister's son, that he ran to meet Jacob, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. Jacob told Laban all these things.

14 Laban said to him, "Surely you are my bone and my flesh." He lived with him for a month.

15 Laban said to Jacob, "Because you are my brother, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what will your wages be?"

16 Laban had two daughters. The name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.

17 Leah's eyes were weak, but Rachel was beautiful in form and attractive.

18 Jacob loved Rachel. He said, "I will serve you seven years for Rachel, your younger daughter."

19 Laban said, "It is better that I give her to you, than that I should give her to another man. Stay with me."

20 Jacob served seven years for Rachel. They seemed to him but a few days, for the love he had for her.

21 Jacob said to Laban, "Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her."

22 Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.

23 It happened in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him. He went in to her.

24 Laban gave Zilpah his handmaid to his daughter Leah for a handmaid.

25 It happened in the morning that, behold, it was Leah. He said to Laban, "What is this you have done to me? Didn't I serve with you for Rachel? Why then have you deceived me?"

26 Laban said, "It is not done so in our place, to give the younger before the firstborn.

27 Fulfill the week of this one, and we will give you the other also for the service which you will serve with me yet seven other years."

28 Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week. He gave him Rachel his daughter as wife.

29 Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah, his handmaid, to be her handmaid.

30 He went in also to Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.

31 Yahweh saw that Leah was hated, and he opened her womb, but Rachel was barren.

32 Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she named him Reuben. For she said, "Because Yahweh has looked at my affliction. For now my husband will love me."

33 She conceived again, and bore a son, and said, "Because Yahweh has heard that I am hated, he has therefore given me this son also." She named him Simeon.

34 She conceived again, and bore a son. Said, "Now this time will my husband be joined to me, because I have borne him three sons." Therefore was his name called Levi.

35 She conceived again, and bore a son. She said, "This time will I praise Yahweh." Therefore she named him Judah. Then she stopped bearing.
