Studie

   

1 你要從以色列人中,使你的哥哥亞倫和他的兒子拿答、亞比戶、以利亞撒、以他瑪一同就近你,給我供祭司的職分。

2 你要給你哥哥亞倫衣為榮耀,為華美。

3 又要吩咐一切中有智慧的,就是我用智慧的靈所充滿的,給亞倫衣服,使他分別為,可以給我供祭司的職分。

4 所要做的就是胸牌、以弗得、外袍、雜色的內袍、冠冕、腰帶,使你哥哥亞倫和他兒子穿這服,可以給我供祭司的職分。

5 要用線和藍色紫色、朱紅色線,並細麻去做。

6 他們要拿線和藍色紫色、朱紅色線,並撚的細麻,用巧匠的手工做以弗得。

7 以弗得當有兩條帶,接上兩頭,使他相連。

8 其上巧工織的帶子,要和以弗得一樣的做法,用以束上,與以弗得接連一塊,要用線和藍色紫色、朱紅色線,並撚的細麻做成。

9 要取兩塊紅瑪瑙,在上面刻以色列兒子名字

10 名字在這塊寶上,名字在那塊寶上,都照他們生來的次序。

11 要用刻寶的手工,彷彿刻圖書,按著以色列兒子名字,刻這兩塊寶,要鑲在槽上。

12 要將這兩塊寶安在以弗得的兩條帶上,為以色列人紀念亞倫要在兩上擔他們的名字,在耶和華面前作為紀念

13 要用子做二槽,

14 又拿精,用擰工彷彿擰繩子,做兩條鍊子,把這擰成的鍊子搭在槽上。

15 你要用巧匠的手工做一個決斷的胸牌。要和以弗得一樣的做法:用線和藍色紫色、朱紅色線,並撚的細麻做成。

16 這胸牌要四方的,疊為兩層,長一虎口,寬一虎口。

17 要在上面鑲寶行:第行是紅寶、紅璧璽、紅玉;

18 第二行是綠寶石、藍寶石、金鋼石;

19 第三行是紫瑪瑙、白瑪瑙、紫晶;

20 第四行是水蒼玉、紅瑪瑙、碧玉。這都要鑲在槽中。

21 這些寶都要按著以色列十二個兒子名字,彷彿刻圖書,刻十二個支派的名字

22 要在胸牌上用精擰成如繩的鍊子。

23 在胸牌上也要做兩個,安在胸牌的兩頭。

24 要把那兩條擰成的鍊子,穿過胸牌兩頭的子。

25 又要把鍊子的那兩頭接在兩槽上,安在以弗得前面帶上。

26 要做兩個,安在胸牌的兩頭,在以弗得裡面的邊上。

27 又要做兩個,安在以弗得前面兩條帶的邊,挨近相接之處,在以弗得巧工織的帶子以上。

28 要用藍細帶子把胸牌的子與以弗得的子繫住,使胸牌貼在以弗得巧工織的帶子上,不可與以弗得離縫。

29 亞倫所的時候,要將決斷胸牌,就是刻著以色列兒子名字的,帶在胸前,在耶和華面前常作紀念

30 又要將烏陵和土明放在決斷的胸牌裡;亞倫進到耶和華面前的時候,要帶在胸前,在耶和華面前常將以色列人的決斷牌帶在胸前。

31 你要做以弗得的外袍,顏色全是藍的。

32 袍上要為留一領的周圍織出領邊來,彷彿鎧甲的領,免得破裂。

33 袍子周圍底邊上要用藍色紫色、朱紅色線做石榴。在袍子周圍的石榴中間要有鈴鐺:

34 一個鈴鐺一個石榴,一個鈴鐺一個石榴,在袍子周圍的底邊上。

35 亞倫供職的時候要穿這袍子。他進所到耶和華面前,以及出的時候,袍上的響聲必被見,使他不至於亡。

36 你要用精做一面牌,在上面按刻圖書之法刻著歸耶和華

37 要用一條藍細帶子將牌繫在冠冕的前面。

38 這牌必在亞倫的額上,亞倫要擔當干犯物條例的罪孽;這物是以色列人在一切的禮物上所分別為的。這牌要常在他的額上,使他們可以在耶和華面前蒙悅納。

39 要用雜色細麻線織內袍,用細麻布做冠冕,又用繡花的手工做腰帶。

40 你要為亞倫的兒子做內袍、腰帶、裹頭巾,為榮耀,為華美。

41 要把這些給你的哥哥亞倫和他的兒子穿戴,又要他們,將他們分別為,好給我供祭司的職分。

42 要給他們做細麻布褲子,遮掩下體;褲子當從腰達到大腿

43 亞倫和他兒子進入會幕,或就,在所供職的時候必穿上,免得擔罪而。這要為亞倫和他的裔作永遠的定例。

Apocalypse Revealed # 814

814. 19:8 And it was granted her to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright. This symbolically means that those who will belong to the Lord's New Church are being instructed through the Word by the Lord in truths that are genuine and pure.

Being granted to her means to the wife, who symbolizes the Lord's New Church, namely, the New Jerusalem, as in no. 813 just above. To be arrayed means, symbolically, to be instructed in truths, inasmuch as garments symbolize truths (no. 166), and white garments genuine truths (no. 212). Fine linen, clean and bright, symbolically means glistening as a result of goodness, and pure as a result of truths. And because there is no pure truth from any other source than from the Lord through the Word, therefore this, too, is symbolically meant.

The fine linen is said to be clean and bright because cleanliness symbolizes something that is free of evil, thus something that glistens as a result of goodness, and brightness symbolizes something that is free of falsity, thus something pure as a result of truth.

Fine linen, or something made of fine linen, symbolizes genuine truth also in the following passages:

I clothed you (O Jerusalem) in embroidered cloth..., I clothed you with fine linen and covered you with silk... Thus you were adorned with gold and silver, and your clothing was of fine linen and silk... (Ezekiel 16:10, 13)

Fine linen with embroidery from Egypt was your sail. (Ezekiel 27:7)

The latter is said of Tyre, which symbolizes the church in respect to concepts of truth and goodness.

The hosts in heaven followed Him on white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. (Revelation 19:14)

Pharaoh's clothing Joseph "in garments of fine linen" (Genesis 41:42) has the same symbolic meaning.

Truth from the Word in their possession, though not internalized by them, is symbolized by the fine linen in Babylon in Revelation 18:12, 16, and by that possessed by the rich man in Luke 16:19.

Fine linen is also called cotton, so that this, too, symbolizes genuine truth, in the following:

You shall make (for Aaron) a checkered tunic of cotton, and you shall make the turban of cotton... (Exodus 28:39)

They made tunics of cotton... for Aaron and his sons... (Exodus 39:27)

You shall make the tabernacle... cotton interwoven with blue, purple, and scarlet double-dyed. (Exodus 26:1, cf. 36:8)

You shall make... hangings for the court of woven cotton... (Exodus 27:9, cf. 27:18; 38:9)

Also the screen... of the court...(with) woven cotton. (Exodus 38:18)
