1 你要用皂荚做一座烧香的

2 这坛要四方的,长一肘,宽一肘,二肘;坛的四角要与坛接连一块。

3 要用精把坛的上面与坛的四围,并坛的四角,包裹;又要在坛的四围镶上牙边。

4 要做两个安在牙子边以,在坛的两旁,两根横撑上,作为穿杠的用处,以便抬坛。

5 要用皂荚做杠,用包裹。

6 要把坛放在法柜前的幔子外,对着法柜上的施恩座,就是我要与你相会的地方。

7 亚伦在坛上要烧馨料做的;每早晨他收拾的时候,要烧这

8 黄昏的时候,他要在耶和华面前烧这香,作为世世代常烧的香。

9 在这坛上不可奉上异样的香,不可献燔祭、素祭,也不可浇上奠祭。

10 亚伦一年一次要在坛的角上行赎罪之礼。他一年一次要用赎罪祭牲的血在坛上行赎罪之礼,作为世世代的定例。这坛在耶和华面前为至

11 耶和华晓谕摩西

12 你要按以色列人被数的,计算总数,你数的时候,他们各要为自己的生命把赎价奉耶和华,免得数的时候在他们中间有灾殃。

13 凡过去归那些被数之人的,每人要按所的平,拿银子半舍客勒;这半舍客勒是奉耶和华的礼物(一舍客勒二十季拉)。

14 凡过去归那些被数的人,从二十岁以外的,要将这礼物奉耶和华

15 他们为赎生命将礼物奉耶和华,富足的不可多出,贫穷的也不可少出,各人要出半舍客勒

16 你要从以色列人收这赎罪,作为会幕的使用,可以在耶和华面前为以色列人纪念,赎生命。

17 耶和华晓谕摩西

18 你要用铜做濯盆和盆座,以便濯。要将盆放在会幕的中间,在盆里盛

19 亚伦和他的儿子要在这盆里

20 他们进会幕,或是就前供职给耶和华献火祭的时候,必用濯,免得亡。

21 他们就免得亡。这要作亚伦和他後裔世世代永远的定例。

22 耶和华晓谕摩西

23 你要取上品的香料,就是流质的没药五舍客勒,肉桂一半,就是二五十舍客勒,菖蒲二五十舍客勒,

24 桂皮五舍客勒,都按着所的平,又取橄榄

25 按做香之法调和做成

26 要用这油抹会幕和法柜,

27 桌子桌子的一切器具,台和台的器具,并香

28 祭坛,和的一切器具,洗濯盆和盆座。

29 要使这些物成为,好成为至;凡挨着的都成为

30 亚伦和他的儿子,使他们成为,可以给我供祭司的职分。

31 你要对以色列人:这,我要世世代以为

32 不可倒在别人的身上,也不可按这调和之法做与此相似的。这膏油是的,你们也要以为

33 凡调和与此相似的,或将这膏膏在别身上的,这要从民中剪除。

34 耶和华吩咐摩西:你要取馨香料,就是拿他弗、施喜列、喜利比拿;这馨香料和净乳各样要一般大的分量。

35 你要用这些加上盐,按做香之法做成清净圣洁的香。

36 这香要取点捣得极细,放在会幕内、法柜前,我要在那里与你相会。你们要以这香为至

37 你们不可按这调和之法为自己做香;要以这香为,归耶和华

38 凡做和这一样,为要香味的,这要从民中剪除。

10286. 'The man who makes an ointment like it' means imitations of Divine things produced by [human] cunning. This is clear from the meaning of 'making that which is like it' as imitating it; and from the meaning of 'ointment' as Divine Truths which are the Lord's alone and come from the Lord alone, dealt with above in 10264. The reason why imitations produced by [human] cunning is meant is that all imitation of Divine things by a person is a product of that cunning. The nature of all this may be recognized from what has been stated and shown above in 10284; but further light may be shed on it by certain things that go on among spirits. Those of them who attribute everything to fortune and their own prudence and nothing to the Divine, as they did in the world, know how to employ various methods to imitate Divine things. They can produce palaces almost like those in the heavens; they can produce views containing plantations of trees and open countryside very similar to those the Lord provides for good spirits; they can adorn themselves with brilliant garments, indeed sirens can make themselves appear in almost angelic beauty. But all this is the product of a cunning that involves the use of delusions. Yet all those things which they can do, however much they may seem to outward appearance to be similar, are inwardly foul. This is also revealed instantly by the Lord to good spirits, for unless it were revealed they would be led astray. The outward appearance is taken away, and when this has been taken away the devilish interior is exposed. It is taken away by the shedding of light from heaven, which disperses the feeble light that accompanies delusions and that those spirits rely on to produce such imitations. From all this one may recognize what the imitation of Divine things that is a product of [human] cunning is like. But things done in reliance on the Lord are inwardly heavenly; and the more interior they are, the more heavenly they are; for Divine things increase in perfection the more and more internal they are, so much so that finally they possess perfection and beauty that are beyond description.

[2] The situation is similar with the imitation of what is good and true by those who lead an evil life. Those of them who know how to make a pretence of good affections and of some form of charity towards the neighbour and love to God, and together with those affections talk about and proclaim the truths of faith seemingly from the heart, dwell in a similar feeble and delusive light. When therefore the outward appearance which makes a pretence of those inner things is taken away, the hellish nature lying within, which is nothing but evil and the falsity of evil, is revealed. And at the same time the fact that such evil constitutes their love, and the falsity of that evil their faith, is in like manner presented to view. From all this it is again evident what imitating Divine things by means of human endeavour is, dealt with above in 10284.
