民数记 27

Studie

   

1 属约瑟的儿子玛拿西的各族,有玛拿西的玄孙,玛吉的曾孙,基列的孙子,希弗的儿子西罗非哈的女儿,名叫玛拉、挪阿、曷拉、密迦、得撒。他们前来,

2 站在会幕口,在摩西和祭司以利亚撒,并众首领与全会众面前,

3 我们父亲旷野。他不与可拉同党聚集攻击耶和华,是在自己罪中的;他也没有儿子

4 为甚麽因我们父亲没有儿子就把他的名从他族中除掉呢?求你们在我们父亲的弟兄中分我们产业。

5 於是,摩西将他们的案件呈到耶和华面前。

6 耶和华晓谕摩西

7 西罗非哈的女儿得有理。你定要在他们父亲的弟兄中,把地分他们为业;要将他们父亲的产业归他们。

8 你也要晓谕以色列人死了没有儿子,就要把他的产业归给他的女儿。

9 他若没有女儿,就要把他的产业他的弟兄。

10 他若没有弟兄,就要把他的产业父亲的弟兄。

11 父亲若没有弟兄,就要把他的产业他族中最近的亲属,他便要得为业。这要作以色列人的律例典章,是照耶和华吩咐摩西的

12 耶和华摩西:你上这亚巴琳,观我所赐以色列人

13 了以後,你也必归到你列祖(原文作本民)那里,像你哥哥亚伦一样。

14 因为你们在寻的旷野,当会众争闹的时候,违背了我的命,没有在涌之地、会众眼前尊我为。(这就是寻的旷野加低斯米利巴。)

15 摩西耶和华

16 耶和华之灵的,立一个治理会众,

17 可以在他们面前出入,也可以引导他们,免得耶和华的会众如同没有牧人的羊群一般。

18 耶和华摩西:嫩的儿子约书亚是心中有圣灵的;你将他领来,按在他头上,

19 使他站在祭司以利亚撒和全会众面前,嘱咐他,

20 又将你的尊荣他几分,使以色列全会众都从他。

21 他要站在祭司以利亚撒面前;以利亚撒要凭乌陵的判断,在耶和华面前为他求问。他和以色列全会众都要遵以利亚撒的命出入。

22 於是摩西耶和华所吩咐的将约书亚领来,使他站在祭司以利亚撒和全会众面前。

23 在他头上,嘱咐他,是照耶和华摩西的话。

Tabernacle

  

In 1 Samuel 1:9, the tabernacle signifies the truth of faith with man. (Arcana Coelestia 2048)

A temple signifies the Lord's spiritual church; in a universal sense, the spiritual kingdom; in the highest sense, the Lord as to His Divine Truth. (Arcana Coelestia 3720)

In 1 Samuel 3:3, when the lamp had not been put out, and Samuel was sleeping in the tabernacle, this signifies that the extinction of truth in worship had not yet been fully accomplished. (Apocalypse Explained 403[18])

In Psalm 65:4, being satisfied with the goodness of the holy place of the temple signifies to be intelligent from divine truth, and to realize heavenly joy therefrom. (Apocalypse Explained 630[11])

In Revelation 21:22, that there is no temple in the New Jerusalem signifies that in that new church, the external worship will not be separate from internal. (Apocalypse Explained 918)

'The Tabernacle,' as in Revelation 13, signifies the church regarding doctrine and worship. 'The tabernacle' has almost the same meaning as 'temple,' that is, in the highest sense, the Lord's divine humanity, and in a relative sense, heaven and the church. But 'tabernacle' as heaven and the church signifies the celestial church, which is in the good of love from the Lord to the Lord, and 'temple,' the spiritual church, which is in the truths of wisdom from the Lord. 'The tabernacle' signifies the celestial kingdom, because the most ancient church, which was celestial, in a state of love to the Lord, performed divine worship in tabernacles. The ancient church, which was a spiritual church, performed divine worship in temples. Tabernacles were made of wood, and temples, stone. 'Wood' signifies good, and 'stone,' truth. Since the most ancient church, a celestial church, because of their love to the Lord, and resulting conjunction with Him, celebrated divine worship in tabernacles, so the Lord commanded Moses to build a tabernacle, which represented everything of heaven and the church. It was so holy, that it was not lawful for anyone to go into it, except Moses, Aaron, and his sons. If any of the people entered, they would die, as in Numbers 17:12-13, 18:1, 22, 23, and 19:14-19. The ark was in its center, which contained the two tables of the Decalogue, and was topped with the mercy seat and the cherubim. Outside of the veil, there were the table for the shew-bread, the altar of incense, and the candlestick with seven lamps. All of these things represented heaven and the church. The Tabernacle is described Exodus 26:7-16 and 36:8-37, and its design was shown to Moses on Mount Sinai, as in Exodus 25:9 and 26:30. Anything seen from heaven is representative of heaven, and so of the church. The feast of tabernacles was instituted in memory of the most holy worship of the Lord in tabernacles by the most ancient people, and of their conjunction with Him by love, as mentioned in Leviticus 23:39-44, Deuteronomy 16:13-14 and Zechariah 14:16-19.
