民數記 19

Studie

   

1 耶和華曉諭摩西亞倫

2 耶和華命定律法中的一條律例乃是這樣:你要吩咐以色列人,把一隻沒有殘疾、未曾負軛、純紅的母牽到你這裡來,

3 祭司以利亞撒;他必牽到外,人就把牛宰在他面前。

4 祭司以利亞撒要用指頭蘸這牛的血,向會幕前面彈次。

5 人要在他眼前把這母焚燒;、血、糞都要焚燒。

6 祭司要把香柏膝草、朱紅色線都丟在燒的火中。

7 祭司必不潔淨到晚上,要衣服,用身,然可以進

8 燒牛的人必不潔淨到晚上,也要衣服,用身。

9 必有一個潔淨的收起母的灰,存在外潔淨的地方,為以色列會眾調做除污穢的。這本是除的。

10 收起母灰的人必不潔淨到晚上,要洗衣服。這要給以色列人和寄居在他們中間的外人作為永遠的定例。

11 摸了人屍的,就必不潔淨。

12 那人到第三要用這除污穢的水潔淨自己,第七就潔淨了。他若在第三不潔淨自己,第七就不潔淨了。

13 凡摸了人屍、不潔淨自己的,就玷污了耶和華的帳幕,這人必從以色列中剪除;因為那除污穢沒有灑在他身上,他就為不潔淨,污穢還在他身上。

14 在帳棚裡的條例乃是這樣:凡進那帳棚的,和一切在帳棚裡的,都必不潔淨。

15 凡敞口的器皿,就是沒有紮上蓋的,也是不潔淨。

16 無論何人在田野裡摸了被刀殺的,或是屍首,或是人的骨頭,或是墳墓,就要不潔淨。

17 要為這不潔淨的人拿些燒成的除灰放在器皿裡,倒上活

18 必當有一個潔淨的拿牛膝草蘸在這中,把在帳棚上,和一切器皿並帳棚內的眾身上,又在摸了骨頭,或摸了被殺的,或摸了自的,或摸了墳墓的那身上。

19 第三和第七,潔淨的人要灑在不潔淨的人身上,第七就使他成為潔淨。那人要衣服,用洗澡,到晚上就潔淨了。

20 但那污穢而不潔淨自己的,要將他從會中剪除,因為他玷污了耶和華的聖所。除污穢的沒有灑在他身上,他是不潔淨的。

21 這要給你們作為永遠的定例。並且那除污穢的人要洗衣服。凡摸除污穢的,必不潔淨到晚上

22 不潔淨人所摸的一切物就不潔淨;摸了這物的人必不潔淨到晚上

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.
