Studie

   

1 Jahve reče Mojsiju:

2 "Reci Izraelcima da me darivaju, a vi primajte darove u moju čast od svakoga koji daje od srca.

3 A primajte ove darove: zlato, srebro i tuč;

4 ljubičasto, crveno i tamnocrveno predivo i prepredeni lan;

5 učinjene ovnujske kože, pa fine kože; bagremovo drvo;

6 ulje za svjetlo; mirodije za ulje pomazanja i miomirisno kađenje;

7 oniks i drugo drago kamenje koje će se umetnuti u oplećak i naprsnik.

8 Neka mi sagrade Svetište da mogu boraviti među njima.

9 Pri gradnji Prebivališta i svega u njemu postupi točno prema uzorku koji ti pokažem."

10 "Od bagremova drva neka naprave Kovčeg: dva i po lakta dug, lakat i po širok i lakat i po visok.

11 Okuj ga čistim zlatom, okuj ga izvana i iznutra; a oko njega stavi naokolo završni pojas od zlata.

12 Salij za nj četiri zlatna koluta; prikuj ih za četiri njegove noge; dva koluta s jedne strane, a dva s druge.

13 Od bagremova drva napravi i motke te ih u zlato okuj.

14 Onda provuci motke kroz kolutove sa strana Kovčega da se na njima Kovčeg nosi.

15 Neka motke ostanu u kolutima Kovčega; neka se iz njih ne izvlače.

16 Svjedočanstvo koje ću ti predati - u Kovčeg položi."

17 "Pomirilište napravi također od čistoga zlata. Neka bude dugo dva i pol lakta, a široko lakat i pol.

18 Skuj i dva kerubina od zlata za oba kraja Pomirilišta.

19 Napravi jednoga kerubina za jedan kraj, a drugoga kerubina za drugi kraj. Pričvrsti ih na oba kraja Pomirilišta da s njim sačinjavaju jedan komad.

20 Kerubini neka dignu svoja krila uvis tako da svojim krilima zaklanjaju Pomirilište. Neka budu licem okrenuti jedan prema drugome, ali tako da lica kerubina gledaju u Pomirilište.

21 Stavi na Kovčeg Pomirilište, a u Kovčeg položi ploče Svjedočanstva što ću ti ih dati.

22 Tu ću se ja s tobom sastajati i ozgo ću ti, iznad Pomirilišta - između ona dva kerubina što su na Kovčegu ploča Svjedočanstva - saopćavati sve zapovijedi namijenjene Izraelcima."

23 "Napravi od bagremova drva stol dva lakta dug, lakat širok, a lakat i pol visok.

24 U čisto ga zlato obloži i načini mu naokolo završni pojas od zlata.

25 Naokolo mu načini obrub, podlanicu širok, a onda po obrubu stavi završni pojas od zlata.

26 Nadalje, uspravi mu četiri koluta od zlata pa mu ih pričvrsti na njegova četiri nožna ugla.

27 Neka su kolutovi tik pod obrubom da služe kao kvake motkama za nošenje stola.

28 Motke napravi od bagremova drva i u zlato ih okuj. O njima će se stol nositi.

29 Za nj onda napravi: zdjele, varjače, vrčeve i pehare za izlijevanje prinosa. Načini ih od čistoga zlata.

30 Na stol svagda stavljaj pred moje lice prineseni kruh."

31 "Načini svijećnjak od čistoga zlata. svijećnjak neka bude skovan. Njegovo podnožje, njegov stalak, njegove čaše, čaške i latice - sve neka bude od jednoga komada.

32 Šest krakova neka mu izbija sa strana: tri kraka s jedne strane stalka, a tri kraka s druge strane stalka.

33 Na jednome kraku neka budu tri čaše u obliku bademova cvijeta, svaka s čaškom i laticama. Tako za svih šest krakova što budu izbijali iz stalka svijećnjaka.

34 Na samome svijećnjaku neka budu četiri čaše u obliku bademova cvijeta, svaka s čaškom i laticama.

35 Čaška ispod dva kraka, sačinjavajući jedan komad s njime; onda čaška ispod druga dva kraka, od jednoga komada s njime, pa čaška ispod dva posljednja kraka, od jednoga komada s njime. Tako za svih šest krakova što iz stalka budu izbijali.

36 Njihove čaške i njihovi krakovi sačinjavat će jedan komad s njim - sve skovano u jednome komadu od čistoga zlata.

37 Napravi i sedam svjetiljaka za njih. Svjetiljke neka tako budu postavljene da osvjetljuju prostor sprijeda.

38 Usekači i pepeljare za njih neka su od čistoga zlata.

39 Upotrijebi talenat čistoga zlata za svijećnjak i sav njegov pribor.

40 Pazi! Načini ih prema uzorku koji ti je na brdu pokazan."

9473. Oil for the luminary. That this signifies the internal good which is in mutual love and in charity, is evident from the signification of “oil,” as being the good of love (see n. 886, 4582, 4638); and from the signification of “the luminary,” as being mutual love and charity. That “the luminary” denotes mutual love, is from its flame, by which this love is signified; and that it denotes charity, is from the heat and light from it; for spiritual heat is the good of charity, and spiritual light is the truth of faith.

[2] It shall here be briefly stated what is meant by the internal good in mutual love, and in charity. Nothing comes forth from itself, but from what is prior to itself. This is the case also with truth and good. That from which another thing comes forth is internal; and that which comes forth is its external. Each and all things that come forth are like cause and effect. No effect can come forth without an efficient cause. The efficient cause is the internal of the effect, and the effect is its external. They are also like endeavor and motion. No motion can come forth without endeavor, insomuch that when the endeavor ceases the motion ceases. Wherefore the internal of motion is endeavor, or moving force. The case is similar with living endeavor, which is will; and with living motion, which is action. No action can come forth without will, insomuch that when will ceases action ceases; and therefore the internal of action is will. From all this it is evident that in each and all things there must be an internal, in order that they may come forth, and that they may afterward subsist; and that without an internal they are not anything.

[3] So also it is with the good which is of love; unless there is an internal good in it, it is not good. The internal good in the good of faith is the good of charity, which is spiritual good; but the internal good in the good of charity is the good of mutual love, which is external celestial good; and the internal good in the good of mutual love is the good of love to the Lord, which is the good of innocence; and this good is internal celestial good. But the internal good in the good of love to the Lord, that is, in the good of innocence, is the good Divine itself that proceeds from the Divine Human of the Lord, and consequently it is the Lord Himself. This last good must be in all good, in order that it may be good; and therefore there is not any good unless its internal is from this source; for unless its internal is from this source, it is not good but evil, because it is from the man himself, and that which proceeds from man is evil; for man regards himself in all the good that he does, and also regards the world, and thus not the Lord nor heaven. If the Lord and heaven are thought of by him, they are to him as means to serve his own honor and his own profit. Consequently these goods are like whited sepulchers, which outwardly appear beautiful; but inwardly are full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness (Matthew 23:27, 29).
