Izlazak 25

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."

9481. According to all that I show thee, the form of the Habitation. That this signifies a representative of heaven where the Lord is, is evident from the signification of “the form of the Habitation,” as being a representative of heaven; for a “form” denotes a representative, and “the Habitation” denotes heaven. That a “form” denotes a representative, is because the Divine things in the heavens are also presented to view in a form. These visible things are representatives. (That “the Habitation” denotes heaven where the Lord is, see n. 8269, 8309.) The nature of the representatives that appear in heaven is evident from the prophets; as from John in Revelation; the lampstands (Revelation 1:12); a throne with four and twenty thrones around it, and four animals before the throne (Revelation 4:2, and following verses); a book sealed with seven seals (Revelation 5); horses going forth when the seals were opened (chap. 6); angels variously arrayed, with vials (Revelation 9:0-10:0, 15) a white horse (Revelation 19); and lastly the New Jerusalem, of which the walls, gates, foundation, and its height, breadth, and length are described (Revelation 21:0-22:0). There are similar things in other prophets.

[2] All these things are representatives such as continually appear before the angels in the heavens, and present in a visible form the Divine celestial things that belong to the good of love, and the Divine spiritual things that belong to the good of faith. The sum total of such things was represented by the tabernacle and the things that were in it; as by the ark itself; by the table on which were the breads; by the altar of incense; by the lampstand; and by all other things. As these things were forms of Divine celestial and spiritual things, therefore when they were seen by the people at the time they were in holy worship, there were then presented in heaven the things that were represented; which as before said were the Divine celestial things that belong to the good of love to the Lord, and the Divine spiritual things that belong to the good of faith in the Lord. Such an effect in heaven had all the representatives of that church. Be it known that there are always spirits and angels with man, and that he cannot live without them; in like manner that through them man has connection with the Lord, and that in this way the human race and also heaven subsist. From this it can be seen to what end the representatives and also the rituals of the church were instituted among the Israelitish nation; also to what end the Word was given, wherein all things of the literal sense correspond to Divine things which are in heaven; thus wherein all the things are representative, and all the words significative. From this, man has connection with heaven, and through heaven with the Lord. Without this connection man would have no life whatever, for without connection with the very Being of Life from whom comes all the manifestation of life, no one has any life.

[3] But these things are not apprehended by those who believe that life is in man himself; and that he lives independently of spirits or angels; thus without any influx through heaven from the Divine; when yet everything unconnected with the Divine perishes and becomes nothing; and nothing can possibly exist without what is prior to itself, thus without the Divine, which is the First, and the Very Being from Itself, that is, Jehovah; and consequently neither can it subsist, for to subsist is to perpetually come forth. As the “Habitation” signifies heaven where the Lord is, it also signifies the good of love and of faith, for these make heaven; and because all good is from the Lord, and heaven is called heaven from love and faith in the Lord, therefore also in the supreme sense the “Habitation” signifies the Lord; as is plain in Isaiah 63:15; Jeremiah 25:30; Ezekiel 37:26-27; Psalms 26:8; 43:3; 90:1; 91:9; Exodus 15:13; Deuteronomy 12:5 places. From this it is evident that the tabernacle was called “the sanctuary,” and “the Habitation of Jehovah,” because of this representation.
