1 "Prebivalište načini od deset zavjesa: od ljubičastog, crvenog i tamnocrvenog prediva i prepredenog lana. Na njima neka budu vezeni likovi kerubina - djelo umjetnika.

2 Dužina svake zavjese neka je dvadeset i osam lakata, neka joj je širina četiri lakta. Sve zavjese neka su iste mjere.

3 Pet zavjesa neka su sastavljene jedna s drugom, a drugih pet zavjesa opet jedna s drugom.

4 Napravi petlje od ljubičaste vune pri rubu krajnje zavjese u sastavljenom komadu.

5 Napravi pedeset petlji na rubu jednoga sastavljenog komada od zavjesa, a pedeset pri rubu drugoga. Neka su petlje načinjene jedna spram druge.

6 Onda napravi pedeset kopča od zlata. Zavjese zatim kopčama sastavi jednu s drugom. Tako će Prebivalište biti jedna cjelina.

7 Načini zatim zavjese od kostrijeti za Šator povrh Prebivališta. Načini ih jedanaest.

8 Neka duljina svake zavjese bude trideset lakata, a širina svake zavjese četiri lakta. Tih jedanaest zavjesa neka bude iste mjere.

9 Sastavi pet zavjesa napose, a onda opet drugih šest zavjesa napose. Šestu zavjesu podvostruči na pročelju Šatora.

10 Ušij pedeset petlji na rubu jednoga sastavljenog komada od zavjesa, a pedeset na rubu drugoga.

11 Izradi pedeset kopča od tuča, zapni kopče za petlje da sastaviš Šator u cjelinu.

12 A kako će zavjese od Šatora pretjecati, neka se polovina zavjesa što preostane spušta na zadnjem dijelu Prebivališta.

13 Od onoga što preteče na dužini šatorskih zavjesa neka po jedan lakat visi na obje strane svetoga Šatora da ga zaklanja.

14 Napokon napravi Šatoru pokrov od učinjenih i u crveno obojenih ovnujskih koža, a povrh njega pokrov od finih koža.

15 Trenice što će nauzgor stajati za Prebivalište napravi od bagremova drva.

16 Svaka trenica neka bude deset lakata duga, a lakat i pol široka.

17 Svaka trenica neka ima dva klina da je uspravno drže. Tako napravi na svakoj trenici za Prebivalište.

18 Trenice za Prebivalište postavi: dvadeset trenica s juga, prema podnevu;

19 onda pod dvadeset trenica napravi četrdeset podnožja od srebra, dva podnožja pod prvu trenicu za njezina dva klina, i tako redom, dva podnožja za dva klina svake slijedeće trenice.

20 Za drugu stranu Prebivališta, sa sjevera: dvadeset trenica

21 i četrdeset srebrnih podnožja, dva podnožja za dva klina prve trenice, i tako redom, dva podnožja za svaku trenicu.

22 Na stražnjoj strani Prebivališta, sa zapada, postavi šest trenica.

23 Napravi i dvije trenice za stražnje uglove Prebivališta.

24 Neka budu rastavljene pri dnu, ali na vrhu kod prvoga koluta neka budu sastavljene. Neka tako obadvije prave dva ugla.

25 Neka dakle bude osam trenica s njihovim srebrnim podnožjima: šesnaest podnožja, dva podnožja pod prvom trenicom, a dva opet podnožja pod svakom slijedećom trenicom.

26 Nadalje napravi priječnice od bagremova drva: pet njih za trenice s jedne strane Prebivališta,

27 a pet priječnica s druge strane Prebivališta; onda pet priječnica za trenice Prebivališta straga prema zapadu.

28 Srednja priječnica neka ide sredinom trenica s jednoga kraja na drugi.

29 Trenice obloži zlatom, a i kolutove za njih, kroz koje će se priječnice provlačiti, načini od zlata. Priječnice onda obloži zlatom.

30 Tako, dakle, podigni Prebivalište prema nacrtu koji ti je pokazan na brdu."

31 "Napravi zavjesu od ljubičastog, crvenog i tamnocrvenog prediva i prepredenog lana. Neka su na njoj izvezeni kerubini.

32 Objesi je na četiri stupa od bagremova drva, zlatom obložena, s kopčama od zlata, a na četiri podnožja od srebra.

33 Objesi zavjesu za kvake. Onda unesi Kovčeg svjedočanstva tu za zavjesu. Neka ti tako zavjesa odjeljuje Svetište od Svetišta nad svetištima.

34 Stavi Pomirilište na Kovčeg svjedočanstva u Svetinji nad svetinjama.

35 Postavi zatim stol van pred zavjesu, a svijećnjak na južnu stranu Prebivališta, prema stolu. stol stavi na sjevernu stranu.

36 A na ulazu u Šator napravi zastorak od ljubičastog, crvenog i tamnocrvenog prediva i prepredenog lana - vezom izvezen.

37 Za zastorak isteši pet stupčića od bagrenova drva pa ih obloži zlatom. Kopče za njih neka budu od zlata. Salij za njih pet podnožja od tuča."

9688. The work of the embroiderer. That this signifies matters of memory-knowledge, is evident from the signification of “the work of the embroiderer,” or of “embroidery,” as being memory-knowledge. In many passages in the Word mention is made of “what is embroidered,” and of “embroidery,” and everywhere is thereby signified memory-knowledge. This originates in the representatives in the other life, where embroidered garments of various kinds appear, by which are signified memory-truths.

[2] Such truths differ from intellectual truths as external things differ from internal, or as in man the natural differs from the spiritual; for memory-knowledges serve the understanding as objects from which it may hatch out truths. For the understanding is the organ of sight of the internal man, and memory-knowledges are the objects of the same in the external or natural man. These latter are signified by “the work of the embroiderer,” but the former by “the work of the thinker,” 1 for thinking belongs to the understanding, and “embroidering” denotes the work of one who knows and executes from the understanding. It is for this reason that those things in the Habitation which signified internal things were “from the work of the thinker,” 1 as for instance the curtains themselves therein (verse 1), and the veil between the holy and the holy of holies (verse 31); but those which signified what is external were “from the work of the embroiderer,” as for instance the covering for the door of the Tent, and for the gate of the court (Exodus 38:18), and also the belt (Exodus 39:29); for “the belt” denotes the external thing which conjoins all the internal things. “The court” denotes the ultimate of heaven, and “the door of the Tent” denotes where there is an exit from the middle heaven into the ultimate one.

[3] That “embroidery” and “what is embroidered” denote the memory-knowledge that belongs to the external or natural man, is evident from the following passages in the Word.

In Ezekiel:

Fine linen in embroidery from Egypt was thy spreading forth, blue and crimson from the isles of Elishah were thy covering. Syria was thy trader by reason of the multitude of thy works, with chrysoprase, crimson, and broidered work, and fine linen. The traders of Sheba with bales of blue and broidered work (Ezekiel 27:7, 16, 24);

treating of Tyre, by which are signified those who are in the knowledges of truth and of good, and in the abstract sense these knowledges themselves (n. 1201). By “fine linen in embroidery” is signified memory-truth, for “fine linen” denotes truth from a celestial origin (n. 5319, 9469), and “embroidery” denotes memory-knowledge; and therefore it is said to come “from Egypt,” because by “Egypt” is signified memory-knowledge (n. 1164, 1186, 1462, 2588, 4749, 4964, 4966, 5700, 5702, 6004, 6015, 6125, 6651, 6679, 6683, 6692, 6750, 7779, 9391); and also to come “from Syria” and” Sheba,” because by “Syria” is signified the knowledges of truth and of good (n. 1232, 1234, 3051, 3249, 3664, 3680, 4112), and in like manner by “Sheba” (n. 1171, 3240). The knowledges of truth and of good are the memory-knowledges of the church. Everyone who possesses the capacity of thinking intellectually, and of taking things into consideration, can see that in the above passage is not meant embroidery, nor fine linen, nor blue, nor crimson; but that by these things are signified such as are worthy of the Word, thus spiritual things that belong to heaven and the church.

[4] In the same:

All the princes of the sea shall come down from their thrones, and shall cast away their mantles, and put off their broidered garments; they shall be clothed with terrors (Ezekiel 26:16);

speaking here also of Tyre; “the princes of the sea” denote primary memory-knowledges, which are called dogmas (that “princes” denote primary things, see n. 1482, 2089, 5044; and “the sea” memory-knowledge in general, n. 28, 2850); “mantles” denote external truths; “embroideries” denote memory-truths, which are also external (that “garments” denote truths, see n. 2576, 4545, 4763, 5248, 5319, 5954, 6914, 6917, 6918, 9093, 9158, 9212, 9216).

[5] In the same:

I clothed thee with broidered work, and shod thee with badger; I girded thee about with fine linen, and covered thee with silk. Thus wast thou adorned with gold and silver; and thy garments were of fine linen, and silk, and broidered work. But thou hast taken the garments of thy broidered work, and hast covered images, with which thou didst commit whoredom (Ezekiel 16:10, 13, 16, 18);

speaking of Jerusalem, by which is signified the church; “garments of broidered work” denote memory-truths; “covering images with which whoredom was committed,” denotes to confirm falsities, for “committing whoredom” denotes to pervert truths by applying them to falsities or evils. Who does not see that by “fine linen,” “silk,” and “broidered work,” are not here meant fine linen, silk, and embroidered work? For the subject treated of is Jerusalem. But what is meant the Christian world does not inquire, because it places the celestial and spiritual things of the Word in its literal sense, and calls its interior ones mystical things that it does not care for.

[6] In the same:

A great eagle, with great wings, with long pinions, full of feathers, which had embroidery (Ezekiel 17:3);

speaking of the house of Israel, by which is signified the spiritual church, which is called an “eagle” from perception (n. 3901, 8764); its having “embroidery” denotes that it has memory-knowledge.

In David:

The King’s daughter is all glorious within; her garment is of interweavings of gold. She is brought unto the King in broidered work (Psalms 45:13-14); where “the King’s daughter” denotes the affection of truth, “broidered work” denotes the memory-knowledge of truth. In the book of Judges:

They shall divide the spoil, to Sisera a spoil of colors, a spoil of colors of embroidered work, the color of the broidered works on the necks of the spoil (Judg. 5:30).

The song of Deborah and Barak, where “broidered work” denotes the memory-knowledge which is of the natural man.
