Izlazak 27

Studie

   

1 "Načini žrtvenik od bagremova drva, pet lakata dug, pet lakata širok - prava četvorina - i tri lakta visok.

2 Na njegova četiri ugla načini rogove. Neka mu rogovi budu u jednome komadu s njim. I tučem ga okuj.

3 Dalje, načini za žrtvenik posude za zgrtanje otpadaka: strugače, kotliće, viljuške i kadionike. Sve potrepštine za žrtvenik načini od tuča.

4 Onda načini za nj rešetku od tuča, u obliku mrežice,

5 a na četiri ugla mrežicu ispod izbočine žrtvenika, tako da zahvati do sredine žrtvenika.

6 Napravi zatim motke za žrtvenik, motke od bagremova drva, pa ih tučem okuj.

7 Neka se motke provuku kroz kolutove, tako da dođu na obje strane žrtvenika kad se nosi.

8 Načini ga šuplja, od dasaka: kako ti je pokazano na brdu, onako neka je i napravljen."

9 "Napravi i dvorište Prebivališta. Na južnoj strani napravi zavjese od prepredenog lana, sto lakata u dužinu s te strane.

10 Njihovih dvadeset stupova neka stoji na dvadeset podnožja od tuča i neka imaju kopče i šipke od srebra.

11 Isto tako za sjevernu stranu načini plahte sto lakata duge. Njihovih dvadeset stupova i dvadeset podnožja od tuča, ali kopče i šipke neka su od srebra.

12 Širini dvorišta sa zapadne strane trebat će zavjese pedeset lakata duge, sa deset stupova i deset podnožja.

13 Širina dvorišta prema istočnoj strani neka bude pedeset lakata.

14 Nadalje, zavjese s jedne strane vrata neka su petnaest lakata duge, sa svoja tri stupa i njihova tri podnožja.

15 A s druge strane neka su zavjese opet petnaest lakata, sa svoja tri stupa i njihova tri podnožja.

16 Za dvorišni ulaz: vezen zastor od dvadeset lakata, od ljubičastog, crvenog i tamnocrvenog prediva i prepredenog lana; i sa svoja četiri stupa i njihova četiri podnožja.

17 Svi stupovi naokolo dvorišta neka su povezani srebrnim šipkama. Neka su im kopče od srebra, a podnožja od tuča.

18 Neka je dvorište u duljinu sto lakata, u širinu pedeset, a u visinu pet lakata. Neka su mu plahte od prepredenog lana, podnožja od tuča.

19 Sve potrepštine u Prebivalištu za opću upotrebu i svi njegovi kočići, a tako i kočići u dvorištu, neka su od tuča."

20 "Nadalje, naredi Izraelcima da ti za svjetlo donose čistoga ulja od istupanih maslina, tako da svjetlo neprestano gori.

21 Aron i njegovi sinovi neka ga postavljaju u Šator sastanka izvan zavjese što zaklanja Svjedočanstvo da gori pred Jahvom od večeri do jutra. Neka je to neopoziva naredba za izraelske naraštaje."

9494. 'And put them on [its] four corners' means firmness. This is clear from the meaning of 'corners' as strength and firmness, the reason why this is meant by 'corners' being that the greatest resistance [to pressure] resides there, and also the whole is bonded together there. Because 'corner' means strength and firmness such as Divine Truth derived from Divine Good possesses, the Lord is called 'the corner-stone': In David,

The stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner. Psalms 118:22; Matthew 21:42.

And in Zechariah,

From Judah will be the corner-stone, from him the tent-peg, and from him the battle-bow. Zechariah 10:4.

Also in Isaiah,

The Lord Jehovih will lay in Zion a stone for a foundation, a tested stone, a precious corner-stone, surely founded. Isaiah 28:16.

In these places 'corner' in like manner stands for the firmness of teachings which consist of truth that is derived from good.

[2] In Jeremiah,

Nor are they to take from you a stone for a corner, or a stone for foundations. Jeremiah 51:26.

Because firmness is meant by 'corners' horns were placed on the four corners of the altar, regarding which the following is stated in Moses,

You shall make the horns of the altar on its four corners; its horns shall be of one piece with it. 1 Exodus 27:2.

'The horns' are the power of truth derived from good, thus its strength and firmness, see 2832, 9081.

[3] 'The corners' again means strength and power in Jeremiah,

Fire has gone out of Heshbon, which has devoured the corners of Moab. Jeremiah 48:45.

And in Moses,

A star will arise out of Jacob, and a sceptre rise up out of Israel, which will crush the corners of Moab. Numbers 24:17.

'Moab', whose power was going to be destroyed, stands for those who adulterate the Church's forms of good, 2468, their 'corners' standing for the power of falsity that results from the adulterated forms of good. Since power and strength are meant by 'the corners' those who lack the power of truth derived from good are called the cut off of the corner, 2 Jeremiah 9:26; 25:23. What the meaning is when 'corners' refers to the four quarters or winds, see below in 9642.

Poznámky pod čarou:

1. literally, shall be from (or out of) it

2. This expression is generally thought to mean men whose hair is cut in a particular way. Another understanding of it is those in a remote corner of the desert or on the edge of civilization.
