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.

1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

2 "Speak to the children of Israel, that they take an offering for me. From everyone whose heart makes him willing you shall take my offering.

5 rams' skins dyed red, sea cow hides, acacia wood,

6 oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense,

7 onyx stones, and stones to be set for the ephod and for the breastplate.

8 Let them make me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them.

9 According to all that I show you, the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all of its furniture, even so you shall make it.

10 "They shall make an ark of acacia wood. Its length shall be two and a half cubits, its breadth a cubit and a half, and a cubit and a half its height.

11 You shall overlay it with pure gold. You shall overlay it inside and outside, and you shall make a gold molding around it.

12 You shall cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in its four feet. Two rings shall be on the one side of it, and Two rings on the other side of it.

13 You shall make poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold.

14 You shall put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark to carry the ark.

15 The poles shall be in the rings of the ark. They shall not be taken from it.

16 You shall put the testimony which I shall give you into the ark.

17 You shall make a mercy seat of pure gold. Two and a half cubits shall be its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth.

18 You shall make two cherubim of hammered gold. You shall make them at the two ends of the mercy seat.

19 Make one cherub at the one end, and one cherub at the other end. You shall make the cherubim on its two ends of one piece with the mercy seat.

20 The cherubim shall spread out their wings upward, covering the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces toward one another. The faces of the cherubim shall be toward the mercy seat.

21 You shall put the mercy seat on top of the ark, and in the ark you shall put the testimony that I will give you.

22 There I will meet with you, and I will tell you from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim which are on the ark of the testimony, all that I command you for the children of Israel.

23 "You shall make a table of acacia wood. Two cubits shall be its length, and a cubit its breadth, and one and a half cubits its height.

24 You shall overlay it with pure gold, and make a gold molding around it.

25 You shall make a rim of a handbreadth around it. You shall make a golden molding on its rim around it.

26 You shall make four rings of gold for it, and put the rings in the four corners that are on its four feet.

27 the rings shall be close to the rim, for places for the poles to carry the table.

28 You shall make the poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold, that the table may be carried with them.

29 You shall make its dishes, its spoons, its ladles, and its bowls to pour out offerings with. You shall make them of pure gold.

30 You shall set bread of the presence on the table before me always.

31 "You shall make a lampstand of pure gold. Of hammered work shall the lampstand be made, even its base, its shaft, its cups, its buds, and its flowers, shall be of one piece with it.

32 There shall be six branches going out of its sides: three branches of the lampstand out of its one side, and three branches of the lampstand out of its other side;

33 three cups made like almond blossoms in one branch, a bud and a flower; and three cups made like almond blossoms in the other branch, a bud and a flower, so for the six branches going out of the lampstand;

34 and in the lampstand four cups made like almond blossoms, its buds and its flowers;

35 and a bud under two branches of one piece with it, and a bud under two branches of one piece with it, and a bud under two branches of one piece with it, for the six branches going out of the lampstand.

36 Their buds and their branches shall be of one piece with it, all of it one beaten work of pure gold.

37 You shall make its lamps seven, and they shall light its lamps to give light to the space in front of it.

38 Its snuffers and its snuff dishes shall be of pure gold.

39 It shall be made of a talent of pure gold, with all these accessories.

40 See that you make them after their pattern, which has been shown to you on the mountain.
