Izlazak 28

Studie

   

1 "A onda dovedi k sebi između Izraelaca svoga brata Arona zajedno s njegovim sinovima: Nadabom, Abihuom, Eleazarom i Itamarom da mi služe kao svećenici.

2 Napravi svome bratu Aronu sveto ruho na čast i ukras.

3 Obrati se svim vještacima koje sam obdario mudrošću neka naprave haljine Aronu da bi se posvetio i vršio svećeničku službu u moju čast.

4 Neka ovu odjeću naprave: naprsnik, oplećak, ogrtač, košulju resama obrubljenu, mitru i pas; neka naprave svetu odjeću za tvoga brata Arona i njegove sinove da mi služe kao svećenici.

5 Stoga neka oni primaju zlato, ljubičasto, crveno i tamnocrveno predivo i prepredeni lan."

6 "Oplećak neka naprave od zlata, od ljubičastog, crvenog i tamnocrvenog prediva i od prepredenog lana - vješto izrađen.

7 Neka na njemu budu dvije poramenice, pričvršćene za njegove krajeve.

8 Tkanica što bude na njemu neka je napravljena kao i on: od zlata, od ljubičastog, crvenog i tamnocrvenog prediva i od prepredenog lana, a neka s njim sačinjava jedan komad.

9 Zatim uzmi dva draga kamena oniksa i u njih ureži imena Izraelovih sinova:

10 šest njihovih imena na jednome dragom kamenu, a preostalih šest imena na drugome dragom kamenu, prema njihovu rođenju.

11 Kao što rezbar dragulja urezuje pečate na prstene, tako ti ureži imena Izraelovih sinova. Oko njih navezi zlatan obrub,

12 pa pričvrsti oba draga kamena za poramenice oplećka da budu spomen-dragulji na Izraelove sinove. Tako neka Aron nosi njihova imena o svoja dva ramena pred Jahvom da ih se sjeća.

13 Načini zlatne okvire

14 i dva lančića od čistoga zlata. Načini ih kao zasukane uzice i onda zasukane lančiće pričvrsti za okvire."

15 "Naprsnik za presuđivanje izradi umjetnički; izvedi to kao i posao na oplećku: od zlata, od ljubičastog, crvenog i tamnocrvenog prediva i od prepredenog lana.

16 Neka bude četvorinast i dvostruk; jedan pedalj neka mu je duljina, a pedalj širina.

17 Na njemu poredaj četiri reda dragulja. U prvome redu neka bude: rubin, topaz i alem;

18 u drugome redu: smaragd, safir i ametist;

19 u trećem redu: hijacint, ahat i ledac;

20 a u četvrtom redu: krizolit, oniks i jaspis. Neka budu ukovani u zlatne okvire.

21 Tih dragulja neka bude dvanaest, koliko i imena Izraelovih sinova. Neka budu urezani kao i pečati na prstenju, svaki s imenom jednoga od dvanaest plemena.

22 Napravi za naprsnik lančiće od čistoga zlata, zasukane kao uzice.

23 Zatim napravi za naprsnik dva kolutića od zlata i pričvrsti ih na dva gornja ugla naprsnika.

24 Onda priveži dvije zlatne uzice za ta dva kolutića koja budu pričvršćena za uglove naprsnika.

25 Druga dva kraja uzica priveži za dva okvira. Sad ih tako pričvrsti za poramenice oplećka sprijeda.

26 Napravi dva kolutića od zlata pa ih pričvrsti za dva donja ugla naprsnika, uz rub iznutra koji je okrenut prema oplećku.

27 Napravi još dva kolutića od zlata i pričvrsti ih za donji, prednji kraj poramenice oplećka, uz njegov šav povrh tkanice oplećka.

28 Neka se naprsnik sveže za svoje kolutiće s kolutićima oplećka vrpcom od modroga grimiza, tako da naprsnik stoji iznad tkanice i da se ne može odvajati od oplećka.

29 Neka tako Aron, kada god ulazi u Svetište, na svome srcu nosi imena sinova Izraelovih na naprsniku za presuđivanje da ih uvijek doziva u sjećanje pred Jahvom.

30 U naprsnik za presuđivanje neka se stave i 'Urim' i 'Tumim' da i oni budu na Aronovu srcu kad bude dolazio pred Jahvu. Tako neka Aron uvijek na svom srcu pred Jahvom nosi presudu sinova Izraelovih."

31 "Ogrtač za oplećak sav napravi od ljubičastog prediva.

32 Prorez za glavu na njemu neka bude na sredini. Rub naokolo proreza neka bude opšiven kao ovratnik na oklopu, tako da se ogrtač ne podere.

33 Na njegovu rubu sve naokolo načini šipke od ljubičastog, crvenog i tamnocrvenog prediva, a između njih zvonca od zlata naokolo;

34 zlatno zvonce pa šipak, zlatno zvonce pa šipak naokolo ogrtača uz rub.

35 Neka budu na Aronu dok vrši službu, da se čuje kad ulazi u Svetište pred Jahvu i kad izlazi; tako neće umrijeti."

36 "Napravi potom jednu ploču od čistoga zlata i na njoj ureži, kao što se urezuje na pečatnom prstenu: 'Jahvi posvećen'.

37 Za mitru je priveži modrom vrpcom da stoji s pročelja mitre.

38 Neka stoji na Aronovu čelu. Tako neka Aron na se preuzme nedostatke koji bi mogli okaljati sve svete prinose što ih Izraelci posvećuju. Neka uvijek stoji na njegovu čelu da za njih stječe blagonaklonost Jahvinu.

39 Košulju s resama napravi od lana, od lana napravi i mitru, a pas vezom izvezi.

40 I za Aronove sinove napravi haljine, pasove i turbane, njima na čast i ukras.

41 U njih odjeni svoga brata Arona i njegove sinove; onda ih pomaži, ispuni im ruke vlašću i posveti ih da mi služe kao svećenici.

42 Napravi za njih gaćice od lana da im pokriju golo tijelo. Neka sežu od bedara do stegna.

43 Neka ih nosi Aron i njegovi sinovi kad ulaze u Šator sastanka ili kad se primiču žrtveniku za službu u Svetištu da ne navuku na se krivnju i umru. To neka bude vječna naredba za nj i za njegovo potomstvo poslije njega."

Tent

  

'The tent,' as in Exodus 26:14, represented the three heavens, and so the celestial and spiritual parts of the Lord's kingdom.

A 'Tent' signifies the celestial and holy aspects of love, because in ancient times people performed holy worship in their tents.

When they began to profane tents with profane worship, the tabernacle was built, and later the temple. This is why the tabernacle and the temple signify the same as 'tent.'

A holy man was therefore called a tent, a tabernacle, and a temple of the Lord. In the highest sense, the Lord regarding His human essence, is a tent, a tabernacle, and a temple. Every celestial person is called these things, and so every thing celestial and holy has acquired these names.

This is why the feast of tabernacles was instituted, when they gathered in the produce of the earth, as a remembrance of those earlier holy times, and it was ordained, that at this feast they should live in tabernacles, like the most ancient people, as in Leviticus 23:39-44, Deuteronomy 16:13, and Hosea 12:9.

414. 'Dwelling in a tent' means the holiness of love. This is clear from the meaning of 'tents' in the Word, as in David,

O Jehovah, who will sojourn in Your tent? Who will dwell on Your holy mountain! He who walks blameless and performs righteousness, and speaks the truth in his heart. Psalms 15:1-2.

Here the holy things of love, which are 'walking blameless and performing righteousness' are described by 'dwelling in a tent' or 'on the holy mountain'. In the same author,

Their line has gone out into all the earth, and their speech to the end of the world. In them He has set a tent for the sun. Psalms 19:4.

Here 'sun' stands for love. In the same author,

I will dwell in Your tent for ever, I will put my trust in the shelter of Your wings. Psalms 61:4

Here 'tent' stands for what is celestial, and 'shelter of Your wings' for what is spiritual deriving from it. In Isaiah,

In compassion a throne was established, and on it there sat in truthfulness in the tent of David, one who judges and who seeks judgement, and hastens in righteousness. Isaiah 16:5

Here again 'tent' stands for the holiness of love, which the phrases judging judgement' and 'hastening in righteousness' are used to describe. In the same prophet,

Look upon Zion, the city of our appointed feast. May your eyes see Jerusalem, a quiet habitation, a tent which is not moved. Isaiah 33:10.

This refers to the heavenly Jerusalem.

[2] In Jeremiah,

Thus said Jehovah, Behold, I will bring back the captivity of the tents of Jacob and have compassion on his dwellings. And the city will be built upon its mound. Jeremiah 30:18.

'The captivity of the tents' stands for the vastation of celestial things, that is, of holy things of love. In Amos,

On that day I will raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen down, and I will close up their breaches, and I will raise up its ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old. Amos 9:11.

Here similarly 'a tabernacle' stands for celestial things and the holy things that go with them. In Jeremiah,

The whole land has been laid waste. Swiftly My tents have been laid waste, suddenly My curtains. Jeremiah 4:20.

And elsewhere in Jeremiah,

My tent has been laid waste, and all My cords torn away. My sons have gone away from Me, and they are not. There is no one stretching out My tent any more, and setting up My curtains. Jeremiah 10:20.

Here 'tent' stands for celestial things, 'curtains' and 'cords' for spiritual things deriving from them. In the same prophet,

They will seize their tents and flocks, their curtains and all their vessels, and take away the camels for themselves. Jeremiah 49:29

This refers to Arabia and the sons of the east, who represent people who are in possession of celestial things, that is, things that are holy. In the same prophet,

The Lord has poured out His fierce anger like fire on the tent of the daughter of Zion. Lamentations 2:4.

This stands for the vastation of the celestial or holy things of faith.

[3] The reason 'a tent' stands in the Word for the celestial or holy things of love is that in ancient times people carried out holy worship, each within his own tent. When however they started to render their tents unholy by profane acts of worship the Tabernacle was built, and later on the Temple. Consequently that which 'the Tabernacle' meant, and later on 'the Temple', was also what 'tents' meant. And someone who was holy was therefore called a tent, also a tabernacle, and the Lord's temple as well. That 'tent', 'tabernacle', and 'temple' all have the same meaning is clear in David,

One thing have I sought from Jehovah, that will I ask for, that I may remain in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life, to behold Jehovah in His beauty, and visit Him every morning in His temple. For He will shelter me in His tabernacle on the day of evil. He will hide me in the hiding-place of His tent, He will lift me up upon a rock and now my head will be lifted up against my enemies round about me, and I will sacrifice in His tent the sacrifices of shouts of joy. Psalms 27:4-6.

[4] In the highest sense it is the Lord as regards His Human Essence who is the Tent, the Tabernacle, and the Temple. And every one who is celestial is consequently referred to in the same way, as well as every thing which is celestial and holy. Now because the Most Ancient Church was the Lord's beloved more than the Churches that followed, and because in those times people used to live independently, that is, each within his own family, celebrating holy worship each in his own tent, tents were consequently considered to be more holy than the temple which had been profaned. To remind people of this point the Feast of Tabernacles was therefore instituted when they had to gather in the produce of the earth. During this feast they were required to live in tabernacles as the most ancient people had done, Leviticus 23:39-44; Deuteronomy 16:13; Hosea 12:9.
