Izlazak 38

Studie

   

1 Od bagremova drva napravi žrtvenik za žrtve paljenice, pet lakata dug, pet lakata širok - u četvorinu - a tri lakta visok.

2 Na njegova četiri ugla načini mu četiri roga. Rogovi su bili u jednom komadu s njim. Onda ga obloži tučem.

3 A načini i sav pribor za žrtvenik: lonce, strugače, kotliće, viljuške i kadionike; sav mu je ovaj pribor načinio od tuča.

4 Za žrtvenik zatim načini rešetku u obliku mrežice od tuča ispod izbočine; zahvaćala mu je do sredine.

5 Salije četiri koluta na četiri ugla tučane rešetke da služe kao kvake za motke.

6 Motke načini od bagremova drva pa ih obloži tučem.

7 Onda provuče motke kroz kolutove na objema stranama žrtvenika da se na njima nosi. Napravio ga je šuplja - od dasaka.

8 A zatim, od zrcala žena koje su posluživale na vratima Šatora sastanka, načini tučani umivaonik i tučani stalak za nj.

9 Onda načini dvorište. Na južnoj strani dvorišta bijahu zavjese od prepredenog lana, stotinu lakata duge.

10 Njihovih dvadeset stupova sa dvadeset podnožja bilo je od tuča, dok su kuke na stupovima i njihove šipke bile od srebra.

11 Od stotinu lakata bile su zavjese i sa sjeverne strane. Njihovih dvadeset stupova sa dvadeset podnožja bilo je od tuča, dok su kuke na stupovima i njihove šipke bile od srebra.

12 Sa zapadne strane bijahu zavjese od pedeset lakata, sa deset stupova i deset njihovih podnožja. Kuke su na stupovima i njihove šipke bile od srebra.

13 Sprijeda, s istoka, zavjese od pedeset lakata.

14 S jedne strane vrata zavjese su bile petnaest lakata, sa tri stupca i njihova tri podnožja.

15 Tako i s druge strane - dakle, na obje strane dvorišnih vrata - bile su zavjese od petnaest lakata, sa tri stupca i njihova tri podnožja.

16 Sve su zavjese oko dvorišta bile od prepredenog lana.

17 Podnožja za stupove bila su od tuča, a kuke na stupovima i njihove šipke od srebra. Vrhovi stupova bili su srebrom obloženi. Sve šipke na dvorišnim stupovima bijahu od srebra.

18 Zavjesa na dvorišnim vratima - izvezena - bila je od ljubičastog, crvenog i tamnocrvenog prediva i prepredenog lana. Dvadeset je lakata bila duga; visoka, po širini, pet lakata kao i dvorišne zavjese.

19 Bila su četiri njihova stupa sa četiri podnožja od tuča. Kuke na stupovima bile su od srebra. Vrhovi stupova bili su srebrom obloženi, a njihove šipke bile su srebrne.

20 Svi kočići unutar Prebivališta bili su od tuča.

21 To je popis stvari za Prebivalište - Prebivalište Svjedočanstva, koji je sastavljen na zapovijed Mojsijevu trudom levita pod vodstvom Itamara, sina svećenika Arona.

22 Besalel, Urijev sin, iz koljena Hurova od plemena Judina napravio je sve što je Jahve Mojsiju naredio.

23 S njim je bio Oholiab, sin Ahisamakov, iz plemena Danova, rezbar, krojač i vezilac za ljubičasto, crveno i tamnocrveno predivo i prepredeni lan.

24 Sve zlato što je utrošeno u radove oko Svetišta - zlato posvećeno prinosom - iznosilo je: dvadeset i devet talenata i sedam stotina trideset šekela u hramskim šekelima.

25 A srebro, sabrano prigodom upisivanja zajednice -

26 to jest beku po glavi, odnosno pola šekela prema hramskom šekelu, od svakoga koji je bio upisan, od dvadeset godina pa naprijed - iznosilo je: stotinu talenata i tisuću sedam stotina sedamdeset i pet šekela u hramskim šekelima. Bilo je upisanih: šest stotina tri tisuće i petsto pedeset.

27 Stotinu talenata srebra otišlo je za salijevanje podnožja Svetištu i zavjesi: sto podnožja od sto talenata - talenat za podnožje.

28 A od tisuću sedam stotina sedamdeset i pet šekela načinio je kuke za stupove, obložio njihove vrhove i napravio šipke za njih.

29 Tuč od žrtve prikaznice iznosio je sedamdeset talenata i dvije tisuće četiri stotine šekela.

30 Od njega je načinio: podnožja za ulaz u Šator sastanka, žrtvenik od tuča s njegovom tučanom rešetkom i sav pribor za žrtvenik;

31 dalje, podnožja oko dvorišta, podnožja za dvorišni ulaz; sve kočiće za Prebivalište i sve kočiće oko dvorišta.

Apocalypse Explained # 207

207. Verse 8. (Revelation 3:8) I know thy works, signifies a life of charity. This is evident from the signification of "works," as being those things that are of man's love, thus of his life (See above, n. 98, 116, 185); here, therefore, the things that are of charity, since that is what is treated of in what is written to this church.

8286. 'And with the wind of Your nostrils the waters were heaped up' means falsities gathered together through heaven's presence. This is clear from the meaning of 'the wind of Your nostrils' as heaven, dealt with below; from the meaning of 'being heaped up' as being gathered into one; and from the meaning of 'the waters' as falsities, dealt with in 7307, 8137, 8138. Damnation and being cast into hell involves having all the falsities arising from evil gathered together, and then being hemmed in by them, see 8146, 8210, 8232; and this happens as a result simply of the Lord's presence, 8265. The reason why 'the wind of Jehovah's, or the Lord's, nostrils' means heaven is that the expression is used to denote the breath of life, that is, God's life; and since God's life constitutes heaven's life, heaven is meant by 'the wind of Jehovah's nostrils'. This also explains why the same word in the original language means both wind and spirit.

[2] The fact that Jehovah's wind or His breath means heaven's life, and the life of a person in heaven, that is, of one who has been regenerated, is clear in David,

By the Word of Jehovah were the heavens made, and all their host by the spirit (wind) of His mouth. Psalms 33:6.

In the same author,

You gather up their spirit, they breathe their last and fall back into their dust. You send forth Your spirit (wind), they are created. Psalms 104:29-30.

In Ezekiel,

Jehovah said to me, Will these bones live? Then He said, Prophesy over the spirit, prophesy, O son of man, and say to the wind, Thus said the Lord Jehovih, Come from the four winds, O spirit, and breathe into these killed, that they may live. And the spirit came into them, and they lived again. Ezekiel 37:3, 9-10.

In John,

I saw four angels standing over the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, in order that the wind should not blow onto the earth, nor onto the sea, nor onto any tree. Revelation 7:1.

Here 'the wind' stands for heaven's life, which is God's life, as also in Job,

The spirit of God has made me, and the breath of Shaddai 1 has given me life. Job 33:4.

[3] Since 'wind' meant life the Lord also says, in His teaching about a person's regeneration,

The spirit (or wind) blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from or goes away to; so it is with everyone who has been born from the spirit. John 3:8.

And since life from God was meant by 'Jehovah's wind' or 'His breath' it therefore says of Jehovah, when Adam's new life is the subject, that

He breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. Genesis 2:7.

The word 'nostrils' is used because a person breathes by means of them and by means of breathing has life, as in Isaiah,

Turn yourselves away from the person in whose nostrils there is breath. 2 Isaiah 2:22.

In Jeremiah,

The Breath 3 Lamentations 4:20Job 27:3.

[4] Since therefore 'the wind of Jehovah's nostrils' means life which comes from the Lord, and so in the universal sense means heaven, and since through the Lord's presence - or through the presence of heaven, where the Lord is - evils and falsities are cast into hell, 8265, so also is the accomplishment of this meant by 'the wind of Jehovah's nostrils', as in David,

The channels of the sea were seen, the foundations of the world were revealed, because of Jehovah's rebuke, at the blast of breath from His nostrils. 4 Psalms 18:8, 15; 2 Samuel 22:16. 5

In Isaiah,

The breath of Jehovah like a stream 6 of brimstone sets it alight. Isaiah 30:33.

In the same prophet,

Indeed they are not planted, indeed they are not sown, indeed their trunk does not take root in the earth, and also He breathes onto them and they wither, so that the whirlwind may bear them away like stubble. Isaiah 40:24Psalms 147:1718

In addition this explains why 'the nose', when used in reference to Jehovah or the Lord, also means wrath, and so the punishment, vastation, and damnation suffered by those ruled by evils and falsities, as in Numbers 25:4; Deuteronomy 7:4; Judges 2:14; Isaiah 9:12; Jeremiah 4:8Hosea 14:4; Psalms 6:1; 86:15; 103:8; 145:8; and very many other times elsewhere. It explains too why 'breathing with the nostrils' or 'breathing out' means being angry, Deuteronomy 4:21; Isaiah 12:1; Psalms 2:12; 6:1; 60:1; 79:5; 85:5.
