Izlazak 40

1 Reče Jahve Mojsiju:

2 "Na prvi dan prvoga mjeseca podigni Prebivalište, Šator sastanka.

3 Ondje postavi Kovčeg svjedočanstva, onda Kovčeg zakloni zavjesom.

4 Potom unesi stol i što na nj spada poredaj; unesi i svijećnjak i svijeće mu pripremi.

5 A zlatni žrtvenik za kađenje postavi pred Kovčeg svjedočanstva. Onda objesi zastor nad ulazom u Prebivalište.

6 Stavi žrtvenik za žrtve paljenice pred ulaz Prebivališta, Šatora sastanka.

7 Između Šatora sastanka i žrtvenika smjesti umivaonik i u nj nalij vode.

8 Naokolo napravi dvorište i objesi zastor nad dvorišnim ulazom.

9 Zatim uzmi ulja za pomazanje pa pomaži Prebivalište i sve što je u njemu; posveti ga i sav njegov pribor, pa će svetim postati.

10 Pomaži potom žrtvenik za žrtve paljenice i sav njegov pribor; posveti žrtvenik i presvetim će žrtvenik postati.

11 Pomaži umivaonik s njegovim stalkom: posveti ga!

12 Dovedi zatim Arona i njegove sinove na ulaz Šatora sastanka pa ih operi vodom.

13 Stavi onda na Arona posvećenu odjeću; pomaži ga i posveti da mi služi kao svećenik.

14 Dovedi i njegove sinove, na njih stavi košulje

15 i pomaži ih, kako si pomazao i njihova oca, da mi služe kao svećenici. Njihovo pomazanje neka ih uvede u vječno svećenstvo u sve njihove naraštaje."

16 Tako Mojsije učini. Kako mu je Jahve naredio, sve je tako i učinio.

17 Prvoga dana prvoga mjeseca druge godine Prebivalište bi podignuto.

18 Ovako Mojsije namjesti Prebivalište: razmjesti njegova podnožja, onda uspravi njegove trenice, zatim postavi priječnice i podiže stupove.

19 Zatim raspne Šator nad Prebivalište, a povrh njega stavi pokrov Šatora, kako je Jahve Mojsiju naredio.

20 Uze onda Svjedočanstvo i stavi ga u Kovčeg; na Kovčeg postavi motke; onda stavi Pomirilište ozgo na Kovčeg.

21 Potom unese Kovčeg u Prebivalište; objesi zavjesu za zaklon. Tako zastre Kovčeg svjedočanstva, kako je Jahve i naredio Mojsiju.

22 Zatim postavi stol u Šator sastanka, Prebivalištu sa sjeverne strane, ali izvan zavjese.

23 Po njemu poreda kruhove pred Jahvom, kako je Jahve naredio Mojsiju.

24 Onda smjesti svijećnjak u Šator sastanka naprama stolu, na južnoj strani Prebivališta.

25 I postavi svjetiljke pred Jahvom, kako je Jahve naredio Mojsiju.

26 Zlatni žrtvenik smjesti u Šator sastanka, pred zavjesu.

27 Na njemu zapali miomirisnog tamjana, kako je Jahve naredio Mojsiju.

28 Poslije toga stavi zavjesu na ulaz u Prebivalište.

29 Kod ulaza u Prebivalište, u Šator sastanka, postavi žrtvenik za žrtve paljenice. Na njemu prinese žrtvu paljenicu i žrtvu od žita, kako je Jahve naredio Mojsiju.

30 Između Šatora sastanka i žrtvenika smjesti umivaonik pa u nj ulije vode za pranje.

31 Iz njega su Mojsije, Aron i njegovi sinovi prali svoje ruke i svoje noge.

32 A prali su se kad su ulazili u Šator sastanka i kad su pristupali k žrtveniku, kako je Jahve naredio Mojsiju.

33 Napokon Mojsije napravi dvorište oko Prebivališta i žrtvenika i postavi zavjesu na dvorišnim vratima. Tako Mojsije završi taj posao.

34 A onda oblak prekri Šator sastanka i slava Jahvina ispuni Prebivalište.

35 Mojsije nije mogao ući u Šator sastanka zbog oblaka koji je na njemu stajao i slave Jahvine koja je ispunjala Prebivalište.

36 Sve vrijeme njihova putovanja, kad god bi se oblak digao s Prebivališta, Izraelci bi krenuli;

37 ali ako se oblak ne bi digao, ni oni ne bi na put polazili sve do dana dok se ne bi digao.

38 Jer sve vrijeme njihova putovanja oblak Jahvin danju stajaše nad Prebivalištem, a noću bi se u oblaku pojavila vatra vidljiva svemu domu Izraelovu.

886. That 'olive' means the good that stems from charity is clear not only from the meaning of 'olive' but also from the meaning of 'oil' in the Word. Olive oil in addition to spices was used to anoint priests and kings, and it was also used in the lamps. Concerning the former, see Exodus 30:24, and the latter, Exodus 27:20. The reason olive oil was used in anointing and in lamps was that it represented everything celestial and so everything good that stems from love and charity. Oil is in fact the essential element of the tree, its soul so to speak, as the celestial or the good that stems from love and charity is the essential element or soul itself of faith. This is the origin of its representation. That 'oil' means that which is celestial or the good that stems from love and charity may be confirmed from many places in the Word, but since the olive itself is referred to here, let some that confirm the meaning solely of the olive be quoted. In Jeremiah,

Jehovah called your name, Green Olive Tree, fair with shapely fruit. Jeremiah 11:16.

The name given here applies to the Most Ancient or celestial Church, which was the basis of the Jewish Church. Consequently all the representatives of the Jewish Church had regard to celestial things, and through the latter to the Lord.

[2] In Hosea,

His branches will go out and his beauty will be like the olive, and his smell like that of Lebanon. Hosea 14:6.

This refers to the Church that is to be established. Its beauty is 'the olive', that is, the good that stems from love and charity, while 'the smell like that of Lebanon' is resulting affection for the truth of faith. 'Lebanon' stands for its cedars, which meant spiritual things, or the truths of faith.

In Zechariah,

Two olive trees beside the lampstand, one on the right of the bowl and one on the left of it. These are the two sons of pure oil, standing beside the Lord of the whole earth. Zechariah 4:3, 11, 14.

Here 'the two olive trees' stands for the celestial and the spiritual, and so for love which belongs to the celestial Church and for charity which belongs to the spiritual Church. These stand to the right and to the left of the Lord. 'The lampstand' here means the Lord, just as it used to represent Him in the Jewish Church. 'The lamps' are celestial things from which spiritual things radiate like rays of light, or light itself, from a flame. In David,

Your wife will be like a fruitful vine on the sides of your house, your sons will be like olive shoots. Psalms 128:3.

Here 'a wife like a vine' stands for the spiritual Church, and 'sons' stands for the truths of faith which are called 'olive shoots' because they stem from the goods of charity. In Isaiah,

Gleanings will be left in it, as the shaking of an olive tree, two or three berries on the top of the [highest] branch. Isaiah 17:6.

This refers to the remnants residing with a person. 'Olives' stands for celestial remnants. In Micah,

You will tread olives but not anoint yourself with oil, and tread the new wine but not drink wine. Micah 6:15.

And in Moses,

You will plant and dress vineyards but not drink wine. You will have olive trees within all your borders but not anoint yourself with oil. Deuteronomy 28:39-40.

The subject here is the abundance of doctrinal detail concerning the goods and truths of faith which they rejected because of the kind of people they were. From these quotations it becomes clear that 'a leaf' means the truth of faith and 'olive' the good that stems from charity. And similar things are meant by 'the olive leaf which the dove was carrying in its mouth', that is, a small measure of the truth of faith deriving from the good that stems from charity was now showing itself with the member of the Ancient Church.
