Ezekijel 41

Studie

   

1 Zatim me povede u Hekal. Izmjeri mu polustupove: bijahu široki šest lakata s jedne i šest lakata s druge strane.

2 Vrata bijahu široka deset lakata: sa svake strane po jedno krilo od pet lakata. A zatim izmjeri Hekal: bijaše dugačak četrdeset, a širok dvadeset lakata.

3 Onda uđe i izmjeri polustupove vrata: dva lakta; zatim vrata: šest lakata; pa širinu vrata: sedam lakata.

4 Izmjeri zatim unutrašnji prostor: dužina dvadeset lakata, širina ispred Hekala dvadeset lakata. I reče mi: "To je Svetinja nad svetinjama."

5 Potom izmjeri zid Doma: šest lakata. Pobočne prostorije bijahu široke četiri lakta, sve oko Doma.

6 Pobočne prostorije bijahu jedna nad drugom, bijaše ih trideset na tri bÓoja. U hramskom zidu bijahu, sve uokolo, zasjeci da prihvate pobočne prostorije. Tako one ne bijahu ugrađene u hramski zid.

7 Širina se prostorija povećavala od boja do boja, jer su one sve uokolo, na bojeve, okruživale Dom, a Dom je, kako se uzlazilo, ostavljao sve širi prostor. S najdonjeg se boja uzlazilo na najgornji kroza srednji.

8 Onda vidjeh sve oko Doma neku uzvisinu. Osnove pobočnih prostorija: cijela trska, šest lakata.

9 Debljina vanjskoga zida pobočnih klijeti: pet lakata. Prolaz između pobočnih prostorija Doma

10 i klijeti bijaše, sve uokolo Doma, dvadeset lakata širok.

11 Iz pobočne prostorije izlažahu na prolaz jedna vrata prema sjeveru i jedna prema jugu. Prolaz bijaše širok pet lakata svud uokolo.

12 Zdanje što zatvaraše ograđeni prostor sa zapada bijaše široko sedamdeset lakata, a zid te građevine posvud uokolo bijaše debeo pet lakata i dugačak devedeset lakata.

13 On izmjeri Dom: bijaše dugačak stotinu lakata. Ograđeni prostor, zdanje mu i zidovi, stotinu lakata dužine.

14 Širina pročelja Doma s ograđenim prostorom prema istoku: sto lakata.

15 On izmjeri dužinu zdanja duž ograđenog prostora što bijaše straga i hodnike s jedne i s druge strane: stotinu lakata. Unutrašnjost Hekala, trijemovi predvorja,

16 pragovi, prozori s rešetkama i hodnici na sve tri strane uokolo, nasuprot pragovima, bijahu sve uokolo drvetom obloženi od zemlje do prozora. prozori su bili zastrti.

17 Od ulaza sve do unutrašnjosti Doma, a tako i izvana te po svem zidu uokolo, iznutra i izvana,

18 bijahu likovi kerubina i palma. Po jedna palma između dva kerubina, a svaki kerubin imaše dva lica:

19 prema palmi s jedne strane lice čovječje, a prema palmi s druge strane lice lavlje. Tako bijaše po svemu Domu sve uokolo:

20 od zemlje do ponad vrata bijahu izdjeljani kerubini i palme, a tako i po zidu Hekala.

21 Dovratnici Hekala bijahu četverouglasti.

22 Pred Svetištem nešto kao žrtvenik od drveta: tri lakta visok, dva lakta dugačak i dva lakta širok. Uglovi mu, podnožje i stranice bijahu od drveta. I čovjek mi reče: "Evo stola koji je pred licem Jahvinim!"

23 I Hekal i Svetište imahu po dvoja vrata,

24 a svaka vrata po dva krila što se obrtahu: dva krila u jednih i dva krila u drugih vrata.

25 A na vratima Hekala bijahu izdjeljani kerubini i palme, kao što bijahu izdjeljani i po zidovima. Izvana pred trijemom bijaše drvena nadstrešnica.

26 Prozori s rešetkama i palme bijahu s jedne i s druge strane na trijemu, u pobočnim prostorijama Doma i na nadstrešnici.

1659. THE INTERNAL SENSE

The details contained in this chapter appear as if they were not representative, for the subject is merely the wars between a number of kings, and Lot's reclamation by Abram, and, towards the end, Melchizedek; so that these details do not seem to possess a single heavenly arcanum within them. Yet like all such details, these conceal very deep arcana in the internal sense which follow in a continuous sequence from the things preceding them, and also link themselves in a similar sequence to those that follow.

[2] The descriptions which precede have dealt with the Lord and the instruction He received, and also with His External Man which was to be joined to the internal by means of knowledge and cognitions. But because His external Man was such, as has been stated, that from what was inherited from the mother it had within it things which prevented their becoming joined together, things which had first to be cast out by means of conflicts and temptations before His external Man could be united to the Internal - that is, His Human Essence to the Divine Essence - this chapter therefore deals with those conflicts themselves. The latter in the internal sense are represented and meant by the wars which it describes. Within the Church it is well known that Melchizedek represented the Lord, and that the Lord is thus meant in the internal sense when Melchizedek is spoken of. From this one may also conclude that not only such details regarding Melchizedek but all others are indeed representative, for not one small word can have been written in the Word that has not been sent down from heaven and consequently in which angels do not see heavenly things.

[3] In most ancient times furthermore many things were represented by wars, which people called 'The Wars of Jehovah'. The latter meant nothing other than the conflicts fought by the Church and by those who belonged to the Church, that is, their temptations, which are nothing else than battles and wars against the evils present within themselves and so against the devil's crew who activate evils and endeavour to destroy the Church and the member of the Church. That wars in the Word have no other meaning becomes quite clear from the fact that the Word cannot have as its subject anything other than the Lord, His kingdom, and the Church, since it is Divine, not human, and consequently heavenly, not worldly. This being so the wars described in the sense of the letter cannot have any other meaning in the internal sense. This may become clearer still from what follows.
