Exodus 35

Studie

   

1 Moses kaldte hele Israeliternes Menighed sammen og sagde til dem: Dette er, hvad HE EN har pålagt eder at gøre:

2 I seks Dage må der arbejdes, men på den syvende Dag skal I holde Helligdag, en fuldkommen Hviledag for HE EN. Enhver, der den Dag udfører noget Arbejde, skal lide Døden.

3 På Sabbatsdagen må I ikke gøre Ild i nogen af eders Boliger.

4 Derpå sagde Moses til hele Israeliternes Menighed: Dette er, hvad HE EN har påbudt:

5 I skal tage en Offerydelse til HE EN af, hvad I ejer. Enhver, som i sit Hjerte føler sig tilskyndet dertil, skal komme med det, HE ENs Offerydelse, Guld, Sølv, Kobber,

6 violet og rødt Purpurgatn, karmoisinrødt Garn, Byssus, Gedehår,

7 rødfarvede Væderskind, Tahasjskind, Akacietræ,

8 Olie til Lysestagen, vellugtende Stofer til Salveolien og øgelsen,

9 Sjohamsten og Ædelsten til Indfatning på Efoden og Brystskjoldet.

10 Og alle kunstforstandige Mænd iblandt eder skal komme og lave alt, hvad HE EN har påbudt:

11 Boligen med dens Teltdække og Dække, dens Kroge, Brædder, Tværstænger, Piller og Fodstykker,

12 Arken med Bærestængerne, Sonedækket og det indre Forhæng,

13 Bordet med dets Bærestænger og alt dets Tilbehør og Skuebrødene,

14 Lysestagen med dens Tilbehør, dens Lamper og Olien til Lysestagen,

15 øgelsealteret med dets Bærestænger, Salveolien og øgelsen. Forhænget til Boligens Indgang,

16 Brændofferalteret med Kobbergitteret, Bærestængerne og alt dets Tilbehør, Vandkummen med dens Fodstykke,

17 Forgårdens Omhæng, dens Piller og Fodstykker og Forhænget til Forgårdens Indgang,

18 Boligens og Forgårdens Pæle med eb,

19 Pragtklæderne til Tjenesten i Helligdommen, de hellige Klæder til Præsten Aron og hans Sønners Klæder til Brug ved Præstetjenesten.

20 Da forlod hele Israeliternes Menighed Moses.

21 Og enhver, som i sit Hjerte følte sig drevet dertil, og hvis Ånd tilskyndede ham, kom med HE ENs Offerydelse til Opførelsen af Åbenbaringsteltet og til alt Arbejdet derved og til de hellige Klæder.

22 De kom dermed, både Mænd og Kvinder; enhver, som i sit Hjerte følte sig tilskyndet dertil, kom med Spænder, Ørenringe, Fingerringe og Halssmykker, alle Hånde Guldsmykker. Og enhver, der vilde vie HE EN en Gave af Guld, kom dermed.

23 Og enhver, i hvis Eje der fandtes violet og rødt Purpurgarn, karmoisinrødt Garn, Byssus, Gedehår, rødfarvede Væderskind eller Tahasjskind, kom dermed.

24 Og enhver, der vilde give en Offerydelse af Sølv eller Kobber, kom med HE ENs Offerydelse. Og enhver, der ejede Akacietræ til alt Byggearbejdet, kom dermed.

25 Og alle kunstforstandige Kvinder spandt med egne Hænder og kom med deres Spind, violet og rødt Purpur, Karmoisin og Byssus.

26 Og alle Kvinder, som i Kraft af deres Kunstsnilde følte sig tilskyndede dertil i deres Hjerte, spandt Gedehårene.

27 Og Øversterne kom med Sjohamstenene og Ædelstenene til Indfatningen på Efoden og Brystskjoldet

28 og de vellugtende Stoffer og Olien til Lysestagen og til Salveolien og øgelsen.

29 Enhver Mand og Kvinde af Israeliterne, som i sit Hjerte følte sig tilskyndet til at bringe, hvad der krævedes til Udførelsen af alt det Arbejde, HE EN gennem Moses havde påbudt, bragte det som en frivillig Gave til HE EN.

30 Derpå sagde Moses til Israeliterne: Se, HE EN har kaldet Bezal'el, en Søn af Hurs Søn Uri, af Judas Stamme

31 og fyldt ham med Guds Ånd, med Kunstsnilde, Kløgt og Indsigt i alskens Arbejde

32 til at udtænke Kunstværker og til at arbejde i Guld, Sølv og Kobber

33 og med Udskæring af Sten til Indfatning og med Træskærerarbejde, kort sagt til at udføre alskens Kunstarbejde.

34 Og tillige har han givet både ham og Oholiab, Ahisamaks Søn, af Dans Stamme Gaver til at lære fra sig.

35 Han har fyldt dem med Kunstsnilde til at udføre alskens Udskæringsarbejde, Kunstvævning, broget Vævning af violet og rødt Purpurgarn, karmoisinrødt Garn og Byssus og almindelig Vævning, så de kan udføre alt Slags Arbejde og udtænke Kunstværker.

10731. Everyone doing work therein shall die. That this signifies spiritual death for those who are led by themselves and their own loves, and not by the Lord, is evident from the signification of “doing works on the Sabbath day,” as being to be led by self and one’s own loves, and not by the Lord (see n. 8495, 10360, 10362, 10364); and from the signification of “dying,” as being damnation, or spiritual death (n. 6119, 9008). Those who are led by themselves and by their own loves do not believe in the Lord, for to believe in the Lord is from Him, and not from self. From this it is also that such persons make of no account the union of His Human with the Divine Itself, and also of regeneration by the Lord; and thus also make of no account the truths of the church; for they say to themselves, “Of what value are such things?” Or, “What does it matter whether we know them? or even think them, and desire them? Are we not still alive, like other people? What difference is there?” The reason why they so think is that they think from the life of the world, and not from the life of heaven. The life of heaven is a thing unknown to them, and no one can think from what is unknown; and therefore such people cannot be saved, because they have not heaven in them, and therefore they cannot be in heaven, for their interiors are not in agreement with it. For unless these have been disposed by the Lord according to the image of heaven, there is no conjunction with heaven. Such are those who deny these universal truths. It is this state of man which is signified by “works done on the Sabbath day;” and the spiritual death of such persons is signified by their natural “death.”

Arcana Coelestia # 6119

6119. For why should we die beside thee because the silver faileth? That this signifies that otherwise by reason of the lack of truth there would be spiritual death, is evident from the signification of “dying,” as being spiritual death (of which in what follows); and from the signification of “silver failing,” as being a lack of truth (that “silver” denotes true and adaptable memory-knowledge may be seen above, n. 6112). In regard to the fact that there is spiritual death when there is a lack of truth, the case is this. Spiritual life consists in activities according to truths, consequently in uses; for they who are in spiritual life have an appetite and a longing for truths with a view to life, that is, that they may live according to them, thus with a view to uses. So far therefore as they are able to receive truths in accordance with which uses may be done, so far they are in spiritual life, because so far they are in the light of intelligence and of wisdom. When therefore truths fail, as is the case when a state of shade comes, which is signified in the Word by “evening” (n. 6110), the spiritual life labors; for such things present themselves as belong to shade, that is, to spiritual death; for in this case they are not as before kept in the light, but are in part let back into their own; and hence there arises from the shade an image of spiritual death, that is, of damnation.

[2] That by “death” is signified spiritual death, or damnation, is evident from very many passages in the Word, of which it will suffice to adduce the following.

In Isaiah:

In righteousness He shall judge the poor, and reprove with rectitude the wretched of the earth. But He shall smite the earth with the rod of His mouth, and with the breath of His lips shall He cause the wicked to die (Isaiah 11:4);

speaking of the Lord. The “rod of His mouth,” and the “breath of His lips,” denote the Divine truth from which is judgment; “to die” denotes to be damned. Again:

He will swallow up death eternally; and the Lord Jehovih will wipe away the tear from upon all faces (Isaiah 25:8).

Again:

The dead shall not live; the Rephaim shall not rise; because Thou hast visited, Thou hast extinguished them (Isaiah 26:14).

Again:

Thy dead shall live, my carcass, they shall arise (Isaiah 26:19).

Again:

Ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell have we made a vision; your covenant with death shall be abolished, and your vision with hell shall not stand (Isaiah 28:15, 18).

[3] In Jeremiah:

Ye wait for the light, but He turns it into the shadow of death, He makes it thick darkness (Jeremiah 13:16).

In Ezekiel:

Ye have profaned Me among My people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to make the souls live that should not live (Ezekiel 13:19).

In Hosea:

I will redeem them from the hand of hell; from death I will deliver them; O death, I will be thy pests; O hell, I will be thy destruction (Hos. 13:14).

In David:

Thou liftest me up from the gates of death (Psalms 9:13).

Again:

Enlighten mine eyes, lest perchance I sleep death (Psalms 13:3).

Again:

The cords of death compassed me, and the cords of hell (Psalms 18:4-5).

Again:

They shall be set as a flock in hell; death shall pasture them (Psalms 49:14).

In John:

I have the keys of hell and of death (Revelation 1:18).

Again:

He that overcometh shall not be hurt in the second death (Revelation 2:11).

[4] Again:

I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, but thou art dead. Be thou watchful, and establish the things that remain, which are ready to die (Revelation 3:1-2).

In Matthew:

The people that sitteth in darkness saw a great light; and to them that sit in the region and shadow of death, to them light hath arisen (Matthew 4:16).

In John:

He that heareth My word, and believeth on Him that sent Me, shall have eternal life, and shall not come into judgment, but hath passed from death unto life (John 5:24).

Again:

I go away, and ye shall seek Me, but ye shall die in your sin. I said therefore unto you that ye shall die in your sins; for unless ye believe that I am, ye shall die in your sins. If anyone shall keep My word, he shall never see death (John 8:21, 24, 51-52).

As “death” signified damnation, the people of the representative church were forbidden to touch the dead, and if they touched they were unclean, and were to be cleansed (Ezekiel 44:25; Leviticus 15:31; 2 1:1, 2; 22:8; Numbers 6:6-12; 19:11).
