Exodus 39

Studie

   

1 Af det violette og røde Purpurgarn og det karmoisinrøde Garn tilvirkede de Pragtklæderne til Tjenesten i Helligdommen; og de tilvirkede Arons hellige Klæder, således som HE EN havde pålagt Moses.

2 De tilvirkede Efoden af Guldtråd, violet og rødt Purpurgarn, karmoisinrødt Garn og tvundet Byssus,

3 idet de udhamrede Guldet i Plader og skar Pladerne ud i Tråde til at væve ind i det violette og røde Purpurgarn, det karmoisinrøde Garn og det tvundne Byssus ved Kunstvævning.

4 Derpå forsynede de den med Skulderstykker til at hæfte på; den blev hæftet sammen ved begge Hjørner.

5 Og dens Bælte, som brugtes, når den skulde tages på, var i eet med den og af samme Arbejde, af Guldtråd, violet og rødt Purpurgarn, karmoisinrødt Garn og tvundet Byssus, således som HE EN havde pålagt Moses.

6 Derpå tilvirkede de Sjohamstenene, indfattede i Guldfletværk og graverede som Signeter med Israels Sønners Navne;

7 og de fæstede dem på Efodens Skulderstykker, for at Stenene kunde bringe Israels Børn i Minde, således som HE EN havde pålagt Moses.

8 Derpå tilvirkede de Brystskjoldet i Kunstvævning på samme Måde som Efoden, af Guldtråd, violet og rødt Purpurgarn, karmoisinrødt Garn og tvundet Byssus;

9 det var firkantet, og de lagde Brystskjoldet dobbelt; det var et Spand langt og et Spand bredt, lagt dobbelt.

10 De udstyrede det med fire ækker Sten: Karneol, Topas og Smaragd i den første ække,

11 ubin, Safir og Jaspis i den anden,

12 Hyacint, Agat og Ametyst i den tredje,

13 Krysolit, Sjoham og Onyks i den fjerde, omgivne med Guldfletværk i deres Indfatninger.

14 Der var tolv Sten, svarende til Israels Sønners Navne, en for hvert Navn; det var graveret Arbejde som Signeter, således at hver Sten bar Navnet på en af de tolv Stammer.

15 Til Brystskjoldet lavede de snoede Kæder af purt Guld, snoet Arbejde, som når man snor eb.

16 Derpå lavede de to Guldfletværker og to Guldringe og satte disse to inge på Brystskjoldets øverste Hjørner,

17 og de to Guldsnore knyttede de i de to inge på Brystskjoldets Hjørner;

18 Snorenes anden Ende anbragte de i de to Fletværker og fæstede dem på Forsiden af Efodens Skulderstykker.

19 Og d lavede to andre Guldringe og satte dem på Brystskjoldets to andre Hjørner på den indre and, der vendte mod Efoden.

20 Og de lavede endnu to Guldringe og fæstede dem på Efodens to Skulderstykker forneden på Forsiden, hvor den var hæftet sammen med Skulderstykkerne, oven over Efodens Bælte;

21 og de bandt med ingene Brystskjoldet fast til Efodens inge ved Hjælp af en violet Purpursnor, så at det kom til at sidde oven over Efodens Bælte og ikke kunde løsne sig fra Efoden, som HE EN havde pålagt Moses.

22 Derpå tilvirkede de Kåben, som hører til Efoden, i vævet Arbejde, helt og holdent af violet Purpur.

23 Midt på havde Kåben en Halsåbning ligesom Halsåbningen på en Panserskjorte, omgivet af en Linning, for at den ikke skulde rives itu,

24 og langs Kåbens nederste Kant syede de Granatæbler af violet og rødt Purpurgarn, karmoisinrødt Garn og tvundet Byssus,

25 og de lavede Bjælder af purt Guld, som de anbragte mellem Granatæblerne langs Kåbens nederste Kant hele Vejen rundt, mellem Granatæblerne,

26 så at Bjælder og Granatæbler skiftede hele Vejen rundt langs Kåbens nederste Kant, til at bære ved Tjenesten, som HE EN havde pålagt Moses.

27 Derpå tilvirkede de Kjortlerne til Aron og hans Sønner af Byssus i vævet Arbejde,

28 Hovedklædet af Byssus, Embedshuerne af Byssus, Linnedbenklæderne af tvundet Byssus,

29 og Bæltet af tvundet Byssus, violet og rødt Purpurgarn og karmoisinrødt Garn i broget Vævning, som HE EN havde pålagt Moses.

30 Derpå lavede de Pandepladen, det hellige Diadem, af purt Guld og forsynede den med en Indskrift i graveret Arbejde som ved Signeter: "Helliget HE EN."

31 Og de fæstede en violet Purpursnor på den til at binde den fast med oven på Hovedklædet, som HE EN havde pålagt Moses.

32 Således fuldførtes alt Arbejdet ved Åbenbaringsteltets Bolig; og Israeliterne gjorde ganske som HE EN havde pålagt Moses; således gjorde de.

33 Derpå bragte de Boligen til Moses, Teltdækket med alt dets Tilbehør, Knagerne, Brædderne, Tværstængerne, Pillerne og Fodstykkerne,

34 Dækket af rødfarvede Væderskind og Dækket af Tahasjskind, det indre Forhæng,

35 Vidnesbyrdets Ark med Bærestængerne, Sonedækket,

36 Bordet med alt dets Tilbehør, Skuebrødene,

37 Lysestagen af purt Guld med Lamperne, der skulde sættes på den, og alt dens Tilbehør, Olien til Lysestagen,

38 Guldalteret, Salveolien, den vellugtende øgelse, Forhænget til Teltets Indgang,

39 Kobberalteret med Kobbergitteret, Bærestængerne og alt dets Tilbehør, Vandkummen og Fodstykket,

40 Omhængene til Forgården, Pillerne og Fodstykkerne, Forhænget til Forgårdens Indgang, ebene og Teltpælene, alt Tilbehør til Tjenesten i Åbenbaringsteltets Bolig,

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

42 Nøjagtigt som HE EN havde pålagt Moses, udførte Israeliterne hele Arbejdet.

43 Da så Moses hele Arbejdet efter, og se, de havde udført det, som HE EN havde sagt; således havde de utdført det. Og Moses velsignede dem.

Apocalypse Explained # 39

/ 1232  
  

39. And all the tribes of the earth shall lament over Him, signifies that the falsities of the church will oppose. This is evident from the signification of "lamenting" as being to mourn, to grieve, to be displeased, to be angry, to be averse from, thus also to oppose; and from the signification of "tribes," as being all truths and goods in the complex, and in the contrary sense, all falsities and evils in the complex (of which in what follows); also from the signification of "the earth," as being the church (See above, n. 29). By "all the tribes of the earth," then, the whole church is meant, and by "their lamenting over Him" is signified that truth and good will be no more, because falsities and evils are to prevail and oppose. For this verse treats, in general, of what the state of the church will be at its end, when there will be no longer any faith, because no charity, namely, that the Lord will then reveal Himself, and that all who are in truths from good will acknowledge Him, and that they also will see Him, who are in falsities from evil, but that the falsities of the church will oppose. (That Revelation does not treat of the successive states of the church, but of its last state when it is at its end, see above, n. 5; and that its end is when there is no faith, because no charity, see the little work on The Last Judgment 33-39 seq.; and when there is no faith, because no charity, falsities from evil prevail and oppose truths from good.)

[2] In the Word "tribes" are often mentioned, inasmuch as the Israelitish people were divided into twelve tribes, and one who does not know the internal sense of the Word supposes that by "tribes" are meant the tribes of Israel; but by "tribes" are not meant tribes, nor by "Israel" is Israel meant, but by "tribes" are meant all those who are in truths from good, and by "Israel" the Lord's church. He who is ignorant of this will easily adopt the common belief that the sons of Israel were chosen in preference to all others on earth, and that they are also to be brought at last into the land of Canaan; indeed, that heaven also is to be formed chiefly from them; when, in fact, by their names they are not meant, but they who are in truths from good, thus those who are of the church; by the twelve tribes, all such, and by each tribe, some particular truth and good pertaining to those who are of the church.

[3] When this is understood, what is meant by these words in Revelation can be seen:

I heard the number of them which were sealed, a hundred and forty and four thousand sealed of all the tribes of the sons of Israel. Of the tribe of Judah were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Asher were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Naphtali were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasseh were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Zebulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand (Revelation 7:4-8).

Here those who are of the Israelitish nation are not meant, but all, how many soever, who are in the truths from good, for all such are sealed for heaven. Moreover, the numbers "one hundred and forty-four thousand" and "twelve thousand" signify all; and each tribe signifies all who are in that truth or good which is signified by its name, as may appear from what is shown in the Arcana Coelestia; as what good and truth are signified by "Judah," n. 3881, 6363; what by "Reuben," n. 3861, 3866, 4605, 4731, 4734, 4761, 6342-6345; what by "Gad," n. 3934, 3935; what by "Asher," n. 3938, 3939, 6408; what by "Naphtali," n. 3927, 3928; what by "Manasseh," n. 3969, 5351, 5354, 6222, 6234, 6238, 6267, 6296; what by "Simeon," n. 3869-3872, 4497, 4502-4503, 5482, 5626, 5630; what by "Levi," n. 3875, 3877, 4497, 4502-4503; what by "Issachar," n. 3956, 3957; what by "Zebulon," n. 3960, 3961, 6383; what by "Joseph," n. 3969, 3971, 4669, 6417; and what by "Benjamin," n. 3969, 4592, 5411, 5413, 5443, 5639, 5686, 5688, 5689, 6440. That all numbers in the Word signify things, see n. 482, 487, 647-648, 755, 813, 1963, 2075, 2252, 3252, 4264, 4495, 4670, 5265, 6175, 9488, 9659, 10217, 10253. That "twelve" signifies all, and all things in respect to truths from good, see n. 577, 2089, 2129, 2130, 3272, 3858, 3913, likewise the numbers "72," "144," "1200," "144, 000," because they arise from the number 12 by multiplication, n. Arcana Coelestia 7973. That composite numbers have a like meaning with the simple numbers from which they are produced by multiplication, see n. 5291, 5335, 5708, 7973).

[4] He who is not aware that numbers signify things, and what the numbers "twelve," "one hundred and forty-four," and "twelve thousand" signify, likewise what "tribes" and "apostles" signify, cannot know what is signified by these words in Revelation:

The holy city, New Jerusalem, had a wall great and high, having twelve gates, and in the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of Israel; and the wall had twelve foundations, and on them the twelve names of the apostles of the Lamb. The wall was a hundred and forty and four cubits, and the length and the breadth of the city twelve thousand furlongs (Revelation 21:12, 21:14, 16-17).

What is signified by all this you will see explained in the small work on The New Jerusalem and its Doctrine 1); namely, that by "Jerusalem" is signified the church in respect to doctrine; by its "wall," protecting truths; by the "gates," introductory truths; by the" foundations," the knowledges on which doctrine is based; by "twelve angels," and by "twelve tribes," all truths and goods in the complex; "the twelve apostles," have a like signification, and the numbers "twelve," "one hundred and forty-four," and "twelve thousand," signify all things and all persons.

[5] Furthermore, he who is aware that such things are signified by the twelve tribes can see the arcanum in this:

Why the names of the twelve tribes were engraved on the precious stones in the Urim and Thummim, likewise what that breastplate signified (Exodus 28:21; 39:10-15).

(This arcanum may be seen unfolded in Arcana Coelestia 3858, 6335, 6640, 9863, 9865, 9873, 9874, 9905) He can also see what is signified by this:

That the twelve apostles should sit upon twelve thrones, and are to judge the twelve tribes of Israel (Matthew 19:28);

namely, that the Lord alone will judge everyone by truths from good (n. 2129, 6397). Also what is meant by:

The predictions of Israel, the father, respecting his sons (Genesis 49:2-28);

as well as numerous other passages of the Word, where tribes are mentioned (as in Isaiah 19:13; 49:6; 63:17; Jeremiah 10:16; Ezekiel 48:1 seq.; Psalms 122:3-5; Deuteronomy 32:8; Numbers 24:2; Revelation 5:9; 7:4-9; 11:9; 13:7; 14:6

[6] Again, what is meant by the Lord's Word respecting the consummation of the age and His coming:

After the affliction of those days the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken; and then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven; and then shall all the tribes of the earth lament; and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory (Matthew 24:29-30).

(These words can be seen explained in detail in the work on Heaven and Hell 1; and in the following passages in the Arcana Coelestia, namely, that the twelve tribes of Israel represented and thence signified all truths and goods in the complex, thus all things of faith and love, n. 3858, 3926, 4060, 6335; that like things are signified by the twelve apostles, n. 2129, 3354, 3488, 3858, 6397; and that their signification varies according to the order in which they are named, n. 3862, 3926, 3939, 4603, seq., 6337, 6640, 10335)
