Studie

   

1 Kaj vi alproksimigu al vi vian fraton Aaron kaj liajn filojn kun li el inter la Izraelidoj, por ke li estu Mia pastro:Aaron, kaj Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, kaj Itamar, la filoj de Aaron.

2 Kaj faru sanktajn vestojn por via frato Aaron, por honoro kaj ornamo.

3 Kaj diru al cxiuj, kiuj havas sagxan koron kaj kiujn Mi plenigis per spirito de sagxo, ke ili faru por Aaron vestojn, por sanktigi lin, ke li estu Mia pastro.

4 Kaj jen estas la vestoj, kiujn ili devas fari:surbrustajxo, efodo, tuniko, hxitono teksita, cidaro, kaj zono. Kaj ili faru sanktajn vestojn por via frato Aaron kaj por liaj filoj, ke li estu Mia pastro.

5 Kaj ili prenu oron, kaj bluan, purpuran, kaj rugxan teksajxon, kaj bisinon.

6 Kaj ili faru la efodon el oro, el blua, purpura, kaj rugxa teksajxo, kaj el tordita bisino, en artista maniero.

7 Du sursxultrajxojn kunigantajn gxi havu sur siaj Du finoj, por ke gxi estu ligita.

8 Kaj la cxirkauxliganta zono sur gxi estu la sama laborajxo, kiel gxia kontinuajxo, el oro, el blua, purpura, kaj rugxa teksajxo, kaj el tordita bisino.

9 Kaj prenu du oniksajn sxtonojn, kaj gravuru sur ili la nomojn de la filoj de Izrael:

10 ses el iliaj nomoj sur unu sxtono kaj la ses ceterajn nomojn sur la dua sxtono, laux la ordo de ilia naskigxo.

11 Per laboro de gravuristoj, kiel sigelila gravurado, gravurigu sur la du sxtonoj la nomojn de la filoj de Izrael; faru ilin cxirkauxataj per kadretoj el oro.

12 Kaj metu la du sxtonojn sur la sursxultrajxojn de la efodo, kiel sxtonojn de memoro pri la filoj de Izrael; kaj Aaron portu iliajn nomojn antaux la Eternulo sur siaj du sursxultrajxoj por memoro.

13 Kaj faru kadretojn el oro;

14 kaj du cxenetojn el pura oro; faru ilin kunigxantaj per siaj finoj, plektitaj; kaj alfortikigu la plektitajn cxenetojn al la kadretoj.

15 Kaj faru jugxan surbrustajxon per artista laboro; simile al la laboro de la efodo faru gxin; el oro, el blua, purpura, kaj rugxa teksajxo, kaj el tordita bisino faru gxin.

16 Kvarangula gxi estu kaj duobla; manstrecxo estu gxia longo, kaj manstrecxo gxia largxo.

17 Kaj enmetu en gxin enmetajxon el sxtonoj en kvar vicoj. La sxtonoj de vico:rubeno, topazo, kaj smeraldo estu la unua vico;

18 kaj la dua vico:hiacinto, safiro, kaj jaspiso;

19 kaj la tria vico:ligurio, agato, kaj ametisto;

20 kaj la kvara vico:krizolito, kaj onikso, kaj berilo. En oraj kadretoj ili estu laux siaj vicoj.

21 Kaj la sxtonoj estu laux la nomoj de la filoj de Izrael; dek du, laux iliaj nomoj, gravuritaj sigelile, cxiu kun sia nomo, por la dek du triboj.

22 Kaj faru al la surbrustajxo plektitajn cxenetojn, kunigxantajn per siaj finoj, el pura oro.

23 Kaj faru por la surbrustajxo du orajn ringojn, kaj alfortikigu la du ringojn al la du finoj de la surbrustajxo.

24 Kaj metu la du orajn plektitajn cxenetojn en la du ringojn cxe la finoj de la surbrustajxo.

25 Kaj la du finojn de la du plektitaj cxenetoj enfortikigu en la du kadretojn, kaj alfortikigu ilin al la sursxultrajxoj de la efodo sur la antauxa flanko.

26 Kaj faru du orajn ringojn, kaj alfortikigu ilin al la du aliaj finoj de la surbrustajxo, sur interna gxia rando, direktita al la efodo.

27 Kaj faru du orajn ringojn, kaj alfortikigu ilin al la du sursxultrajxoj de la efodo malsupre, sur la antauxa flanko, cxe gxia kunigxo, super la zono de la efodo.

28 Kaj oni alligu la surbrustajxon per gxiaj ringoj al la ringoj de la efodo per lacxo el blua sxtofo, por ke gxi estu super la zono de la efodo kaj por ke la surbrustajxo ne forsxovigxu de sur la efodo.

29 Kaj Aaron portu la nomojn de la filoj de Izrael sur la jugxa surbrustajxo sur sia koro, kiam li eniros en la sanktejon, por cxiama memoro antaux la Eternulo.

30 Kaj metu sur la jugxan surbrustajxon la signojn de lumo kaj la signojn de justo, por ke ili estu sur la koro de Aaron, kiam li eniros antaux la Eternulon; kaj Aaron cxiam portu la jugxon de la filoj de Izrael sur sia koro antaux la Eternulo.

31 Kaj faru la tunikon de la efodo tutan el blua teksajxo.

32 La aperturo por la kapo estu en gxia mezo; cxirkaux la aperturo estu teksita bordero, kiel cxe aperturo de sxildo, por ke gxi ne dissxirigxu.

33 Sur gxia malsupra rando faru granatojn el blua, purpura, kaj rugxa teksajxo, cxirkauxe sur gxia malsupra rando, kaj inter ili cxirkauxe orajn tintilojn.

34 Ora tintilo kaj granato, Ora tintilo kaj granato estu cxirkauxe sur la malsupra rando de la tuniko.

35 GXi estu sur Aaron dum lia servado; por ke oni auxdu sonon de li, kiam li eniros en la sanktejon antaux la Eternulon kaj kiam li eliros, kaj por ke li ne mortu.

36 Kaj faru tabuleton el pura oro, kaj gravuru sur gxi en sigelila maniero:SANKTA AL LA ETERNULO.

37 Kaj alfortikigu gxin per lacxo el blua sxtofo, ke gxi estu sur la cidaro; sur la antauxa flanko de la cidaro gxi devas esti.

38 GXi estu sur la frunto de Aaron; kaj Aaron portados la pekon kontraux la sanktajxoj, kiujn sanktigos la Izraelidoj en cxiuj siaj sanktaj donoj; kaj gxi estos sur lia frunto cxiam, por ke la Eternulo ilin favoru.

39 Kaj teksu la hxitonon el bisino, kaj faru la cidaron el bisino, kaj faru broditan zonon.

40 Kaj por la filoj de Aaron faru hxitonojn, kaj faru por ili zonojn, kaj mitrojn faru por ili, por honoro kaj ornamo.

41 Kaj vestu per ili vian fraton Aaron kaj liajn filojn kune kun li; kaj sanktoleu ilin kaj konsekru ilin kaj sanktigu ilin, por ke ili estu pastroj al Mi.

42 Kaj faru por ili linajn pantalonojn, por kovri la nudecon de ilia karno; de la lumbo gxis la femuroj ili estu.

43 Kaj ili estu sur Aaron kaj sur liaj filoj, kiam ili eniros en la tabernaklon de kunveno, aux kiam ili alproksimigxos al la altaro, por servi en la sanktejo; por ke ili ne faru pekon kaj ne mortu. Eterna legxo gxi estu por li kaj por lia idaro post li.

9959. And thou shalt make for them breeches of linen. That this signifies what is external of conjugial love, is evident from the signification of “breeches,” as being what is external of love (of which below); and from the signification of “linen,” as being external truth, or natural truth (of which also below). The reason why “breeches” signify what is external of conjugial love, is that garments or coverings derive their signification from that part of the body which they cover (see n. 9827), and the loins together with the genitals, which are clothed or covered by the breeches, signify conjugial love. (That “the loins” have this signification, see n. 3021, 4280, 4575; and also “the genitals,” n. 4462, 5050-5062.) What love truly conjugial is, shall be told in the following article.

[2] The reason why the breeches were made of linen, was that “linen” signifies external truth, that is, natural truth (n. 7601), and the external itself is truth. The reason why the external is truth, is that internal things cease in external ones, and rest upon these as their supports; and supports are truths. They are like the foundations on which a house is built; and therefore “the foundations of a house” signify truths of faith from good (see n. 9643). Moreover, truths are what protect goods from evils and falsities, and resist them; and all the power which good has is by means of truths (n. 9643). From this also it is that in the ultimate of heaven are those who are in truths of faith from good; and therefore also the ultimate, or outermost, with man, which is his outer skin, corresponds to those in the heavens who are in truths of faith (n. 5552-5559, 8980); but not to those who are in faith separate from good, for these are not in heaven. From all this it can now be seen why the breeches were of linen. But when Aaron was clothed in garments which were for glory and comeliness (which have been treated of in this chapter), his breeches were of linen with fine linen interwoven, as is evident from what follows, where it is said:

They made the tunics of fine linen, the work of the weaver, and the miter of fine linen, and the adornments of the tiaras of fine linen, and the breeches of linen with fine linen interwoven (Exodus 39:27-28).

But when he was clothed in the garments of holiness, Aaron’s breeches were of linen, as is evident from these words in Moses:

When Aaron shall enter into the holiness within the veil, he shall put on the linen tunic of holiness, and the linen breeches shall be put upon his flesh, and he shall gird himself with the linen belt, and he shall put on himself the linen miter; these are the garments of holiness; he shall also wash his flesh with water when he puts them on; and he shall then first offer burnt-offerings and sacrifices, by which he shall expiate the holiness from uncleanesses (Leviticus 16 (Leviticus 16:2) (Leviticus 16:23-24)).

[3] The reason why Aaron then went clothed with linen garments, which were also called “garments of holiness,” was that he then administered the office of expiating the Tent, as also the people and himself, from uncleannesses; and all expiation, which was effected by means of washings, burnt-offerings, and sacrifices, represented the purification of the heart from evils and falsities, thus regeneration; and purification from evils and falsities, or regeneration, is effected by means of the truths of faith. Therefore there were then linen garments upon Aaron, for as before said, by “the linen garments” were signified the truths of faith. (That all purification from evils and falsities is effected by means of the truths of faith, see n. 2799, 5954, 7044, 7918, 9089; thus that regeneration is so effected, n. 1555, 2046, 2063, 2979, 3332, 3665, 3690, 3786, 3876, 3877, 4096, 4097, 5893, 6247, 8635, 8638-8640, 8772, 9088, 9089, 9103)

[4] It was for the same reason that the priest put on linen clothing, and linen breeches, when he took the ashes away from the altar (Leviticus 6:10-11); and that the priests the Levites, of the sons of Zadok, were also to do the same when they should enter into the sanctuary, of which we read in Ezekiel:

The priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, shall enter into My sanctuary, and shall come near to My table, to minister to Me. When they shall enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall put on linen garments; and no wool shall come upon them, when they shall enter in at the gates of the inner court inward. There shall be linen tiaras upon their heads, and linen breeches shall be upon their loins; they shall not gird themselves with sweat (Ezekiel 44:15-18).

The new temple is here treated of, by which is signified the New Church; by “the priests the Levites” are signified those who are in truths from good; by “the linen garments” are signified the truths of faith by means of which purification and regeneration are effected; “not to be girded with sweat” signifies that the holy things of worship were not to be commingled with what is man’s own; for “sweat” denotes what is man’s own; and what is man’s own is nothing but evil and falsity (n. 210, 215, 694, 874-876, 987, 1047, 3812, 8480, 8941).

[5] That the breeches worn by Aaron when he was clothed in garments for glory and comeliness were of linen with fine linen interwoven ((Exodus 39:27-28) as is evident from the passage cited above, Exodus 39:27-28), was because in them Aaron represented the Lord as to Divine good in the heavens; Aaron himself the Lord as to the Divine celestial there; and his garments the Lord as to the Divine spiritual there proceeding from the Divine celestial (n. 9814); and “fine linen” denotes the Divine spiritual that proceeds from the Divine celestial (n. 5319, 9469).

Exodus 28

Studie

   

1 "Bring Aaron your brother, and his sons with him, near to you from among the children of Israel, that he may minister to me in the priest's office, even Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron's sons.

2 You shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother, for glory and for beauty.

3 You shall speak to all who are wise-hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they make Aaron's garments to sanctify him, that he may minister to me in the priest's office.

4 These are the garments which they shall make: a breastplate, and an ephod, and a robe, and a coat of checker work, a turban, and a sash: and they shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother, and his sons, that he may minister to me in the priest's office.

5 They shall take the gold, and the blue, and the purple, and the scarlet, and the fine linen.

6 "They shall make the ephod of gold, of blue, and purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of the skillful workman.

7 It shall have two shoulder straps joined to the two ends of it, that it may be joined together.

8 The skillfully woven band, which is on it, that is on him, shall be like its work and of the same piece; of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.

9 You shall take two onyx stones, and engrave on them the names of the children of Israel:

10 six of their names on the one stone, and the names of the six that remain on the other stone, in the order of their birth.

11 With the work of an engraver in stone, like the engravings of a signet, you shall engrave the two stones, according to the names of the children of Israel: you shall make them to be enclosed in settings of gold.

12 You shall put the two stones on the shoulder straps of the ephod, to be stones of memorial for the children of Israel: and Aaron shall bear their names before Yahweh on his two shoulders for a memorial.

13 You shall make settings of gold,

14 and two chains of pure gold; you shall make them like cords of braided work: and you shall put the braided chains on the settings.

15 "You shall make a breastplate of judgment, the work of the skillful workman; like the work of the ephod you shall make it; of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, you shall make it.

16 It shall be square and folded double; a span shall be its length of it, and a span its breadth.

17 You shall set in it settings of stones, four rows of stones: a row of ruby, topaz, and beryl shall be the first row;

18 and the second row a turquoise, a sapphire, and an emerald;

19 and the third row a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;

20 and the fourth row a chrysolite, an onyx, and a jasper: they shall be enclosed in gold in their settings.

21 The stones shall be according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names; like the engravings of a signet, everyone according to his name, they shall be for the twelve tribes.

22 You shall make on the breastplate chains like cords, of braided work of pure gold.

23 You shall make on the breastplate two rings of gold, and shall put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.

24 You shall put the two braided chains of gold in the two rings at the ends of the breastplate.

25 The other two ends of the two braided chains you shall put on the two settings, and put them on the shoulder straps of the ephod in its forepart.

26 You shall make two rings of gold, and you shall put them on the two ends of the breastplate, on its edge, which is toward the side of the ephod inward.

27 You shall make two rings of gold, and shall put them on the two shoulder straps of the ephod underneath, in its forepart, close by its coupling, above the skillfully woven band of the ephod.

28 They shall bind the breastplate by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it may be on the skillfully woven band of the ephod, and that the breastplate may not swing out from the ephod.

29 Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel in the breastplate of judgment on his heart, when he goes in to the holy place, for a memorial before Yahweh continually.

30 You shall put in the breastplate of judgment the Urim and the Thummim; and they shall be on Aaron's heart, when he goes in before Yahweh: and Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel on his heart before Yahweh continually.

31 "You shall make the robe of the ephod all of blue.

32 It shall have a hole for the head in its midst: it shall have a binding of woven work around its hole, as it were the hole of a coat of mail, that it not be torn.

33 On its hem you shall make pomegranates of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, around its hem; and bells of gold between and around them:

34 a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, around the hem of the robe.

35 It shall be on Aaron to minister: and its sound shall be heard when he goes in to the holy place before Yahweh, and when he comes out, that he not die.

36 "You shall make a plate of pure gold, and engrave on it, like the engravings of a signet, 'HOLY TO YAHWEH.'

37 You shall put it on a lace of blue, and it shall be on the sash; on the front of the sash it shall be.

38 It shall be on Aaron's forehead, and Aaron shall bear the iniquity of the holy things, which the children of Israel shall make holy in all their holy gifts; and it shall be always on his forehead, that they may be accepted before Yahweh.

39 You shall weave the coat in checker work of fine linen, and you shall make a turban of fine linen, and you shall make a sash, the work of the embroiderer.

40 "You shall make coats for Aaron's sons, and you shall make sashes for them and you shall make headbands for them, for glory and for beauty.

41 You shall put them on Aaron your brother, and on his sons with him, and shall anoint them, and consecrate them, and sanctify them, that they may minister to me in the priest's office.

42 You shall make them linen breeches to cover the flesh of their nakedness; from the waist even to the thighs they shall reach:

43 They shall be on Aaron, and on his sons, when they go in to the Tent of Meeting, or when they come near to the altar to minister in the holy place; that they don't bear iniquity, and die: it shall be a statute forever to him and to his descendants after him.
