Ezekiel 43

Studie

   

1 Kaj li venigis min al la pordego, al tiu pordego, kiu estas turnita orienten.

2 Kaj jen la majesto de la Dio de Izrael estis venanta laux la orienta vojo; kaj Lia vocxo estis kiel la bruo de granda akvo; kaj la tero lumigxis de Lia majesto.

3 Tio estis vizio simila al tiu vizio, kiun mi vidis antauxe, kiam mi iris, por antauxdiri pereon al la urbo, kaj vizio simila al tiu, kiun mi vidis cxe la rivero Kebar. Kaj mi jxetis min vizagxaltere.

4 Kaj la majesto de la Eternulo eniris en la domon tra la pordego, kiu estis turnita orienten.

5 Kaj levis min la spirito, kaj venigis min sur la internan korton; kaj jen la majesto de la Eternulo plenigis la domon.

6 Kaj mi auxdis, ke Iu parolas al mi el la domo, kaj viro staris apud mi.

7 Kaj estis dirite al mi:Ho filo de homo! jen estas la loko de Mia trono, kaj la loko de la plandoj de Miaj piedoj, kie Mi logxos eterne inter la Izraelidoj; kaj la domo de Izrael ne plu malpurigos Mian sanktan nomon, nek ili nek iliaj regxoj, per sia malcxastado kaj per la kadavrajxoj de siaj regxoj sur iliaj altajxoj.

8 Ili starigis sian sojlon apud Mia sojlo kaj siajn fostojn apud Miaj fostoj, tie ke nur muro estis inter Mi kaj ili; kaj ili malpurigis Mian sanktan nomon per siaj abomenindajxoj, kiujn ili faris; tial Mi pereigis ilin en Mia kolero.

9 Sed nun ili forigos de Mi sian malcxastajxon kaj la kadavrajxojn de siaj regxoj, kaj Mi logxos inter ili eterne.

10 Vi, ho filo de homo, montru al la domo de Izrael cxi tiun domon, por ke ili ekhontu pri siaj malbonagoj kaj alkonformigu sin al gxia arangxo.

11 Kaj se ili ekhontos pri cxio, kion ili faris, tiam montru al ili la bildon de la domo, gxian arangxon, gxiajn elirojn kaj enirojn, cxiujn gxiajn manierojn kaj legxojn, cxiujn gxiajn morojn kaj instrukciojn, kaj priskribu cxion antaux iliaj okuloj, por ke ili observu cxiujn gxiajn instrukciojn kaj legxojn kaj plenumu ilin.

12 Jen estas la legxo por la domo:la tuta spaco sur la supro de la monto cxirkauxe estas plejsanktejo; tio estas la legxo por la domo.

13 Kaj jen estas la mezuroj de la altaro laux ulnoj, kun aldono po manlargxo por cxiu ulno:la bazo havu unu ulnon kaj la largxo unu ulnon, kaj la listelo cxe gxia rando cxirkauxe havu la largxon de unu manstrecxo; kaj tia estu la dorso de la altaro.

14 Kaj de la bazo sur la tero gxis la malsupra elstarajxo devas esti du ulnoj, kaj la largxo estu unu ulno; kaj de la malgranda elstarajxo gxis la granda elstarajxo estu kvar ulnoj, kaj la largxo unu ulno.

15 Kaj la altaro mem havu kvar ulnojn, kaj de la altaro levigxu supren kvar kornoj.

16 Kaj la altaro havu dek du ulnojn da longo kaj dek du ulnojn da largxo, gxi estu kvadrata sur cxiuj siaj kvar flankoj.

17 Kaj la elstarajxo havu dek kvar ulnojn da longo kaj dek kvar ulnojn da largxo sur cxiuj siaj kvar flankoj, kaj la listelo cxirkaux gxi havu duonon de ulno, kaj gxia bazo cxirkauxe havu unu ulnon; kaj gxiaj sxtupoj devas esti cxe la orienta flanko.

18 Kaj Li diris al mi:Ho filo de homo! tiele diras la Sinjoro, la Eternulo:Tio estas la legxoj por la altaro por tiu tago, kiam oni konstruos gxin, por alportadi sur gxi bruloferojn kaj aspergadi gxin per sango.

19 Kaj al la pastroj Levidoj el la idaro de Cadok, kiuj alproksimigxos al Mi, por servi al Mi, diras la Sinjoro, la Eternulo, donu bovidon kiel pekoferon.

20 Kaj prenu iom el gxia sango, kaj sxprucigu sur gxiajn kvar kornojn kaj sur la kvar angulojn de la elstarajxo kaj sur la listelon cxirkauxe; kaj per tio vi gxin purigos kaj pekliberigos.

21 Poste prenu la pekoferan bovidon, kaj forbruligu gxin sur aparta loko de la domo ekster la sanktejo.

22 Kaj en la sekvanta tago alportu virkapron sendifektan kiel pekoferon; kaj oni pekliberigu la altaron tiel same, kiel oni pekliberigis per la bovido.

23 Kiam vi finos la pekliberigon, alportu bovidon sendifektan, kaj sendifektan virsxafon el la sxafoj;

24 kaj alportu ilin antaux la Eternulon, kaj la pastroj jxetu sur ilin salon kaj faru el ili bruloferon al la Eternulo.

25 Dum sep tagoj alportu cxiutage pekoferan kapron; kaj ili alportu po unu bovido el la bovoj kaj po unu virsxafo el la sxafoj, sendifektajn.

26 Dum sep tagoj oni pekliberigu la altaron kaj purigu gxin kaj konsekru gxin.

27 Kiam finigxos tiuj tagoj, komencante de la oka tago kaj plue, la pastroj farados sur la altaro viajn bruloferojn kaj viajn pacoferojn; kaj Mi estos favora al vi, diras la Sinjoro, la Eternulo.

10253. 'Five hundred [shekels]' means what is complete. This is clear from the meaning of the number 'five hundred' as what is complete. The reason why 'five hundred' has this meaning is that this number is the product of five multiplied by ten tens, or fives times a hundred; and 'five' means much, as do 'ten' and 'a hundred', and therefore 'five hundred' means what is complete.

'Five' means much, see 5708, 5956, 9102, as likewise does 'ten', 3107, 4638, and also 'a hundred', 4400, 6582, 6594.

All numbers in the Word mean spiritual realities, see in the places referred to in 9488.

Compound numbers have a similar meaning to the simple ones that give rise to them through multiplication, 5291, 5335, 5708, 7973.

[2] The fact that numbers mean spiritual realities is perfectly clear in Ezekiel, where the house of God, together with everything there inside and outside, and also the new earth or land, are measured and are described by numbers pertaining to measure, in Chapters 40-48. By the new land there the Church should be understood, and by the house of God its holiness. The same is so in John, in the Book of Revelation, where also a new Jerusalem is described by the numbers where measurements are given, by which too a new Church should be understood. Unless the numbers had meant spiritual realities all those measurements would have been pointless.

[3] 'Five hundred' means the whole from one end to the other, thus what is complete. This is clear from those chapters in Ezekiel,

He measured outside the house (or the temple), to the east quarter five hundred rods round about, to the north quarter five hundred rods round about, to the south quarter five hundred rods, and to the west quarter 1 five hundred rods. Its wall round about, the length was five hundred rods, and the breadth five hundred rods, to distinguish between the holy and the profane. Ezekiel 42:15-20.

From these words it is evident that 'five hundred' means the whole in its entirety, or everything holy from one end to the other, thus what is complete; for it says that the wall, which - according to this account of its length and breadth - formed a square, served to distinguish the holy from the profane.

[4] 'Five hundred' also means much, while a tenth of that number or fifty means some. This is clear from the Lord's words addressed to Simon, in Luke,

Jesus said, There were two debtors who had a certain creditor. One owed five hundred denarii, but the other fifty. When they did not have [anything with which] to repay, he forgave them both. Which of the two loves him more? Simon answered, The one to whom he forgave more. Jesus said, So have the many sins of the woman been forgiven, because she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, [that person] loves little. Luke 7:41-end.

The reason why the Lord used those numbers was that they meant much and some; for He spoke from a Divine [perspective], thus used words carrying a spiritual meaning, in accord with correspondences. The same is so everywhere else, as when He spoke about the virgins, of whom - He said - there were ten, and that five were wise and five were foolish. He spoke of ten because that number means all, that is to say, all who belong to the Church, and of five because this number means some, see 4637, 4638.

Exodus 30

Studie

   

1 "You shall make an altar to burn incense on. You shall make it of acacia wood.

2 Its length shall be a cubit, and its breadth a cubit. It shall be square, and its height shall be two cubits. Its horns shall be of one piece with it.

3 You shall overlay it with pure gold, its top, its sides around it, and its horns; and you shall make a gold molding around it.

4 You shall make two golden rings for it under its molding; on its two ribs, on its two sides you shall make them; and they shall be for places for poles with which to bear it.

5 You shall make the poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold.

6 You shall put it before the veil that is by the ark of the testimony, before the mercy seat that is over the testimony, where I will meet with you.

7 Aaron shall burn incense of sweet spices on it every morning. When he tends the lamps, he shall burn it.

8 When Aaron lights the lamps at evening, he shall burn it, a perpetual incense before Yahweh throughout your generations.

9 You shall offer no strange incense on it, nor burnt offering, nor meal offering; and you shall pour no drink offering on it.

10 Aaron shall make atonement on its horns once in the year; with the blood of the sin offering of atonement once in the year he shall make atonement for it throughout your generations. It is most holy to Yahweh."

11 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

12 "When you take a census of the children of Israel, according to those who are numbered among them, then each man shall give a ransom for his soul to Yahweh, when you number them; that there be no plague among them when you number them.

13 They shall give this, everyone who passes over to those who are numbered, half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary; (the shekel is twenty gerahs;) half a shekel for an offering to Yahweh.

14 Everyone who passes over to those who are numbered, from twenty years old and upward, shall give the offering to Yahweh.

15 The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less, than the half shekel, when they give the offering of Yahweh, to make atonement for your souls.

16 You shall take the atonement money from the children of Israel, and shall appoint it for the service of the Tent of Meeting; that it may be a memorial for the children of Israel before Yahweh, to make atonement for your souls."

17 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

18 "You shall also make a basin of brass, and its base of brass, in which to wash. You shall put it between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and you shall put water in it.

19 Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet in it.

20 When they go into the Tent of Meeting, they shall wash with water, that they not die; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn an offering made by fire to Yahweh.

21 So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they not die: and it shall be a statute forever to them, even to him and to his descendants throughout their generations."

22 Moreover Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

23 "Also take fine spices: of liquid myrrh, five hundred shekels; and of fragrant cinnamon half as much, even two hundred and fifty; and of fragrant cane, two hundred and fifty;

24 and of cassia five hundred, after the shekel of the sanctuary; and a hin of olive oil.

25 You shall make it a holy anointing oil, a perfume compounded after the art of the perfumer: it shall be a holy anointing oil.

26 You shall use it to anoint the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the testimony,

27 the table and all its articles, the lampstand and its accessories, the altar of incense,

28 the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the basin with its base.

29 You shall sanctify them, that they may be most holy. Whatever touches them shall be holy.

30 You shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and sanctify them, that they may minister to me in the priest's office.

31 You shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, 'This shall be a holy anointing oil to me throughout your generations.

32 It shall not be poured on man's flesh, neither shall you make any like it, according to its composition: it is holy. It shall be holy to you.

33 Whoever compounds any like it, or whoever puts any of it on a stranger, he shall be cut off from his people.'"

34 Yahweh said to Moses, "Take to yourself sweet spices, gum resin, and onycha, and galbanum; sweet spices with pure frankincense: of each shall there be an equal weight;

35 and you shall make incense of it, a perfume after the art of the perfumer, seasoned with salt, pure and holy:

36 and you shall beat some of it very small, and put some of it before the testimony in the Tent of Meeting, where I will meet with you. It shall be to you most holy.

37 The incense which you shall make, according to its composition you shall not make for yourselves: it shall be to you holy for Yahweh.

38 Whoever shall make any like that, to smell of it, he shall be cut off from his people."
