Exodus 25

Studie

   

1 Ja Issand rääkis Moosesega, öeldes:

2 'Ütle Iisraeli lastele, et nad tooksid mulle tõstelõivu; igaühelt, kes annab heast südamest, võtke minu tõstelõivu.

3 Ja see on tõstelõiv, mida te peate neilt võtma: kulda, hõbedat ja vaske,

4 sinist, purpurpunast ja helepunast lõnga ning peent linast lõime, kitsekarvu,

5 punaseid jääranahku, merilehmanahku, akaatsiapuud,

6 valgustusõli, palsameid võideõliks ja healõhnalisi suitsutusrohte,

7 karneoolikive ja ilustuskive õlarüü ja rinnakilbi jaoks.

8 Ja nad tehku mulle pühamu, siis ma asun elama nende keskele.

9 Tehke täpselt eeskuju järgi, mida ma sulle näitan, elamu ja kõigi selle riistade mudeli järgi!

10 Laegas tehtagu akaatsiapuust, kaks ja pool küünart pikk, poolteist küünart lai ja poolteist küünart kõrge.

11 Kata see puhta kullaga, kata seest- ja väljastpoolt ja tee sellele kuldpärg ümber!

12 Vala selle jaoks neli kuldrõngast ja kinnita need ta nelja jala külge, kaks rõngast ühte külge ja kaks rõngast teise külge!

13 Tee kandekangid akaatsiapuust ja karda need kullaga!

14 Pista kangid rõngastesse laeka külgedel, et nendega saaks laegast kanda!

15 Kangid jäägu laeka rõngastesse, neid ärgu sealt välja võetagu!

16 Pane laekasse tunnistus, mille ma sulle annan!

17 Tee puhtast kullast lepituskaas, kaks ja pool küünart pikk ja poolteist küünart lai!

18 Tee kullast kaks keerubit; tee need sepisena lepituskaane kumbagi otsa!

19 Pane üks keerub ühte otsa ja teine keerub teise otsa; pange keerubid lepituskaane kumbagi otsa!

20 Keerubid sirutagu oma tiivad ülespoole, et nad tiibadega kataksid lepituskaant, ja nende palged olgu vastamisi; keerubite palged olgu lepituskaane poole!

21 Aseta lepituskaas laekale peale ja pane laekasse tunnistus, mille ma sulle annan!

22 Seal ma siis ilmutan ennast sulle ja kõnelen sinuga lepituskaanel mõlema keerubi vahel, mis on tunnistuslaeka peal, kõigest, mida ma sind käsin Iisraeli lastele öelda.

23 Tee akaatsiapuust laud, kaks küünart pikk, küünar lai ja poolteist küünart kõrge!

24 Karda see puhta kullaga ja tee sellele kuldpärg ümber!

25 Tee sellele kämblalaiune põõn ümber ja tee kuldpärg ümber selle põõna!

26 Tee sellele neli kuldrõngast ja kinnita rõngad nelja nurga külge selle nelja jala juures!

27 Rõngad olgu otse põõna kõrval kangide asemeiks laua kandmisel.

28 Tee laua kandmiseks akaatsiapuust kangid ja karda need kullaga!

29 Tee sellele vaagnad ja kausid, kannud ja peekrid joogiohvri toomiseks; tee need puhtast kullast!

30 Ja pane alati ohvrileibu lauale mu palge ette!

31 Tee puhtast kullast lambijalg; see lambijalg olgu sepistatud töö aluse ja harudega; selle karikakesed, nupud ja õiekesed olgu sellega ühest tükist!

32 Selle küljest lähtugu kuus haru: ühest küljest kolm lambijala haru ja teisest küljest kolm lambijala haru!

33 Ühel harul olgu kolm mandliõiekujulist karikakest nupu ja õiekesega, samuti olgu teisel harul kolm mandliõiekujulist karikakest nupu ja õiekesega; nõnda olgu neil kuuel harul, mis lambijalast lähtuvad.

34 Aga lambijalal enesel olgu neli mandliõiekujulist karikakest nupu ja õiekesega:

35 iga harupaari all olgu üks nupp neil kuuel harul, mis lambijalast lähtuvad.

36 Nupud ja harud olgu sellega ühest tükist terviklik sepisetöö puhtast kullast.

37 Tee sellele seitse lampi; lambid seatagu üles nõnda, et need valgustaksid oma esist!

38 Tahikäärid ja tahikarbid olgu puhtast kullast!

39 See tehtagu ühest talendist puhtast kullast koos kõigi nende riistadega!

40 Ja vaata, et sa need teed nende eeskujude järgi, mis sulle mäel näidati!

308. What 'the east' means and what 'the garden of Eden' means has been shown already and therefore there is no need to pause over them here. But the fact that 'cherubim' means the Lord's providing against a person's insanely entering into mysteries of faith from the proprium, sensory evidence, and factual knowledge as the starting point, and against his profaning those mysteries, and in so doing perishing, becomes clear from several places in the Word where mention is made of cherubim. Because the Jews were the kind of people who, if they had had any clear knowledge about the Lord's Coming, about the fact that the representatives, or types, in that Church meant the Lord, about life after death, about the inner man, and if they had had any clear knowledge of the internal sense of the Word, they would have committed profanation and would have perished for ever; the Lord's protection against this therefore was represented by the cherubim on the Mercy Seat over the Ark, and by those on the curtains of the Tabernacle, and on its veil, and similarly in the Temple. And the provision of the cherubim meant the Lord's care and protection of them, Exodus 25:18-21; 26:1, 31;1 Kings 6:23-29, 32, 35. For the Ark, which contained the covenant, had the same meaning as the tree of life 1 does here, that is, the Lord and heavenly things which are altogether His. Consequently the Lord is also many times called 'the God of Israel seated upon the cherubim'; and it was from between the cherubim that He spoke to Aaron and Moses, Exodus 25:22; Numbers 7:89.

[2] A plain description of this exists in Ezekiel where the following is stated,

The glory of the God of Israel was raised up from above the cherub over which it had been, towards the threshold of the house. He called out to the man clothed in linen. And He said to him, Pass through the middle of the city, through the middle of Jerusalem, and put a mark upon the foreheads of the men who groan and sigh over all the abominations committed in the middle of it. And to the others He said, Pass through the city after him and smite; let not your eye spare, and show no clemency; slay outright old men, young men, virgins, little children, and women. Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain. 2 Ezekiel 9:3-7.

And later on,

He said to the man clothed in linen, Go into the wheel underneath the cherub, and fill the palms of your hands with coals of fire from between the cherubim and spread them over the city. A cherub stretched out his hand from between the cherubim to the fire that was between the cherubim, and he took [some of it] and put it into the palms of the man clothed in linen; and he took it and went out. Ezekiel 10:1-7.

From these verses it is clear that the Lord's providence which guards against people's penetrating mysteries of faith is meant by 'the cherubim', and that people were therefore abandoned to their insane desires, which in this quotation are also meant by 'the fire which was spread over the city', and by 'nobody's being spared'.
