Exodus 26

Studie

   

1 Tee elamu kümnest vaibast, mis on korrutatud linasest lõimest, sinisest, purpurpunasest ja helepunasest lõngast; tee need kunstipäraselt sissekootud keerubitega!

2 Iga vaiba pikkus olgu kakskümmend kaheksa küünart ja iga vaiba laius neli küünart; kõigil vaipadel olgu samad mõõdud!

3 Viis vaipa seotagu üksteisega kokku, samuti seotagu ka teised viis vaipa üksteisega kokku!

4 Tee sinised aasad esimese vaiba servale, äärmisele esimeses reastuses; samasugused tee ka teise reastuse äärmise vaiba servale!

5 Tee viiskümmend aasa esimesele vaibale ja tee viiskümmend aasa vaiba servale, mis on teises reastuses; aasad olgu üksteisega kohakuti!

6 Tee ka viiskümmend kuldhaaki ja ühenda nende haakidega vaibad üksteise külge, et neist saaks täielik elamu!

7 Ja tee kitsekarvadest vaibad telgiks elamu peale; neid vaipu tee üksteist!

8 Iga vaiba pikkus olgu kolmkümmend küünart ja iga vaiba laius neli küünart; üheteistkümnel vaibal olgu samad mõõdud!

9 Seo kokku viis vaipa eraldi ja kuus vaipa eraldi, aga kuues vaip pane kahekordselt telgi suule!

10 Tee viiskümmend aasa esimese vaiba servale, äärmisele reastuses, ja viiskümmend aasa vaiba servale teises reastuses!

11 Tee viiskümmend vaskhaaki, pista haagid aasadesse ja ühenda telk üheks tervikuks!

12 Telgi vaipade liigse ülerippuvuse korral rippugu pool liigsest vaibast elamu tagaküljes!

13 Küünar siitpoolt ja küünar sealtpoolt telgi vaipade liigsest pikkusest rippugu üle elamu külgede, kattes seda siit- ja sealtpoolt!

14 Tee telgile kate punakaist jääranahkadest ja selle peale veel teine kate merilehmanahkadest!

15 Tee elamule akaatsiapuust püstipandavad lauad!

16 Iga laua pikkus olgu kümme küünart ja iga laua laius poolteist küünart!

17 Igal laual olgu kaks tappi, mis üksteisega on ühendatud; nõnda tee kõik elamu lauad!

18 Tee elamule laudu: kakskümmend lauda lõunapoolse külje jaoks lõuna poole!

19 Tee kahekümnele lauale alla nelikümmend hõbejalga: kaks jalga iga laua alla mõlema tapi jaoks!

20 Ja elamu teise külje jaoks, põhja poole, kakskümmend lauda

21 ja nende nelikümmend hõbejalga: kaks jalga iga laua all.

22 Aga elamu läänepoolse tagakülje jaoks tee kuus lauda!

23 Ja tee kaks lauda elamu tagakülje nurkade jaoks!

24 Need moodustagu kaksiklauad, mis on ühendatud alt üles kuni esimese rõngani; nõnda olgu see nende mõlemaga, neist saagu mõlemad nurgad!

25 Neid on siis kaheksa lauda ja nende hõbejalgu on kuusteist jalga: kaks jalga iga laua all.

26 Tee akaatsiapuust põiklatid: viis latti elamu ühe külje laudade jaoks,

27 viis latti elamu teise külje laudade jaoks ja viis latti elamu küljelaudade jaoks läänepoolses tagaküljes!

28 Keskmine põiklatt keset laudu kulgegu servast servani!

29 Karda lauad kullaga ja tee neile kullast rõngad lattide asemeiks; karda ka latid kullaga!

30 Siis püstita elamu plaani järgi, mis sulle mäel näidati!

31 Ja tee eesriie sinisest, purpurpunasest ja helepunasest lõngast ning korrutatud linasest lõimest, sisse kududes keerubite kujud!

32 Riputa see kullaga karratud nelja akaatsiapuust samba külge, millel on kuldhaagid ja mis seisavad neljal hõbejalal!

33 Riputa eesriie haakide külge ja vii sinna eesriide taha tunnistuslaegas! Ja eesriie eraldagu teile püha ja kõige pühamat paika!

34 Pane lepituskaas tunnistuslaekale peale kõige pühamas paigas!

35 Aseta laud eesriide ette ja lauaga kohakuti lambijalg elamu lõunapoolsesse külge; laud aga pane põhjapoolsesse külge!

36 Tee kate ka telgi uksele sinisest, purpurpunasest ja helepunasest lõngast ning korrutatud linasest lõimest kunstipäraselt kootuna!

37 Katte jaoks tee viis akaatsiapuust sammast ja karda need kullaga; nende haagid olgu kullast; ja vala neile viis vaskjalga!

9595. 'Ten curtains' means all the truths of which it consists. This is clear from the meaning of 'ten' as all, dealt with in 4638, so that 'a tenth part', which is one curtain, means a sufficient amount, 8468, 8540; and from the meaning of 'curtains' as the interior truths of faith which belong to the new understanding. For 'the dwelling-place' means the middle or second heaven, which is heaven by virtue of its reception of Divine Truth emanating from the Lord's Divine Good, as shown above in 9594; consequently the curtains of which it was assembled and which enveloped it are the truths of faith belonging to the new understanding. They are interior truths, because exterior truths are meant by the curtains made from [the hair of] goats for the tent going all the way round, which are also dealt with in the present chapter.

[2] The fact that 'curtains' are the truths of faith which those in the Lord's spiritual kingdom possess is clear from places in the Word where they are mentioned, as in Isaiah,

Sing, O barren one that did not bear; for the sons of her that is desolate will be more than the sons of her that is married. Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch out the curtains of your dwelling-places. Lengthen the ropes, because you will break out to the right and to the left, and your seed will inherit the nations. Isaiah 54:1-3.

This refers to the Church to be established among the gentiles, which is called 'a barren one that did not bear' because it lacks truths from the Word, 9325. It says that 'her sons will be more than those of her that is married' because it will have more truths than the devastated former Church had; for 'sons' are truths, 489, 491, 533, 1147, 3373, 3704. 'Enlarging the place of the tent' stands for the holiness of worship springing from the good of love, 3312, 4391, 4599, 'stretching out the curtains of dwelling-places' for the holiness of worship springing from the truths of faith.

[3] In Jeremiah,

The whole land has been laid waste. Suddenly My tents have been laid waste, My curtains in a moment. Jeremiah 4:20.

'A land laid waste' stands for the Church, 9325, 'tents laid waste' for the holiness of worship springing from the good of love, 'curtains laid waste' for holy worship springing from the truths of faith.

[4] In the same prophet,

My tent has been laid waste, and all My ropes torn away. My sons have gone away from Me, and they are not. There is no one stretching out My tent any more, and setting up My curtains. For the shepherds have become stupid. Jeremiah 10:20-21.

Here the meaning is similar. In the same prophet,

Arise and go up against Arabia, and lay waste the sons of the east. They will take their tents and flocks, their curtains and all their vessels, and bear their camels away for themselves. Jeremiah 49:28-29.

'Arabia' and 'the sons of the east' stand for those with cognitions or knowledge of goodness and truth, 3249; 'taking tents and flocks' stands for taking the Church's forms of interior good, 8937, 'taking curtains' for taking the Church's interior truths, 'their vessels' the Church's exterior truths, 3068, 3079, 'camels' general facts, 3048, 3071, 3143, 3145. In Habakkuk,

Below Aven I saw the tents of Cushan; the curtains of Midian shook. Habakkuk 3:7.

'The curtains of Midian' stands for the truths with those governed by simple good, 3242, 4756, 4788, 6773, 6775.

[5] All this shows what is meant by the following in David,

O Jehovah, You have put on glory and honour - He who covers Himself with light, as if with a garment; He stretches out the heavens like a curtain. Psalms 104:1-2.

'Covering Himself with light, as if with a garment' stands for Divine Truths. Truth is meant by 'light', see 9548, and also by 'a garment', 4545, 4763, 5319, 5954, 9093, 9212, 9216; therefore 'stretching out the heavens like a curtain' means enlarging the heavens by means of an influx of God's truth, from which come intelligence and wisdom. 'Stretching and spreading out the heavens' has reference to the new or regenerated understanding part of the mind, see at the end of the very next paragraph, 9596.

Exodus 26

1 "Moreover you shall make the tabernacle with ten curtains; of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, with cherubim. The work of the skillful workman you shall make them.

2 The length of each curtain shall be twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits: all the curtains shall have one measure.

3 Five curtains shall be coupled together one to another; and the other five curtains shall be coupled one to another.

4 You shall make loops of blue on the edge of the one curtain from the edge in the coupling; and likewise you shall make in the edge of the curtain that is outmost in the second coupling.

5 You shall make fifty loops in the one curtain, and you shall make fifty loops in the edge of the curtain that is in the second coupling. The loops shall be opposite one to another.

6 You shall make fifty clasps of gold, and couple the curtains one to another with the clasps: and the tabernacle shall be a unit.

7 "You shall make curtains of goats' hair for a covering over the tabernacle. You shall make them eleven curtains.

8 The length of each curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits: the eleven curtains shall have one measure.

9 You shall couple five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves, and shall double over the sixth curtain in the forefront of the tent.

10 You shall make fifty loops on the edge of the one curtain that is outmost in the coupling, and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain which is outmost in the second coupling.

11 You shall make fifty clasps of brass, and put the clasps into the loops, and couple the tent together, that it may be one.

12 The overhanging part that remains of the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that remains, shall hang over the back of the tabernacle.

13 The cubit on the one side, and the cubit on the other side, of that which remains in the length of the curtains of the tent, shall hang over the sides of the tabernacle on this side and on that side, to cover it.

14 You shall make a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering of sea cow hides above.

15 "You shall make the boards for the tabernacle of acacia wood, standing up.

16 Ten cubits shall be the length of a board, and one and a half cubits the breadth of each board.

17 There shall be two tenons in each board, joined to one another: thus you shall make for all the boards of the tabernacle.

18 You shall make the boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards for the south side southward.

19 You shall make forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards; two sockets under one board for its two tenons, and two sockets under another board for its two tenons.

20 For the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, twenty boards,

21 and their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.

22 For the far part of the tabernacle westward you shall make six boards.

23 You shall make two boards for the corners of the tabernacle in the far part.

24 They shall be double beneath, and in the same way they shall be whole to its top to one ring: thus shall it be for them both; they shall be for the two corners.

25 There shall be eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.

26 "You shall make bars of acacia wood: five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,

27 and five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the side of the tabernacle, for the far part westward.

28 The middle bar in the midst of the boards shall pass through from end to end.

29 You shall overlay the boards with gold, and make their rings of gold for places for the bars: and you shall overlay the bars with gold.

30 You shall set up the tabernacle according to the way that it was shown to you on the mountain.

31 "You shall make a veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, with cherubim. The work of the skillful workman shall it be made.

32 You shall hang it on four pillars of acacia overlaid with gold; their hooks shall be of gold, on four sockets of silver.

33 You shall hang up the veil under the clasps, and shall bring the ark of the testimony in there within the veil: and the veil shall separate the holy place from the most holy for you.

34 You shall put the mercy seat on the ark of the testimony in the most holy place.

35 You shall set the table outside the veil, and the lampstand over against the table on the side of the tabernacle toward the south: and you shall put the table on the north side.

36 "You shall make a screen for the door of the Tent, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of the embroiderer.

37 You shall make for the screen five pillars of acacia, and overlay them with gold: their hooks shall be of gold: and you shall cast five sockets of brass for them.
