Exodus 27

Studie

   

1 Tee akaatsiapuust altar, viis küünart pikk ja viis küünart lai; altar olgu neljanurgeline ja kolm küünart kõrge!

2 Tee selle neljale nurgale sarved; sarved olgu sellega ühest tükist ja karda see vasega!

3 Tee selle juurde kuuluvad nõud tuha koristamiseks, labidad, piserdusnõud, hargid ja sütepannid; kõik selle riistad tee vasest!

4 Tee sellele võrestik, võrgukujuline töö vasest; tee võrgule neli vaskrõngast nelja nurga külge!

5 Pane see allapoole altari äärt, et võrk ulatuks altpoolt vaadates poole altarini!

6 Tee altarile kandekangid, akaatsiapuust kangid, ja karda need vasega!

7 Kangid pistetagu rõngastesse; kangid olgu kummalgi pool altarit, kui seda kantakse!

8 Tee see laudadest õõnsakujulisena; nõnda nagu sulle mäel näidati, nõnda tehtagu see!

9 Tee elamule õu: lõunakaares olgu õuel eesriided korrutatud linasest lõimest, saja küünra pikkuses ühe külje jaoks;

10 ja selle kakskümmend sammast ja kakskümmend vaskjalga; sammaste haagid ja põrgad olgu hõbedast!

11 Nõndasamuti olgu ka põhjapoolses pikemas küljes eesriideid saja küünra pikkuses, ja nende tarvis kakskümmend sammast ja kakskümmend vaskjalga; sammaste haagid ja põrgad olgu hõbedast!

12 Ja vastavalt õue laiusele, läänepoolses küljes, olgu viiskümmend küünart eesriideid, nende kümme sammast ja kümme jalga!

13 Õue laius esiküljes, ida pool, olgu viiskümmend küünart!

14 Seal olgu ühel pool viisteist küünart eesriideid, nende kolm sammast ja kolm jalga,

15 samuti olgu teisel pool viisteist küünart eesriideid, nende kolm sammast ja kolm jalga!

16 Õueväraval olgu kahekümneküünrane kate sinisest, purpurpunasest ja helepunasest lõngast ning korrutatud linasest lõimest kunstipäraselt kootud; sellel olgu neli sammast ja neli jalga!

17 Kõigil sambail ümber õue olgu hõbedast põrgad, samuti hõbedast haagid, aga vasest jalad!

18 Õue pikkus olgu sada küünart ja laius mõlemalt poolt viiskümmend küünart; eesriie olgu viis küünart kõrge, korrutatud linasest lõimest; ja jalad olgu vasest!

19 Kõik elamu riistad kõigeks selle teenistuseks, kõik vaiad ja kõik õue vaiad olgu vasest!

20 Ja sina käsi Iisraeli lapsi, et nad tooksid sulle valgustuse jaoks puhast tambitud oliiviõli, lampide alaliseks ülesseadmiseks.

21 Kogudusetelgis, väljaspool eesriiet, mis on tunnistuslaeka ees, peab Aaron oma poegadega seda korraldama Issanda ees õhtust hommikuni. See olgu igaveseks seadluseks Iisraeli laste tulevastele põlvedele!

10133. Continually. That this signifies in all Divine worship, is evident from the signification of “continually,” when said of such things as belong to Divine worship, as being all, and in all; for the subject treated of is purification from evils and falsities through the good of innocence, this good being signified by “lambs;” and purification from evils and the derivative falsities, by a “burnt-offering from them.” This is said to be “continually,” because it was to be in all Divine worship; therefore also it was offered twice every day; in the morning, and in the evening; and what was offered morning and evening represented in general all worship and in all worship. For the good of innocence must be in all good, and from this in all truth, in order that it maybe good and truth in which there is life from the Divine; thus it must be in all worship, for all worship must be from the good of love and from the truths of faith, in order that it may be worship. (That all the good of the church and of heaven has innocence in it, and that without innocence good is not good, and thus worship is not worship, see n. 2736, 2780, 6013, 7840, 7887, 9262; also what innocence is, n. 3994, 4001, 4797, 5236, 6107, 6765, 7902, 9262, 9936, and the places cited at the end of n. 10021.)

[2] That “continually” denotes all, and in all, that is, all of worship and in all worship, is because it involves time. And in the heavens, where the Word is not understood in the natural sense, but in the spiritual sense, there is not any notion of time, but instead of times are perceived such things as belong to state. Here therefore by “continually” is perceived a perpetual state in worship, thus all worship, and in all worship. So it is with all the other expressions in the Word which involve anything of time, as by “yesterday,” “today,” “tomorrow,” “two days,” “three days,” by a “day,” a “week,” a “month,” and a “year;” and also by the times of the day and of the year, as by “morning,” “noon,” “evening,” “night;” “spring,” “summer,” “autumn,” and “winter.” Therefore in order that the spiritual sense of the Word may be understood, everything from its natural sense that relates to time and place, and likewise everything that relates to person, must be rejected, and instead thereof states must be thought of; from all which it can be seen how pure is the Word in the internal sense, thus how purely it is perceived by the angels in the heavens, consequently how superior are the wisdom and intelligence of the angels to the intelligence and wisdom of men, who think only from the natural fixed upon things most finite in the world and the earth. (That times in the heavens are states, see n. 1274, 1382, 2625, 2788, 2837, 3254, 3356, 3404, 3827, 4814, 4882, 4901, 4916, 6110, 7218, 7381, 8070; as also what is meant by states, see n. 4850)

[3] From all this it is evident what is signified by the “continual burnt-offering from lambs;” thus what by “continual” and “continually” in other places; as that the fire should burn continually upon the altar (Leviticus 6:13); and that continual bread should be upon the table (Numbers 4:7). By “fire,” and by “bread,” is here signified the good of love from the Lord to the Lord (that “fire” denotes this, see n. 4906, 5215, 6314, 6832, 6834, 6849, 7324, 7852, 10055; and also “bread,” n. 2165, 2177, 3478, 3735, 3813, 4211, 4217, 4735, 4976, 9323, 9545). By “continual” is here also signified that this good must be in all worship. And that from this good as from its fire must shine the truth of faith, is signified by “making the lamp to go up continually” (Exodus 27:20). (That a “lamp” denotes the truth and good of faith, see n. 9548, 9783)
