Exodus 39

Studie

   

1 Ja kootud riided pühamu teenistuseks tehti sinisest, purpurpunasest ja helepunasest lõngast; samuti tehti Aaronile pühad riided, nagu Issand Moosest oli käskinud.

2 Õlarüü tehti kuldsest, sinisest, purpurpunasest ja helepunasest lõngast ning korrutatud linasest lõimest.

3 Kuldplaadid taoti õhukeseks ja lõigati kiududeks, et neid kunstipäraselt kududa sinise, purpurpunase ja helepunase lõnga ning linase lõime sekka.

4 Õlarüüle tehti ühendatud õlatükid, mõlemast otsast seotud.

5 Kunstipärane kinnitusvöö selle küljes oli sellega ühest tükist ja samasugune töö kuldsest, sinisest, purpurpunasest ja helepunasest lõngast ning korrutatud linasest lõimest, nagu Issand Moosest oli käskinud.

6 Siis ümbritseti kuldäärisega karneoolikivid, millesse olid pitsatitaoliselt uurendatud Iisraeli poegade nimed.

7 Need asetati õlarüü õlatükkidele kui mälestuskivid Iisraeli poegadele, nagu Issand Moosest oli käskinud.

8 Rinnakilp tehti kunstipäraselt kootuna, nagu oli tehtud õlarüügi, kuldsest, sinisest, purpurpunasest ja helepunasest lõngast ning korrutatud linasest lõimest.

9 See oli neljanurgeline; rinnakilp oli tehtud kahekordsena, vaksapikkune ja vaksalaiune kahekordselt.

10 See kaeti nelja rea kalliskividega: rubiin, topaas, smaragd ridamisi esimeses reas;

11 teises reas: türkiis, safiir, jaspis;

12 kolmandas reas: hüatsint, ahhaat, ametüst;

13 neljandas reas: krüsoliit, karneool, nefriit; kuldäärisest ümbritsetuna olid need oma asemeis.

14 Kivid olid vastavalt Iisraeli poegade nimedele nende kaheteistkümne nimega, igal pitsatitaoliselt uurendatud nimi vastavalt kaheteistkümnele suguharule.

15 Rinnakilbile tehti puhtast kullast nööritaoliselt keerutatud ketid.

16 Siis tehti kaks kuldäärist ja kaks kuldrõngast; need mõlemad rõngad kinnitati rinnakilbi kahe nurga külge.

17 Ja need kaks kuldnööri pandi mõlemasse rõngasse rinnakilbi nurkadel.

18 Mõlema nööri mõlemad otsad kinnitati mõlema äärise külge ja need kinnitati õlatükkidele õlarüü esiküljes.

19 Siis tehti kaks kuldrõngast ja need pandi rinnakilbi kahte nurka, selle ääre külge, mis on seespool vastu õlarüüd.

20 Siis tehti veel kaks kuldrõngast ja need kinnitati õlarüü mõlema õlatüki külge, selle esikülje allosasse, ühenduskohale ülespoole õlarüü vööd.

21 Rõngastega rinnakilp seoti sinise nööriga õlarüü rõngaste külge, nõnda et see oli ülalpool õlarüü vööd, ja et rinnakilp ei saanud lahti tulla õlarüü küljest, nagu Issand Moosest oli käskinud.

22 Õlarüü ülekuub tehti üleni sinisest lõngast kootuna.

23 Ülekuue pea avaus oli nagu raudrüü avaus: avause ümber oli äär, et see ei rebeneks.

24 Ülekuue palistuse külge tehti granaatõunad sinisest, purpurpunasest ja helepunasest korrutatud lõngast.

25 Siis tehti puhtast kullast kellukesed ja need kinnitati granaatõunte vahele ümber ülekuue palistuse, granaatõunte vahele:

26 kelluke ja granaatõun, kelluke ja granaatõun ümber teenistusülekuue palistuse, nagu Issand Moosest oli käskinud.

27 Aaronile ja tema poegadele tehti kootud linased särgid,

28 linasest riidest peakate ja linasest riidest mähitavad peamähised, linased korrutatud lõngast püksid,

29 ja korrutatud linasest, sinisest, purpurpunasest ja helepunasest lõngast kunstipäraselt tehtud vöö, nagu Issand Moosest oli käskinud.

30 Puhtast kullast tehti laubaehe, püha kroon, ja selle peale kirjutati pitsatiuurenduse sarnaselt kiri: 'Issandale pühitsetud.'

31 Selle külge kinnitati sinine nöör, millega see seoti üles peakatte külge, nagu Issand Moosest oli käskinud.

32 Nõnda valmis kogu töö: elamu, kogudusetelk. Iisraeli lapsed tegid kõik. Nõnda nagu Issand Moosest oli käskinud, nõnda nad tegid.

33 Siis nad tõid Moosese juurde elamu, telgi ja kõik selle riistad, haagid, lauad, põiklatid, sambad ja jalad,

34 katte punastest jääranahkadest, katte merilehmanahkadest, katva eesriide,

35 tunnistuslaeka ja selle kangid, lepituskaane,

36 laua kõigi selle riistadega, ohvrileivad,

37 puhtast kullast lambijala lampidega lampide reastuses, ja kõik selle riistad, valgustusõli,

38 kuldaltari, võideõli, healõhnalisi suitsutusrohte, telgi ukse katte,

39 vaskaltari ja vaskvõrestiku selle küljes, selle kangid ja kõik riistad, pesemisnõu ja selle jala,

40 õue eesriided, selle sambad ja jalad, õuevärava katte, selle nöörid ja vaiad, kõik riistad kogudusetelgi teenistuseks,

41 ametiriided pühamu teenistuseks, preester Aaroni pühad riided ja tema poegade preestriameti riided.

42 Täpselt, nagu Issand Moosest oli käskinud, nõnda olid Iisraeli lapsed teinud kõik selle töö.

43 Ja Mooses vaatas kõike seda tööd ja näe, nad olid selle teinud, nagu Issand oli käskinud. Nad olid just nõnda teinud. Ja Mooses õnnistas neid.

9959. 'And make for them linen undergarments' means an external level of conjugial love. This is clear from the meaning of 'undergarments' as an external level of conjugial love, dealt with below; and from the meaning of 'linen' as external truth or natural truth, also dealt with below. The reason why an external level of conjugial love is meant by 'undergarments' is that garments or coverings derive their meaning from the part of the body they cover, 9827, and the loins and genital organs, which the undergarments clothe or cover, mean conjugial love. For 'the loins' and their meaning this love, see 3021, 4280, 4575; and for 'the genital organs' and their meaning it, 4462, 5050-5062. What truly conjugial love is will be stated below in 9960.

[2] The undergarments were made from linen because 'linen' or 'flax' means external truth or natural truth, 7601, and what constitutes the actual external is truth. The reason why truth constitutes the external is that internal things terminate in external ones and rest on them as their underlying supports, and the underlying supports of good are truths. These are like the foundations on which a house is built or on which a house rests, which is why the truths of faith springing from good are meant by the foundations of a house, 9643. Truths furthermore are what protect forms of good from and withstand evils and falsities, all the power that good possesses being exerted by means of truths, 9643. So it is also that the last and lowest part of heaven is inhabited by those who are guided by truths of faith springing from good. So it is also therefore that what is last or most external with a person, namely his external skin, corresponds to those in heaven who are guided by the truths of faith, 5552-5559, 8980, yet not to those who uphold faith separated from good, since they are not in heaven. From all this it may now be recognized why the undergarments were made from linen or flax. Aaron's undergarment however, when he was clothed with the garments which were 'for glorious adornment', and which have been the subject in the present chapter, was made of fine linen together with interwoven fine linen, as is evident from a later chapter where it says,

They made tunics of fine linen, the work of a weaver, and a turban of fine linen, and attractive headdresses 1 from fine linen, and linen undergarments with fine twined linen. Exodus 39:27-28.

But when he was clothed with the 'holy garments' Aaron's undergarment was made of linen alone, as is clear from the following in Moses,

When Aaron comes into the sanctuary within the veil he shall put on the holy linen tunic, and the linen undergarment shall be over his flesh, and he shall gird himself with the linen belt, and place the linen turban on himself. These are holy garments. He shall also wash his flesh with water when he puts them on. He shall then first offer burnt offerings and sacrifices, by means of which he will expiate the holy place from uncleannesses. Leviticus 16:1-end.

[3] The reason why Aaron was to go at that time clothed in the linen garments, which were also called 'the holy garments', was that at that time he was performing the duty of expiating the tent, and also the people and himself from uncleannesses. And every expiation, which was accomplished by means of washings, burnt offerings, and sacrifices, represented purification of the heart from evils and falsities, and so represented regeneration; and purification from evils and falsities, or regeneration, is accomplished by means of the truths of faith. This was why Aaron wore the linen garments then, for the truths of faith are meant by 'linen garments', as stated above.

All purification from evils and falsities is accomplished by means of the truths of faith, see 2799, 5954 (end), 7044, 7918, 9089. So therefore is regeneration, 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 also that the priest was to put on the linen robe and the linen undergarment when he carried the ash away from the altar, Leviticus 6:9-11, and also that 'the priests, the Levites, from the sons of Zadok' were to put it on, when they entered the sanctuary, regarding whom the following is stated in Ezekiel,

The priests, the Levites, the sons of Zadok, shall enter My sanctuary, and they shall draw near My table to minister to Me. When they enter the gates of the inner court they shall put on the linen garments, and no wool shall come upon them. When they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within, the linen turbans shall be on their heads, and the linen undergarments shall be over their loins. They shall not gird themselves with sweat. 2 Ezekiel 44:15-18.

The subject in this passage is the new temple, by which a new Church is meant. By 'the priests, the Levites' those guided by truths springing from good are meant, and by 'the linen garments' the truths of faith by means of which purification and regeneration are accomplished. 'Not girding themselves with sweat' means that the holy things of worship should not be mingled with the human self; for 'sweat' means the human self or proprium, and the human proprium is nothing but evil and falsity, 210, 215, 694, 874-876, 987, 1047, 3812 (end), 8480, 8941.

[5] The reason why the undergarment Aaron wore when he was clothed with the garments 'for glorious adornment' was made of linen together with fine twined linen, as is evident from Exodus 39:27-28, quoted above, was that Aaron in those garments represented the Lord in respect of Divine Good in the heavens, Aaron himself representing the Lord in respect of the Divine Celestial there, his garments the Lord in respect of the Divine Spiritual there emanating from the Divine Celestial, 9814, and fine linen the Divine Spiritual emanating from the Divine Celestial, 5319, 9469.
