1 Ja Herra puhui Mosekselle, sanoen:

2 Katso, minä kutsuin nimeltänsä Betsaleelin Urin pojan, Hurin pojanpojan, Juudan suvusta.

3 Ja täytin hänen Jumalan hengellä: viisaudella ja kaikkinaisella taidolla:

4 Taitoja ylösajattelemaan, ja tekemään kullasta, ja hopiasta, ja vaskesta,

5 Taitavasti leikkaamaan ja sisälle panemaan kivet, ja taitavasti tekemään puusta kaikkinaista työtä.

6 Ja katso, minä annoin myös hänelle avuksi Oholiabin Ahisamakin pojan, Danin suvusta, ja itsekunkin taitavan sydämeen annoin minä taidon tekemään kaikkia, mitä minä olen sinulle käskenyt:

7 Seurakunnan majan ja liiton arkin, ja armo-istuimen, joka sen päällä on, ja kaikki majan astiat,

8 Pöydän ja sen astiat, ja puhtaan kynttilänjalan, ja kaikki sen kalut, ja myös savu-alttarin.

9 Polttouhri-alttarin ja kaikki sen kalut, ja myös pesoastian jalkoinensa,

10 Ja virkavaatteet, ja papin Aaronin pyhät vaatteet, ja hänen poikainsa vaatteet, papin virkaan,

11 Voidellusöljyn ja suitsutuksen hajavista kaluista, pyhään: kaiken sen jälkeen, kuin minä olen sinulle käskenyt, pitää heidän tekemän.

12 Ja Herra puhui Mosekselle, sanoen:

13 Puhu Israelin lapsille, sanoen: teidän pitää kaiketi pitämän minun sabbatini; sillä se on merkki minun välilläni ja teidän, teidän suvuissanne, että te tietäisitte minun olevan Herran, joka teitä pyhitän.

14 Sentähden pitäkäät sabbati; sillä se on teillä pyhä. Joka sen rikkoo, hänen pitää totisesti kuoleman; sillä kuka ikänänsä silloin työtä tekee, sen sielu pitää hävitettämän kansansa seasta.

15 Kuusi päivää pitää työtä tehtämän, mutta seitsemäntenä päivänä on sabbatin lepo, pyhä Herralle: kuka ikänänsä työtä tekee sabbatin päivänä, hänen pitää totisesti kuoleman.

16 Sentähden pitäkään Israelin lapset sabbatin, että he sen pyhittäisivät, sukukunnissansa ijankaikkiseksi liitoksi.

17 Minun ja Israelin lasten välillä on se ijankaikkinen merkki; sillä kuutena päivänä teki Herra taivaan ja maan, mutta seitsemäntenä päivänä hän lepäsi, ja virvoitti itsensä.

18 Ja sitte kuin Herra oli lopettanut puheensa Moseksen kanssa Sinain vuorella, antoi hän hänelle kaksi todistuksen taulua, jotka olivat kivestä, Jumalan sormella kirjoitetut.

10333. 'And in the cutting of stones for filling' means in order to represent all matters of faith that are of service to the good of love. This is clear from the meaning of 'the cutting of stones' as that which is representative of all matters of faith springing from love, for by 'the cutting of stones' the cutting of those in the breastplate, which were the Urim and Thummim, should be understood, and these stones represented all matters of faith and love, see 3858, 6335, 6640, 9823, 9863, 9865, 9868, 9873, 9905; and from the meaning of 'filling' as being of service to the good of love from which they spring, for the stones were set in the gold there, and 'gold' means the good of love, 1551, 1552, 5658, 6914, 6917, 8932, 9490, 9881, 9874.

Arcana Coelestia # 9865

9865. 'A ruby, a topaz, a carbuncle' means the celestial love of good. This is clear from the meaning of these stones as the good of celestial love, celestial love being love to the Lord, received from the Lord. Those stones mean that love on account of their red and flaming colour; for 'red' means love, 3300, and so does 'flaming', 3222, 6832, 7620-7622, 9570. But here celestial love is meant because those stones are in the first row; and those in the first row correspond to the realities that exist in the inmost heaven, where celestial love, which is love to the Lord, reigns. Since the twelve stones in the breastplate represented all the truths that spring from good they also represented the whole of heaven; for heaven is heaven by virtue of the Divine Truth emanating from the Lord's Divine Good, the angels there who constitute heaven being recipients of that Truth. So it is that the three stones which are in the first row represent the inmost heaven, consequently the love that reigns there, which is called the celestial love of good and celestial love of truth. The stones in the first row represent the celestial love of good, those in the second row the celestial love of truth. These stones represent that love, as has been stated, on account of their colour; for what precious stones represent is determined by their colours.

[2] In heaven colours of indescribable beauty appear; for they are modifications of heavenly light, and heavenly light is Divine Truth emanating from the Lord. From this it is evident that colours present themselves there in accord with variations of goodness and truth; thus they are modifications of the light emanating from the Lord, through the angels. The light emanating from the Lord appears in the inmost heaven as a flame; therefore the colours resulting from it are red and flashing. But the same light appears in the middle heaven as a brilliantly white light; therefore the colours resulting from it are brilliant, and to the extent that they have good within them they are gleaming. This explains why there are two basic colours to which all others are related, namely the colour red and the colour white; and the colour red is representative of good, while the colour white is representative of truth, see 9467.

[3] From all this it is now clear why it was that stones of so many colours were set in rows in the breastplate, namely in order that they might represent all the forms of good and the truths that exist in heaven in their proper order, and consequently represent the whole of heaven. The reason why the stones in the first row - a ruby, a topaz, and a carbuncle - represented the celestial love of good is that they are different hues of red. Furthermore the noun used in the original language for 'a ruby', the first in the row, is derived from a word that means 'redness'; and that for 'a carbuncle', the third in the row, is derived from a word meaning 'flashing', as if from fire. But as for the derivation of 'a topaz', the middle one in the row, this is unknown, though it very probably comes from something describing a red and flaming colour. This may be why in Job something similar is said of a topaz as is said of gold,

With wisdom the topaz of Ethiopia will not compete, it cannot be valued in pure gold. Job 28:19.

'Gold' too means the good of love, 113, 1551, 1552, 5658, 6914, 6917, 8932, 9490, 9510.
