maastamuutto 26

Studie

   

1 "Ja tee asumus kymmenestä telttakankaan kaistasta, jotka ovat valmistetut kerratuista valkoisista pellavalangoista ja punasinisistä, purppuranpunaisista ja helakanpunaisista langoista, ja tee niihin taidokkaasti kudottuja kerubeja.

2 Kunkin kaistan pituus olkoon kaksikymmentäkahdeksan kyynärää ja leveys neljä kyynärää; kaikilla kaistoilla olkoon sama mitta.

3 Viisi kaistaa yhdistettäköön toisiinsa, ja samoin toiset viisi kaistaa yhdistettäköön toisiinsa.

4 Ja tee silmukat punasinisestä langasta ensimmäisen kaistan reunaan, yhdistetyn kappaleen laitaan, ja samoin toisen yhdistetyn kappaleen viimeisen kaistan reunaan.

5 Tee viisikymmentä silmukkaa ensimmäiseen kaistaan, ja tee viisikymmentä silmukkaa vastaavan kaistan laitaan, toiseen yhdistettyyn kappaleeseen, niin että silmukat ovat kohdakkain.

6 Ja tee viisikymmentä kultahakasta ja yhdistä kaistat toisiinsa näillä hakasilla, niin että siitä tulee yhtenäinen asumus.

7 Tee vielä kaistoista, jotka ovat kudotut vuohenkarvoista, teltta asumuksen suojaksi; tee niitä kaistoja yksitoista.

8 Kunkin kaistan pituus olkoon kolmekymmentä kyynärää ja leveys neljä kyynärää; niillä yhdellätoista kaistalla olkoon sama mitta.

9 Liitä yhteen viisi kaistaa erikseen ja kuusi kaistaa erikseen, ja aseta kuudes niistä kaksin kerroin teltan etupuolelle.

10 Ja tee viisikymmentä silmukkaa toisen yhdistetyn kappaleen viimeisen kaistan reunaan ja viisikymmentä silmukkaa toisen yhdistetyn kappaleen vastaavan kaistan reunaan.

11 Tee myös viisikymmentä vaskihakasta ja pistä hakaset silmukkoihin ja liitä teltta yhteen, niin että siitä tulee yhtenäinen.

12 Siitä telttakaistojen liiasta osasta, joka jää riippumaan, jääköön puolet riippumaan asumuksen takasivulle.

13 Ja siitä, mikä telttakaistoissa on liikaa pituutta, riippukoon kyynärän verran asumuksen kummallakin sivulla sitä peittämässä.

14 Ja tee teltalle peite punaisista oinaannahoista ja sen päälle vielä toinen peite sireeninnahoista.

15 Asumuksen laudat tee akasiapuusta, pystyyn asetettaviksi.

16 Jokainen lauta olkoon kymmentä kyynärää pitkä ja puoltatoista kyynärää leveä.

17 Jokaisessa laudassa olkoon kaksi tappia, jotka ovat poikkilistalla yhdistetyt keskenään; tee näin kaikki asumuksen laudat.

18 Ja asumuksen lautoja tee kaksikymmentä lautaa eteläpuolta varten.

19 Ja tee neljäkymmentä hopeajalustaa kahdenkymmenen laudan alle, aina kaksi jalustaa kunkin laudan alle sen kahta tappia varten.

20 Samoin asumuksen toista sivua, pohjoispuolta, varten kaksikymmentä lautaa,

21 ja neljäkymmentä hopeajalustaa, aina kaksi jalustaa kunkin laudan alle.

22 Mutta asumuksen takasivua, länsipuolta, varten tee kuusi lautaa.

23 Ja tee kaksi lautaa asumuksen peränurkkia varten.

24 Ja ne olkoot yhteenliitettyjä kaksoislautoja ja alhaalta alkaen kiinni toisissaan ylös saakka, ensimmäiseen renkaaseen asti; näin tehtäköön ne molemmat ja asetettakoon kumpaankin nurkkaan.

25 Näin tulee olemaan yhteensä kahdeksan lautaa ja niihin kuusitoista hopeajalustaa, aina kaksi jalustaa kunkin laudan alla.

26 Tee myös viisi poikkitankoa akasiapuusta asumuksen toisen sivun lautoja varten,

27 ja viisi poikkitankoa asumuksen toisen sivun lautoja varten, ja viisi poikkitankoa asumuksen takasivun, länsipuolen, lautoja varten.

28 Ja keskimmäinen poikkitanko asetettakoon keskelle lautoja, ja kulkekoon se reunasta reunaan.

29 Ja päällystä laudat kullalla ja tee kullasta niiden renkaat poikkitankojen pitimiksi ja päällystä poikkitangot kullalla.

30 Ja aseta asumus pystyyn sen muotoiseksi, kuin sinulle vuorella näytettiin.

31 Tee vielä esirippu punasinisistä, purppuranpunaisista ja helakanpunaisista langoista ja kerratuista valkoisista pellavalangoista; ja tehtäköön siihen taidokkaasti kudottuja kerubeja.

32 Ja ripusta se neljään akasiapuiseen, kullalla päällystettyyn pylvääseen, joissa on kultakoukut ja jotka seisovat neljällä hopeajalustalla.

33 Ja ripusta esirippu hakasten alle ja vie sinne esiripun sisäpuolelle lain arkki. Ja niin olkoon esirippu teille väliseinänä pyhän ja kaikkeinpyhimmän välillä.

34 Ja aseta armoistuin lain arkin päälle, joka on kaikkeinpyhimmässä.

35 Mutta pöytä sijoita esiripun ulkopuolelle ja seitsenhaarainen lamppu vastapäätä pöytää, asumuksen eteläsivulle; aseta siis pöytä pohjoissivulle.

36 Tee myös teltan oveen uudin, kirjaellen kudottu punasinisistä, purppuranpunaisista ja helakanpunaisista langoista ja kerratuista valkoisista pellavalangoista.

37 Ja tee uudinta varten viisi pylvästä akasiapuusta ja päällystä ne kullalla, mutta niiden koukut olkoot kultaa; ja vala niille viisi vaskijalustaa."

9466. 'And violet' means the celestial love of truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'violet' as the celestial love of truth, the reason why 'violet' has this meaning being that it is a celestial colour, and by this colour truth from a celestial origin is meant, that is, truth springing from the good of love to the Lord. This good predominates in the inmost heaven, revealing itself in the middle or second heaven as the colours purple and violet. The actual good reveals itself as purple, and the truth springing from it as violet. For when colours appear in the next life, and in heaven itself, they are most beautiful ones; and they all have their origin in goodness and truth. For the sphere of affections for goodness and truth is revealed to the eyes of angels and of spirits also by means of colours, specific things being revealed by means of objects variously coloured, and also to their nostrils by means of odours. For every celestial reality belonging to good or spiritual reality belonging to truth is represented in the lower heavens by means of the kinds of things that appear in the natural order, and by this means is revealed to the actual external senses of spirits and angels in those heavens. The reason why the spheres of affection for goodness and truth are revealed visually by means of colours is that colours are modifications of heavenly light, and so of intelligence and wisdom, see 4530, 4677, 4742, 4922.

[2] This now explains why the materials that were to be gathered together for the tabernacle and Aaron's garments included violet, purple, twice-dyed scarlet, and skins of red rams; for the tabernacle represented the Lord's heaven, the materials which were used to construct and cover it represented the celestial and spiritual realities that belong to goodness and truth, and Aaron's garments had a like representation, 9457. It explains why the veil within which the ark of the Testimony was placed was woven from violet, purple, twice-dyed scarlet, and fine linen thread, Exodus 26:31, as likewise was the covering for the door of the tent, Exodus 26:36, and the covering for the gate of the court as well, Exodus 27:16, and why the loops on the edge of the curtain were made of violet, Exodus 26:4. It also explains why the ephod was made of gold, violet, purple, twice-dyed scarlet, and linen thread woven together, as was the breastplate of judgement, Exodus 28:6, 15.

[3] 'Violet' means the celestial love of truth, and 'garments made of violet' cognitions or knowledge of truth present as a result of that love, in Ezekiel,

Fine linen with embroidered work from Egypt was your sail, that it might be to you an ensign; violet and purple from the islands of Elishah was your covering. They were your traders with choice wares, 1 with balls of violet, and embroidery, and with chests of precious garments. Ezekiel 27:7, 24.

This refers to Tyre, by which cognitions of truth and good are meant, 1201. Knowledge and understanding acquired from these is described by 'embroidered work from Egypt', and by 'violet and purple from the islands of Elishah'. 'Embroidered work from Egypt' is factual knowledge of truth, and 'violet and purple from the islands of Elishah' is an understanding of truth and good.

[4] In the same prophet,

Two women, the daughters of one mother, in their youth committed whoredom in Egypt - Oholah and Oholibah. Oholah committed whoredom under Me and doted on the Assyrians her neighbours - clothed in violet, governors and leaders, horsemen riding on horses. Ezekiel 23:2-6.

'Oholah' stands for Samaria, and 'Oholibah' for Jerusalem, Samaria in this instance being the corrupted spiritual Church. 'Committing whoredom in Egypt' means falsifying truths by means of factual knowledge, 'doting on the Assyrians her neighbours' stands for having a love of reasonings based on those falsifications, and 'clothed in violet' stands for ideas which look like truth springing from good because they are derived from the literal sense of the Word interpreted wrongly.

[5] Something similar occurs in Jeremiah,

Beaten silver is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the smith and of the hands of the molder. Their clothing is violet and purple. These are all the work of the wise. Jeremiah 10:9.

This refers to the idols of the house of Israel, by which false teachings, supported by distortions of the outward sense of the Word, are meant, 9424. 'The work of the smith and of the hands of the molder', and also 'these are all the work of the wise', stand for the fact that they are the product of self-intelligence. 'Silver from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz' stands for their seeming to outward appearance to be true and good because they are taken from the Word; and much the same is meant by 'violet and purple' of which their clothing consisted.

[6] In John,

I saw horses in the vision, and those seated on them had breastplates of fire and violet and brimstone, by whom a third part of mankind was killed. Revelation 9:17-18.

'Horses' and 'those seated on them' stand for a topsy-turvy and corrupted understanding of truth. 'Breastplates of fire, violet, and brimstone' stands for defence of falsities that arise from the evils of devilish kinds of love. In this instance therefore 'fire' stands for the hellish love of evil, and 'violet' for the hellish love of falsity. They are accordingly used in the contrary sense; for the majority of things in the Word also have a contrary meaning.

Ezekiel 1

Studie

1 Now it happened in the thirtieth year, in the fourth [month], in the fifth [day] of the month, as I was among the captives by the river Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.

2 In the fifth [day] of the month, which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin's captivity,

3 the word of Yahweh came expressly to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of Yahweh was there on him.

4 I looked, and behold, a stormy wind came out of the north, a great cloud, with flashing lightning, and a brightness around it, and out of its midst as it were glowing metal, out of the midst of the fire.

5 Out of its midst came the likeness of four living creatures. This was their appearance: they had the likeness of a man.

6 Everyone had four faces, and each one of them had four wings.

7 Their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot; and they sparkled like burnished brass.

8 They had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and the four of them had their faces and their wings [thus]:

9 their wings were joined one to another; they didn't turn when they went; each one went straight forward.

10 As for the likeness of their faces, they had the face of a man; and the four of them had the face of a lion on the right side; and the four of them had the face of an ox on the left side; the four of them also had the face of an eagle.

11 Such were their faces. Their wings were spread out above. Two wings of each one touched another, and Two covered their bodies.

12 Each one went straight forward: where the spirit was to go, they went; they didn't turn when they went.

13 As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, like the appearance of torches: [the fire] went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning.

14 The living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning.

15 Now as I saw the living creatures, behold, one wheel on the earth beside the living creatures, for each of the four faces of it.

16 The appearance of the wheels and their work was like a beryl: and the four of them had one likeness; and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel within a wheel.

17 When they went, they went in their four directions: they didn't turn when they went.

18 As for their rims, they were high and dreadful; and the four of them had their rims full of eyes all around.

19 When the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them; and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.

20 Wherever the spirit was to go, they went; there was the spirit to go: and the wheels were lifted up beside them; for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.

21 When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up beside them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.

22 Over the head of the living creature there was the likeness of an expanse, like the awesome crystal to look on, stretched forth Over their heads above.

23 Under the expanse were their wings straight, the one toward the other: each one had two which covered on this side, and every one had two which covered on that side, their bodies.

24 When they went, I heard the noise of their wings like the noise of great waters, like the voice of the Almighty, a noise of tumult like the noise of an army: when they stood, they let down their wings.

25 There was a voice above the expanse that was over their heads: when they stood, they let down their wings.

26 Above the expanse that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone; and on the likeness of the throne was a likeness as the appearance of a man on it above.

27 I saw as it were glowing metal, as the appearance of fire within it all around, from the appearance of his waist and upward; and from the appearance of his waist and downward I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and there was brightness around him.

28 As the appearance of the rainbow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness all around. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of Yahweh. When I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard a voice of one that spoke.
