1 Ja Mooses kokosi kaiken Israelin kansan ja sanoi heille: "Näin on Herra käskenyt teidän tehdä:

2 Kuusi päivää tehtäköön työtä, mutta seitsemäs päivä olkoon teille pyhä sapatti, levon päivä, Herralle pyhitetty. Kuka ikinä silloin työtä tekee, se surmattakoon.

3 Älkää sytyttäkö tulta sapatin päivänä, missä asuttekin."

4 Ja Mooses sanoi koko Israelin kansalle näin: "Näin on Herra käskenyt ja sanonut:

5 Ottakaa siitä, mitä teillä on, anti Herralle; jokainen, jonka sydän on siihen altis, tuokoon anniksi Herralle kultaa, hopeata ja vaskea,

6 punasinisiä, purppuranpunaisia ja helakanpunaisia lankoja ja valkoisia pellavalankoja sekä vuohenkarvoja,

7 punaisia oinaannahkoja, sireeninnahkoja, akasiapuuta,

8 ljyä seitsenhaaraista lamppua varten, hajuaineita voiteluöljyä ja hyvänhajuista suitsutusta varten,

9 onyks-kiviä ja muita jalokiviä kasukkaa ja rintakilpeä varten.

10 Ja kaikki taidolliset teidän keskuudessanne tulkoot ja tehkööt kaikki, mitä Herra on käskenyt:

11 asumuksen telttoineen ja peitteineen, hakasineen, lautoineen, poikkitankoineen, pylväineen ja jalustoineen,

12 arkin korentoineen, armoistuimen ja sitä verhoavan esiripun,

13 pöydän korentoineen ja kaikkine kaluineen sekä näkyleivät,

14 seitsenhaaraisen lampun kaluineen ja lamppuineen, öljyä seitsenhaaraista lamppua varten,

15 suitsutusalttarin korentoineen, voiteluöljyn ja hyvänhajuisen suitsukkeen, oviuutimen asumuksen ovelle,

16 polttouhrialttarin vaskiristikkoineen, korentoineen ja kaikkine kaluineen, altaan jalustoineen,

17 esipihan ympärysverhot pylväineen ja jalustoineen sekä esipihan porttiin uutimen,

18 asumuksen vaarnat ja esipihan vaarnat köysineen,

19 virkapuvut pyhäkköpalvelusta varten ja pappi Aaronin muut pyhät vaatteet sekä hänen poikiensa pappispuvut."

20 Ja kaikki israelilaisten seurakunta meni pois Mooseksen luota.

21 Sitten he tulivat takaisin, jokainen, jonka sydän häntä siihen vaati, ja jokainen, jonka henki oli siihen altis, ja toivat antinsa Herralle ilmestysmajan valmistamista varten ja kaikkea siinä vietettävää jumalanpalvelusta varten ja pyhiä vaatteita varten.

22 He tulivat, sekä miehet että naiset, jokainen, jonka sydän oli siihen altis, ja toivat solkia, korvarenkaita, sormuksia ja kaulakoristeita, kaikkinaisia kultakaluja-jokainen, joka toi Herralle kultaa heilutusuhriksi.

23 Ja jokainen, jolla oli punasinisiä, purppuranpunaisia ja helakanpunaisia lankoja, valkoisia pellavalankoja, vuohen karvoja, punaisia oinaannahkoja tai sireeninnahkoja, toi niitä.

24 Ja jokainen, joka voi antaa anniksi hopeata ja vaskea, toi annin Herralle. Ja jokainen, jolla oli akasiapuuta, toi sitä kaikkinaisten töiden valmistamista varten.

25 Ja kaikki taitavat naiset kehräsivät omin käsin ja toivat kehräämänsä punasiniset, purppuranpunaiset ja helakanpunaiset langat ja valkoiset pellavalangat;

26 ja kaikki naiset, joiden taidollinen sydän heitä siihen vaati, kehräsivät vuohenkarvoja.

27 Mutta päämiehet toivat onyks-kiviä ja muita jalokiviä kasukkaa ja rintakilpeä varten,

28 ja hajuaineita ja öljyä seitsenhaaraista lamppua varten sekä voiteluöljyksi ja hyvänhajuiseksi suitsutukseksi.

29 Kaikki israelilaiset, miehet ja naiset, joiden sydän oli altis ja vaati heitä tuomaan jotakin niitä töitä varten, joita Herra Mooseksen kautta oli käskenyt tehdä, toivat vapaaehtoisen lahjan Herralle.

30 Ja Mooses sanoi israelilaisille: "Katsokaa, Herra on nimeltään kutsunut Besalelin, Uurin pojan, Huurin pojanpojan, Juudan sukukunnasta,

31 ja on täyttänyt hänet Jumalan hengellä, taidollisuudella, ymmärryksellä, tiedolla ja kaikkinaisella kätevyydellä

32 sommittelemaan taidokkaita teoksia ja valmistamaan niitä kullasta, hopeasta ja vaskesta,

33 hiomaan ja kiinnittämään kiviä ja veistämään puuta, tekemään kaikkinaisia taidokkaita töitä.

34 Hänelle ja Oholiabille, Ahisamakin pojalle, Daanin sukukunnasta, hän on myös antanut kyvyn opettaa muita.

35 Nämä hän on täyttänyt taidollisuudella tekemään kaikkinaisia töitä, jommoisia tekevät seppä, kuvakudosten tekijä, kirjokankaiden kutoja, joka valmistaa punasinisiä, purppuranpunaisia ja helakanpunaisia kankaita ja valkoisia pellavakankaita, sekä muu kankuri, ne, jotka valmistavat kaikkinaisia töitä ja sommittelevat taidokkaita teoksia."

9598. 'With the work of a designer you shall make them' means the power of understanding. This is clear from the meaning of 'a designer' as the power of understanding, for this thinks things out, then acts in accord with what it thinks. The fact that the power of understanding, to which wisdom, intelligence, and knowledge belong, is meant is clear from the following places, where it speaks about Bezalel,

I have called by name Bezalel, and I have filled him with the spirit of God, so far as wisdom, and intelligence, and knowledge, and all workmanship are concerned, to compose designs, 1 to work 2 in gold, in silver, and in bronze, and in the cutting of stones for setting, 3 and in the carving of wood, to work 2 in every kind of artistic workmanship. 4 Exodus 31:2-5; 35:30-33.

The fact that the power of understanding is meant is also clear from what has been shown just above in 9596.

9596. 'From fine twined linen and violet and purple and twice-dyed scarlet' means the spiritual and celestial realities from which those truths are derived. This is clear from the meaning of 'fine twined linen' as truth from a celestial origin, dealt with in 9469; from the meaning of 'violet' as the celestial love of truth, dealt with in 9466; from the meaning of 'purple' as the celestial love of good, dealt with in 9467; and from the meaning of 'twice-dyed scarlet' as spiritual good or the good of truth, dealt with in 9468. Such is the order in which the spiritual and celestial realities, or the truths and forms of good, present with a person or an angel who is in the middle or second heaven follow one another. For truth from a celestial origin, meant by 'fine twined linen' comes first; then the love of or affection for truth, meant by 'violet'; after that the resulting love of or affection for good, meant by 'purple'; and finally spiritual good, meant by 'twice-dyed scarlet'.

[2] Because this is the order in which the spiritual and celestial realities follow one another 'fine twined linen' is here mentioned first; but in the case of the veil that hung between the dwelling-place and the ark, or between the holy place and the holy of holies, dealt with in verse 31 of the present chapter, it is mentioned last. The reason why 'fine twined linen' is mentioned last in the case of the veil is that 'the veil' means the intermediary uniting the inmost heaven to the middle heaven, and therefore within this intermediary it must come last, in order that - to link the two heavens - it may then be first in the second of them.

[3] But properly 'fine twined linen' means the understanding part of the mind as it exists with the spiritual man or with an angel in the Lord's spiritual heaven. The reason why the understanding part is meant by 'fine twined linen' is that with the spiritual man a new will part is implanted by the Lord within the understanding part of his mind, see 863, 875, 895, 927, 1023, 1043, 1044, 1555, 2256, 4328, 4493, 5113; and since the understanding part in the spiritual man is meant by 'fine twined linen', so too is spiritual truth meant. This is because all truth belongs to the understanding part, and all good to the will part, 3623, 9300; for the understanding part is the receiver (subjectum) or container and the truth is what belongs to it, and these two make one. From these considerations also it may be seen that the actual understanding part of the mind with those who belong to the Lord's spiritual kingdom is in the strict sense 'the dwelling-place', 9296, 9297, and that the spreading out of the curtains serves to describe it.

[4] From all this what 'spreading and stretching out the heavens' means in the following places may be recognized, such as in Isaiah,

Jehovah is He who stretches out the heavens, spreads out the earth, gives breath 1 to the people on it, and spirit to those who walk on it. Isaiah 42:5.

In the same prophet,

I am Jehovah who makes all things, stretches out the heavens Alone, [and] spreads out the earth by Myself. Isaiah 44:24.

In the same prophet,

It was I that made the earth and created man on it. It was I - My hands - that stretched out the heavens. Isaiah 45:12.

In Jeremiah,

... He who makes the earth by His power, prepares the world by His wisdom, and stretches out the heavens by His intelligence. Jeremiah 51:15.

In Zechariah,

Jehovah is He who stretches out the heavens, and founds the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him. Zechariah 12:1.

[5] 'Stretching out the heavens and spreading out the earth' is plainly similar in meaning to stretching and spreading out a dwelling-place by the use of curtains. And by this is meant regenerating a person and thereby creating or forming a new understanding in which there is a new will, which is the spiritual person's actual heaven in which the Lord dwells with that person. The fact that the regeneration or the formation of a new understanding, and of a new will within it, and so of a new person, is what 'stretching out the heavens and spreading out the earth' means is evident from actual explanations provided in the places quoted above. For they speak of Him who gives breath to the people on the earth, and spirit to those who walk on it, and also of Him who forms the spirit of man within him. 'Heaven and earth' means the Church, internal and external, see 1733, 1850, 2117, 2118, 3355, 4535, and 'the earth' in general means the Lord's kingdom and the Church, 9334; and these meanings too are plainly apparent in those places. For if 'the earth' did not have that meaning what sense could be made of 'spreading out the earth' and 'founding the earth', or 'forming the spirit of man within him 2 '?

[6] The fact that 'stretching out the heavens and spreading out the earth' here is similar in meaning to stretching and spreading out a dwelling-place by the use of curtains is clear from other places where the same idea is stated even more plainly, as in Isaiah,

Jehovah is He who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in. Isaiah 40:22.

In the same prophet,

Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch out the curtains of your dwelling-places. Isaiah 54:2.

And in David,

Jehovah covers Himself with light, as if with a garment; He stretches out the heavens as a curtain. Psalms 104:2.

These places also show what 'the expanse' or that which is spread out means in the first chapter of Genesis,

God said, Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let there be a distinguishing of the waters from the waters. And God made the expanse and He made a distinction between the waters that were under the expanse and the waters that were above the expanse, And God called the expanse Heaven. Genesis 1:6-8.

That first chapter describes the regeneration of a member of the celestial Church, 'the expanse' describing his new will and understanding. 'The waters under the expanse and those above the expanse' are the truths of the external man and those of the internal man. For the meaning of 'waters' as truths, see 2702, 3058, 3424, 4976, 8568, 9323.

Poznámky pod čarou:

1. literally, soul

2. The Latin here is in ea (in it, i.e. in the earth). But in his rough draft Swedenborg has, as in other places, in medio ejus which is usually taken to mean within him but could possibly mean in the midst of it.
