1 Και θελεις καμει θυσιαστηριον εκ ξυλου σιττιμ, πεντε πηχων το μηκος και πεντε πηχων το πλατος· τετραγωνον θελει εισθαι το θυσιαστηριον· και το υψος αυτου τριων πηχων·

2 και θελεις καμει τα κερατα αυτου επι των τεσσαρων γωνιων αυτου· τα κερατα αυτου θελουσιν εισθαι εκ του αυτου και θελεις περικαλυψει αυτο με χαλκον.

3 Και θελεις καμει τους στακτοδοχους λεβητας αυτου και τα πτυαρια αυτου και τας λεκανας αυτου και τας κρεαγρας αυτου και τα πυροδοχα αυτου· χαλκινα θελεις καμει παντα τα σκευη αυτου.

4 Και θελεις καμει δι' αυτο χαλκινην εσχαραν δικτυωτης εργασιας· και επι του δικτυου θελεις καμει τεσσαρας κρικους χαλκινους επι των τεσσαρων γωνιων αυτου.

5 Και θελεις θεσει αυτην υπο την περιοχην του θυσιαστηριου κατωθεν, ωστε το δικτυον να ηναι μεχρι του μεσου του θυσιαστηριου.

6 Και θελεις καμει μοχλους δια το θυσιαστηριον, μοχλους εκ ξυλου σιττιμ, και θελεις περικαλυψει αυτους με χαλκον·

7 και οι μοχλοι θελουσι τεθη εντος των κρικων και θελουσιν εισθαι οι μοχλοι επι των δυο πλευρων του θυσιαστηριου, δια να βασταζωσιν αυτο.

8 Κοιλον σανιδωτον θελεις καμει αυτο, καθως εδειχθη εις σε επι του ορους· ουτω θελουσι καμει.

9 Και θελεις καμει την αυλην της σκηνης· απο το νοτιον μερος προς μεσημβριαν θελουσιν εισθαι παραπετασματα δια την αυλην εκ βυσσου κεκλωσμενης, το μηκος εκατον πηχων δια το εν πλευρον.

10 Και οι εικοσι στυλοι αυτης και τα εικοσι υποβασια τουτων θελουσιν εισθαι χαλκινα· τα αγκιστρα των στυλων και αι ζωναι αυτων αργυρα.

11 Και ομοιως κατα το βορειον πλευρον κατα μηκος θελουσιν εισθαι παραπετασματα, μηκος εκατον πηχων, και οι εικοσι στυλοι αυτων και τα εικοσι αυτων χαλκινα υποβασια· τα δε αγκιστρα των στυλων και αι ζωναι αυτων αργυρα.

12 Και δια το πλατος της αυλης κατα το δυτικον πλευρον θελουσιν εισθαι παραπετασματα πεντηκοντα πηχων· στυλοι αυτων δεκα και υποβασια αυτων δεκα.

13 Και το πλατος της αυλης κατα το ανατολικον πλευρον το προς ανατολας θελει εισθαι πεντηκοντα πηχων.

14 Και τα παραπετασματα του ενος μερους της πυλης θελουσιν εισθαι δεκαπεντε πηχων· στυλοι αυτων τρεις και υποβασια αυτων τρια.

15 Και εις το αλλο μερος θελουσιν εισθαι παραπετασματα δεκαπεντε πηχων· στυλοι αυτων τρεις και υποβασια αυτων τρια.

16 Δια δε την πυλην της αυλης θελει εισθαι καταπετασμα εικοσι πηχων, εκ κυανου και πορφυρου και κοκκινου και βυσσου κεκλωσμενης, κατεσκευασμενον με εργασιαν κεντητου· στυλοι αυτων τεσσαρες και υποβασια τουτων τεσσαρα.

17 Παντες οι στυλοι κυκλω της αυλης θελουσιν εισθαι εζωσμενοι με αργυρον, τα αγκιστρα αυτων αργυρα και τα υποβασια αυτων χαλκινα.

18 Το μηκος της αυλης θελει εισθαι εκατον πηχων και το πλατος εκατερωθεν πεντηκοντα και το υψος πεντε πηχων, εκ βυσσου κεκλωσμενης, και τα υποβασια αυτων χαλκινα.

19 Παντα τα σκευη της σκηνης δια πασαν την υπηρεσιαν αυτης και παντες οι πασσαλοι αυτης και παντες οι πασσαλοι της αυλης θελουσιν εισθαι χαλκινοι.

20 Και συ προσταξον τους υιους Ισραηλ να φερωσι προς σε καθαρον ελαιον απο ελαιας κοπανισμενας δια το φως, δια να καιη παντοτε ο λυχνος.

21 Εν τη σκηνη του μαρτυριου εξωθεν του καταπετασματος, το οποιον ειναι εμπροσθεν του μαρτυριου, ο Ααρων και οι υιοι αυτου θελουσι διαθεσει αυτον αφ' εσπερας εως πρωι εμπροσθεν του Κυριου· τουτο θελει εισθαι νομος παντοτεινος εις τους υιους Ισραηλ κατα τας γενεας αυτων.

Apocalypse Revealed # 529

529. Then the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple. (11:19) This symbolizes the New Heaven, in which the Lord is worshiped in His Divine humanity, and where people live in accordance with the Ten Commandments, which constitute the two essential elements of the New Church that are the means of conjunction.

The temple of God symbolizes the Lord's Divine humanity, also heaven where angels dwell, and likewise the church on earth. To be shown that the temple of God has these three symbolic meanings, and that the three cannot be separated, see no. 191. Here, however, the temple of God symbolizes the Lord in His Divine humanity in heaven where angels dwell, because it is said to be the temple of God in heaven. The ark in the temple means the Ten Commandments, for the ark had as its sole contents the two tables on which the Ten Commandments were written. 1 The temple's being opened means, symbolically, that these two, the Divine humanity and the Ten Commandments, which are the two essential elements of the New Church, are now visible, and that they became visible after the evil were cast into hell (no. 528). The ark is called the ark of His covenant in His temple because a covenant symbolizes conjunction, as we will see below. But first we must say something about the Ten Commandments.

[2] What nation in the entire world does not know that it is evil to kill, commit adultery, steal, and bear false witness? If nations did not know this and enact laws to keep people from doing these things, it would be all over with them. For society, the republic, or kingdom would collapse without these laws.

Who can suppose that the Israelite nation was so stupid in comparison to all other nations as not to know that such actions are evil? One may wonder, therefore, why these laws, being so universally known throughout the whole world, were promulgated by Jehovah Himself from Mount Sinai, attended by the great miracle they were, and written, moreover, with His finger.

But listen, they were promulgated by Jehovah with such a great miracle and written with His finger in order that people might know that these laws are not only civil and moral laws, but also spiritual laws, and that to disobey them is not only to do evil to one's fellow citizen and to society, but is also to sin against God. Their promulgation by Jehovah from Mount Sinai made them therefore laws of religion. For it is evident that whatever Jehovah God commands, He commands to make it a matter of religion, so that it must be obeyed for His sake, and for a person's own sake, that he may be saved.

[3] Because these laws were the first elements of the church to be established by the Lord with the Israelite nation, and because they embrace in brief summary everything having to do with religion which makes possible a conjunction of the Lord with a person and of a person with the Lord, therefore they were so holy that nothing was more holy.

That they were so very holy can be seen from the following: That Jehovah Himself, that is to say, the Lord, descended in fire; that the mountain then smoked and quaked; and that this was attended by thunderings, lightnings, a thick cloud, and the sound of a trumpet (Exodus 19:16, 18, Deuteronomy 5:22-26). That before Jehovah descended, the people readied themselves and sanctified themselves for three days (Exodus 19:10-11, 15). That the mountain was set around with bounds to keep anyone from coming near the foot of the mountain, lest he die, Exodus 19:12-13, 20-23; 24:1-2. That the Law was written on two tablets of stone, and written with the finger of God, Exodus 31:18; 32:15-16; Deuteronomy 9:10. That when Moses brought the tablets down from the mountain a second time, his face shone, Exodus 34:29-35. That the tablets were placed in the ark, Exodus 25:16; 40:20; Deuteronomy 10:5; 1 Kings 8:9. That the place in the Tabernacle where the Ark was put was called the most holy place, Exodus 26:33, and elsewhere. That because it held the Law, the Ark was there called Jehovah. Numbers 10:35-36; 2 Samuel 6:2; Psalms 132:8. That Jehovah spoke with Moses from above the ark, Exodus 25:22; Numbers 7:89. That because of the holiness of the Law, Aaron was not permitted enter within the veil, where the ark was without sacrifices and incense, lest he die. Leviticus 16:2-14ff. That owing to the Lord's presence and power in the Law that was in the ark, the waters of the Jordan were cut off, and as long the Ark rested in the middle, the people crossed on dry ground, Joshua 3:1-17; 4:5-20. That carrying the ark around caused the walls of Jericho fell down, Joshua 6:1-20. That Dagon, the Philistine god, fell to the ground before the Ark, and later lay at the threshold of the temple with its head broken off, 1 Samuel 5:3-4. That many thousands of the people of Ekron and Beth-shemesh were smitten because of the Ark, 1 Samuel 5 and 6. That David brought up the Ark into Zion with sacrifices and jubilation, 2 Samuel 6:1-19. That Uzzah died then because he touched the Ark, 2 Samuel 6:6-7. That in the Temple at Jerusalem the Ark constituted the inner sanctuary (1 Kings 6:19ff., 8:3-9). That the tablets on which the Law was written were called the tablets of the covenant, and because of them the Ark was called the ark of the covenant, with the Law itself being called the covenant (Numbers 10:33, Deuteronomy 4:13, 23; 5:2-3; 9:9, Joshua 3:11, 1 Kings 8:19, 21, and elsewhere).

The Law's being called a covenant symbolizes conjunction. The reason is that covenants are made for the sake of love, friendship, and association, thus for the sake of conjunction. That is why we find it said of the Lord that He will be "a covenant to the people" (Isaiah 42:6; 49:8), and He is called "the Messenger of the covenant" (Malachi 3:1). His blood also is called "the blood of the covenant" (Matthew 26:28, cf. Zechariah 9:11, Exodus 24:4-10). And therefore the Word is called the Old and New Testaments or Covenants.

Exodus 23

Studie

   

1 "You shall not spread a false report. Don't join your hand with the wicked to be a malicious witness.

2 "You shall not follow a crowd to do evil; neither shall you testify in court to side with a multitude to pervert justice;

3 neither shall you favor a poor man in his cause.

4 "If you meet your enemy's ox or his donkey going astray, you shall surely bring it back to him again.

5 If you see the donkey of him who hates you fallen down under his burden, don't leave him, you shall surely help him with it.

6 "You shall not deny justice to your poor people in their lawsuits.

7 "Keep far from a false charge, and don't kill the innocent and righteous: for I will not justify the wicked.

8 "You shall take no bribe, for a bribe blinds those who have sight and perverts the words of the righteous.

9 "You shall not oppress an alien, for you know the heart of an alien, since you were aliens in the land of Egypt.

10 "For six years you shall sow your land, and shall gather in its increase,

11 but the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie fallow, that the poor of your people may eat; and what they leave the animal of the field shall eat. In the same way, you shall deal with your vineyard and with your olive grove.

12 "Six days you shall do your work, and on the seventh day you shall rest, that your ox and your donkey may have rest, and the son of your handmaid, and the alien may be refreshed.

13 "Be careful to do all things that I have said to you; and don't invoke the name of other gods, neither let them be heard out of your mouth.

14 "You shall observe a feast to me three times a year.

15 You shall observe the feast of unleavened bread. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the time appointed in the month Abib (for in it you came out from Egypt), and no one shall appear before me empty.

16 And the feast of harvest, the first fruits of your labors, which you sow in the field: and the feast of harvest, at the end of the year, when you gather in your labors out of the field.

17 Three times in the year all your males shall appear before the Lord Yahweh.

18 "You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread, neither shall the fat of my feast remain all night until the morning.

19 The first of the first fruits of your ground you shall bring into the house of Yahweh your God. "You shall not boil a young goat in its mother's milk.

20 "Behold, I send an angel before you, to keep you by the way, and to bring you into the place which I have prepared.

21 Pay attention to him, and listen to his voice. Don't provoke him, for he will not pardon your disobedience, for my name is in him.

22 But if you indeed listen to his voice, and do all that I speak, then I will be an enemy to your enemies, and an adversary to your adversaries.

23 For my angel shall go before you, and bring you in to the Amorite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Canaanite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite; and I will cut them off.

24 You shall not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor follow their practices, but you shall utterly overthrow them and demolish their pillars.

25 You shall serve Yahweh your God, and he will bless your bread and your water, and I will take sickness away from your midst.

26 No one will miscarry or be barren in your land. I will fulfill the number of your days.

27 I will send my terror before you, and will confuse all the people to whom you come, and I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you.

28 I will send the hornet before you, which will drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before you.

29 I will not drive them out from before you in one year, lest the land become desolate, and the animals of the field multiply against you.

30 Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you have increased and inherit the land.

31 I will set your border from the Red Sea even to the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the River; for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you shall drive them out before you.

32 You shall make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.

33 They shall not dwell in your land, lest they make you sin against me, for if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you."
