1 Και ειπε Κυριος προς τον Μωυσην, Λαλησον προς τους ιερεις τους υιους του Ααρων, και ειπε προς αυτους, Ουδεις θελει μιανθη μεταξυ του λαου αυτου δια νεκρον·

2 ει μη δια τον συγγενη αυτου τον πλησιεστερον, δια την μητερα αυτου και δια τον πατερα αυτου και δια τον υιον αυτου και δια την θυγατερα αυτου και δια τον αδελφον αυτου,

3 και δια την αδελφην αυτου, παρθενον ουσαν, την πλησιεστατην εις αυτον, ητις δεν ελαβεν ανδρα· δια ταυτην δυναται να μιανθη.

4 Δεν θελει μιανθη αρχηγος ων του λαου αυτου, ωστε να βεβηλωση εαυτον.

5 Δεν θελουσι φαλακρωσει την κεφαλην αυτων ουδε θελουσι ξυρισει τα πλαγια των πωγωνων αυτων ουδε θελουσι καμει εντομιδας επι τας σαρκας αυτων.

6 Αγιοι θελουσιν εισθαι εις τον Θεον αυτων και δεν θελουσι βεβηλωσει το ονομα του Θεου αυτων· διοτι τας δια πυρος γινομενας προσφορας του Κυριου, τον αρτον του Θεου αυτων, προσφερουσι δια τουτο θελουσιν εισθαι αγιοι.

7 Γυναικα πορνην και βεβηλωμενην δεν θελουσι λαβει ουδε γυναικα αποβεβλημενην απο του ανδρος αυτης θελουσι λαβει· διοτι ο ιερευς ειναι αγιος εις τον Θεον αυτου.

8 Θελεις λοιπον αγιασει αυτον· διοτι αυτος τον αρτον του Θεου σου προσφερει· αγιος θελει εισθαι εις σε· διοτι αγιος ειμαι εγω ο Κυριος, ο αγιαζων υμας.

9 Και θυγατηρ ιερεως τινος, εαν βεβηλωθη δια πορνειας, τον πατερα αυτης αυτη βεβηλονει· εν πυρι θελει κατακαυθη.

10 Και ο ιερευς ο μεγας μεταξυ των αδελφων αυτου, επι την κεφαλην του οποιου εχυθη το ελαιον του χρισματος, και οστις καθιερωθη δια να ενδυηται τας ιερας στολας, την κεφαλην αυτου δεν θελει αποκαλυψει, ουδε τα ιματια αυτου θελει διασχισει·

11 και εις ουδεν σωμα νεκρον θελει εισελθει ουδε δια τον πατερα αυτου η δια την μητερα αυτου θελει μιανθη.

12 Και εκ του αγιαστηριου δεν θελει εξελθει ουδε θελει βεβηλωσει το αγιαστηριον του Θεου αυτου· διοτι το αγιον ελαιον του χρισματος του Θεου αυτου ειναι επ' αυτον. Εγω ειμαι ο Κυριος.

13 Και ουτος θελει λαβει γυναικα παρθενον·

14 χηραν η αποβεβλημενην η βεβηλον η πορνην, ταυτας δεν θελει λαβει· αλλα παρθενον εκ του λαου αυτου θελει λαβει εις γυναικα.

15 Και δεν θελει βεβηλωσει το σπερμα αυτου μεταξυ του λαου αυτου· διοτι εγω ειμαι ο Κυριος, ο αγιαζων αυτον.

16 Και ελαλησε Κυριος προς τον Μωυσην, λεγων,

17 Ειπε προς τον Ααρων, λεγων, Οστις εκ του σπερματος σου εις τας γενεας αυτων εχει μωμον, ας μη πλησιαση δια να προσφερη τον αρτον του Θεου αυτου·

18 διοτι πας οστις εχει μωμον δεν θελει πλησιασει· ανθρωπος τυφλος, η χωλος, η κολοβομυττης, η εχων τι περιττον,

19 η ανθρωπος οστις εχει συντριμμα ποδος, η συντριμμα χειρος,

20 η ειναι κυρτος, η πολυ ισχνος, η οστις εχει βεβλαμμενους τους οφθαλμους, η εχει ψωραν ξηραν, η λειχηνα, η ειναι εσπασμενος·

21 ουδεις ανθρωπος εκ του σπερματος του Ααρων του ιερεως, οστις εχει μωμον, θελει πλησιασει δια να προσφερη τας δια πυρος γινομενας προσφορας εις τον Κυριον· μωμον εχει· δεν θελει πλησιασει δια να προσφερη τον αρτον του Θεου αυτου.

22 Θελει τρωγει τον αρτον του Θεου αυτου εκ των αγιωτατων, και εκ των αγιων.

23 Πλην εις το καταπετασμα δεν θελει εισερχεσθαι ουδε εις το θυσιαστηριον θελει πλησιασει, διοτι εχει μωμον· δια να μη βεβηλωση το αγιαστηριον μου· διοτι εγω ειμαι ο Κυριος, ο αγιαζων αυτους.

24 Και ελαλησεν ο Μωυσης ταυτα προς τον Ααρων και προς τους υιους αυτου και προς παντας τους υιους Ισραηλ.

3300. And the first came forth red all over like a hairy garment [tunica]. That this signifies the natural good of the life of truth, is evident from the signification of “coming forth,” as being to be born; from the signification of “red,” as being the good of life, as will be shown presently; and from the signification of a “hairy garment,” as being the truth of the natural, which also will be shown presently. This being the “first” signifies that as to essence good is prior, as before said (n. 3299); and it is said “like a hairy garment” in order to signify that good is clothed with truth, as with a tender vessel or body, as also before said (n. 3299). In the internal sense of the Word a “garment” [tunica] signifies merely that which invests something else, wherefore also truths are compared to garments (n. 1073, 2576).

[2] That “red,” or “ruddy,” signifies the good of life, is because all good is of love, and love itself is celestial and spiritual fire, and is also compared to fire and likewise is called “fire” (n. 933-936). So also is love compared to blood, and is called “blood” (n. 1001); and because they are both red, the good which is of love is signified by “red” or “ruddy,” as may also be seen from the following passages in the Word. In the prophecy of Jacob, then Israel:

He shall wash his raiment in wine, and his vesture in the blood of grapes; his eyes are redder than wine, and his teeth are whiter than milk (Genesis 49:11-12); where Judah is treated of, by whom is there signified the Lord, as must be evident to everyone. “Raiment” and “vesture” in this passage signify the Lord’s Divine natural; “wine” and “the blood of grapes” signify the Divine good and Divine truth of the natural. Of the former it is said that “his eyes are redder than wine;” of the latter that “his teeth are whiter than milk;” it is the conjunction of good and truth in the natural which is thus described.

[3] In Isaiah:

Who is this that cometh from Edom? Wherefore art Thou red in Thine apparel? and Thy garments like him that treadeth in the wine-vat? (Isaiah 63:1-2);

here “Edom” denotes the Divine good of the Lord’s Divine natural, as will appear from what follows; “red in Thine apparel” denotes the good of truth; “garments like him that treadeth in the wine-vat,” the truth of good.

In Jeremiah:

Her Nazirites were purer than snow, they were whiter than milk; they were more ruddy in bone than rubies, their polishing was of sapphire (Lam. 4:7).

By the “Nazirites” was represented the Lord as to the Divine Human, especially as to the Divine natural; thus the good therein by their being “more ruddy in bone than rubies.”

[4] As “red” signified good, especially the good of the natural, therefore in the Jewish Church, in which each and all things were representative of the Lord, and thence of His kingdom (consequently of good and truth, because the Lord’s kingdom is from these), it was commanded that the covering of the tent should be of the skins of red rams (Exodus 25:5; 26:14; 35:7, 23; 36:19); and also that the water of expiation should be made of the ashes of a red heifer burned (Numbers 19:2, 9). Unless the color red had signified something celestial in the Lord’s kingdom, it would never have been commanded that the rams should be red, and the heifer red. That holy things were thereby represented, everyone acknowledges who holds the Word to be holy. Inasmuch as the color red had such a signification, the coverings of the tent were interwoven and coupled together with threads of scarlet, crimson, and blue (Exodus 35:6).

[5] As almost all things have also an opposite sense, as has before been frequently stated, “red” in like manner then signifies the evil which is of the love of self; and this because the cupidities of the love of self are compared to fire and are called “fire” (n. 934, 1297, 1527, 1528, 1861, 2446); and in like manner they are compared to blood and are called “blood” (n. 374, 954, 1005). Hence in the opposite sense “red” has this signification; as in Isaiah:

Jehovah said, Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool (Isaiah 1:18).

In Nahum:

The shield of the mighty men (of Belial) is made red, the valiant men are made crimson, in the fire of torches are the chariots in the day (Nahum 2:3).

In John:

And there was seen another sign in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his heads seven diadems (Revelation 12:3).

Again:

And I saw and behold a white horse, and he that sat thereon had a bow; and there was given unto him a crown; and he went forth conquering and to conquer. And another horse came forth that was red; and to him that sat thereon it was given to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another; and there was given unto him a great sword. Afterwards there came forth a black horse; and at last a pale horse, whose name was death (Revelation 6:2, 4-5, 8).

Exodus 36

Studie

   

1 "Bezalel and Oholiab shall work with every wise-hearted man, in whom Yahweh has put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all the work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that Yahweh has commanded."

2 Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab, and every wise-hearted man, in whose heart Yahweh had put wisdom, even everyone whose heart stirred him up to come to the work to do it:

3 and they received from Moses all the offering which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, with which to make it. They brought yet to him freewill offerings every morning.

4 All the wise men, who performed all the work of the sanctuary, each came from his work which they did.

5 They spoke to Moses, saying, "The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work which Yahweh commanded to make."

6 Moses gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, "Let neither man nor woman make anything else for the offering for the sanctuary." So the people were restrained from bringing.

7 For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it, and too much.

8 All the wise-hearted men among those who did the work made the tabernacle with ten curtains; of fine twined linen, blue, purple, and scarlet, with cherubim, the work of the skillful workman, they made them.

9 The length of each curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits. All the curtains had one measure.

10 He coupled five curtains to one another, and the other five curtains he coupled one to another.

11 He made loops of blue on the edge of the one curtain from the edge in the coupling. Likewise he made in the edge of the curtain that was outmost in the second coupling.

12 He made fifty loops in the one curtain, and he made fifty loops in the edge of the curtain that was in the second coupling. The loops were opposite one to another.

13 He made fifty clasps of gold, and coupled the curtains one to another with the clasps: so the tabernacle was a unit.

14 He made curtains of goats' hair for a covering over the tabernacle. He made them eleven curtains.

15 The length of each curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits the breadth of each curtain. The eleven curtains had one measure.

16 He coupled five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves.

17 He made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was outmost in the coupling, and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain which was outmost in the second coupling.

18 He made fifty clasps of brass to couple the tent together, that it might be a unit.

19 He made a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering of sea cow hides above.

20 He made the boards for the tabernacle of acacia wood, standing up.

21 Ten cubits was the length of a board, and a cubit and a half the breadth of each board.

22 Each board had two tenons, joined one to another. He made all the boards of the tabernacle this way.

23 He made the boards for the tabernacle: twenty boards for the south side southward.

24 He made forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards; two sockets under one board for its two tenons, and two sockets under another board for its two tenons.

25 For the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, he made twenty boards,

26 and their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.

27 For the far part of the tabernacle westward he made six boards.

28 He made two boards for the corners of the tabernacle in the far part.

29 They were double beneath, and in the same way they were all the way to its top to one ring. He did thus to both of them in the two corners.

30 There were eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets; under every board two sockets.

31 He made bars of acacia wood; five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,

32 and five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle for the hinder part westward.

33 He made the middle bar to pass through in the midst of the boards from the one end to the other.

34 He overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold for places for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.

35 He made the veil of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen: with cherubim. He made it the work of a skillful workman.

36 He made four pillars of acacia for it, and overlaid them with gold. Their hooks were of gold. He cast four sockets of silver for them.

37 He made a screen for the door of the tent, of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of an embroiderer;

38 and the five pillars of it with their hooks. He overlaid their capitals and their fillets with gold, and their five sockets were of brass.
