2 Mózes 25

Studie

   

1 És szóla az Úr Mózeshez, mondván:

2 Szólj az Izráel fiainak, hogy szedjenek nékem ajándékokat; minden embertõl, a kit szíve hajt arra, szedjetek nékem ajándékokat.

3 Ez pedig az az ajándék, a mit tõlök szedjetek: arany és ezüst és réz.

4 És kék, és bíborpiros, és karmazsinszinû [fonal], meg len [fonal,] és kecskeszõr.

5 És veresre festett kosbõrök, és borzbõrök, és sittim-fa.

6 Mécsbe való olaj, kenet-olajhoz való arómák, és füstöléshez való fûszerek.

7 Ónix-kövek és foglalni való kövek, az efódhoz és a hósenhez.

8 És készítsenek nékem szent hajlékot, hogy õ közöttök lakozzam.

9 Mindenestõl úgy csináljátok, a mint én megmutatom néked a hajléknak formáját, és annak minden edényeinek formáját.

10 És csináljanak egy ládát sittim-fából; harmadfél sing hosszút, másfél sing széleset, és másfél sing magasat.

11 Borítsd meg azt tiszta aranynyal, belõl is kivül is megborítsd azt, és csinálj reá köröskörûl arany pártázatot.

12 És önts ahhoz négy arany karikát, és illeszd [azokat] a négy szegeletére; egyik oldalára is két karikát, a másik oldalára is két karikát.

13 Csinálj rúdakat is sittim-fából, és azokat is megborítsd arannyal.

14 És a rúdakat dugd a láda oldalain levõ karikákba, hogy azokon hordozzák a ládát.

15 A rúdak álljanak a láda karikáiban; ne vegyék ki azokból.

16 És a bizonyságot, a melyet néked adok, tedd a ládába.

17 Csinálj fedelet is tiszta aranyból: harmadfél sing hosszút, és másfél sing széleset.

18 Csinálj két Kérubot is aranyból, vert [arany]ból csináld azokat a fedélnek két végére.

19 Az egyik Kérubot csináld az egyik végére innen, a másik Kérubot a másik végére onnan: a fedélbõl csináljátok ki a Kérubokat annak két végén.

20 A Kérubok pedig terjeszszék ki szárnyaikat fölfelé, betakarva szárnyaikkal a fedelet; arczaik egymásfelé legyenek; a Kérubok arczai a fedél felé forduljanak.

21 A fedelet pedig helyezd a ládára felül, a ládába pedig tedd a bizonyságot, a melyet adok néked.

22 Ott jelenek meg néked, és szólok hozzád a fedél tetejérõl, a két Kérub közül, melyek a bizonyság ládája felett vannak, mindazokról, a miket általad parancsolok az Izráel fiainak.

23 Csinálj asztalt is sittim-fából, két sing hosszút, egy sing széleset, és másfél sing magasat.

24 És borítsd be azt tiszta aranynyal, és csinálj reá köröskörül arany pártázatot.

25 Csinálj reá köröskörûl egy tenyérnyi karájt, karajára pedig csinálj köröskörûl arany pártázatot.

26 Négy arany karikát is csinálj hozzá, és illeszd a karikákat a Négy lábának Négy szegletére.

27 A karáj mellett legyenek a karikák rúdtartókul, hogy hordozhassák az asztalt.

28 Azokat a rúdakat is sittim-fából csináld és aranynyal borítsd be, és azokon hordozzák az asztalt.

29 Készítsd el tálait is, csészéit is, kancsóit is, kelyheit is, a melyekkel italáldozatot áldoznak; tiszta aranyból csináld azokat.

30 És tégy az asztalra szent kenyeret, [mely] mindenkor elõttem [legyen].

31 Csinálj gyertyatartót is tiszta aranyból; vert [arany]ból készüljön a gyertyatartó; annak szára, ága csészéi, gombjai és virágai ugyanabból legyenek.

32 Hat ág jõjjön ki oldalaiból; három gyertyatartó-ág az egyik oldalból, és három gyertyatartó-ág a másik oldalból.

33 Mandolavirág formájú három csésze az egyik ágon, gombbal és virággal; és mandolavirág formájú három csésze a másik ágon is, gombbal és virággal; így legyen a gyertyatartóból kijövõ mind a hat ágon.

34 A gyertyatartón pedig négy mandolavirág formájú csésze legyen, gombjaival és virágaival.

35 Gomb legyen a belõle [kijövõ] két ág alatt; ismét gomb a belõle [kijövõ] két ág alatt, és ismét gomb a belõle [kijövõ] két ág alatt: [így] a gyertyatartóból kijövõ [mind] a hat ág alatt.

36 Gombjaik és ágaik magából legyenek; egy darab tiszta aranyból legyen verve az egész.

37 Csinálj hozzá hét mécset is, és úgy rakják fel mécseit, hogy elõre világítsanak.

38 Hamvvevõi és hamutartói is tiszta aranyból legyenek.

39 Egy tálentom tiszta aranyból csinálják azt, mindezeket az eszközöket.

40 Vigyázz, hogy arra a formára csináld, a mely a hegyen mutattatott néked.

276. Verses 6-8. And in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four animals full of eyes before and behind. And the first animal was like a lion, and the second animal like a calf, and the third animal had a face as a man, and the fourth animal was like a flying eagle. And the four animals had each by itself six wings roundabout; and they were full of eyes within, and they had no rest day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, who was, and who is, and who is to come.

"And in the midst of the throne and round about the throne were four animals full of eyes before and behind," signifies the guardianship and providence of the Lord to prevent the interior heavens being approached, except by the good of love and of charity, that lower things thence depending may be in order.

"And the first animal was like a lion," signifies the appearance in ultimates of Divine truth proceeding from the Lord as to the power and effect; "and the second animal like a calf," signifies the appearance in ultimates of Divine good as to defence; "and the third animal had a face as a man," signifies the appearance in ultimates of the Lord's Divine guardianship and providence as to wisdom; "and the fourth animal was like a flying eagle," signifies the appearance in ultimates of the Divine guardianship and providence as to intelligence, and as to circumspection in every direction.

"And the four animals had, each by itself six wings roundabout," signifies the appearance of the Divine spiritual in every direction around the Divine celestial; "and they were full of eyes within," signifies the Divine providence and guardianship; "and they had no rest day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy," signifies what is most holy proceeding from the Lord; "Lord God Almighty, who was, and who is, and who is to come," signifies who is infinite and eternal.

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.
