Esodo 28

Studie

   

1 E TU, fa’ accostare a te, d’infra i figliuoli d’Israele, Aaronne tuo fratello, e i suoi figliuoli con lui, per esercitarmi il sacerdozio; Aaronne, dico, e Nadab, e Abihu, ed Eleazaro, e Itamar, figliuoli di Aaronne.

2 E fa’ ad Aaronne, tuo fratello, de’ vestimenti sacri, a gloria ed ornamento.

3 E parla a tutti gli uomini industriosi, i quali io ho ripieni di spirito d’industria, che facciano i vestimenti di Aaronne, per consacrarlo, acciocchè mi eserciti il sacerdozio.

4 E questi sono i vestimenti che hanno da fare; il Pettorale, e l’Efod, e il Manto, e la Tonica trapunta; la Benda, e la Cintura. Facciano adunque i vestimenti sacri ad Aaronne, tuo fratello, e a’ suoi figliuoli, per esercitarmi il sacerdozio.

5 E prendano di quell’oro, di quel violato, porpora, scarlatto, e fin lino;

6 e facciano l’Efod, d’oro, di violato, di porpora, di scarlatto, e di fin lino ritorto, di lavoro di disegno.

7 Sienvi due omerali che si accoppino insieme da’ due capi di esso; e così sia l’Efod accoppiato.

8 E sia il disegno del fregio che sarà sopra l’Efod, col quale egli si cingerà, del medesimo lavoro, tirato dall’Efod istesso, d’oro, di violato, di porpora, di scarlatto, e di fin lino ritorto.

9 Piglia ancora due pietre onichine, e scolpisci sopra esse i nomi de’ figliuoli d’Israele;

10 sei de’ nomi loro sopra una pietra, e gli altri sei nomi sopra l’altra pietra, secondo le lor nascite.

11 Scolpisci sopra quelle due pietre i nomi de’ figliuoli d’Israele, a lavoro di scultor di pietre, come s’intagliano i suggelli; falle intorniate di castoni d’oro.

12 E metti quelle due pietre sopra gli omerali dell’Efod, acciochè sieno pietre di ricordanza per i figliuoli d’Israele; porti Aaronne i nomi loro davanti al Signore, sopra le sue due spalle, per memoria.

13 E fai de’ castoni d’oro.

14 E due catenelle di oro puro; falle a capi, di lavoro intorcicchiato; e attacca quelle catenelle intorcicchiate a’ castoni.

15 Fa’, oltre a ciò, il Pettorale del giudicio, di lavoro di disegno; fallo del lavoro dell’Efod, d’oro, e di violato, e di porpora, e di scarlatto, e di fin lino ritorto.

16 Sia quadrato, e doppio; e abbia in lunghezza una spanna, e una spanna in larghezza.

17 E incastra in esso delle pietre preziose in castoni, in quattro ordini; nel primo siavi un sardonio, un topazio, e uno smeraldo.

18 E nel secondo, un carbonchio, uno zaffiro, e un diamante.

19 E nel terzo, un ligurio, un’agata, e un’amatista.

20 E nel quarto un grisolito, una pietra onichina, e un diaspro. Sieno quelle pietre incastrate nei lor castoni d’oro.

21 E sieno quelle pietre in numero di dodici, secondo i nomi de’ figliuoli d’Israele; abbia ciascuna il suo nome intagliato a lavoro d’intagli di suggello; e sieno per le dodici tribù.

22 Fa’ eziandio al Pettorale delle catenelle a capi, di lavoro intorcicchiato, d’oro puro.

23 Fa’ ancora al Pettorale due anelli d’oro, e metti que’ due anelli a due de’ capi del Pettorale.

24 E metti quelle due catenelle d’oro intorcicchiate a que’ due anelli, a’ capi del Pettorale.

25 E attacca i due capi di quelle due catenelle intorcicchiate a que’ due castoni, e metti il Pettorale, e le sue catenelle, sopra i due omerali dell’Efod, in su la parte anteriore di esso.

26 Fa’ ancora due anelli d’oro, e mettili agli altri due capi del Pettorale, all’orlo di esso che sarà allato all’Efod, in dentro.

27 Fa’ parimente due anelli d’oro, e mettili a’ due omerali dell’Efod, al disotto, nella parte anteriore di esso, allato alla giuntura di esso, disopra al fregio lavorato dell’Efod.

28 E giungasi il Pettorale serrato da’ suoi anelli agli anelli dell’Efod, con una bendella di violato, acciocchè stia disopra al fregio lavorato dell’Efod, e non sia il Pettorale rimosso d’in su l’Efod.

29 E porti Aaronne i nomi de’ figliuoli d’Israele nel Pettorale del giudicio, in sul suo cuore, quando egli entrerà nel Santuario, per ricordanza, nel cospetto del Signore, del continuo.

30 E metti Urim e Tummim nel Pettorale del giudicio; sieno in sul cuore di Aaronne, quando egli entrerà nel cospetto del Signore; e porti Aaronne il Giudicio de’ figliuoli d’Israele sopra il suo cuore, del continuo.

31 Fa’ ancora il Manto dell’Efod, tutto di violato.

32 E siavi nel mezzo di esso una scollatura da passarvi dentro il capo; abbia quella sua scollatura un orlo d’intorno, di lavoro tessuto; a guisa di scollatura di corazza, acciocchè non si schianti.

33 E fa’ alle fimbrie di esso Manto, attorno attorno, delle melagrane di violato, di porpora, e di scarlatto; e de’ sonagli d’oro per mezzo quelle d’ogni intorno.

34 Un sonaglio di oro, poi una melagrana; un sonaglio di oro, poi una melagrana, alle fimbrie del Manto d’ogn’intorno.

35 Ed abbia Aaronne quel Manto addosso quando farà il servigio divino; e odasi il suono di esso quando egli entrerà nel luogo Santo, nel cospetto del Signore, e quando ne uscirà, acciocchè non muoia.

36 Fa’ ancora una lama d’oro puro, e scolpisci sopra essa, a lavoro d’intagli di suggello: LA SANTITÀ DEL SIGNORE.

37 E metti quella piastra in sur una bendella di violato, sicchè sia sopra la Benda, in su la parte anteriore di essa.

38 E sia in su la fronte di Aaronne: acciocchè Aaronne porti l’iniquità delle sante offerte, le quali i figliuoli d’Israele avranno consacrate in tutte le offerte ch’essi consacrano; e sia in su la fronte di esso del continuo, per renderli grati nel cospetto del Signore.

39 Fa’ ancora la Tonica di fin lino, trapunta; fa’ parimente la Benda di fin lino; e fa’ la Cintura di lavoro di ricamatore.

40 Fa’ ancora a’ figliuoli di Aaronne, delle toniche, e delle cinture, e delle mitrie, a gloria ed ornamento.

41 E vesti di questi vestimenti Aaronne, tuo fratello, e i suoi figliuoli; e ungili, e consacrali, e santificali, acciocchè mi esercitino il sacerdozio.

42 Fa’ loro ancora delle mutande line, per coprir la carne delle vergogne; giungano quelle mutande dai lombi fino al disotto delle cosce.

43 E abbianle Aaronne ed i suoi figliuoli addosso, quando entreranno nel Tabernacolo della convenenza; ovvero, quando si accosteranno all’Altare, per fare il servigio nel luogo Santo; acciocchè non portino pena d’iniquità, e non muoiano. Questo è uno statuto perpetuo per lui, e per la sua progenie dopo lui.

   


To many Protestant and Evangelical Italians, the Bibles translated by Giovanni Diodati are an important part of their history. Diodati’s first Italian Bible edition was printed in 1607, and his second in 1641. He died in 1649. Throughout the 1800s two editions of Diodati’s text were printed by the British Foreign Bible Society. This is the more recent 1894 edition, translated by Claudiana.

9854. 'With the work of slender rope' means the mode of the joining together. This is clear from the meaning of 'slender rope' as that which serves to join things together. The reason why 'slender rope' means that which so serves to join things together is that such a cord is used to join one object to another. But in this instance it means the mode of the joining together, for the narrative is saying that the small chains of pure gold had to be made 'with the work' of slender rope. 'Slender rope' is used in the original language to describe a cord made from twisted and intertwined work, by which is meant in the internal sense a joining together such as that of truths within known facts and interlinking such facts, thus a joining together in the natural or external memory. The reason why this kind of joining together is meant is that the subject at this point is the joining together of truths through good in the last and lowest parts of the spiritual kingdom. For 'the ephod' and 'the breastplate', to which [the shoulder-pieces] were joined by means of the small chains made from 'the work of slender rope', mean the lowest levels of the spiritual kingdom, 9824. As regards what is intertwined or tangled, that it denotes factual knowledge, see 2831.

[2] In the next life also ropes appear, varying in the ways in which their strands are twisted together and varying in thickness; and they represent the varying modes by which things are joined together. This explains also why in the Word things which serve to join others together are meant by 'ropes', as in the following places: In Isaiah,

Woe to those who draw iniquity with ropes of vanity, and [whose] sin is like a cart rope! Isaiah 5:18.

'Ropes of vanity' are joinings together of falsities, through which iniquity or evil in life is brought in. In the same prophet,

Look upon Zion, the city of our appointed feast. May your eyes see Jerusalem, a quiet dwelling-place, a tent which will not be overthrown. Its pegs will never be removed, and none of its ropes will be pulled away. Your ropes have been loosed; they will not strengthen their mast. Isaiah 33:20, 23.

'Pegs' and 'ropes' stand for the things which serve to join together heaven's truths and forms of good; for the dwelling-place and tent, which the ropes spoken of here belong to, are heaven, 9457, 9481, 9485, 9615, 9784.

[3] In the same prophet,

Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch out the curtains of your dwelling-places; do not stop [them]. Lengthen your ropes, and make your pegs firm. Isaiah 54:2.

And in Jeremiah,

My tent has been laid waste, and all My ropes torn away. Jeremiah 10:20.

Here also 'ropes' stands for things that serve to join others together and make them firm. 'Tent' stands for the Church, which is the Lord's heaven on earth. In Hosea,

I drew them with ropes of human kindness, 1 with thick ropes of love. Hosea 11:4.

Here 'ropes' plainly stands for things which join others together; for love is spiritual togetherness. In Ezekiel,

Asshur and Kilmad, they were your traders with the treasures of garments tied by means of ropes. Ezekiel 27:23-24.

This refers to Tyre, by which cognitions or knowledge of goodness and truth are meant, 1201. Outward joinings together of these are meant by 'garments tied by means of ropes'. In addition 'ropes' is also used in the Word to mean apportionments of inheritances and of the land, because ropes were used in measurements of them, as in Deuteronomy 32:9; Amos 7:17; Micah 2:4-5; Zechariah 2:1; Psalms 16:6; 78:55; 105:11; 140:5; and many times elsewhere.

Exodus 28

Studie

   

1 "Bring Aaron your brother, and his sons with him, near to you from among the children of Israel, that he may minister to me in the priest's office, even Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron's sons.

2 You shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother, for glory and for beauty.

3 You shall speak to all who are wise-hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they make Aaron's garments to sanctify him, that he may minister to me in the priest's office.

4 These are the garments which they shall make: a breastplate, and an ephod, and a robe, and a coat of checker work, a turban, and a sash: and they shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother, and his sons, that he may minister to me in the priest's office.

5 They shall take the gold, and the blue, and the purple, and the scarlet, and the fine linen.

6 "They shall make the ephod of gold, of blue, and purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of the skillful workman.

7 It shall have two shoulder straps joined to the two ends of it, that it may be joined together.

8 The skillfully woven band, which is on it, that is on him, shall be like its work and of the same piece; of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.

9 You shall take two onyx stones, and engrave on them the names of the children of Israel:

10 six of their names on the one stone, and the names of the six that remain on the other stone, in the order of their birth.

11 With the work of an engraver in stone, like the engravings of a signet, you shall engrave the two stones, according to the names of the children of Israel: you shall make them to be enclosed in settings of gold.

12 You shall put the two stones on the shoulder straps of the ephod, to be stones of memorial for the children of Israel: and Aaron shall bear their names before Yahweh on his two shoulders for a memorial.

13 You shall make settings of gold,

14 and two chains of pure gold; you shall make them like cords of braided work: and you shall put the braided chains on the settings.

15 "You shall make a breastplate of judgment, the work of the skillful workman; like the work of the ephod you shall make it; of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, you shall make it.

16 It shall be square and folded double; a span shall be its length of it, and a span its breadth.

17 You shall set in it settings of stones, four rows of stones: a row of ruby, topaz, and beryl shall be the first row;

18 and the second row a turquoise, a sapphire, and an emerald;

19 and the third row a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;

20 and the fourth row a chrysolite, an onyx, and a jasper: they shall be enclosed in gold in their settings.

21 The stones shall be according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names; like the engravings of a signet, everyone according to his name, they shall be for the twelve tribes.

22 You shall make on the breastplate chains like cords, of braided work of pure gold.

23 You shall make on the breastplate two rings of gold, and shall put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.

24 You shall put the two braided chains of gold in the two rings at the ends of the breastplate.

25 The other two ends of the two braided chains you shall put on the two settings, and put them on the shoulder straps of the ephod in its forepart.

26 You shall make two rings of gold, and you shall put them on the two ends of the breastplate, on its edge, which is toward the side of the ephod inward.

27 You shall make two rings of gold, and shall put them on the two shoulder straps of the ephod underneath, in its forepart, close by its coupling, above the skillfully woven band of the ephod.

28 They shall bind the breastplate by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it may be on the skillfully woven band of the ephod, and that the breastplate may not swing out from the ephod.

29 Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel in the breastplate of judgment on his heart, when he goes in to the holy place, for a memorial before Yahweh continually.

30 You shall put in the breastplate of judgment the Urim and the Thummim; and they shall be on Aaron's heart, when he goes in before Yahweh: and Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel on his heart before Yahweh continually.

31 "You shall make the robe of the ephod all of blue.

32 It shall have a hole for the head in its midst: it shall have a binding of woven work around its hole, as it were the hole of a coat of mail, that it not be torn.

33 On its hem you shall make pomegranates of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, around its hem; and bells of gold between and around them:

34 a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, around the hem of the robe.

35 It shall be on Aaron to minister: and its sound shall be heard when he goes in to the holy place before Yahweh, and when he comes out, that he not die.

36 "You shall make a plate of pure gold, and engrave on it, like the engravings of a signet, 'HOLY TO YAHWEH.'

37 You shall put it on a lace of blue, and it shall be on the sash; on the front of the sash it shall be.

38 It shall be on Aaron's forehead, and Aaron shall bear the iniquity of the holy things, which the children of Israel shall make holy in all their holy gifts; and it shall be always on his forehead, that they may be accepted before Yahweh.

39 You shall weave the coat in checker work of fine linen, and you shall make a turban of fine linen, and you shall make a sash, the work of the embroiderer.

40 "You shall make coats for Aaron's sons, and you shall make sashes for them and you shall make headbands for them, for glory and for beauty.

41 You shall put them on Aaron your brother, and on his sons with him, and shall anoint them, and consecrate them, and sanctify them, that they may minister to me in the priest's office.

42 You shall make them linen breeches to cover the flesh of their nakedness; from the waist even to the thighs they shall reach:

43 They shall be on Aaron, and on his sons, when they go in to the Tent of Meeting, or when they come near to the altar to minister in the holy place; that they don't bear iniquity, and die: it shall be a statute forever to him and to his descendants after him.
