Esodo 39

Studie

   

1 POI del violato, e della porpora e dello scarlatto, coloro fecero i vestimenti del servigio, per fare il ministerio nel Santuario; e anche fecero i vestimenti sacri per Aaronne; come il Signore avea comandato a Mosè.

2 Fecero adunque l’Efod d’oro, di violato, e di porpora, e di scarlatto, e di fin lino ritorto.

3 E assottigliarono delle piastre d’oro e le tagliarono per fila, per metterle in opera per mezzo il violato, e per mezzo la porpora, e per mezzo lo scarlatto, e per mezzo il fin lino, in lavoro di disegno.

4 E fecero a quello degli omerali che si accoppiavano insieme; e così l’Efod era accoppiato dai suoi due capi.

5 E il disegno del fregio ch’era sopra l’Efod, era tirato dell’Efod istesso, e del medesimo lavoro, d’oro, e di violato, e di porpora, e di scarlatto, e di fin lino ritorto; come il Signore avea comandato a Mosè.

6 Lavorarono ancora le pietre onichine, intorniate di castoni d’oro, nelle quali erano scolpiti i nomi de’ figliuoli d’Israele, a lavoro d’intagli di suggello.

7 E le misero sopra gli omerali dell’Efod, per esser pietre di ricordanza per li figliuoli d’Israele; come il Signore avea comandato a Mosè.

8 Fecero, oltre a ciò, il Pettorale, di lavoro di disegno, e dell’istesso lavoro dell’Efod, d’oro, di violato, e di porpora, e di scarlatto, e di fin lino ritorto.

9 Il Pettorale era quadrato ed essi lo fecero doppio; la sua lunghezza era d’una spanna, e la sua larghezza d’una spanna; ed era doppio.

10 E incastrarono in esso quattro ordini di pietre; nel primo v’era un sardonio, un topazio, e uno smeraldo.

11 E nel second’ordine v’era un carbonchio, uno zaffiro, e un diamante.

12 E nel terz’ordine v’era un ligurio, un’agata, ed un’amatista.

13 E nel quart’ordine v’era un grisolito, una pietra onichina, e un diaspro. Queste pietre erano legate in oro, ciascuna nel suo castone.

14 E quelle pietre erano in numero di dodici, secondo i nomi dei figliuoli d’Israele; in ciascuna d’esse era scolpito, a lavoro d’intagli di suggello, il suo nome, per le dodici tribù.

15 Fecero ancora al Pettorale le catenelle, d’oro puro, a capi, di lavoro intorcicchiato.

16 Fecero, oltre a ciò, due castoni d’oro, e due fibbie d’oro; misero eziandio due anelli a due capi del Pettorale.

17 Poi attaccarono quelle due catenelle d’oro intorcicchiate a que’ due anelli, a’ capi del Pettorale.

18 E i due capi dell’altre due catenelle intorcicchiate li attaccarono a que’ due castoni, i quali essi misero sopra gli omerali dell’Efod, in su la parte anteriore di esso.

19 Fecero ancora due anelli d’oro, i quali misero agli altri due capi del Pettorale, all’orlo di esso, ch’era allato all’Efod, in dentro.

20 Fecero, oltre a ciò, due anelli d’oro, e li misero ai due omerali dell’Efod, disotto, nella parte anteriore di esso, allato alla giuntura d’esso, disopra al fregio lavorato dell’Efod.

21 E serrarono il Pettorale da’ suoi anelli agli anelli dell’Efod, con una bendella di violato; in modo ch’egli era disopra del fregio lavorato dell’Efod, e non poteva esser tolto d’in su l’Efod; come il Signore avea comandato a Mosè.

22 Fecero ancora il Manto dell’Efod, di lavoro tessuto, tutto di violato.

23 E nel mezzo di quel Manto v’era una scollatura, simile a una scollatura di corazza, avendo un orlo attorno, acciocchè non si schiantasse.

24 E alle fimbrie di esso Manto d’intorno, fecero delle melagrane di violato, e di porpora, e di scarlatto, a fila ritorte.

25 Fecero ancora de’ sonagli d’oro puro, e misero que’ sonagli per mezzo quelle melagrane, alle fimbrie del Manto d’intorno, mescolandoli con le melagrane.

26 E mettendo un sonaglio, poi una melagrana; un sonaglio, poi una melagrana, alle fimbrie del Manto d’ogni intorno, per fare il ministerio; come il Signore avea comandato a Mosè.

27 Fecero ancora le toniche di fin lino, di lavoro tessuto, per Aaronne, e per li suoi figliuoli.

28 Fecero parimente la Benda di fin lino, e gli ornamenti delle mitrie, altresì di fin lino; e le mutande line, di fin lino ritorto.

29 Fecero ancora la Cintura, di fin lino ritorto, e di violato, e di porpora, e di scarlatto, di lavoro di ricamatore; come il Signore avea comandato a Mosè.

30 Fecero ancora la lama della sacra corona, d’oro puro; e scrissero sopra essa, in iscrittura d’intagli di suggello: LA SANTITÀ DEL SIGNORE.

31 E misero a quella una bendella di violato, per metterla in su la Benda, disopra; come il Signore avea comandato a Mosè.

32 Così fu finito tutto il lavorio del Padiglione, e del Tabernacolo della convenenza; e i figliuoli d’Israele fecero interamente secondo che il Signore avea comandato a Mosè.

33 POI portarono a Mosè la Tenda, il Tabernacolo, e tutti i suoi arredi, i suoi graffi, le sue assi, le sue sbarre, le sue colonne, e i suoi piedistalli;

34 e la coverta delle pelli di montone tinte in rosso, e la coverta delle pelli di tasso, e la Cortina da tendere davanti al Luogo santissimo;

35 l’Arca della Testimonianza, e le sue stanghe; e il Coperchio;

36 la Tavola, e tutti i suoi strumenti; e il pane del cospetto;

37 il Candelliere puro, e le sue lampane da tenere in ordine del continuo; e tutti i suoi strumenti, e l’olio per la lumiera;

38 e l’Altare d’oro, e l’olio dell’Unzione, e il profumo degli aromati, e il Tappeto dell’entrata del Tabernacolo;

39 l’Altar di rame, e la sua grata di rame, le sue sbarre, e tutti i suoi strumenti; la Conca, e il suo piede;

40 le cortine del Cortile, le sue colonne, e i suoi piedistalli; e il Tappeto per l’entrata del Cortile; le funi di esso Cortile, e i suoi piuoli, e tutti gli arredi dell’opera della Tenda del Tabernacolo della convenenza;

41 i vestimenti del servigio, per fare il ministerio nel Santuario; i vestimenti sacri per il Sacerdote Aaronne, e i vestimenti de’ suoi figliuoli, per esercitare il sacerdozio.

42 I figliuoli d’Israele fecero tutto il lavorio, interamente secondo che il Signore avea comandato a Mosè.

43 E Mosè vide tutta l’opera; ed ecco, essi l’aveano fatta come il Signore avea comandato. E Mosè li benedisse.

   


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.

Exploring the Meaning of Exodus 39

Napsal(a) New Christian Bible Study Staff

Arcana Coelestia 10807. As the things contained in this chapter, and in fact the things said about the garments of Aaron and of his sons in chapter 28, have already been unfolded in respect to the internal sense, a further explication of these things also is needless.

1. And you, cause Aaron your brother to come near to you, and his sons with him, from the midst of the children of Israel, so that he may serve Me in the priestly office - Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron.

2. And you shall make holy garments 1 for Aaron your brother, for glorious adornment. 2

3. And you shall speak to all the wise at heart, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, and they shall make Aaron's garments, to sanctify him, so that he may serve Me in the priestly office.

10. Six of their names on one stone, and the remaining six names on the other stone, according to their generations. 6

11. With the work of one who works on stones, 7 [like] the engravings of a signet, you shall engrave the two stones with the names of the sons of Israel; enclosed in sockets of gold you shall make them.

12. And you shall place the two stones on the shoulders of the ephod, as stones of remembrance for the sons of Israel; and Aaron shall bear their names before Jehovah on his two shoulders for remembrance.

16. It shall be square when doubled, 10 a span the length of it, and a span the breadth of it.

17. And you shall adorn it with settings of stones. 11 There shall be four rows of stones, the order being, A ruby, a topaz, a carbuncle - one row;

18. And the second row, A chrysoprase, a sapphire, and a diamond;

19. And the third row, A lapis lazuli, an agate, and an amethyst;

22. And you shall make on the breastplate small chains on the border 8 with the work of slender rope, 9 from pure gold.

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

26. And you shall make two rings of gold, and place them on the two ends of the breastplate, on the edge of it which is on this side of the ephod, inwards.

27. And you shall make two rings of gold, and put them on the two shoulders of the ephod, below before the face of it, against the join above the girdle of the ephod.

28. And they shall tie the breastplate from its rings to the rings of the ephod with a cord of violet, so that it is above the girdle of the ephod and the breastplate will not come away from upon the ephod.

31. And you shall make the robe of the ephod, the whole from violet.

32. And its hole for the head 14 shall be in the middle of it; its hole 15 shall have a border round about, the work of a weaver; something like the hole 15 of a corslet it must have, so that it does not tear.

33. And you shall make on its hem pomegranates of violet, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet on its hem round about, and bells of gold in the middle of them round about -

34. A bell of gold and a pomegranate, a bell of gold and a pomegranate, on the hem of the robe round about.

35. And it shall be on Aaron when he ministers, and his voice 16 will be heard when he goes into the holy place before Jehovah, and when he comes out, that he may not die.

36. And you shall make a plate of pure gold, and engrave on it, [like] the engraving of a signet, Holiness to Jehovah.

37. And you shall place it on a cord of violet, and it shall be on the turban; before the face of the turban 17 it shall be.

38. And it shall be on Aaron's forehead, and Aaron shall bear the iniquity of the holy things which the children of Israel shall sanctify, even in all their gifts of holy things; and it shall be on his forehead continually, so that they may be pleasing 18 before Jehovah.

39. And you shall weave the tunic in chequer work of fine linen, 19 and you shall make the turban of fine linen; and the belt you shall make with the work of an embroiderer.

40. And for Aaron's sons you shall make tunics, and you shall make belts for them, and you shall make headdresses for them, for glorious adornment. 20

41. And with these you shall clothe Aaron your brother, and his sons with him; and you shall anoint them, and fill their hand, 21 and sanctify them, and they shall serve Me in the priestly office.

42. And make for them linen undergarments to cover their naked flesh; from the loins even to the thighs they shall be.

43. And they shall be on Aaron and on his sons when they go into the tent of meeting or when they approach the altar to minister in the holy place, that they may not bear iniquity and die. It shall be the statute of an age 22 for him and his seed after him.

CONTENTS

The subject here is the holy garments which Aaron and his sons had to wear whenever they ministered. The priestly office in which Aaron and his sons were to serve represented the Lord in respect of the Divine Celestial, which is the Divine Good in heaven; and his garments represented the Divine Spiritual, which is the Divine Truth emanating from that Good.
