Numbers 7

Studie

   

1 And it was, on the day that Moses had completed raising·​·up the Habitation, and had anointed it, and sanctified it, and all its vessels; and the altar and all its vessels`, and he anointed them, and sanctified them;

2 that the chiefs of Israel, heads of the house of their fathers, they who were the chiefs of the tribes, they who stood over those who were numbered, offered.

3 And they brought their offering before Jehovah, six covered carts, and twelve cattle; a cart for two of the chiefs, and an ox for each one; and they offered them before the Habitation.

4 And Jehovah said to Moses, saying,

5 Take it from them, and they may be to serve the service of the Tabernacle of the congregation; and thou shalt give them to the Levites, to each·​·man according·​·to* his service.

6 And Moses took the carts and the cattle, and gave them to the Levites.

7 Two carts and four cattle he gave to the sons of Gershon, according·​·to* their service;

8 and four carts and eight cattle he gave to the sons of Merari, according to their service, into the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.

9 But to the sons of Kohath he gave not any; for the service of the sanctuary was upon them that they should bear on the shoulders.

10 And the chiefs offered with the dedication of the altar in the day when it was anointed, and the chiefs offered their offering before the altar.

11 And Jehovah said to Moses, They shall offer their offering, one chief for a day, one chief for a day, for the dedication of the altar.

Tabernacle

  

In 1 Samuel 1:9, the tabernacle signifies the truth of faith with man. (Arcana Coelestia 2048)

A temple signifies the Lord's spiritual church; in a universal sense, the spiritual kingdom; in the highest sense, the Lord as to His Divine Truth. (Arcana Coelestia 3720)

In 1 Samuel 3:3, when the lamp had not been put out, and Samuel was sleeping in the tabernacle, this signifies that the extinction of truth in worship had not yet been fully accomplished. (Apocalypse Explained 403[18])

In Psalm 65:4, being satisfied with the goodness of the holy place of the temple signifies to be intelligent from divine truth, and to realize heavenly joy therefrom. (Apocalypse Explained 630[11])

In Revelation 21:22, that there is no temple in the New Jerusalem signifies that in that new church, the external worship will not be separate from internal. (Apocalypse Explained 918)

'The Tabernacle,' as in Revelation 13, signifies the church regarding doctrine and worship. 'The tabernacle' has almost the same meaning as 'temple,' that is, in the highest sense, the Lord's divine humanity, and in a relative sense, heaven and the church. But 'tabernacle' as heaven and the church signifies the celestial church, which is in the good of love from the Lord to the Lord, and 'temple,' the spiritual church, which is in the truths of wisdom from the Lord. 'The tabernacle' signifies the celestial kingdom, because the most ancient church, which was celestial, in a state of love to the Lord, performed divine worship in tabernacles. The ancient church, which was a spiritual church, performed divine worship in temples. Tabernacles were made of wood, and temples, stone. 'Wood' signifies good, and 'stone,' truth. Since the most ancient church, a celestial church, because of their love to the Lord, and resulting conjunction with Him, celebrated divine worship in tabernacles, so the Lord commanded Moses to build a tabernacle, which represented everything of heaven and the church. It was so holy, that it was not lawful for anyone to go into it, except Moses, Aaron, and his sons. If any of the people entered, they would die, as in Numbers 17:12-13, 18:1, 22, 23, and 19:14-19. The ark was in its center, which contained the two tables of the Decalogue, and was topped with the mercy seat and the cherubim. Outside of the veil, there were the table for the shew-bread, the altar of incense, and the candlestick with seven lamps. All of these things represented heaven and the church. The Tabernacle is described Exodus 26:7-16 and 36:8-37, and its design was shown to Moses on Mount Sinai, as in Exodus 25:9 and 26:30. Anything seen from heaven is representative of heaven, and so of the church. The feast of tabernacles was instituted in memory of the most holy worship of the Lord in tabernacles by the most ancient people, and of their conjunction with Him by love, as mentioned in Leviticus 23:39-44, Deuteronomy 16:13-14 and Zechariah 14:16-19.
