Exodus 25

Studie

   

1 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens :

2 Loquere filiis Israël, ut tollant mihi primitias : ab omni homine qui offeret ultroneus, accipietis eas.

3 Hæc sunt autem quæ accipere debeatis : aurum, et argentum, et æs,

4 hyacinthum et purpuram, coccumque bis tinctum, et byssum, pilos caprarum,

5 et pelles arietum rubricatas, pellesque janthinas, et ligna setim :

6 oleum ad luminaria concinnanda : aromata in unguentum, et thymiamata boni odoris :

7 lapides onychinos, et gemmas ad ornandum ephod, ac rationale.

8 Facientque mihi sanctuarium, et habitabo in medio eorum :

9 juxta omnem similitudinem tabernaculi quod ostendam tibi, et omnium vasorum in cultum ejus. Sicque facietis illud :

10 arcam de lignis setim compingite, cujus longitudo habeat duos et semis cubitos : latitudo, cubitum et dimidium : altitudo, cubitum similiter ac semissem.

11 Et deaurabis eam auro mundissimo intus et foris : faciesque supra, coronam auream per circuitum :

12 et quatuor circulos aureos, quos pones per quatuor arcæ angulos : duo circuli sint in latere uno, et duo in altero.

13 Facies quoque vectes de lignis setim, et operies eos auro.

14 Inducesque per circulos qui sunt in arcæ lateribus, ut portetur in eis :

15 qui semper erunt in circulis, nec umquam extrahentur ab eis.

16 Ponesque in arca testificationem quam dabo tibi.

17 Facies et propitiatorium de auro mundissimo : duos cubitos et dimidium tenebit longitudo ejus, et cubitum ac semissem latitudo.

18 Duos quoque cherubim aureos et productiles facies, ex utraque parte oraculi.

19 Cherub unus sit in latere uno, et alter in altero.

20 Utrumque latus propitiatorii tegant expandentes alas, et operientes oraculum, respiciantque se mutuo versis vultibus in propitiatorium quo operienda est arca,

21 in qua pones testimonium quod dabo tibi.

22 Inde præcipiam, et loquar ad te supra propitiatorium, ac de medio duorum cherubim, qui erunt super arcam testimonii, cuncta quæ mandabo per te filiis Israël.

23 Facies et mensam de lignis setim, habentem duos cubitos longitudinis, et in latitudine cubitum, et in altitudine cubitum et semissem.

24 Et inaurabis eam auro purissimo : faciesque illi labium aureum per circuitum,

25 et ipsi labio coronam interrasilem altam quatuor digitis : et super illam, alteram coronam aureolam.

26 Quatuor quoque circulos aureos præparabis, et pones eis in quatuor angulis ejusdem mensæ per singulos pedes.

27 Subter coronam erunt circuli aurei, ut mittantur vectes per eos, et possit mensa portari.

28 Ipsos quoque vectes facies de lignis setim, et circumdabis auro ad subvehendam mensam.

29 Parabis et acetabula, ac phialas, thuribula, et cyathos, in quibus offerenda sunt libamina, ex auro purissimo.

30 Et pones super mensam panes propositionis in conspectu meo semper.

31 Facies et candelabrum ductile de auro mundissimo, hastile ejus, et calamos, scyphos, et sphærulas, ac lilia ex ipso procedentia.

32 Sex calami egredientur de lateribus, tres ex uno latere, et tres ex altero.

33 Tres scyphi quasi in nucis modum per calamos singulos, sphærulaque simul, et lilium : et tres similiter scyphi instar nucis in calamo altero, sphærulaque simul et lilium. Hoc erit opus sex calamorum, qui producendi sunt de hastili :

34 in ipso autem candelabro erunt quatuor scyphi in nucis modum, sphærulæque per singulos, et lilia.

35 Sphærulæ sub duobus calamis per tria loca, qui simul sex fiunt procedentes de hastili uno.

36 Et sphærulæ igitur et calami ex ipso erunt, universa ductilia de auro purissimo.

37 Facies et lucernas septem, et pones eas super candelabrum, ut luceant ex adverso.

38 Emunctoria quoque, et ubi quæ emuncta sunt extinguantur, fiant de auro purissimo.

39 Omne pondus candelabri cum universis vasis suis habebit talentum auri purissimi.

40 Inspice, et fac secundum exemplar quod tibi in monte monstratum est.

9557. 'There shall be three almond-shaped cups' means completeness so far as factual knowledge derived from good is concerned. This is clear from the meaning of 'three' as what is complete, dealt with immediately above in 9556; from the meaning of 'cups' as true factual knowledge derived from the good of charity, dealt with in 5120; and from the meaning of 'almond-shaped' as forms of the good of life that agree with the truths of interior natural good, dealt with in 5622. From these meanings it is evident that 'three almond-shaped cups' means completeness so far as true factual knowledge derived from good is concerned.

5622. 'Pistachio nuts and almonds' means forms of the good of life that agree with those truths. This is clear from the meaning of 'pistachio nuts' as forms of the good of life that agree with the truths of exterior natural good, meant by 'resin', dealt with below; and from the meaning of 'almonds' as forms of the good of life that agree with the truths of interior natural good, meant by 'aromatic wax and stacte'. Those nuts have that meaning because they are fruits, and 'fruits' in the Word means deeds - fruits produced by useful trees meaning good deeds, or what amounts to the same, forms of the good of life, since these, so far as the use they serve is concerned, are good deeds. The reason 'pistachio nuts' means forms of the good of life that agree with the truths of exterior natural good is that they are the fruit borne by an inferior kind of tree, and things of an exterior nature are meant by objects of an inferior kind, for the reason that essentially exterior things are not so specific as interior ones since they are the general appearances produced by large numbers of inner components.

[2] The reason 'almonds' means forms of the good of life that agree with the truths of interior natural good is that the almond is a superior kind of tree. In the spiritual sense the tree itself means a perception of interior truth derived from good, its blossom means interior truth derived from good, while its fruit means the good of life resulting from that truth. The word 'almond' is used with this meaning in Jeremiah,

The word of Jehovah came [to me], saying, What do you see, Jeremiah? And I said, A rod of almond do I see. Then Jehovah said to me, You have seen well, 1 for I am watching over My word to perform it. Jeremiah 1:11-12.

'A rod' stands for power, 'almond' for a perception of interior truth; and because this rod is said to be Jehovah's it stands for a watching over that truth -'word' standing for truth.

[3] The almonds which blossomed on Aaron's rod for the tribe of Levi also mean the good deeds of charity or forms of the good of life. They are described in Moses as follows,

It happened the next day, when Moses went into the tent of meeting, that behold, Aaron's rod for the house 2 of Levi had blossomed, and had produced buds, 3 so that it flowered and produced almonds. Numbers 17:8.

This was the sign that that tribe had been chosen for the priesthood; for charity was meant by that tribe, 3875, 3877, 4497, 4502, 4503, and charity is the essential characteristic of the spiritual Church.
