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.

9577. 'Which you were given to see on the mountain' means which were seen in heaven with the eyes of the spirit. This is clear from the meaning of 'seeing', when it has reference to representatives in heaven, as seeing with the eyes of the spirit, dealt with below; and from the meaning of Mount Sinai as heaven, dealt with in 8805, 9420. The fact that 'seeing', when it has reference to representatives which make their appearance in heaven, means seeing with the eyes of the spirit may be recognized from the consideration that angelic spirits, who inhabit the lowest or first heaven, constantly see patterns or forms of things similar to such objects as exist in the world. They see for instance parks, trees there with fruit on them, flowers, and young plants, also houses and palaces, as well as very many kinds of living creatures, in addition to countless other things that have not been seen in the world. All those sights are representatives of heavenly realities that exist in higher heavens. These realities there manifest themselves in such a form or pattern before the eyes of the spirits below, in order that from it an angelic spirit may be able to know about and gain an insight into particular realities that come to exist in higher heavens; for all things, even the most specific, are representative and carry a spiritual meaning. All this makes clear what should be understood by a representative of heaven and heavenly realities, which are meant by the ark, cherubs, dwelling-place, tables there, and lampstand.

[2] Such sights cannot be seen with the human eye in the world, for the eye has been formed to take in earthly and bodily shapes, thus material objects. The eye therefore is so imperfect that with its vision it cannot even take in the secrets of the natural order, as magnifying glasses go to prove, since it must be supplied with these if it is to see merely the least hidden secrets of the natural order. In short, the eyes are extremely dim, and being like this they cannot possibly see the representatives which make their appearance to spirits in the next life. If these are to make their appearance the inferior light of the world must be taken away from the eyes; and once it has been taken away those things that exist in the light of heaven are seen. For there is the light of heaven and there is the light of the world; the light of heaven exists for a person's spirit and the light of the world for a person's body. The situation is that those things which exist in the light of heaven are in thick darkness when a person looks at them from the light of the world, and conversely those things which exist in the light of the world are in thick darkness when a person looks at them from the light of heaven. So it is that when the light of the world is taken away from the sight of his physical eye the eyes of his spirit are opened, and those things which exist in the light of heaven, thus representative forms or patterns, are seen, as has been stated above.

[3] From all this it may recognized why it is that people at the present day are in thick darkness so far as heavenly matters are concerned. Some are in darkness so thick that they do not even believe in the existence of life after death, nor therefore that they are going to be alive for evermore. For people at the present day are immersed so much in the body, thus in bodily, earthly, and worldly concerns, and consequently in the light of the world which is so imperfect, that heavenly things are complete and utter darkness to them, and therefore the sight of their spirit cannot be enlightened. All this now shows what is meant by seeing with the eyes of the spirit, the eyes with which Moses saw the pattern of the tent on Mount Sinai.
