Exodus 39

Studie

   

1 De hyacintho vero et purpura, vermiculo ac bysso, fecit vestes, quibus indueretur Aaron quando ministrabat in sanctis, sicut præcepit Dominus Moysi.

2 Fecit igitur superhumerale de auro, hyacintho, et purpura, coccoque bis tincto, et bysso retorta,

3 opere polymitario : inciditque bracteas aureas, et extenuavit in fila, ut possent torqueri cum priorum colorum subtegmine,

4 duasque oras sibi invicem copulatas in utroque latere summitatum,

5 et balteum ex eisdem coloribus, sicut præceperat Dominus Moysi.

6 Paravit et duos lapides onychinos, astrictos et inclusos auro, et sculptos arte gemmaria nominibus filiorum Israël :

7 posuitque eos in lateribus superhumeralis in monimentum filiorum Israël, sicut præceperat Dominus Moysi.

8 Fecit et rationale opere polymito juxta opus superhumeralis, ex auro, hyacintho, purpura, coccoque bis tincto, et bysso retorta :

9 quadrangulum, duplex, mensuræ palmi.

10 Et posuit in eo gemmarum ordines quatuor. In primo versu erat sardius, topazius, smaragdus.

11 In secundo, carbunculus, sapphirus, et jaspis.

12 In tertio, ligurius, achates, et amethystus.

13 In quarto, chrysolithus, onychinus, et beryllus, circumdati et inclusi auro per ordines suos.

14 Ipsique lapides duodecim sculpti erant nominibus duodecim tribuum Israël, singuli per nomina singulorum.

15 Fecerunt in rationali et catenulas sibi invicem cohærentes, de auro purissimo :

16 et duos uncinos, totidemque annulos aureos. Porro annulos posuerunt in utroque latere rationalis,

17 e quibus penderent duæ catenæ aureæ, quas inseruerunt uncinis, qui in superhumeralis angulis eminebant.

18 Hæc et ante et retro ita conveniebant sibi, ut superhumerale et rationale mutuo necterentur,

19 stricta ad balteum et annulis fortius copulata, quos jungebat vitta hyacinthina, ne laxa fluerent, et a se invicem moverentur, sicut præcepit Dominus Moysi.

20 Feceruntque quoque tunicam superhumeralis totam hyacinthinam,

21 et capitium in superiori parte contra medium, oramque per gyrum capitii textilem :

22 deorsum autem ad pedes mala punica ex hyacintho, purpura, vermiculo, ac bysso retorta :

23 et tintinnabula de auro purissimo, quæ posuerunt inter malogranata, in extrema parte tunicæ per gyrum :

24 tintinnabulum autem aureum, et malum punicum, quibus ornatus incedebat pontifex quando ministerio fungebatur, sicut præceperat Dominus Moysi.

25 Fecerunt et tunicas byssinas opere textili Aaron et filiis ejus :

26 et mitras cum coronulis suis ex bysso :

27 feminalia quoque linea, byssina :

28 cingulum vero de bysso retorta, hyacintho, purpura, ac vermiculo bis tincto, arte plumaria, sicut præceperat Dominus Moysi.

29 Fecerunt et laminam sacræ venerationis de auro purissimo, scripseruntque in ea opere gemmario, Sanctum Domini :

30 et strinxerunt eam cum mitra vitta hyacinthina, sicut præceperat Dominus Moysi.

31 Perfectum est igitur omne opus tabernaculi et tecti testimonii : feceruntque filii Israël cuncta quæ præceperat Dominus Moysi.

32 Et obtulerunt tabernaculum et tectum et universam supellectilem, annulos, tabulas, vectes, columnas ac bases,

33 opertorium de pellibus arietum rubricatis, et aliud operimentum de janthinis pellibus,

34 velum ; arcam, vectes, propitiatorium,

35 mensam cum vasis suis et propositionis panibus ;

36 candelabrum, lucernas, et utensilia earum cum oleo ;

37 altare aureum, et unguentum, et thymiama ex aromatibus,

38 et tentorium in introitu tabernaculi ;

39 altare æneum, retiaculum, vectes, et vasa ejus omnia ; labrum cum basi sua ; tentoria atrii, et columnas cum basibus suis ;

40 tentorium in introitu atrii, funiculosque illius et paxillos. Nihil ex vasis defuit, quæ in ministerium tabernaculi, et in tectum fœderis jussa sunt fieri.

41 Vestes quoque, quibus sacerdotes utuntur in sanctuario, Aaron scilicet et filii ejus,

42 obtulerunt filii Israël, sicut præceperat Dominus.

43 Quæ postquam Moyses cuncta vidit completa, benedixit eis.

Apocalypse Explained # 1186

1186. And no craftsman of whatsoever craft shall be found in thee any more, signifies no more wisdom, intelligence, or knowledge. This is evident from the signification of "craftsman of whatsoever craft," as being everything belonging to the understanding, consequently wisdom, intelligence, and knowledge, for these belong to the understanding, the inmost of which is wisdom, the middle intelligence, and the lowest is knowledge. This is the signification of "craftsman of whatsoever craft," because these are endowments of the understanding, and its endowments are signified by "crafts." As these are signified by "crafts," so in the Word where the construction of the tabernacle is treated of, also the garments of Aaron, which were of gold, blue, purple, scarlet double-dyed, and fine twined linen, it is said that they were to be the work of the "craftsman," elsewhere "a work of a contriver" (Exodus 26:1, 31; 28:6; 39:8; and elsewhere). The things of which these were made, and which are here mentioned, signify things of wisdom, intelligence, and knowledge; therefore of Bezaleel and Oholiab, who were the craftsmen, and who made these things, it is said:

They were filled with wisdom, intelligence, and knowledge (Exodus 31:3; 36:1-2).

[2] That "craftsman" signifies intelligence from what is one's own [proprium] is evident in Hosea:

They make them a molten image of their silver, and idols in their intelligence, all of it the work of the craftsmen (Hosea 13:2).

"Molten image" and "idol" signify worship according to doctrine that is from self-intelligence; "silver" signifies the falsity from which such doctrine comes; therefore it is said "that in their intelligence they make them an idol, all of it the work of craftsmen." So in Isaiah:

The craftsman melteth a graven image, and the goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold, and casteth chains of silver; he seeketh a wise craftsman (Isaiah 40:19-20).

And in Jeremiah:

Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the craftsman and of the hands of the founder, hyacinthine and garments, all of it the work of the wise (Jeremiah 10:3, 9).

Here and in many passages elsewhere self-intelligence is described by "idols," and "sculptured and molten images" (See n. 587, 827).

(Continuation)

[3] End, mediate causes, and effect, are called also the chief end, intermediate ends, and the final end. Intermediate and final ends are called ends, because the chief end produces them, is everything in them, is their esse and is their soul. The chief end is the will's love in man, the intermediate ends are subordinate loves, and the final end is the love of the will existing as it were in its effigy. As the chief end is the love of the will it follows that intermediate ends, being subordinate loves, are foreseen, provided, and produced through the understanding, and that the final end is the use foreseen, provided, and produced by the love of the will through the understanding, for everything that love produces is a use. This must be premised in order that what has just been said may be perceived, namely, that eminence and riches may be blessings or that they may be curses.
