1 “Padarysi palapinei dešimt uždangalų iš suktų plonų siūlų drobės su mėlynų, violetinių bei raudonų siūlų su išsiuvinėtais cherubais.

2 Vieno uždangalo ilgis bus dvidešimt aštuonios uolektys, plotis­keturios. Visi uždangalai vienodo dydžio.

3 Penkis uždangalus susegsi vieną su kitu, kitus penkis taip pat susegsi vieną su kitu.

4 Padarysi mėlynos spalvos kilpas prie abiejų uždangalų šonų.

5 Penkiasdešimt kilpų įtaisysi viename uždangale ir Penkiasdešimt kitame taip, kad iš abiejų šonų kilpos būtų viena prieš kitą ir jas būtų galima sukabinti vieną su kita.

6 Padarysi taip pat penkiasdešimt auksinių kabių, kuriomis abiejų uždangalų šonus sukabinsi, kad būtų viena palapinė.

7 Padarysi iš ožkų vilnos vienuolika uždangalų palapinei apdengti iš viršaus.

8 Uždangalo ilgis bus trisdešimt uolekčių, plotis keturios uolektys. Visi uždangalai vienodo dydžio.

9 Penkis iš jų sujungsi atskirai ir kitus šešis taip pat. Šeštąjį uždangalą sudėsi dvilinką ant palapinės priekio.

10 Padarysi penkiasdešimt kilpų prie vieno uždangalo šono ir penkiasdešimt kilpų prie kito uždangalo šono, kad galėtum juos sukabinti.

11 Padarysi penkiasdešimt varinių kabių, kuriomis bus sukabinamos kilpos, kad pasidarytų vienas uždangalas.

12 Atliekančia nuo stogo uždengimo dalimi, tai yra vieno uždangalo likusia puse, pridengsi palapinės galą.

13 Tai, kas liks nuo palapinės uždengimo, po uolektį uždangalo iš abiejų pusių, tedengia palapinės šonus.

14 Palapinei pridengti padirbsi dar vieną uždangalą iš raudonai dažytų avinų kailių ir virš tos­iš mėlynai dažytų opšrų kailių.

15 Padirbdinsi palapinei lentų iš akacijos medžio, kurias reikės pastatyti stačias.

16 Kiekvienos iš jų ilgis bus dešimt uolekčių, o plotis­pusantros uolekties.

17 Lentos turi turėti šonuose po du išsikišimus, kuriais viena su kita bus sukabinamos; taip padarysi visas lentas.

18 Dvidešimt lentų padarysi palapinės pietiniam šonui.

19 Nuliesi keturiasdešimt sidabrinių pakojų dvidešimčiai lentų, kad po kiekvienos lentos kampu būtų pakištas pakojis.

20 Taip pat kitam palapinės šonui, kuris atgręžtas į šiaurę, padarysi dvidešimt lentų

21 ir keturiasdešimt sidabrinių pakojų padėti po du kiekvienos lentos apačioje.

22 O palapinės šonui, atgręžtam į vakarus, padirbdinsi šešias lentas

23 ir dvi lentas padarysi palapinės kampams iš abiejų pusių.

24 Jos turi būti sujungtos apačioje ir viršuje, kad sudarytų vieną sunėrimą. Taip padarysi abiejuose kampuose.

25 Iš viso bus aštuonios lentos, o jų sidabrinių pakojų­šešiolika, po du pakojus kiekvienai lentai.

26 Iš akacijos medžio padirbsi užkaiščius. Penkis vienos palapinės pusės lentoms

27 ir penkis kitos palapinės pusės lentoms, taip pat penkis palapinės galui vakarų pusėje.

28 Padarysi vidinį užkaištį, kad eitų per lentas nuo vieno galo iki kito.

29 Pačias lentas aptrauksi auksu; nuliesi auksines grandis užkaiščiams ir užkaiščius aptrauksi auksu.

30 Pastatysi palapinę pagal pavyzdį, kuris tau buvo parodytas kalne.

31 Padarysi uždangą iš mėlynų, raudonų ir violetinių siūlų ir plonos suktų siūlų drobės ir ant jos išsiuvinėsi cherubus.

32 Ją pakabinsi ant keturių akacijos medžio stulpų, aptrauktų auksu, jiems padirbdinsi auksinius kablius bei sidabrinius pakojus.

33 Uždangą prikabinsi kabėmis. Už uždangos pastatysi Liudijimo skrynią. Ta uždanga skirs šventąją dalį nuo Švenčiausiosios.

34 Uždėsi dangtį ant Liudijimo skrynios Švenčiausiojoje.

35 Stalą pastatysi šiapus uždangos, o žvakidę­priešais stalą pietiniame palapinės šone.

36 Padirbdinsi palapinės įėjimui užuolaidą iš mėlynų, violetinių ir raudonų siūlų ir plonos suktų siūlų drobės, visą išsiuvinėtą.

37 Aptrauksi auksu penkis akacijos medžio stulpus, ant kurių bus kabinama užuolaida; stulpų kabliai bus auksiniai, o pakojai­variniai”.

3540. And the skins of the kids of the she-goats she caused to be put. That this signifies the external truths of domestic good, is evident from the signification of “skins,” as being external things (concerning which below); and from the signification of the “kids of the she-goats,” because from a home flock, as being the truths of domestic good (concerning which n. 3518, 3519, where also it appears what domestic good is, and what the truths thence derived). Every good has its own truths, and every truth has its own good, which must be conjoined together in order for them to be anything. That “skins” signify things external is because skins are the outermosts of the animal in which its interiors are terminated, in like manner as is the case with the skin or cuticles in man. This signification is derived from the representation in the other life, there being those there who belong to the province of the skin, concerning whom of the Lord’s Divine mercy something will be said when we speak concerning the Grand Man at the end of the following chapters. They are such as are only in external good and its truths. Hence the “skin” of man, and also of beasts, signifies what is external; which is also manifest from the Word, as in Jeremiah:

For the multitude of thine iniquity are thy skirts uncovered, and thy heels suffer violence. Can the Ethiopian change his skin, and the leopard his spots? Then can ye also do good that are taught to do evil (Jeremiah 13:22-23); where “skirts” are external truths; “heels,” outermost goods (that the “heel,” and “shoes,” are the lowest natural things may be seen above, n. 259, 1748); and because these truths and goods are from evil, as here said, they are compared to an “Ethiopian,” or a black, and his “skin,” and also to a “leopard” and his “spots.”

[2] In Moses:

If in pledging thou shalt have pledged thy neighbor’s garment, thou shalt restore it unto Him before the sun goes down; for that is his only covering; it is his garment for his skin wherein he shall lie down (Exodus 22:26-27).

As all the laws in the Word, even those which are civic and forensic, have a correspondence with the laws of good and truth in heaven, and were thence enacted, such is the case with this law also; otherwise it would be impossible to discover why a pledged garment should be restored before the sun went down; and why it is said that his garment is for his skin wherein he shall lie down. But from the internal sense the correspondence is manifest, being that our companions are not to be defrauded of external truths, which are the doctrinal things according to which they live, and rituals (that a “garment” signifies such truths, may be seen above, n. 297, 1073, 2576); but the “sun” is the good of love or of life which is therefrom (n. 1529, 1530, 2441, 2495); that this should not perish, is signified by the garment being restored before the sun went down; and because these external truths are the externals of the interior things, or their termination, it is said that “his garment is for his skin wherein he shall lie down.”

[3] As “skins” signified external things, it was commanded that the covering of the Tent should be of the skins of red rams, and over these the skins of badgers (Exodus 26:14); for the Tent was representative of the three heavens, thus of the celestial and spiritual things of the Lord’s kingdom. The curtains which were round about represented natural things that are external (n. 3478), which are the “skins of rams and of badgers,” and as external things are those which cover internal ones, or in other words natural things are those which cover spiritual and celestial ones, just as the body covers its soul, therefore this was commanded; and in like manner that when the camp set forward Aaron and his sons should cover the ark of the testimony with the veil of covering, and should put over this covering the skin of a badger; and that upon the table and the things which were upon it they should spread a cloth of scarlet double-dyed, and should cover it with badger’s skin as a covering; likewise that they should put the lampstand and all its vessels under a covering of badger’s skin; and should put all the vessels wherewith they ministered under a cloth of blue, and should cover them with a covering of badger’s skin (Numbers 4:5-12). Whoever thinks of the Word holily may know that Divine things are represented by all these things: by the ark, the table, the lampstand, and the vessels wherewith they ministered; also by the coverings of scarlet double-dyed and blue; and also by the coverings of badgers’ skins; and that by all these things are represented the Divine things that are within the external ones.

[4] Inasmuch as the prophets represented those who teach, and hence the teaching of good and truth from the Word (n. 2534), and Elijah the Word itself (n. 2762), in like manner John, who for this reason is called the Elias that was to come (Matthew 17:10-13); therefore in order that they might represent the Word as it is in its external form, that is, in the letter, Elijah was girded with a girdle of skin about his loins (2 Kings 1:8); and John had his raiment of camel’s hair, and a girdle of skin about his loins (Matthew 3:4). And inasmuch as the skin of man and beast signified external things, which are natural things in their relation to spiritual and celestial ones; and as in the Ancient Church it was customary to speak and write by significatives, therefore also in Job, which is a book of the Ancient Church, “skin” has the same signification, as may be seen from several passages in that book, and also from this:

I know my Redeemer, He liveth, and at the last He will arise above the dust, and afterward these shall be encompassed with my skin, and from my flesh I shall see God (Job 19:25-26).

To be “encompassed with skin” denotes by the natural, such as man has with him after death (see n. 3539); “from the flesh to see God” is to do so from what is our own, vivified (that this is “flesh” may be seen above, n. 148, 149, 780). That the book of Job is a book of the Ancient Church is evident as before said from its representative and significative style; but it is not of those books which are called the Law and the Prophets, because it has not an internal sense which treats solely of the Lord and of His kingdom; for this is the one thing that makes a book of the genuine Word.
