1 καὶ ἐν τῷ καταμετρεῖσθαι ὑμᾶς τὴν γῆν ἐν κληρονομίᾳ ἀφοριεῖτε ἀπαρχὴν τῷ κυρίῳ ἅγιον ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς πέντε καὶ εἴκοσι χιλιάδας μῆκος καὶ εὖρος εἴκοσι χιλιάδας ἅγιον ἔσται ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς ὁρίοις αὐτοῦ κυκλόθεν

2 καὶ ἔσται ἐκ τούτου εἰς ἁγίασμα πεντακόσιοι ἐπὶ πεντακοσίους τετράγωνον κυκλόθεν καὶ πήχεις πεντήκοντα διάστημα αὐτῷ κυκλόθεν

3 καὶ ἐκ ταύτης τῆς διαμετρήσεως διαμετρήσεις μῆκος πέντε καὶ εἴκοσι χιλιάδας καὶ εὖρος δέκα χιλιάδας καὶ ἐν αὐτῇ ἔσται τὸ ἁγίασμα ἅγια τῶν ἁγίων

4 ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς ἔσται τοῖς ἱερεῦσιν τοῖς λειτουργοῦσιν ἐν τῷ ἁγίῳ καὶ ἔσται τοῖς ἐγγίζουσι λειτουργεῖν τῷ κυρίῳ καὶ ἔσται αὐτοῖς τόπος εἰς οἴκους ἀφωρισμένους τῷ ἁγιασμῷ αὐτῶν

5 εἴκοσι καὶ πέντε χιλιάδες μῆκος καὶ εὖρος δέκα χιλιάδες ἔσται τοῖς λευίταις τοῖς λειτουργοῦσιν τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῖς εἰς κατάσχεσιν πόλεις τοῦ κατοικεῖν

6 καὶ τὴν κατάσχεσιν τῆς πόλεως δώσεις πέντε χιλιάδας εὖρος καὶ μῆκος πέντε καὶ εἴκοσι χιλιάδας ὃν τρόπον ἡ ἀπαρχὴ τῶν ἁγίων παντὶ οἴκῳ ισραηλ ἔσονται

7 καὶ τῷ ἡγουμένῳ ἐκ τούτου καὶ ἀπὸ τούτου εἰς τὰς ἀπαρχὰς τῶν ἁγίων εἰς κατάσχεσιν τῆς πόλεως κατὰ πρόσωπον τῶν ἀπαρχῶν τῶν ἁγίων καὶ κατὰ πρόσωπον τῆς κατασχέσεως τῆς πόλεως τὰ πρὸς θάλασσαν καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν πρὸς θάλασσαν πρὸς ἀνατολάς καὶ τὸ μῆκος ὡς μία τῶν μερίδων ἀπὸ τῶν ὁρίων τῶν πρὸς θάλασσαν καὶ τὸ μῆκος ἐπὶ τὰ ὅρια τὰ πρὸς ἀνατολὰς τῆς γῆς

8 καὶ ἔσται αὐτῷ εἰς κατάσχεσιν ἐν τῷ ισραηλ καὶ οὐ καταδυναστεύσουσιν οὐκέτι οἱ ἀφηγούμενοι τοῦ ισραηλ τὸν λαόν μου καὶ τὴν γῆν κατακληρονομήσουσιν οἶκος ισραηλ κατὰ φυλὰς αὐτῶν

9 τάδε λέγει κύριος θεός ἱκανούσθω ὑμῖν οἱ ἀφηγούμενοι τοῦ ισραηλ ἀδικίαν καὶ ταλαιπωρίαν ἀφέλεσθε καὶ κρίμα καὶ δικαιοσύνην ποιήσατε ἐξάρατε καταδυναστείαν ἀπὸ τοῦ λαοῦ μου λέγει κύριος θεός

10 ζυγὸς δίκαιος καὶ μέτρον δίκαιον καὶ χοῖνιξ δικαία ἔστω ὑμῖν

11 τὸ μέτρον καὶ ἡ χοῖνιξ ὁμοίως μία ἔσται τοῦ λαμβάνειν τὸ δέκατον τοῦ γομορ ἡ χοῖνιξ καὶ τὸ δέκατον τοῦ γομορ τὸ μέτρον πρὸς τὸ γομορ ἔσται ἴσον

12 καὶ τὸ στάθμιον εἴκοσι ὀβολοί οἱ πέντε σίκλοι πέντε καὶ οἱ δέκα σίκλοι δέκα καὶ πεντήκοντα σίκλοι ἡ μνᾶ ἔσται ὑμῖν

13 καὶ αὕτη ἡ ἀπαρχή ἣν ἀφοριεῖτε ἕκτον τοῦ μέτρου ἀπὸ τοῦ γομορ τοῦ πυροῦ καὶ τὸ ἕκτον τοῦ οιφι ἀπὸ τοῦ κόρου τῶν κριθῶν

14 καὶ τὸ πρόσταγμα τοῦ ἐλαίου κοτύλην ἐλαίου ἀπὸ δέκα κοτυλῶν ὅτι αἱ δέκα κοτύλαι εἰσὶν γομορ

15 καὶ πρόβατον ἀπὸ τῶν δέκα προβάτων ἀφαίρεμα ἐκ πασῶν τῶν πατριῶν τοῦ ισραηλ εἰς θυσίας καὶ εἰς ὁλοκαυτώματα καὶ εἰς σωτηρίου τοῦ ἐξιλάσκεσθαι περὶ ὑμῶν λέγει κύριος θεός

16 καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς δώσει τὴν ἀπαρχὴν ταύτην τῷ ἀφηγουμένῳ τοῦ ισραηλ

17 καὶ διὰ τοῦ ἀφηγουμένου ἔσται τὰ ὁλοκαυτώματα καὶ αἱ θυσίαι καὶ αἱ σπονδαὶ ἔσονται ἐν ταῖς ἑορταῖς καὶ ἐν ταῖς νουμηνίαις καὶ ἐν τοῖς σαββάτοις καὶ ἐν πάσαις ταῖς ἑορταῖς οἴκου ισραηλ αὐτὸς ποιήσει τὰ ὑπὲρ ἁμαρτίας καὶ τὴν θυσίαν καὶ τὰ ὁλοκαυτώματα καὶ τὰ τοῦ σωτηρίου τοῦ ἐξιλάσκεσθαι ὑπὲρ τοῦ οἴκου ισραηλ

18 τάδε λέγει κύριος θεός ἐν τῷ πρώτῳ μηνὶ μιᾷ τοῦ μηνὸς λήμψεσθε μόσχον ἐκ βοῶν ἄμωμον τοῦ ἐξιλάσασθαι τὸ ἅγιον

19 καὶ λήμψεται ὁ ἱερεὺς ἀπὸ τοῦ αἵματος τοῦ ἐξιλασμοῦ καὶ δώσει ἐπὶ τὰς φλιὰς τοῦ οἴκου καὶ ἐπὶ τὰς τέσσαρας γωνίας τοῦ ἱεροῦ καὶ ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον καὶ ἐπὶ τὰς φλιὰς τῆς πύλης τῆς αὐλῆς τῆς ἐσωτέρας

20 καὶ οὕτως ποιήσεις ἐν τῷ ἑβδόμῳ μηνὶ μιᾷ τοῦ μηνὸς λήμψῃ παρ' ἑκάστου ἀπόμοιραν καὶ ἐξιλάσεσθε τὸν οἶκον

21 καὶ ἐν τῷ πρώτῳ μηνὶ τεσσαρεσκαιδεκάτῃ τοῦ μηνὸς ἔσται ὑμῖν τὸ πασχα ἑορτή ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας ἄζυμα ἔδεσθε

22 καὶ ποιήσει ὁ ἀφηγούμενος ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ὑπὲρ αὑτοῦ καὶ τοῦ οἴκου καὶ ὑπὲρ παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ τῆς γῆς μόσχον ὑπὲρ ἁμαρτίας

23 καὶ τὰς ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας τῆς ἑορτῆς ποιήσει ὁλοκαυτώματα τῷ κυρίῳ ἑπτὰ μόσχους καὶ ἑπτὰ κριοὺς ἀμώμους καθ' ἡμέραν τὰς ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας καὶ ὑπὲρ ἁμαρτίας ἔριφον αἰγῶν καθ' ἡμέραν

24 καὶ θυσίαν πέμμα τῷ μόσχῳ καὶ πέμμα τῷ κριῷ ποιήσεις καὶ ἐλαίου τὸ ιν τῷ πέμματι

25 καὶ ἐν τῷ ἑβδόμῳ μηνὶ πεντεκαιδεκάτῃ τοῦ μηνὸς ἐν τῇ ἑορτῇ ποιήσεις κατὰ τὰ αὐτὰ ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας καθὼς τὰ ὑπὲρ τῆς ἁμαρτίας καὶ καθὼς τὰ ὁλοκαυτώματα καὶ καθὼς τὸ μαναα καὶ καθὼς τὸ ἔλαιον

10253. 'Five hundred [shekels]' means what is complete. This is clear from the meaning of the number 'five hundred' as what is complete. The reason why 'five hundred' has this meaning is that this number is the product of five multiplied by ten tens, or fives times a hundred; and 'five' means much, as do 'ten' and 'a hundred', and therefore 'five hundred' means what is complete.

'Five' means much, see 5708, 5956, 9102, as likewise does 'ten', 3107, 4638, and also 'a hundred', 4400, 6582, 6594.

All numbers in the Word mean spiritual realities, see in the places referred to in 9488.

Compound numbers have a similar meaning to the simple ones that give rise to them through multiplication, 5291, 5335, 5708, 7973.

[2] The fact that numbers mean spiritual realities is perfectly clear in Ezekiel, where the house of God, together with everything there inside and outside, and also the new earth or land, are measured and are described by numbers pertaining to measure, in Chapters 40-48. By the new land there the Church should be understood, and by the house of God its holiness. The same is so in John, in the Book of Revelation, where also a new Jerusalem is described by the numbers where measurements are given, by which too a new Church should be understood. Unless the numbers had meant spiritual realities all those measurements would have been pointless.

[3] 'Five hundred' means the whole from one end to the other, thus what is complete. This is clear from those chapters in Ezekiel,

He measured outside the house (or the temple), to the east quarter five hundred rods round about, to the north quarter five hundred rods round about, to the south quarter five hundred rods, and to the west quarter 1 five hundred rods. Its wall round about, the length was five hundred rods, and the breadth five hundred rods, to distinguish between the holy and the profane. Ezekiel 42:15-20.

From these words it is evident that 'five hundred' means the whole in its entirety, or everything holy from one end to the other, thus what is complete; for it says that the wall, which - according to this account of its length and breadth - formed a square, served to distinguish the holy from the profane.

[4] 'Five hundred' also means much, while a tenth of that number or fifty means some. This is clear from the Lord's words addressed to Simon, in Luke,

Jesus said, There were two debtors who had a certain creditor. One owed five hundred denarii, but the other fifty. When they did not have [anything with which] to repay, he forgave them both. Which of the two loves him more? Simon answered, The one to whom he forgave more. Jesus said, So have the many sins of the woman been forgiven, because she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, [that person] loves little. Luke 7:41-end.

The reason why the Lord used those numbers was that they meant much and some; for He spoke from a Divine [perspective], thus used words carrying a spiritual meaning, in accord with correspondences. The same is so everywhere else, as when He spoke about the virgins, of whom - He said - there were ten, and that five were wise and five were foolish. He spoke of ten because that number means all, that is to say, all who belong to the Church, and of five because this number means some, see 4637, 4638.
