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

3104. 'Half a shekel in weight' means the amount needed for the introduction. This is clear from the meaning of 'a shekel', 'half a shekel', and 'weight'. 'A shekel' means the price or valuation of good and truth, and 'half a shekel' a defined amount of it, see 2959. 'Weight' means the state of something as regards good, as will be seen [below]. From these considerations it is evident that 'half a shekel in weight' means and embodies the amount as regards the good which 'a gold nose-jewel' is used to mean - that amount being the quantity of it that was needed for the introduction, as is plain from what comes before and after this point in the story.

[2] That 'weight' is the state of something as regards good is evident from the following places in the Word:

In Ezekiel where the prophet was told to eat food each day twenty shekels in weight, and to drink water in measure the sixth of a hin,

For, behold, I am breaking the staff of bread in Jerusalem, so that they may eat bread by weight and with anxiety, and drink water by measure and with dismay; that they may be in want of bread and water. Ezekiel 4:10-11, 16-17.

This refers to the vastation of good and truth, which is represented by 'the prophet'. A state of good when vastated is meant by their having to eat food and bread 'by weight', and a state of truth when vastated by their having to drink water 'by measure' - 'bread' meaning that which is celestial, and so good, see 276, 680, 2165, 2177, and 'water' that which is spiritual, and so truth, 739, 2702, 3058. From this it is evident that 'weight' is used in reference to good, and 'measure' to truth.

[3] In the same prophet,

You shall have just balances, and a just ephah, and a just bath. Ezekiel 45:10 and following verses.

This refers to the holy land, by which the Lord's kingdom in heaven is meant, as may be recognized from every detail at this point in this prophet, where what are required are not balances, an ephah, and a bath that are just but the goods and truths meant by those weights and measures.

In Isaiah,

Who has measured the waters in the hollow of His hand and weighed the heavens in [His] palm, and gathered the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in a balance, and the hills in the scales? Isaiah 40:12.

'Weighing the mountains in a balance and the hills in the scares' stands for the truth that the Lord is the source of the heavenly things of love and charity, and that He alone orders the states of these things. For 'the mountains' and 'the hills' referred to in connection with those weights mean the heavenly things of love, see 795, 796, 1430, 2722.

[4] In Daniel,

The writing on the wall of Belshazzar's palace was, Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin. This is the interpretation: Mene, God has numbered your kingdom and brought it to an end; Tekel, you have been weighed in the scales and have been found wanting; Peres, your kingdom has been divided and given to the Medes and Persians. Daniel 5:25-28.

Here 'mene' or 'He has numbered' has reference to truth, but 'tekel' or 'weighed in the scales' to good. Described in the internal sense is the time when the age is drawing to a close.
