1 Вотъ благословеніе, которымъ Моисей, человјкъ Божій, благословилъ сыновъ Израилевыхъ предъ смертію своею.

2 Онъ сказалъ: Господь пришелъ отъ Синая, возсіялъ для нихъ отъ Сеира, возблисталъ отъ горы Фарана, и шелъ изъ среды темъ святыхъ, одесную Его огнь закона для нихъ.

3 Онъ любитъ также народы; Всј святые его въ рукј Твоей; И шли они въ слјдъ ногъ Твоихъ, получили долю изъ словъ Твоихъ.

4 Законъ далъ намъ Моисей, наслјдіе обществу Іаковлеву.

5 Онъ царь Израиля, когда собираются главы народа, вкупј колјна Изранлевы.

6 Да живетъ Рувимъ и да не умретъ, когда будугь люди его малочисленны.

7 Но Іудј сказалъ сіе: Услыши, Господи, гласъ Іуды, и приведи его къ народу его, руками Своими: Да защититъ Онъ его, и будь помощпикомъ противъ враговъ его.

8 И о Левіи сказалъ: Туммимъ Твой и уримъ Твой на святомъ мужј Твоемъ, котораго Ты искусилъ въ Массј, съ которымъ Ты препирался при водахъ Меривы,

9 Который говоритъ объ отцј своемъ и о матери своей: на нихъ не смотрю, и братьевъ своихъ чуждается, и сыновей своихъ не знаетъ. Ибо они слова Твои хранятъ, и завјтъ Твой соблюдаютъ.

10 Учатъ законамъ Твоимъ Іакова, и заповјдямъ Твоимъ Израиля, возлагаютъ куреніе предъ лице Твое, и всесожженія на жертвенникъ Твой.

11 Благослови, Господи, силу его, и о дјлј рукъ его благоволи, порази чресла возстающихъ на него и ненавидящихъ его, чтобъ они не могли стоятъ.

12 О Веніаминј сказалъ: Возлюбленный Господомъ обитаетъ у него безопасно; Богъ покровительствуетъ ему всякой день, и обитаетъ между раменами Его.

13 О Іосифј сказалъ: Благословенна Господомъ земля его, драгоцјнными дарами неба, росою, и дарами бездны, лежащей внизу,

14 Драгоцјнными плодами солнца, и драгоцјнными произведеніями мјсяцевъ;

15 Превосходнјйшими произведеніими горъ древнихъ, и драгоцјнностями холмовъ вјчныхъ,

16 И драгоцјнностями земли, и того, что наполняетъ ее. Благословеніе Явившагося въ терновомъ кустј да пріидетъ на главу Іосифа и на темя наилучшаго изъ братьевъ своихъ,

17 Крјпость его какъ первороднаго тельца, и роги его, какъ роги буйвола; Ими избодетъ онъ народы всј до предјловъ земли: Это тмы Ефремовы, это тысячи Манассіины.

18 О Завулонј сказалъ: Веселись Завулонъ, въ путяхъ твоихъ, и Иссахаръ, въ шатрахъ твоихъ.

19 Созываютъ они людей на гору, тамъ закалаютъ законныя жертвы: Ибо они питаются богатствомъ моря и сокровищами, сокрытыми въ пескј.

20 О Гадј сказалъ: Благословенъ распространившій Гада, онъ покоитоя какъ левъ, и терзаетъ и руки и голову.

21 І Онъ избралъ себј первую частъ, тамъ почтенъ удјломъ отъ законодателя. Но пошелъ вмјстј съ главами народа, и исполнилъ правду Господа, и суды съ Израилемъ.

22 О Данј сказалъ: Данъ молодой левъ, который выбјгаетъ изъ Васана.

23 О Нефѕалимј сказалъ: Нефѕалимъ насыщенъ благоволеніемъ и исполненъ благословенія Господня; Море и югъ во владјніи его.

24 О Асирј сказалъ: Благословенъ между сынами Асиръ; Онъ будетъ любимъ братьями своими, и окунетъ въ елей ногу свою.

25 Желјзо и мјдь запоры твои; Какъ умножаться будутъ дни твои, такъ и богатство твое.

26 Нјть подобнаго Богу Израилеву, Который по небесамъ принесся на помощь тебе, во славј Своей на облакахъ.

27 Убјжище твое Богь древній, и ты подъ мышцами вјчными. Онъ прогонитъ враговъ отъ лща твоего, и говоритъ: истребляй!

28 Израиль живетъ безопасно одинъ, око Іакова видитъ предъ собою землю обильную хлјбомъ и виномъ, и небеса его каплютъ росу.

29 Благо тебј, Израиль! кто подобенъ тебј? Народъ, спасаемый Господомъ, Который есть щитъ помощи твоей, и мечь славы твоей? Враги твои раболјпствуютъ тебј, и ты попираешь высоты ихъ.

585. And against His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. This symbolizes scandalous assertions against the Lord's celestial church and against heaven.

The Tabernacle has almost the same symbolic meaning as the Temple, namely, in the highest sense, the Lord's Divine humanity, and in a relative sense, heaven and the church (nos. 191, 529). But in the latter sense the Tabernacle symbolizes the celestial church, which is impelled by the goodness of love toward the Lord received from the Lord; and the Temple symbolizes the spiritual church, which is impelled by truths of wisdom received from the Lord. Those who dwell in heaven symbolize heaven.

The Tabernacle symbolizes the celestial church because the Most Ancient Church, being impelled by love toward the Lord, was a celestial church and held sacred worship in tents. And the Ancient Church was a spiritual church and held sacred worship in temples.

Tents used wood in their construction, while temples used stone, and wood symbolizes goodness, and stone truth.

[2] That the Tabernacle symbolizes the Lord's Divine humanity in respect to Divine love, and a heaven and a church that is impelled by love toward the Lord, can be seen from the following passages:

Jehovah, who may abide in Your tabernacle? Who may dwell in Your holy mountain? He who walks uprightly, and practices righteousness, and speaks the truth... (Psalms 15:1-2)

(Jehovah) shall hide me in His tabernacle; in the secret place of His tabernacle He shall conceal me; He shall set me high... (Psalms 27:4-5)

I will abide in Your tabernacle forever. (Psalms 61:4)

Look upon Zion...; let your eyes behold Jerusalem, a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that will not be dispelled... (Isaiah 33:20)

(Jehovah) who... spreads (the heavens) out like a tent to dwell in. (Isaiah 40:22)

...you have made Jehovah..., the Most High, your dwelling place..., no plague shall come near your tent. (Psalms 91:9-10)

(Jehovah) set (His) tabernacle among (them).... (He) will walk among (them).... (Leviticus 26:11-12)

(Jehovah) forsook the tent of Shiloh, the tabernacle in which He dwelled among men. (Psalms 78:60)

I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them...." (Revelation 21:3)

...My tabernacle has been laid waste... (Jeremiah 4:20; 10:20)

He shall... pluck you out of your tent, and uproot you from the land of the living. (Psalms 52:5)

And so on elsewhere, as in Isaiah 16:5; 54:2, Jeremiah 30:18, Lamentations 2:4, Hosea 9:6; 12:9, Zechariah 12:7.

[3] Since the Most Ancient Church, which was a celestial church, being impelled by love toward the Lord and being thus in conjunction with Him, held sacred worship in tents, therefore by the Lord's command Moses erected a tent or tabernacle, in which everything relating to heaven and the church was represented. And it was so holy that no one was permitted to enter except Moses, Aaron, and Aaron's sons; and if any of the people were to do so, they would die (Numbers 17:12-13; 18:1, 22-23; 19:14-19).

Inmostly in that tabernacle, containing the two tables of the Decalogue, was the Ark, on which was the mercy seat and over it the cherubim. And outside the veil was the table holding the showbread, the altar of incense, and the lampstand having seven lamps. All of these things were representative objects relating to heaven and the church. The tabernacle itself is described in Exodus 26:7-16; 36:8-37.

We also read that the design of the Tabernacle was shown to Moses upon Mount Sinai (Exodus 25:9; 26:30); and whatever he was given to see from heaven is a representation relating to heaven and the church.

In memory of the most ancient people's sacred worship of the Lord in tents, and of their conjunction with Him through love, Israel was commanded to observe the Feast of Tabernacles, as recorded in Leviticus 23:39-44, Deuteronomy 16:13-14.
