Studie

   

1 Тогда Іегова говорилъ къ Моисею, и сказалъ:

2 скажи сынамъ Израилевымъ, чтобы они сдјлали Мнј приношенія, принимайте приношеніе Мнј отъ всякаго человјка, которому то придетъ на сердце.

3 Приношенія, которыя вы должны принимать отъ нихъ, суть сіи: золото, и серебро, и мјдь,

4 и пряжа яхонтоваго, и пурпуронаго и червленаго цвјта, и виссонъ, и козья шерсть,

5 и кожи бараньи красныя, и кожи синія, и дерева акаціи,

6 елей для свјтильника, ароматы для елея помазанія, и для благовоннаго куренія,

7 камень ониксъ и камни вставные для ефода и для наперсника.

8 И устройте Мнј святилище, и буду обитать посреди васъ.

9 Все, какъ Я покажу тебј, и образъ скиніи, и образъ всјхъ сосудовъ ея, такъ сдјлайте.

10 И сдјлаютъ ковчегъ изъ дерева акаціи; длина ему два локтя съ половиною, и ширина ему полтора локтя, и высота ему полтора локтя.

11 И покрой его чистымъ золотомъ, изнутри и снаружи покрой его; и сдјлай наверху вокругъ его золотой вјнецъ.

12 И вылей для него четыре кольца золотыхъ, и утверди на четырехъ углахъ его: два кольца на одной сторонј его, и два кольца на другой сторонј его.

13 И сдјлай изъ дерева акаціи шесты, и обложи ихъ золотомъ.

14 И вложи сіи шесты въ кольца, по сторонамъ ковчега, чтобы посредствомъ оныхъ носить ковчегъ.

15 Въ кольцахъ ковчега должны быть шесты и не отниматься отъ него,

16 И положи въ ковчегъ откровеніе, которое Я дамъ тебј.

17 Сдјлай также очистилище, покровъ изъ чистаго золота, длина его два локтя съ половиною, а ширина его полтора локтя.

18 Еще сдјлай изъ золота двухъ херувимовъ; чеканной работы сдјлай ихъ на обоихъ крыльяхъ покрова.

19 Сдјлай одного херувима съ одного края, а другаго херувима съ другаго края; выдавшихся изъ очистилища сдјлайте херувимовъ на обоихъ краяхъ его.

20 И херувимы пусть будутъ съ крыльями распростертыми вверхъ, и покрываютъ своими крыльями очистилище; и пусть будутъ лицами своими одинъ къ другому, къ очистилищу пусть будутъ лицами херувимы.

21 И положи покровъ очистилища на ковчегъ сверху: въ ковчегъ же положи откровеніе, которое Я дамъ тебј.

22 Тамъ Я буду тебј открываться и говорить съ тобою съ верху очистилища, посреди двухъ херувимовъ, которые надъ ковчегомъ откровенія, о всемъ, что ни буду заповјдывать чрезъ тебя сынамъ Израилевымъ.

23 Еще сдјлай столъ изъ дерева акаціи, длиною въ два локтя, шириною въ локоть, а вышиною въ полтора локтя.

24 И обложи его золотомъ чистымъ, и сдјлай вокругъ его золотой вјнецъ.

25 Сдјлай вокругъ его обложеніе въ ладонь, и для обложенія его сдјлай золотой вјнецъ вокругъ.

26 И сдјлай для него четыре кольца золотыхъ, и утверди кольца сіи на четырехъ углахъ у четырехъ ножекъ его.

27 Подлј обложенія должны быть кольца, чтобы влагать шесты, чтобы носить на нихъ столъ.

28 А шесты сіи сдјлай изъ дерева акаціи, и обложи ихъ золотомъ, и будутъ носить на нихъ сей столъ.

29 Сдјлай также для него блюда, и ѕиміамники, и чаши, и кружки, чтобы возливать ими, изъ золота чистаго сдјлай ихъ.

30 И полагай всегда на столъ хлјбы предложенія предъ лицемъ Моимъ.

31 Еще сдјлай свјтильникъ изъ золота чистаго, чеканный долженъ быть сей свјтильникъ, такъ чтобы изъ него выходили стебель его, и вјтви его, чашки его, яблоки его и цвјты его.

32 Шесть вјтвей должны выходить изъ боковъ его: три вјтви свјтильника изъ одного бока его и три вјтви свјтильника изъ другаго бока его.

33 Три чашки на подобіе миндальнаго орјха, съ яблокомъ и цвјтами, должны быть на одной вјтви, и Три чашки на подобіе миндальнаго орјха на другой вјтви, съ яблокомъ и цвјтами. Такъ на всјхъ шести вјтвяхъ, выходящихъ изъ свјтильника.

34 А на самомъ стеблј свјтильника должны быть четыре чашки на подобіе миндальнаго орјха съ яблоками и цвјтами.

35 У шести вјтвей, выходящихъ изъ стебля свјтильника, яблоко подъ первыми двумя вјтвями, и яблоко подъ третьими двумя вјтвями.

36 Яблоки и вјтви ихъ изъ него должны выходить: онъ весь долженъ быть чеканяый, цјльный, чистаго золота.

37 И сдјлай къ нему семь лампадъ, и поставь лампады его, чтобы свјтили на переднюю сторону его.

38 Также щипцы къ нему и лотки подъ нихъ сдјлай изъ чистаго золота.

39 Изъ таланта золота чистаго пусть сдјлаютъ его со всјми сими принадлежностями.

40 Смотри, и сдјлай по тому образцу ихъ, который показапъ тебј на горј.

37. "On a time, when I was meditating on conjugial love, the desire seized my mind of knowing what that love had been like with those who lived in the Golden Age, and what, afterwards, in the succeeding ones which are called the Silver, Copper and Iron ages. And, as I knew that all who lived well in those ages are in the heavens, I prayed to the Lord that it might be permitted me to speak with them and be instructed.

"And, lo! an angel stood by me, and said, 'I am sent by the Lord to be your guide and companion; and I will lead and accompany you, first, to those who lived in the first era, or Age, which is called the Golden.' (The Golden Age is the same as the age of the Most Ancient Church, which is meant by the head of fine gold, on the statue seen by Nebuchadnezzar in a dream - Dan. 2:32- of which we have spoken before.) The angel said, 'The way to them is laborious; it lies through a dense wood, which no one can traverse unless a guide be given him by the Lord.'

[2] "I was in the spirit, and prepared myself for the journey, and we turned our faces to the east; and as we proceeded, I saw a mountain, whose summit towered beyond the region of the clouds. We crossed a great desert, and reached a wood crowded with all kinds of trees, and dark by reason of the dense growth thereof, of which the angel told me beforehand. But that wood was intersected by numerous narrow paths. The angel said that these were so many windings of error, and that unless the eyes were opened by the Lord, and the olive-trees girt about with vine tendrils seen, and the steps led from olive-tree to olive-tree, the traveller would stray into Tartarus. This wood is of such a nature, to the end that the approach may be guarded; for no other race but the primeval one dwells on that mountain.

[3] "After we entered the wood, our eyes were opened, and we saw here and there the olive-trees entwined with vines, from which hung bunches of grapes of a dark-blue colour, and the olive-trees were arranged in perpetual windings; wherefore, we walked round and round as they came into view; and at length we saw a grove of lofty cedars, and some eagles on their branches. When he saw these, the angel said, 'Now we are on the mountain, not far from its summit.'

And we went on; and lo! behind the grove was a circular plain, where were feeding male and female lambs, which were forms representative of the state of innocence and peace of the inhabitants of the mountain.

"We crossed this plain, and lo! there were seen thousands and thousands of tents to the front, and at the sides in every direction, as far as the sight could reach. And the angel said, 'Now we are in the camp where dwell the armies of the Lord Jehovih, for so they call themselves and their habitations. These most ancient people, while they were in the world, dwelt in tents; for which reason they also dwell in them now.' But I said, 'Let us bend our way to the south, where the wiser of them dwell, that we may meet some one with whom we may enter into conversation.'

[4] "On the way, I saw at a distance three boys and three girls sitting at the door of their tent; but as we drew near, both the boys and the girls were seen as men and women of medium height. And the angel said, 'All the inhabitants of this mountain appear at a distance as young children, because they are in the state of innocence, and early childhood is the appearance of innocence.'

"On seeing us, the three men (viri) ran towards us, and said, 'Whence are you, and how have you come hither? your faces are not of the faces belonging to this mountain.'

"But the angel replied, and told the means by which we obtained access through the wood, and the reason of our coming.

"On hearing this, one of the three men invited and conducted us into his tent. The man was clad in a coat of a purple colour, and a tunic of white wool; and his wife was dressed in a crimson robe, and had, underneath, a vest of fine embroidered linen.

[5] "But inasmuch as the desire of knowing about the marriages of the most ancient people was in my mind, I looked at the husband and the wife by turns, and observed as it were a unity of their souls in their faces; and I said, 'You two are one.

"And the man answered, 'We are one; her life is in me and mine in her. We are two bodies, but one soul. There is between us a union like that of the two tents in the breast, which are called the heart and the lungs; she is the substance of my heart, and I am her lungs; but as by heart we here mean love, and by lungs wisdom-we understand the latter by the former on account of correspondence-she is the love of my wisdom, and I am the wisdom of her love. Hence, as you said, there is the appearance of the unity of our souls in our faces. Hence, it is as impossible to us, here, to look in lust upon the wife of a companion, as it is to look at the light of our heaven from the shade of Tartarus.'

"And the angel said to me, 'You hear now the speech of these angels, that it is the speech of wisdom, because they speak from causes.'

[6] "After this conversation, I saw a great light on a hill among the tents, and I asked, 'Whence is that light?'

"He said, 'From the sanctuary of our tabernacle of worship.'

"I enquired whether it was allowed to approach; and he said that it was. Then I drew near, and saw the tabernacle exactly according to the description without and within, of the Tabernacle which was set up for the Sons of Israel in the wilderness, the form of which was shown to Moses on Mount Sinai (Exod. 25:40; 26:30). I asked, further, 'What is there within, in its sanctuary, whence so great a light proceeds?'

"And he answered, 'There is a tablet, on which is written, "THE COVENANT BETWEEN THE LORD JEHOVIH AND HEAVEN."' He said no more.

"Then, also, I questioned them about the LORD JEHOVIH, whom they worship; and I said, 'Is He not God the Father, the Creator of the universe?'

"And they replied, 'He is; but, by the Lord Jehovih we understand Jehovah in His Human; for we are not able to look upon Jehovah in His inmost Divinity, except through His Human': and then they explained what they understood, and also what at this day they understand, by the

Seed of the woman trampling the serpent's head (Gen. 3:15);

namely, that the Lord Jehovih would come into the world, and redeem and save all who believed on Him, and who would believe thereafter.

"When we had finished this conversation, the man ran to his tent, and returned with a pomegranate in which was a vast number of golden seeds, which he presented to me, and I brought away: this was a token that we had been with those who lived in the Golden Age." [See the little work on CONJUGIAL LOVE , n. 75.] - For an account of the heavens of the remaining Churches which succeeded the Most Ancient, in their order, see in the same little work on CONJUGIAL LOVE (n. 76-82).
