1 Скинію же сдјлай изъ десяти покрывалъ крученаго виссона яхонтоваго, и пурпуроваго, и червленаго цвјта и на нихъ искусною работою вытки херувимовъ.

2 Длина каждаго покрывала двадцать восемь локтей, а ширина каждаго покрывала четыре локтя: мјра одна всјмъ покрываламъ.

3 Пять покрывалъ пусть будутъ соединены одно съ другимъ, и другія пять покрывалъ соединены одно съ другимъ.

4 Сдјлай петли яхонтоваго цвјта на краю перваго покрывала съ той стороны, гдј оно соединяется съ друтмъ; также сдјлай на краю послјдняго покрывала съ той стороны, гдј оно соединяется съ другимъ.

5 Пятьдесятъ петлей сдјлай у одного покрывала, и пятьдесятъ петлей сдјлай на краю покрывала, которое соединяется съ другимъ; петли должны соотвјтствовать одна другой.

6 Сдјлай пятьдесятъ крючковъ золотыхъ, и крючками соедини покрывало одно съ другимъ, и будетъ скинія одно цјлое,

7 Еще сдјлай изъ козъей шерсти покрывала, чтобы покрывать скинію, одиннадцать покрывалъ сдјлай такихъ.

8 Длина одного покрывала тридцать локтей, а ширина четыре локтя; это одно покрывало: одиннадцати покрываламъ одна мјра.

9 И соедини пять покрывалъ особо, и шесть покрывалъ особо, а шестое покрывало сдјлай двойное съ передней стороны скиніи.

10 Сдјлай пятьдесятъ петлей на краю крайняго покрывала, гдј оно соединяегся съ другимъ, и пятьдесятъ петлей на краю покрывала, гдј оно опять соединяется.

11 Сдјлай пятьдесятъ крючковъ мјдныхъ и вложи крючки въ петли, и соедини покровъ, чтобы онъ составлялъ одно.

12 А излишекъ, оставшійся отъ покрывалъ скиніи, половина излишняго покрывала пусть будетъ свјшена на задней сторонј скиніи.

13 А излишекъ отъ длины покрывалъ скиніи, на локоть съ одной, и на локоть съ другой стороны, пусть будетъ свјшенъ по бокамъ скиніи съ той и съ другой стороны, для покрытія оной.

14 Еще сдјлай покровъ для скиніи изъ кожъ бараньихъ красныхъ, и покровъ верхній изъ кожъ синихъ.

15 Сдјлай для скиніи брусья изъ дерева акаціи, чтобы поставить ихъ.

16 Длиною въ десять локтей сдјлай брусъ, и каждому брусу ширина полтора локтя.

17 У каждаго бруса по два шипа, одинъ противъ другаго; такъ сдјлай у всјхъ брусьевъ скиніи.

18 Такъ сдјлай брусья для скиніи: двадцать брусьевъ для полуденной стороны къ югу.

19 Подъ двадцать брусьевъ сдјлай сорокъ серебряныхъ подножій: два подножія подъ одинъ брусъ для двухъ шиповъ его, и два подножія подъ другой брусъ для двухъ шиповъ его.

20 Двадцать же брусьевъ для другой стороны скиніи къ сјверу.

21 И для нихъ сорокъ подножій серебряныхъ: два подножія подъ одинъ брусъ, и два подножія подъ другой брусъ.

22 Для западной же стороны сзади скиніи сдјлай шесть брусьевъ.

23 И два бруса сдјлай въ углы скиніи на западную сторону.

24 Они должны быть двусоставные внизу и также двусоставные сверху у перваго кольца: таковы должны быть оба, на обоихъ углахъ.

25 Такимъ образомъ будетъ восемь брусьевъ, и для нихъ серебряныхъ подножій шестнадцатъ: два подножія подъ одинъ брусъ, и два подножія подъ другой брусъ.

26 И сдјлай шесты изъ дерева акаціи, пять для брусьевъ одной стороны скиніи,

27 и пять шестовъ для брусьевъ другой стороны скиніи, и пять шестовъ для брусьевъ западной стороны сзади скиніи,

28 такъ, чтобы средній шестъ проходилъ по срединј брусьевъ отъ одного конца до другаго.

29 Брусья же обложи золотомъ, и кольца ихъ для вкладыванія шестовъ сдјлай изъ золота, и самые шесты обложи золотомъ.

30 И поставь скинію такимъ образомъ, какъ показано тебј на горј.

31 И сдјлай завјсу изъ крученаго виссона яхонтоваго и пурпуроваго и червленаго цвјта; искусною работою вытки на ней херувимовъ.

32 И повјсь ее на четырехъ столпахъ изъ акаціи, обложенныхъ золотомъ, съ золотыми крючками, съ четырьмя подножіями серебряными.

33 И повјсь завјсу на крючкахъ, и внеси туда за завјсу ковчегъ откровенія, и будетъ завјса сія отдјлять вамъ святилище отъ святаго святыхъ.

34 И положи покровъ очистилища на ковчегъ откровенія во святомъ святыхъ,

35 И поставь столъ по сю сторону завјсы, а свјтильникъ противъ стола на южной сторонј скиніи; столъ же поставь на сјверной сторонј.

36 Сдјлай для входа скиніи завјсу, пряжи яхонтоваго, и пурпуроваго и червленаго цвјта, и изъ крученаго виссона узорчатой работы.

37 Для сей завјсы сдјлай пять столповъ изъ акаціи, обложи ихъ золотомъ, крючки къ нимъ золотые, вылей для нихъ пять мјдныхъ подножій.

3519. And take me from thence two good kids of the she-goats. That this signifies the truths of this good, is evident from the signification of “kids of the she-goats,” as being the truths of good, concerning which in what follows. The reason there were two, is that as in the rational, so in the natural, there are things which are of the will and things which are of the understanding. The things in the natural that have relation to the will are delights, and those which have relation to the understanding are memory-knowledges, and in order to be something these two must be conjoined together.

[2] That “kids of the she-goats” signify the truths of good, may be seen from those passages of the Word where “kids” and “she-goats” are mentioned. Be it known that in the genuine sense all the tame and useful beasts mentioned in the Word signify the celestial things of good and the spiritual things of truth (see n. 45, 46, 142, 143, 246, 714, 715, 2180, 2781, 3218); and because there are various kinds of celestial things or goods, and consequently various kinds of spiritual things or truths, one kind is signified by one beast, and another by another; thus one kind is signified by a “lamb,” another by a “kid,” another by a “sheep,” by a “she-goat,” a “ram,” a “he-goat,” a “bullock,” an “ox;” another also by a “horse” and by a “camel;” another likewise by birds; and also another by the beasts of the sea, as by “whales” and “fishes.” There are more genera of celestial and spiritual things than can be enumerated, consequently of goods and truths, although when the celestial or good is mentioned, and also the spiritual or truth, it appears as if it were not manifold, but only one. But how manifold they both are, or how innumerable their genera are, may be seen from what has been said concerning heaven (n. 3241), namely, that it is distinguished into innumerable societies, and this according to the genera of celestial and spiritual things, or of the goods of love and thence of the truths of faith; and moreover every single genus of good, and every single genus of truth, has innumerable species into which the societies of each genus are distinguished, and every species in like manner.

[3] The most universal genera of good and truth are what were represented by the animals that were offered in the burnt-offerings and sacrifices; and because the genera are most distinct from one another it was expressly enjoined that such and no other should be offered-in some cases, for instance, male and female lambs, also male and female kids; in some cases rams and sheep, and also he-goats; but in others, calves, bullocks, and oxen; also pigeons and turtle-doves (n. 922, 1823, 2180, 2805, 2807, 2830, 3218). What was signified by “kids” and “she-goats” may be seen both from the sacrifices in which they were offered, and also from other passages in the Word; whence it is evident that male and female “lambs” signified the innocence of the internal or rational man, and that “kids” and “she-goats” signified the innocence of the external or natural man, thus the truth and good thereof.

[4] That the truth and good of the innocence of the external or natural man is signified by “kids” and “she-goats” is evident from the following passages in the Word.

In Isaiah:

The wolf shall abide with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf, and the young lion, and the sheep 1 together; and a little child shall lead them (Isaiah 11:6); where the Lord’s kingdom is treated of, and a state of no fear from evil, or of no dread on account of hell, because one of presence with the Lord. The “lamb” and the “kid” denote those who are in innocence, and because these are the safest of all, they are mentioned first.

[5] When all the firstborn of Egypt were smitten, it was commanded that they should slay perfect and male young of the flock, of lambs or of kids, and should put some of the blood on the door-posts and on the lintel of the houses, and thus there should not be a plague on them from the destroyer (Exodus 12:5, 7, 13). The “firstborn of Egypt” denotes the good of love and charity extinct (n. 3325); “lambs” and “kids” are states of innocence; and those who are in these states are safe from evil, for all in heaven are protected by the Lord through states of innocence; and this protection was represented by the slaying of a lamb or kid, and by the blood upon the door-posts and lintel of the houses.

[6] When Jehovah appeared to anyone through an angel, a kid of the goats was sacrificed, lest the man should die-as when he appeared to Gideon (Judges 6:19), and to Manoah (13:15-16, 19). The reason was that Jehovah or the Lord cannot appear to anyone, not even to an angel, unless he to whom He appears is in a state of innocence; and therefore as soon as the Lord is present with anyone he is let into a state of innocence; for the Lord enters through innocence, even with the angels in heaven. On this account no one can come into heaven unless he has somewhat of innocence, according to the words of the Lord in Matthew 18:3; Mark 10:15; Luke 18:17. That men believed they should die when Jehovah appeared, unless they offered such a burnt-offering may be seen in Judges 13:22-23.

[7] Inasmuch as genuine conjugial love is innocence (see n. 2736), it was customary in the representative church to enter in unto a wife by a present of a kid of the she-goats; as we read of Samson (Judges 15:1); likewise of Judah when he went in unto Tamar (Genesis 38:17, 20, 23). That a “kid” and a “she-goat” signified innocence, is also evident from the sacrifices of guilt, which they were to offer when anyone had sinned through error (Leviticus 1:10; 4:28; 5:6); sin through error is a sin of ignorance in which is innocence. The same is evident from the following Divine command in Moses:

The first of the first-fruits of thy ground thou shalt bring into the house of Jehovah thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in its mother’s milk (Exodus 23:19; 34:26); where by the “first-fruits of the ground, which they were to bring into the house of Jehovah,” is signified the state of innocence which is in infancy; and by “not seething a kid in its mother’s milk,” that they should not destroy the innocence of infancy. Because these things are signified, in both passages the one command follows the other without a break; and yet in the literal sense they appear to be altogether different; but in the internal sense they cohere together.

[8] Because as before said “kids” and “she-goats” signified innocence, it was also commanded that the curtain of the tent over the tabernacle should be made of the wool of she-goats (Exodus 25:4; 26:7; 35:5-6, 23, 26; 36:14), for a sign that all the holy things therein represented derived their essence from innocence. By the “wool of she-goats” is signified the ultimate or outermost of the innocence that is in ignorance, such as exists with the Gentiles; and who in the internal sense are the “curtains” of the tabernacle. From all this it is evident what and of what quality are the truths of good that are signified by the “two good kids of the she-goats” concerning which Rebekah his mother spoke unto Jacob her son, namely, that they are those of innocence or of infancy, being in fact those which Esau was to bring to his father Isaac; concerning which above (n. 3501, 3508); and which indeed were not these truths of good, but at first appeared as if they were; and it is for this reason that by means of these Jacob simulated Esau.

Poznámky pod čarou:

1. The Hebrew for “sheep” (ovis) here is meri, which in the A. V. is rendered “fatling” three times, “fat cattle” twice, “fat beast” once, “fed beast” once. By Swedenborg it is rendered saginatum seven times, pinguis once, pingue pecus once, and ovis once. In the passage before us he has rendered it saginatum in n. 10132; True Christian Religion789; Apocalypse Explained514, 780, 781; pingue pecus in n. 430 and ovis here in n. 3519 of the same work. The commentators usually understand by it a fattened calf; some rabbis a wild ox (buffalo or bubalus); none have “sheep.”
