1 Сдјлай жертвенникъ изъ дерева акаціи, длиною пяти локтей, и шириною пяти локтей, такъ чтобы онъ былъ четвероугольный, а вышиною трехъ локтей.

2 Сдјлай роги его на четырехъ углахъ его, такъ чтобы роги выходили изъ него; и обложи его мјдъю.

3 Сдјлай тазы его, чтобы ссыпать пепелъ съ него, и лопаткп его, и чаши его, и вилки его, и угольницы его; всј принадлежности его сдјлай изъ мјди.

4 Сдјлай къ нему рјшетку, родъ сјтки, изъ мјди, а на четырехъ углахъ сјтки сдјлай четыре мјдныхъ кольца.

5 И положи ее по окружности жертвенника внизу, такъ чтобы сјтка была на половинј жертвенника.

6 И сдјлай шесты для жертвенника, шесты изъ дерева акаціи, и обложи ихъ мјдью.

7 И вкладывай шесты его въ кольца, такъ чтобы шесты были по обоимъ бокамъ жертвенника, когда нести его.

8 Сдјлай его пустой, досчатой; какъ показано тебј на горј, такъ пусть сдјлаютъ.

9 Сдјлай дворъ скиніи: съ полуденной стороны къ югу завјсы изъ крученаго виссона, длиною во сто локтей по одной сторонј;

10 столповъ для нея двадцать, и подножій для нихъ двадцать мјдныхъ; крючки у столповъ и связи на нихъ серебряныя.

11 Также и вдоль по сјверной сторонј завјсы ста локтей длиною, столповъ для нея двадцать и подножій для нихъ двадцать мјдныхъ; крючки у столповъ и связи на нихъ серебряныя.

12 Въ ширину же двора съ западной стороны завјсы пятидесяти локтей; столповъ для нихъ десять, и подножій ихъ десять.

13 Ширина двора съ передней стороны къ востоку будетъ также пятидесяти локтей.

14 Къ одной сторонј завјсы въ пятнадцать локтей; столповъ, ихъ три, и подножій ихъ три.

15 И къ другой сторонј завјсы въ пятнадцать локтей; столповъ ихъ три, и подножій ихъ три.

16 А для вратъ двора завјса въ двадцать локтей, изъ пряжи яхонтоваго, и пурпуроваго, и червденаго цвјта, и изъ крученаго виссона узорчатой работы; столповъ для нихъ четыре, и подножій для нихъ четыре.

17 Всј столпы двора кругомъ его должны быть соединены связями серебряными, крючки у нихъ серебряные, а подножія у нихъ мјдныя.

18 Длина двору сто локтей, а ширина пятьдесятъ въ обоихъ концахъ, высота пять локтей; завјсы изъ крученаго виссона, а подножія у столповъ мјдныя.

19 Всј принадлежности скиніи для всякаго употребленія въ ней, и всј колья ея, и всј колья двора мјдные.

20 Вели сынамъ Израилевымъ, чтобы они приносили тебј елей битый изъ маслинъ, чистый для освященія, чтобы горјлъ свјтилъникъ безпрерывно.

21 Въ скиніи собранія внј завјсы, которая противъ ковчега откровенія, будетъ зажигать его Ааронъ и сыновья его, отъ вечера до утра, предъ лицемъ Іеговы: это вјчный участокъ отъ сыновъ Израилевыхъ въ роды ихъ.

450. Having breastplates that were fiery, hyacinthine and sulfurous. This symbolizes their fanciful and illusory arguments springing from a hellish love and their own intelligence, and from the attendant lusts.

Breastplates symbolize the arguments people use to do battle for faith alone (no. 436). Fire symbolizes heavenly love, and in an opposite sense, hellish love (nos. 452, 468, 494). Hyacinthine symbolizes intelligence springing from a spiritual love, and in an opposite sense, intelligence springing from a hellish love, which is one's own inherent intelligence, as explained below. And sulfur symbolizes lust arising from that hellish love and expressed through their own inherent intelligence (no. 452). It follows from this that breastplates fiery, hyacinthine and sulfurous have the symbolic meaning stated.

[2] The reason their arguments in defense of faith alone are thus described is that all those people who believe themselves to be justified by faith alone, which is to say, absolved from sins, never give any thought to repentance, and an impenitent person engages in nothing but sins. All sins, moreover, spring from and so draw their character from a hellish love, from one's own inherent intelligence, and from the attendant lusts; and people caught up in them not only act on them, but they also speak, indeed think and will, in conformity with them, and accordingly reason and argue in conformity with them. These are who they are because they are their life; but who they are is a devil, and their life a hellish one.

In actual fact, however, people who live a moral life solely for the sake of themselves and the world do not know this. The reason is that although they inwardly are such as described, in outward appearances they are like people who live a Christian life. But they should know that when anyone of them dies, he comes into his interior life, because it is the life of his spirit, and he is his internal self. Moreover, his inner character then accommodates his outward one to itself, and they become alike. Consequently the moral virtues of these people's life in the world then become like the scales of fish that are scraped away.

The case is altogether different with people who regard the precepts of a moral life as Divine, and who make them at the same time civil precepts because they are expressive of a love for the neighbor.

[3] Hyacinthine symbolizes intelligence springing from the affection of a spiritual love because this color takes its hue from the redness of fire and the whiteness of light; and fire symbolizes love, and light intelligence. This intelligence is symbolically meant by the hyacinthine blue in the coverings and veils of the tabernacle (Exodus 26:31, 36; 27:16), and in Aaron's ephod (Exodus 28:6, 15); by the cloth of hyacinthine blue placed on the ark, table, lampstand, and altar [in the tabernacle] when the people prepared to journey (Numbers 4:6-7, 9, 11-12); and by the blue stuff in Ezekiel 27:7, 24.

On other hand, intelligence springing from the affection of a hellish love is symbolically meant by hyacinthine in Ezekiel 23:

Oholah (or Samaria) played the harlot... and she doted on her lovers, the neighboring Assyrians, clothed in hyacinthine blue..., horsemen riding on horses. (Ezekiel 23:4-6)

Thus is described a church which by the reasonings of its own inherent intelligence had falsified the Word's truths.

And in Jeremiah:

They are altogether foolish and grow stupid; the teaching of vanities is wood. Beaten silver... is brought from Tarshish..., the work of the craftsman and the hands of the metalsmith; hyacinthine blue and purple are their clothing, all the work of skillful men. (Jeremiah 10:8-9)

The work of the craftsman and the hands of the metalsmith, and all the work of skillful men, symbolize here that they spring from their own inherent intelligence.
