1 И сказал Господь Моисею, говоря:

2 скажи сынам Израилевым, чтобы они сделали Мне приношения; от всякого человека, у которого будет усердие, принимайте приношения Мне.

3 Вот приношения, которые вы должны принимать от них: золото и серебро и медь,

4 и шерсть голубую, пурпуровую и червленую, и виссон, и козью,

5 и кожи бараньи красные, и кожи синие, и дерева ситтим,

6 елей для светильника, ароматы для елея помазания и для благовонного курения,

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

8 И устроят они Мне святилище, и буду обитать посреди их;

9 все, как Я показываю тебе, и образец скинии и образец всех сосудов ее; так и сделайте.

10 Сделайте ковчег из дерева ситтим: длина ему два локтя с половиною, и ширина ему полтора локтя, и высота ему полтора локтя;

11 и обложи его чистым золотом, изнутри и снаружи покрой его; и сделай наверху вокруг его золотой венец.

12 и вылей для него четыре кольца золотых и утверди на четырех нижнихуглах его: два кольца на одной стороне его, два кольца на другой стороне его.

13 Сделай из дерева ситтим шесты и обложи их золотом;

14 и вложи шесты в кольца, по сторонам ковчега, чтобы посредством их носить ковчег;

15 в кольцах ковчега должны быть шесты и не должны отниматься от него.

16 И положи в ковчег откровение, которое Я дам тебе.

17 Сделай также крышку из чистого золота: длина ее два локтя с половиною, а ширина ее полтора локтя;

18 и сделай из золота двух херувимов: чеканной работы сделай их на обоих концах крышки;

19 сделай одного херувима с одного края, а другого херувима с другого края; выдавшимися из крышки сделайте херувимов на обоих краях ее;

20 и будут херувимы с распростертыми вверх крыльями,покрывая крыльями своими крышку, а лицами своими будут друг к другу: к крышке будутлица херувимов.

21 И положи крышку на ковчег сверху, в ковчег же положи откровение, которое Я дам тебе;

22 там Я буду открываться тебе и говорить с тобою над крышкою, посреди двух херувимов, которые над ковчегом откровения, о всем, что ни буду заповедывать чрез тебя сынам Израилевым.

23 И сделай стол из дерева ситтим, длиною в два локтя, шириною в локоть, и вышиною в полтора локтя,

24 и обложи его золотом чистым, и сделай вокруг него золотой венец.

25 и сделай вокруг него стенки в ладонь и у стенок его сделай золотой венец вокруг;

26 и сделай для него четыре кольца золотых и утверди кольца на четырех углах у четырех ножек его;

27 при стенках должны быть кольца, чтобы влагать шесты, для ношения на них стола;

28 а шесты сделай из дерева ситтим и обложи их золотом, и будут носить на них сей стол;

29 сделай также для него блюдо, кадильницы, чаши и кружки, чтобы возливать ими: из золота чистого сделай их;

30 и полагай на стол хлебы предложения пред лицем Моим постоянно.

31 И сделай светильник из золота чистого; чеканный должен быть сейсветильник; стебель его, ветви его, чашечки его, яблоки его и цветы его должны выходить из него;

32 шесть ветвей должны выходить из боков его: три ветви светильника из одного бока его и три ветви светильника из другого бока его;

33 три чашечки наподобие миндального цветка, с яблоком и цветами, должны быть на одной ветви, и три чашечки наподобие миндального цветка на другой ветви, с яблоком и цветами: так на всех шести ветвях, выходящих из светильника;

34 а на стебле светильника должны быть четыре чашечки наподобие миндального цветка с яблоками и цветами;

35 у шести ветвей, выходящих из стебля светильника, яблоко под двумя ветвями его, и яблоко под другими двумя ветвями, и яблоко под третьими двумя ветвями его.

36 яблоки и ветви их из него должны выходить: он весь должен быть чеканный, цельный, из чистого золота.

37 И сделай к нему семь лампад и поставь на него лампады его, чтобы светили на переднюю сторону его;

38 и щипцы к нему и лотки к нему из чистого золота;

39 из таланта золота чистого пусть сделают его со всеми сими принадлежностями.

40 Смотри, сделай их по тому образцу, какой показан тебе на горе.

9684. And the lampstand over against the table on the side of the Habitation toward the south. That this signifies the illumination of the spiritual kingdom by means of the Divine truth that proceeds from the Lord’s Divine human to those who are in good is evident from the signification of “the lampstand” as being the Lord as to Divine truth, thus the Divine truth that proceeds from His Divine Human, and the consequent illumination of His spiritual kingdom (of which in what follows); from the signification of “the table upon which were the breads of faces,” over against which was the lampstand, as being the Lord as to celestial good, and thus this good itself, from which and through which the Lord flows into the spiritual kingdom, that is, into the middle heaven (of which also in what follows); and from the signification of “on the side of the Habitation toward the south,” as being in heaven where the Divine truth that proceeds from the Lord’s Divine Human is in the greatest light; for the Habitation outside the veil, where the lampstand was, denotes the middle heaven (n. 9594), and “the south” or “midday” denotes where Divine truth is in its light (see n. 9642). That the lampstand was in the Habitation near the veil, and also the table upon which were the breads of faces; and that the lampstand was on the side toward the south, and the table on the side toward the north; are arcana of heaven which cannot be made plain unless it is known that the Habitation represented heaven, and the things in the Habitation the celestial and spiritual things which are in heaven. (What “the lampstand” represented has been shown above, n. 9548; and what “the table upon which were the breads of faces,” n. 9527, 9545; and what “the south” or “midday,” n. 9642; and what “the north,” n. 3708.) From this it can be seen that by “the lampstand on the side of the Habitation toward the south” is signified the illumination of the spiritual kingdom by means of the Divine truth that proceeds from the Lord’s Divine Human.

[2] But in order that the arcana themselves may be clearly seen, it must be stated how the case is in the heavens. The Lord appears to those who are of the celestial kingdom as a Sun, but to those who are of the spiritual kingdom as a Moon. The Lord as a Sun appears at a middle altitude over against the right eye; and as a Moon also at a middle altitude over against the left eye. From the Lord as a Sun, light comes to those who are in His celestial kingdom; and from the Lord as a Moon, light comes to those who are in His spiritual kingdom (concerning these two kingdoms, see the places cited in n. 9277). The light in the heavens is the Divine truth that proceeds from the Lord’s Divine Human, and this, when received by the angels of the spiritual kingdom, is called the truth of faith from the good of charity toward the neighbor. The middle heaven, which is called the spiritual heaven, consists of this good and this truth. The lampstand in the Habitation represented the Moon, from which those who are of the spiritual kingdom have light, thus it represented the Lord as to Divine truth there; for, as before said, the Lord appears as a Moon to those who belong to this kingdom. From all this it can now be seen why the lampstand was placed toward the south, for “the south” or “midday” denotes where Divine truth is in light (see n. 9642); and why the table upon which were the breads of faces was placed toward the north, for “the north” denotes where Divine truth is in obscurity (n. 3708). The case is the same with the Divine good signified by “the breads” upon this table; this good becomes spiritual good through the reception of Divine truth as of light from the Moon. These are the arcana which are signified by the lampstand and its position toward the south; and by the table upon which were the breads of faces, and its position toward the north.

[3] That “the lampstand” denotes the Divine truth that proceeds from the Lord’s Divine Human, is evident from Revelation:

I saw seven golden lampstands, and in the midst of the seven lampstands one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the feet, and girt about the breasts with a golden girdle (Revelation 1:12-13);

“the Son of man” denotes the Lord in respect to the Divine truth from His Divine Human (n. 2803, 2813, 3704). And in another passage in the same book:

The glory of God shall lighten the Holy City Jerusalem, and the Lamb is the lamp thereof (Revelation 21:23);

“the glory of God” denotes the Divine truth that proceeds from the the Lord, (n. 9429); “the lamp which is the Lamb,” that is, the Lord, denotes faith, and the consequent intelligence of truth and wisdom of good, which are from the Lord alone (n. 9548); “the New Jerusalem” denotes the Lord’s New Church (see n. 2117).

[4] (That the Lord is a Sun to those who are in the celestial kingdom, and appears as a Moon to those who are in the spiritual kingdom, see n. 1053, 1521, 1529-1531, 3636, 3643, 5097, 7083, 7173, 7270, 8644, 8812; consequently that by “the sun” in the Word is signified the Lord as to celestial good, and by “the moon” the Lord as to spiritual good, n. 1529, 1530, 2441, 2495, 4060, 4696, 7083, 8644; and that the Lord as a Sun appears at a middle altitude over against the right eye, and as a Moon also at a middle altitude over against the left eye, n. 1531, 4321, 7078, 7171. It is for this reason that the east in heaven is where the Lord appears as a Sun, and the south where the Lord appears as a Moon. (That the light from the Lord as a Sun and as a Man is the Divine truth that proceeds from His Divine Human, see n. 1053, 1521-1533, 1619-1632, 2776, 3094, 3138, 3167, 3190, 3195, 3222, 3223, 3337, 3339, 3341, 3636, 3643, 3862, 3993, 4060, 4180, 4302, 4408, 4414, 4415, 4419, 4527, 4598, 5400, 6032, 6313, 6315, 6608, 6907, 7174, 8644, 8707, 8861, 9399, 9407.) And as the light from the Lord as a Sun and as a Moon is the Divine truth that proceeds from Him, therefore the heat from the Lord as a Sun in heaven is the Divine good of His Divine love (n. 3338, 3339, 3636, 3643, 5215, 6032).

[5] From this can be seen the nature of the difference between the celestial kingdom and the spiritual kingdom of the Lord in respect to the reception of Divine truth, namely, that it is like the difference between the light from the sun and the light from the moon. (That on this account they who are in the spiritual kingdom are comparatively in obscurity in respect to the truth of faith and the good of love, see n. 2708, 2715, 2718, 2831, 2849, 2935, 2937, 3241, 3833, 6289, 6500, 6945, 7233; that these especially were saved by the coming of the Lord into the world, n. 2661, 2716, 3969, 6373, 6854, 6914, 7035, 7091, 7828, 7932a, 8018, 8054, 8159, 8321, 9596; and that they have illumination in the Lord’s Divine Human, n. 2716, 2833, 2834; but that those belonging to the spiritual church are saved who are in the good of life through the truths of faith, n. 2954, 6435, 6647, 6648, 7977, 7992, 8643, 8648, 8658, 8685, 8690, 8701)

4415. Souls newly arrived, or novitiate spirits-that is, those who have been in the other life but a few days since the death of the body-are very much surprised to find that there is light in the other life, for they carry with them the ignorance that supposes light to be exclusively from the sun and material flame. Still less do they know that there is any light which illumines the understanding, for in the bodily life they have not observed this, and even still less that this light confers the capacity to think, and by its influx into forms which are from the light of the world presents all things that are of the understanding. If these spirits have been good they are taken up into heavenly societies to be instructed, and are passed from one society to another, in order that they may perceive by living experience that there is light in the other life, and this more intense than is ever found in the world; and that they may at the same time take notice that insofar as they are in the light there, so far they are in intelligence. Some who were taken up into the spheres of heavenly light spoke with me from thence, and confessed that they had never believed in any such thing, and that the light of the world is relatively darkness. From that light they also looked through my eyes into the light of the world, and perceived it as nothing but a dark cloud, and in pity said that such is the light in which are men. From what has been said it may also be seen why the angels of heaven are called in the Word “angels of light;” and also that the Lord is the Light, and consequently is the life for men (John 1:1, 9; 8:12).
