Исход 27

Studie

   

1 И сделай жертвенник из дерева ситтим длиною пяти локтей и шириною пяти локтей, так чтобы он был четыреугольный, и вышиною трех локтей.

2 И сделай роги на четырех углах его, так чтобы роги выходили из него; и обложи его медью.

3 Сделай к нему горшки для высыпания в них пепла, илопатки, и чаши, и вилки, и угольницы; все принадлежности сделай из меди.

4 Сделай к нему решетку, род сетки, из меди, и сделай на сетке, начетырех углах ее, четыре кольца медных;

5 и положи ее по окраине жертвенника внизу, так чтобы сетка была до половины жертвенника.

6 И сделай шесты для жертвенника, шесты из дерева ситтим, и обложи их медью;

7 и вкладывай шесты его в кольца, так чтобы шесты были по обоим бокам жертвенника, когда нести его.

8 Сделай его пустой внутри, досчатый: как показано тебе на горе, такпусть сделают.

9 Сделай двор скинии: с полуденной стороны к югу завесы для двора должны быть из крученого виссона, длиною во сто локтей по одной стороне;

10 столбов для них двадцать, и подножий для них двадцать медных; крючки у столбов исвязи на них из серебра.

11 Также и вдоль по северной стороне – завесы ста локтей длиною; столбов для них двадцать, и подножий для них двадцать медных; крючки у столбов и связи на них из серебра.

12 В ширину же двора с западной стороны – завесы пятидесяти локтей; столбов для них десять, и подножий к ним десять.

13 И в ширину двора с передней стороны к востоку – завесы пятидесяти локтей.

14 К одной стороне – завесы в пятнадцать локтей; столбов для них три, и подножий для них три;

15 и к другой стороне – завесы в пятнадцать локтей ; столбов для них три, иподножий для них три.

16 А для ворот двора завеса в двадцать локтей из голубой и пурпуровой и червленой шерсти и из крученого виссона узорчатой работы; столбов для нее четыре, и подножий к ним четыре.

17 Все столбы вокруг двора должны быть соединены связями из серебра; крючки у них из серебра, а подножия к ним из меди.

18 Длина двора сто локтей, а ширина по всему протяжению пятьдесят, высота пять локтей; завесы из крученого виссона, а подножия у столбов из меди.

19 Все принадлежности скинии для всякого употребления в ней, и все колья ее, и все колья двора – из меди.

20 И вели сынам Израилевым, чтобы они приносили тебе елей чистый,выбитый из маслин, для освещения, чтобы горел светильник во всякое время;

21 в скинии собрания вне завесы, которая пред ковчегом откровения, будет зажигать его Аарон и сыновья его, от вечера до утра, пред лицем Господним. Это устав вечный для поколений их от сынов Израилевых.

9736. 'And the poles shall be on the two sides of the altar' means the power of the good from which truth springs, and that of the truth which springs from the good. This is clear from the meaning of 'the poles' as power, as immediately above; and from the meaning of 'the two sides' as the good from which truth springs, and the truth that springs from the good, thus a marriage of good to truth and of truth to good. The reason for this is that things on the right side in a human being have connection with the good from which truth springs, and those on the left side with the truth that springs from the good, see 9604, and that by their being joined together the marriage of good and truth is therefore meant, 9495. So it is then that like things are meant by 'the sides of the altar' where the poles went; for all representatives on the natural level resemble the human form and have the same meaning as the parts of it they resemble, 9496.

Arcana Coelestia # 9496

9496. 'And you shall make poles of shittim wood' means power derived from this. This is clear from the meaning of 'poles' as the power which truth from good possesses, dealt with below; and from the meaning of 'shittim wood' as the good of merit that is the Lord's alone, dealt with above in 9472, 9486. Here it must now be stated what it was that enabled the ark and the dwelling-place to represent heaven, and at the same time the rim of the ark to represent a border, the corners firmness, the rings the joining of good to truth, and the poles power. It has been shown that the whole natural system, thus every single thing existing in true order there, is representative of the Lord's kingdom, that is, of heaven and heavenly realities present there, 9280. It has also been shown that the whole of heaven resembles a human being, and that for this reason heaven has been called the Grand Man, 9276 (end). From this it now follows that all objects which serve to represent heavenly realities correlate with the human form, and that they carry spiritual meanings according to their similarity to that form.

[2] From this it is now evident how the ark can come to mean heaven where the Lord is, the rim on it to mean a border, the sides to mean good to which truth must be joined, the corners to mean firmness, the rings to mean the actual joining together, and the poles to mean power. For the poles resemble a person's arms and therefore also have a similar meaning to the arms; the rings resemble the ginglymi or sockets where the arms are linked to the breast; the corners resemble the actual protrusions where that link is made; the sides resemble the chest cavity or thorax, and the rim resembles the [shoulder-]girdle which forms a border for it. From this it becomes clear that power is meant by 'poles', as it is by 'arms' (for the meaning of 'arms' and 'hands' as power, see 878, 4931-4937, 5327, 5328, 6292, 6947, 7188, 7189, 7205, 7518, 7673, 8050, 8153, 8281, 9025, 9133); and that the same thing is meant by 'the sides' as by the chest or thorax of the body, namely good, since the chest contains the heart and lungs, and 'the heart' means celestial good and 'the lungs' spiritual good, 3883-3896, 9300. From all this it is evident that by 'rings' the same thing is meant as by ginglymi or joints which join the chest to the shoulders, and the shoulders to the arms, namely the joining of good to truth, and that firmness is meant by 'the corners', for the strength of the body is exerted there, and the body is equipped with strength and power through the arms. From all this one may recognize how it comes about that natural objects which are inanimate can represent the same realities as ones that are animate, that is, as parts of the human body. That is to say, it comes about because heaven resembles a human being, and the things present in heaven resemble those that exist in the human being, as may be seen from what has been shown at great length regarding the correspondence of the human being with the Grand Man or heaven. See the places referred to in 9276 (end).

[3] Just as the poles which were used to carry the ark meant power, so did the poles or bars which were used to secure the gates of cities, as is clear from the following places: In Hosea,

The sword falls on its cities, and consumes its bars. Hosea 11:6.

'The sword' stands for truth battling against falsity, 'cities' for matters of doctrine, and 'bars' for power. In Isaiah,

For your sake I have sent to Babel, and I will break down all the bars. Isaiah 43:14.

In Jeremiah,

The mighty ones of Babel are seated in strongholds; their power has been destroyed. 1 Its bars have been broken. Jeremiah 51:30.

In Amos,

I will break the bar of Damascus. Amos 1:5.

In Isaiah,

I will break in pieces the gates of bronze and cut asunder the bars of iron. Isaiah 45:2.

Similar words occur in David, Psalms 107:16. In Jeremiah,

It has no gates or bars; they dwell alone. Jeremiah 49:31.

In Ezekiel,

They all dwell without a wall; 2 they do not have bars and gates. Ezekiel 38:11.

In Jeremiah,

Her gates have sunk into the earth, He has destroyed and broken in pieces her bars. Lamentations 2:9.

In David,

Praise your God, O Zion! For He strengthens the bars of your gates. Psalms 147:12-13.

In these places matters of doctrine are meant by 'cities', 2449, 2712, 3216, 4492, 4493, firmness and protection by 'gates', and the power which belongs to truth derived from good by 'bars'. The fact that all power belongs to truth, but to truth that is derived from good, see 6344, 6423, 8200, 8304, 9133, 9327, 9410.
