1 И сказал Господь Моисею, говоря:

2 смотри, Я назначаю именно Веселеила, сына Уриева, сына Орова, из колена Иудина;

3 и Я исполнил его Духом Божиим, мудростью, разумением, ведением и всяким искусством,

4 работать из золота, серебра и меди,

5 резать камни для вставливания и резать дерево для всякого дела;

6 и вот, Я даю ему помощником Аголиава, сына Ахисамахова, из колена Данова, и в сердце всякого мудрого вложу мудрость, дабы они сделали все, что Я повелел тебе:

7 скинию собрания и ковчег откровения и крышку на него, и все принадлежности скинии,

8 и стол и принадлежности его, и светильник из чистого золота и все принадлежности его, и жертвенник курения,

9 и жертвенник всесожжения и все принадлежности его, и умывальник и подножие его,

10 и одежды служебные и одежды священные Аарону священнику, и одежды сынам его, для священнослужения,

11 и елей помазания и курение благовонное для святилища: все так, как Я повелел тебе,они сделают.

12 И сказал Господь Моисею, говоря:

13 скажи сынам Израилевым так: субботы Мои соблюдайте, ибо это – знамение между Мною и вами в роды ваши, дабы вы знали, что Я Господь, освящающий вас;

14 и соблюдайте субботу, ибо она свята для вас: кто осквернит ее, тот да будет предан смерти; кто станет в оную делать дело, та душа должна быть истреблена из среды народа своего;

15 шесть дней пусть делают дела, а в седьмой – суббота покоя,посвященная Господу: всякий, кто делает дело в день субботний, да будет предан смерти;

16 и пусть хранят сыны Израилевы субботу, празднуя субботу в роды свои, как завет вечный;

17 это – знамение между Мною и сынами Израилевыми на веки, потому что в шесть дней сотворил Господь небо и землю, а в день седьмой почил и покоился.

18 И когда Бог перестал говорить с Моисеем на горе Синае, дал ему две скрижали откровения, скрижали каменные, на которых написано было перстом Божиим.

10372. 'This is a sign between Me and the children of Israel into an age' means that this is the means by which those who belong to the Church are distinguished from those who do not belong to the Church. This is clear from the meaning of 'a sign' as the means by which they are recognized, dealt with above in 10357, and so also by which they are distinguished; and from the representation of 'the children of Israel' as the Church, dealt with in the places referred to in 9340, so that 'a sign between Jehovah and the children of Israel' means that it is the means by which those who belong to the Church are distinguished from those who do not, that is to say, they are distinguished by their acknowledgement of the union of the Divine within the Lord's Human, dealt with above in 10370. The truth that the Church does not exist where the Lord is not acknowledged is also the teaching of the Church itself; and the further truth that within His Human there is the Divine itself is the Lord's own teaching in John,

I and the Father 1 are one. ... you may believe that the Father is in Me, and I am in the Father. John 10:30, 38.

In the same gospel,

Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me? John 14:6-11.

In the same gospel,

Jesus said, The hour has come. Father, glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You. All Mine are Yours, and all Yours are Mine. John 17:1, 10.

In the same gospel,

Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in Him. And God will glorify Him in Himself. John 13:31-32.

And in the same gospel,

If you know Me you know My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him. He who has seen Me has seen the Father. John 14:6-11.

Poznámky pod čarou:

1. The Latin means The Father and I but the Greek means I and the Father, which Swedenborg has in most other places where he quotes this verse.

6917. 'Vessels of silver' means factual knowledge of what is true, 'and vessels of gold' means factual knowledge of what is good. This is clear from the meaning of 'vessels' as known facts, dealt with in 3068, 3079 (known facts are called 'vessels' because they are general and can contain within them countless truths and manifold forms of good); from the meaning of 'silver' as truth, and of 'gold' as good, dealt with in 1551, 1552, 2954, 5658, 'the silver of Egypt' being factual knowledge that held truth in it and was appropriate, see 6112. As regards the vessels of silver and the vessels of gold in the hands of the Egyptians - that they mean factual knowledge of what is true and factual knowledge of what is good, even though here and in what has gone before, as well as in what follows, false factual knowledge is meant by 'the Egyptians - it should be recognized that in themselves known facts are neither true nor false. Rather, they become true in the hands of those who are guided by truths, and false in the hands of those who are steeped in falsities. What use they are put to and then made to serve is what determines which of these they become. The facts a person knows are like the wealth and riches he possesses. Wealth and riches in the hands of those governed by evil are ruinous because they put them to evil kinds of use, whereas wealth and riches in the hands of those governed by good are advantageous because they put them to good kinds of use. Therefore if wealth and riches in the hands of evil people are handed over to those who are good they become good. So too with factual knowledge.

[2] Among the Egyptians, for example, there remained a large number of the representatives that belonged to the Ancient Church, as is clear from their hieroglyphics. But because they applied them to magical practices and therefore made them serve an evil use, these things were for them not true factual knowledge but false. Yet in the Ancient Church the same knowledge had held what was true since people had put it to its correct use - to Divine worship. Take sacrifices on altars as another example. Among the Hebrew nation, and subsequently among the Jewish and Israelite nation, they were ritual acts that were true because they were put to use in the worship of Jehovah. But among the nations in the land of Canaan they were false ritual acts because they were put to use in the worship of their idols. This was why the command was also given to destroy those nations' altars wherever they were. The same holds true with a very large number of other things. For this reason many known facts can be learned from those who are steeped in evils and falsities, and put to good kinds of use, thus becoming good. Similar things were also meant by plundering the nations in the land of Canaan - by the wealth, large cattle, small cattle, houses, and vineyards which the children of Israel plundered there. The same thing is still further evident from the gold and silver plundered from the nations. This too was devoted to a sacred use, as is clear from the second Book of Samuel,

There were in his hand vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of bronze. King David consecrated these also to Jehovah, along with the silver and gold that he had consecrated from all the nations which he had subdued - from the Syrians, [and] from Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek, and from the plunder of Hadad Ezer the son of Rehob, king of Zobah. 2 Samuel 8:10-12.

And in Isaiah,

At length the merchandise of Tyre and her harlot's wages will be holy to Jehovah, they will not be hoarded or held back; but her merchandise will be for those that dwell before Jehovah to eat to their satiety and for one covering himself with what is ancient. Isaiah 23:18.

And also the objects which the women of the children of Israel asked of the Egyptians, thereby plundering them, were later on put to use in the making of the Ark, and to many other sacred objects in their worship.
