Ponovljeni Zakon 16

1 Drži mesec Aviv, te slavi pashu Gospodu Bogu svom, jer meseca Aviva izveo te je Gospod Bog tvoj iz Misira noću.

2 I zakolji pashu Gospodu Bogu svom, od krupne i sitne stoke, na mestu koje izabere Gospod da onde nastani ime svoje.

3 Ne jedi s njom hleb kiseli; sedam dana jedi s njom presan hleb, hleb nevoljnički, jer si hiteći izašao iz zemlje misirske, pa da se opominješ dana kad si izašao iz Misira, dok si god živ.

4 I da se ne vidi u tebe kvasac za sedam dana nigde među granicama tvojim, i da ne ostane preko noćništa do jutra od mesa koje zakolješ prvi dan uveče.

5 Ne možeš klati pashe na svakom mestu svom koje ti da Gospod Bog tvoj;

6 Nego na mestu koje izabere Gospod Bog tvoj da onde nastani ime svoje, onde kolji pashu uveče o sunčanom zahodu u isto vreme kad si pošao iz Misira.

7 A peci je i jedi na mestu koje izabere Gospod Bog tvoj; i sutradan vrativši se idi u svoje šatore.

8 Šest dana jedi presne hlebove, a sedmi dan da je praznik Gospodnji, tada ne radi ništa.

9 Sedam nedelja nabroj; kad stane srp raditi po letini, onda počni brojati Sedam nedelja.

10 Tada praznuj praznik nedelja Gospodu Bogu svom; šta možeš prinositi dragovoljno kako te bude blagoslovio Gospod Bog tvoj.

11 I veseli se pred Gospodom Bogom svojim ti i sin tvoj i kći tvoja i sluga tvoj i sluškinja tvoja, i Levit koji bude u mestu tvom, i došljak i sirota i udovica, što budu kod tebe, na mestu koje izabere Gospod Bog tvoj da onde nastani ime svoje.

12 I opominji se da si bio rob u Misiru, te čuvaj i tvori uredbe ove.

13 Praznik senica praznuj sedam dana, kad zbereš s gumna svog i iz kace svoje.

14 I veseli se na praznik svoj ti i sin tvoj i sluga tvoj i sluškinja tvoja, i Levit i došljak i sirota i udovica, što budu u mestu tvom.

15 Sedam dana praznuj praznik Gospodu Bogu svom na mestu koje izabere Gospod, kad te blagoslovi Gospod Bog tvoj u svakoj letini tvojoj i u svakom poslu ruku tvojih; i budi veseo.

16 Tri puta u godini neka dođe svako muško pred Gospoda Boga tvog na mesto koje izabere: na praznik presnih hlebova, na praznik nedelja i na praznik senica, ali niko da ne dođe prazan pred Gospoda;

17 Nego svaki s darom od onog što ima, prema blagoslovu Gospoda Boga tvog kojim te je darivao.

18 Sudije i upravitelje postavi sebi po svim mestima koja ti da Gospod Bog tvoj po plemenima tvojim, i neka sude narodu pravo.

19 Ne izvrći pravde i ne gledaj ko je ko; ne primaj poklona. jer poklon zaslepljuje oči mudrima i izvrće reči pravednima.

20 Sasvim idi za pravdom, da bi bio živ i nasledio zemlju koju ti daje Gospod Bog tvoj.

21 Ne sadi luga ni od kakvih drveta kod oltara Gospoda Boga svog, koji načiniš;

22 I ne podiži nikakav lik; na to mrzi Gospod Bog tvoj.

585. And against His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. This symbolizes scandalous assertions against the Lord's celestial church and against heaven.

The Tabernacle has almost the same symbolic meaning as the Temple, namely, in the highest sense, the Lord's Divine humanity, and in a relative sense, heaven and the church (nos. 191, 529). But in the latter sense the Tabernacle symbolizes the celestial church, which is impelled by the goodness of love toward the Lord received from the Lord; and the Temple symbolizes the spiritual church, which is impelled by truths of wisdom received from the Lord. Those who dwell in heaven symbolize heaven.

The Tabernacle symbolizes the celestial church because the Most Ancient Church, being impelled by love toward the Lord, was a celestial church and held sacred worship in tents. And the Ancient Church was a spiritual church and held sacred worship in temples.

Tents used wood in their construction, while temples used stone, and wood symbolizes goodness, and stone truth.

[2] That the Tabernacle symbolizes the Lord's Divine humanity in respect to Divine love, and a heaven and a church that is impelled by love toward the Lord, can be seen from the following passages:

Jehovah, who may abide in Your tabernacle? Who may dwell in Your holy mountain? He who walks uprightly, and practices righteousness, and speaks the truth... (Psalms 15:1-2)

(Jehovah) shall hide me in His tabernacle; in the secret place of His tabernacle He shall conceal me; He shall set me high... (Psalms 27:4-5)

I will abide in Your tabernacle forever. (Psalms 61:4)

Look upon Zion...; let your eyes behold Jerusalem, a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that will not be dispelled... (Isaiah 33:20)

(Jehovah) who... spreads (the heavens) out like a tent to dwell in. (Isaiah 40:22)

...you have made Jehovah..., the Most High, your dwelling place..., no plague shall come near your tent. (Psalms 91:9-10)

(Jehovah) set (His) tabernacle among (them).... (He) will walk among (them).... (Leviticus 26:11-12)

(Jehovah) forsook the tent of Shiloh, the tabernacle in which He dwelled among men. (Psalms 78:60)

I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them...." (Revelation 21:3)

...My tabernacle has been laid waste... (Jeremiah 4:20; 10:20)

He shall... pluck you out of your tent, and uproot you from the land of the living. (Psalms 52:5)

And so on elsewhere, as in Isaiah 16:5; 54:2, Jeremiah 30:18, Lamentations 2:4, Hosea 9:6; 12:9, Zechariah 12:7.

[3] Since the Most Ancient Church, which was a celestial church, being impelled by love toward the Lord and being thus in conjunction with Him, held sacred worship in tents, therefore by the Lord's command Moses erected a tent or tabernacle, in which everything relating to heaven and the church was represented. And it was so holy that no one was permitted to enter except Moses, Aaron, and Aaron's sons; and if any of the people were to do so, they would die (Numbers 17:12-13; 18:1, 22-23; 19:14-19).

Inmostly in that tabernacle, containing the two tables of the Decalogue, was the Ark, on which was the mercy seat and over it the cherubim. And outside the veil was the table holding the showbread, the altar of incense, and the lampstand having seven lamps. All of these things were representative objects relating to heaven and the church. The tabernacle itself is described in Exodus 26:7-16; 36:8-37.

We also read that the design of the Tabernacle was shown to Moses upon Mount Sinai (Exodus 25:9; 26:30); and whatever he was given to see from heaven is a representation relating to heaven and the church.

In memory of the most ancient people's sacred worship of the Lord in tents, and of their conjunction with Him through love, Israel was commanded to observe the Feast of Tabernacles, as recorded in Leviticus 23:39-44, Deuteronomy 16:13-14.
