Izlazak 25

Studie

   

1 I Gospod reče Mojsiju govoreći:

2 Reci sinovima Izrailjevim da mi skupe prilog: od svakog koji drage volje da, uzmite prilog meni.

3 A ovo je prilog što ćete uzimati od njih, zlato i srebro i bronzu,

4 I porfiru i skerlet i crvac i tanko platno i kostret,

5 I kože ovnujske crvene obojene, i kože jazavičije, i drvo sitim,

6 Ulje za videlo, mirise za Ulje pomazanja i za mirisavi kad,

7 Kamenje onihovo i Kamenje za ukivanje na oplećak i naprsnik.

8 I neka mi načine svetinju, da među njima nastavam;

9 Kao što ću ti pokazati sliku od šatora i sliku od svih stvari njegovih, tako da načinite.

10 Neka načine kovčeg od drveta sitima, u dužinu od dva lakta i po, a u širinu od podrug lakta, i u visinu od podrug lakta.

11 I pokuj ga čistim zlatom, iznutra i spolja pokuj ga; i ozgo mu načini zlatan venac unaokolo.

12 I salij mu četiri biočuga od zlata, i metni mu ih na četiri ugla, da mu s jedne strane budu dva biočuga i s druge strane dva biočuga.

13 I načini poluge od drveta sitima, i okuj ih u zlato.

14 I provuci poluge kroz biočuge s obe strane kovčegu, da se o njima nosi kovčeg;

15 U biočuzima na kovčegu neka stoje poluge, da se ne vade iz njih.

16 Pa u kovčeg metni svedočanstvo, koje ću ti dati.

17 I načini zaklopac od čistog zlata, u dužinu od dva lakta i po, a u širinu od podrug lakta.

18 I načini dva heruvima zlatna, jednostavne ih načini, na dva kraja zaklopcu.

19 I načini heruvima jednog na jednom kraju a drugog heruvima na drugom kraju; na zaklopcu načinite dva heruvima na oba kraja.

20 I neka heruvimi rašire krila u vis da zaklanjaju krilima zaklopac, i neka budu licem okrenuti jedan drugom, prema zaklopcu neka su okrenuta lica heruvimima.

21 I metnućeš zaklopac ozgo na kovčeg, a u kovčeg ćeš metnuti svedočanstvo koje ću ti dati.

22 I tu ću se sastajati s tobom i govoriću ti ozgo sa zaklopca između dva heruvima, koji će biti na kovčegu od svedočanstva, sve što ću ti zapovedati za sinove Izrailjeve.

23 Načini i sto od drveta sitima, u dužinu od dva lakta, a u širinu od jednog lakta, a u visinu od podrug lakta.

24 I pokuj ga čistim zlatom, i načini mu venac zlatan unaokolo.

25 I načini mu oplatu unaokolo s podlanice, i načini zlatan venac oko oplate.

26 I načini mu četiri biočuga od zlata, i metni mu te biočuge na četiri ugla koji će mu biti kod četiri noge.

27 Pod oplatom neka budu biočuzi, da u njima stoje poluge da se nosi sto.

28 A poluge načini od drveta sitima, i okuj ih zlatom da se o njima nosi sto.

29 I načini mu zdele i čaše i vedra i kotliće, kojima će se prelivati, a načinićeš ih od čistog zlata.

30 I metaćeš na sto hlebove, da su postavljeni svagda preda mnom.

31 I načini svećnjak od čistog zlata, jednostavan neka bude svećnjak; stup i grane i čašice, jabuke, i cvetovi neka budu u njega.

32 A šest grana neka mu izlazi sa strana, tri grane s jedne strane svećnjaka a tri grane s druge strane svećnjaka.

33 Tri čašice kao badem neka budu na jednoj grani i jabuka i cvet, i Tri čašice kao badem i jabuka i cvet na drugoj grani; tako neka bude na šest grana što izlaze iz svećnjaka.

34 I na samom svećnjaku neka budu četiri čašice kao badem i jabuke i cvetovi.

35 Jedna jabuka pod dve grane što izlaze iz njega, i jedna jabuka pod druge dve grane što izlaze iz njega, i jedna jabuka pod druge dve grane što izlaze iz njega; tako će biti pod šest grana što će izlaziti iz svećnjaka;

36 Jabuke i grane njihove iz njega neka izlaze; sve jednostavno od čistog zlata.

37 I načinićeš mu sedam žižaka, i palićeš ih da svetle sa svake strane;

38 I usekači i spremice za gar neka budu od čistog zlata.

39 Od talanta čistog zlata neka bude načinjen sa svim tim spravama.

40 I gledaj, te načini sve ovo po slici koja ti je pokazana na gori.

3300. 'And the first came out, ruddy all over, like a hairy garment' 1 means good constituting the life of natural truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'coming out' as being born, from the meaning of 'ruddy' as good constituting the life, dealt with below, and from the meaning of 'a hairy garment' as the truth of the natural, also dealt with below. His being 'the first' means that in essence good is prior, as stated above in 3299. It is also called 'a hairy garment' so as to mean that good was clothed with truth as in a thin casing or body, as also stated above in 3299. In the Word 'a tunic' means nothing else in the internal sense than something that clothes another thing, and that also is why truths are compared to garments, 1073, 2576.

[2] The reason why 'ruddy' or 'red' means good constituting the life is that all good flows from love, and love itself is celestial and spiritual fire. Love is also compared to and actually called fire, see 933-936, as well as being compared to and actually called blood, 1001. Because both fire and blood are red, good that flows from love is meant by 'ruddy' and 'red', as may also be seen from the following places in the Word: In the prophecy of Jacob, who by then was Israel,

He will wash his clothing in wine and his garment in the blood of grapes. His eyes will be redder than wine, and his teeth whiter than milk. Genesis 49:11-12.

This refers to Judah, who is used here to mean the Lord, as may be clear to anyone. 'Clothing' here and 'garment' are the Lord's Divine Natural. 'wine' and 'the blood of grapes' are the Divine Good and Divine Truth of the Natural - Divine Good being spoken of as 'eyes redder than wine', and Divine Truth as 'teeth whiter than milk'. It is the joining together of good and truth within the Natural that is described in this fashion.

[3] In Isaiah,

Who is this who is coming from Edom, red as to his clothing, and his clothes like his that treads in the winepress? Isaiah 63:1-2.

Here 'Edom' stands for the Divine Good of the Lord's Divine Natural, as will be evident later on. 'Red as to clothing' is the good of truth, and 'clothes like his that treads in the winepress' the truth of good. In Jeremiah,

Her Nazirites were brighter than snow, they were whiter than milk. They were ruddier in body 2 than rubies, polished like sapphire. 3 Lamentations 4:7.

'Nazirites' represented the Lord's Divine Human, in particular the Divine Natural, and so the good of the latter was represented by their being 'ruddier in body than rubies'.

[4] Because 'red' meant good, in particular the good of the natural, the Jewish Church - in which every single thing was representative of the Lord, and from this of His kingdom, and consequently of good and truth which are the source of the Lord's kingdom - was therefore commanded to have a covering for the tabernacle of red-rams' skins, Exodus 25:5; 26:14; 35:5-7, 23; 36:19. That Church was also commanded to prepare the water for making atonement from the ashes of the red heifer that had been burnt, Numbers 19:2 and following verses. Unless the colour red had been a sign of something heavenly in the Lord's kingdom, it would never have been commanded that the rams should be red and that the heifer should be red. The fact that they represented sacred things anyone acknowledges who considers the Word to be sacred. Because the colour red had that meaning, therefore also the coverings of the Tabernacle were interwoven with, and had loops made of, scarlet, purple, and violet yarn, Exodus 35:6.

[5] Seeing that almost everything also has a contrary sense, as often stated, so too has 'red'. In the contrary sense 'red' means evil that is the outcome of self-love, the reasons for this being that the desires belonging to self-love are compared to and actually called fire, 934 (end), 1297, 1527, 1528, 1861, 2446, and are likewise compared to and actually called blood, 374, 954, 1005. Consequently 'red' in the contrary sense means those things, as in Isaiah,

Jehovah said, Though your sins are like scarlet, they will be white as snow. Though they are red as crimson, 4 they will be as wool. Isaiah 1:18.

In Nahum,

The shields of the mighty men of Belial have been made red, the mighty men are in crimson!; enveloped in the fire of torches are the chariots on the day [of preparation]. Nahum 2:3.

In John,

Another sign appeared in heaven, Behold, a great fiery-red dragon having seven heads, and on his heads seven jewels. Revelation 12:3.

In the same book,

I saw, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow; to him a crown was given; he went out conquering and to conquer. Then there came out another horse, fiery-red; and he who sat on the horse was permitted to take peace away from the earth, and so that men would slay one another. Therefore to him was given a great sword. After that a black horse came out, and at length a pale horse, whose name is death. Revelation 6:2-8.
