Izlazak 27

Studie

   

1 I načini oltar od drveta sitima, pet lakata u dužinu i pet lakata u širinu, četvorouglast da bude oltar, tri lakta visok.

2 I na četiri ugla načini mu rogove, iz njega da izlaze rogovi, i okovaćeš ga u bronzu.

3 I načinićeš mu lonce za pepeo i lopatice i kotliće i viljuške i mašice; sve mu posuđe načini od bronze.

4 I načini mu rešetku od bronze kao mrežu, i načini u rešetke četiri biočuga od bronze na četiri ugla njena.

5 I metni je ispod oltara unaokolo, da bude rešetka do sredine oltara.

6 Načini i poluge oltaru, poluge od drveta sitima, i okuj ih u bronzu.

7 I poluge da se provuku kroz biočuge, da budu poluge s dve strane oltaru, kad se nosi.

8 Načinićeš ga od dasaka da bude iznutra šupalj; kao što ti je pokazano na gori tako neka načine.

9 I načinićeš trem šatoru na južnoj strani; zavesi tremu da budu od tankog platna uzvedenog, sto lakata u dužinu na jednoj strani.

10 I dvadeset stupova i pod njih dvadeset stopica od bronze, a kuke na stupovima i pasovi njihovi od srebra.

11 Tako i sa zapadne strane da budu zavesi sto lakata dugi, i dvadeset stupova i dvadeset stopica od bronze, na stupovima kuke i njihovi pasovi od srebra.

12 A širina će tremu imati sa zapadne strane zavese od pedeset lakata, deset stupova za njih i deset stopica pod njih.

13 A na prednjoj strani prema istoku biće trem širok pedeset lakata.

14 Od petnaest lakata neka budu zavesi na jednoj strani, i za njih tri stupa i tri stopice pod njih;

15 Na drugoj strani zavesi od petnaest lakata, i tri stupa za njih i tri stopice pod njih.

16 A nad vratima od trema zaves od dvadeset lakata od porfire i od skerleta i od crvca i od tankog platna uzvedenog, vezen, i četiri stupa za nj, i pod njih četiri stopice.

17 Svi stupovi u tremu unaokolo da budu opasani srebrom, i kuke da su im srebrne a stopice od bronze.

18 U dužinu će trem imati sto lakata, u širinu pedeset svuda, a u visinu pet lakata, da bude od tankog platna uzvedenog, a stopice od bronze.

19 Sve posuđe u šatoru za svaku službu, i sve kolje u njemu i sve kolje u tremu da bude od bronze.

20 I ti zapovedi sinovima Izrailjevim da ti donesu ulja maslinovog čistog ceđenog za videlo, da bi žišci goreli svagda.

21 U šatoru od sastanka pred zavesom, koji će zaklanjati svedočanstvo, neka ih Aron i sinovi njegovi spremaju da gore od večera do jutra pred Gospodom. To neka je uredba večna kolenima njihovim među sinovima Izrailjevim.

31. That 'the great lights' mean love and faith, and are also mentioned as the sun, the moon, and the stars, is clear from various places in the Prophets, as in Ezekiel,

When I have blotted you out, I will cover the heavens and darken their stars, I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon will not give its light. All the bright lights in the heavens I will make dark over you, and I will put darkness over your land. Ezekiel 32:7-8.

This refers to Pharaoh and the Egyptians, who are used in the Word to mean the sensory and the factual. The meaning here is that they will have blotted out love and faith by means of sensory evidence and factual knowledge. In Isaiah,

The day of Jehovah for making the earth a desolation; for the stars of the heavens and their constellations 1 will not give their light; the sun will be darkened in its rising, and the moon will not shed its light. Isaiah 13:9-10.

In Joel,

The day of Jehovah is coming, a day of darkness and thick darkness. The earth quakes before Him, the heavens tremble, the sun and moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining. Joel 2:10.

[2] In Isaiah, in reference to the Lord's Coming and the enlightenment of gentiles, and so to a new Church, in particular to individuals who are in darkness but who are beginning to receive the light and be regenerated,

Arise, shine, for your light has come. Behold, darkness is covering the earth, and thick darkness the peoples, but Jehovah will arise upon you, and nations will walk towards your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising. Jehovah will be for you an everlasting light; your sun will no more go down nor your moon be withdrawn, for Jehovah will be for you an everlasting light. Isaiah 60:1-3, 19-20.

In David,

Jehovah makes the heavens by intelligence, He spreads out the earth upon the waters, He makes the great lights, the sun to have dominion over the day, and the moon and stars to have dominion over the night. Psalms 136:5-9.

And in the same author,

Praise Jehovah, sun and moon, praise Him, all stars of light! Praise Him, heaven of heavens, and waters that are above the heavens! Psalms 148:3-4.

[3] In all of these places 'the lights' mean love and faith. Because the lights represented and meant love and faith in the Lord, the Jewish Church was commanded to keep a light burning all the time from evening till morning, for every command which that Church received was representative of the Lord. Concerning this light it is said,

Command the sons of Israel that they take oil for the light, to cause a lamp to burn continually. In the Tent of Meeting outside the veil which is before the testimony Aaron and his sons shall tend it from evening to morning before Jehovah. [Exodus 27:20-21]

That this means the love and faith which the Lord kindles and causes to shine in the internal man, and by means of the internal man in the external man, will in the Lord's Divine mercy be shown at that point in Exodus.
