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.

9776. 'And as for all the vessels of the dwelling-place, in all [its] service' means the truths and the forms of good on the level of factual knowledge which the external man possesses. This is clear from the meaning of 'the vessels' as factual knowledge, dealt with in 3068, 3079, 9394, 9544; from the meaning of 'the dwelling-place' as heaven, dealt with in 9594, 9596, 9632; and from the meaning of 'service' as the external or natural level in a person, dealt with in 3019, 3020, 5305, 7998. The external or natural level in a person is a servant because it ought to serve the internal or spiritual level in a person. For the human being has been created to conform to an image of heaven and to an image of the world, the internal or spiritual man to an image of heaven and the external or natural man to an image of the world, 9279. Just as the world ought to serve heaven, so the external or natural level in a person ought to serve his internal or spiritual. The external has also been created to be a servant; for it has no life of its own and so cannot do anything by itself. It is dependent on the internal or spiritual, that is, through this on the Lord. From this it is also evident that the external or natural level in a person is not anything unless it is a servant to the internal or spiritual, and that so far as it does serve the internal it is something. To be a servant is to be obedient, and the external is obedient when it does not take ideas stored in the understanding and use them as reasons to justify the evils of self-love and love of the world, but complies with reason and the teachings of the Church which dictate that what is good and true should be done not for selfish and worldly reasons but for goodness and truth's own sake. When all this is so, the Lord - acting through the person's heaven, that is, through the person's internal man - is the doer of those things. For all goodness and truth spring from the Lord, so much so that what is good and true in anyone is the Lord Himself. From all this it becomes clear why it is that the external man must be a servant to the internal.
