1 A ti uzmi k sebi Arona, brata svog sa sinovima njegovim između sinova Izrailjevih da mi budu sveštenici, Aron i Nadav i Avijud i Eleazar i Itamar, sinovi Aronovi.

2 I načini svete haljine Aronu, bratu svom, za čast i diku.

3 I kaži svim ljudima veštim, koje sam napunio duha mudrosti, neka načine haljine Aronu, da se posveti da mi bude sveštenik.

4 A ovo su haljine što će načiniti: naprsnik i oplećak i plašt, košulja vezena, kapa i pojas. Te haljine svete neka naprave Aronu, bratu tvom i sinovima njegovim, da mi budu sveštenici,

5 I neka uzmu zlata i porfire i skerleta i crvca i tankog platna;

6 I neka načine oplećak od zlata i od porfire i od skerleta i od crvca i od tankog platna uzvedenog, vezen.

7 Dve poramenice neka budu na njemu, koje će se sastavljati na dva kraja, da se drži zajedno.

8 A pojas na njemu neka bude naprave iste kao i on, od zlata, od porfire, od skerleta, od crvca i od tankog platna uzvedenog.

9 I uzmi dva kamena oniha, i na njima izreži imena sinova Izrailjevih,

10 Šest imena njihovih na jednom kamenu, a Šest imena ostalih na drugom kamenu po redu kako se koji rodio.

11 Veštinom kamenarskom, kojom se režu pečati, izrezaćeš na ta dva kamena imena sinova Izrailjevih, i optoči ih zlatom unaokolo.

12 I metni ta dva kamena na poramenice oplećku, da budu kameni za spomen sinovima Izrailjevim, i Aron da nosi imena njihova pred Gospodom na oba ramena svoja za spomen.

13 I načini kopče od zlata.

14 I dva lanca od čistog zlata načini jednaka pletena, i obesi lance pletene o kopče.

15 I naprsnik sudski načini naprave vezene onakve kao oplećak, od zlata, od porfire, od skerleta, od crvca i od tankog platna uzvedenog načini ga.

16 Neka bude četvorouglast i dvostruk, u dužinu s pedi i u širinu s pedi.

17 I udari po njemu drago kamenje, u četiri reda neka bude kamenje. U prvom redu: sardoniks, topaz i smaragd;

18 A u drugom redu: karbunkul, safir i dijamant;

19 A u trećem redu; ligur i ahat i ametist;

20 A u četvrtom redu: hrisolit, onih i jaspis; neka budu ukovani u zlato u svom redu.

21 I tih kamena s imenima sinova Izrailjevih biće dvanaest po imenima njihovim, da budu rezani kao pečat, svaki sa svojim imenom, za dvanaest plemena.

22 I na naprsnik metni lance jednake, pletene, od čistog zlata.

23 I dve grivne zlatne načini na naprsnik, i metni dve grivne na dva kraja naprsniku.

24 Pa provuci dva lanca zlatna kroz dve grivne na krajevima naprsniku.

25 A druga dva kraja od dva lanca zapni za dve kopče, i metni na poramenice od oplećka spred.

26 I načini druge dve grivne zlatne, i metni ih na druga dva kraja naprsniku iznutra na strani koja je od oplećka.

27 I načini još dve zlatne grivne, i metni ih na poramenice od oplećka ozdo prema sastavcima njegovim, više pojasa na oplećku.

28 Tako neka vežu naprsnik grivne njegove za grivne na oplećku vrpcom od porfire, da stoji nad pojasom od oplećka, i da se ne odvaja naprsnik od oplećka.

29 I neka nosi Aron imena sinova Izrailjevih na naprsniku sudskom na srcu svom kad ulazi u svetinju za spomen pred Gospodom vazda.

30 I metni na naprsnik sudski Urim i Tumim, da bude na srcu Aronu kad ulazi pred Gospoda, i Aron će nositi sud sinova Izrailjevih na srcu svom pred Gospodom vazda.

31 I načini plašt pod oplećak sav od porfire.

32 I ozgo neka bude prorez u sredi, i neka bude optočen prorez svuda unaokolo trakom tkan, kao prorez u oklopa, da se ne razdre.

33 A po skutu mu načini šipke od porfire i od skerleta i od crvca svuda unaokolo, i među njima zlatna zvonca svuda unaokolo:

34 Zvonce zlatno pa šipak, zvonce zlatno pa šipak po skutu od plašta svuda unaokolo.

35 I to će biti na Aronu kad služi, da se čuje glas kad ulazi u svetinju pred Gospoda i kad izlazi, da ne pogine.

36 I načini ploču od čistog zlata, i na njoj izreži kao na pečatu: Svetinja Gospodu.

37 I veži je vrpcom od porfire za kapu, spred na kapi da stoji.

38 I biće na čelu Aronovom, da nosi Aron grehe svetih prinosa koje prinesu sinovi Izrailjevi u svim darovima svojih svetih prinosa; biće na čelu njegovom vazda, da bi bili mili Gospodu.

39 I načini košulju od tankog platna izmetanog, i načini kapu od tankog platna, a pojas načini vezen.

40 I sinovima Aronovim načini košulje, i načini im pojase, i kapice im načini za čast i diku.

41 Pa to obuci Aronu bratu svom i sinovima njegovim, i pomaži ih i napuni im ruke i posveti ih da mi budu sveštenici.

42 I načini im gaće lanene, da se pokrije golo telo; od bedara do dna stegna da budu.

43 I to neka je na Aronu i na sinovima njegovim kad ulaze u šator od sastanka ili kad pristupaju k oltaru da služe u svetinji, da ne bi noseći grehe poginuli. Ovo će biti uredba večna njemu i semenu njegovom nakon njega.

576. Having breastplates fiery, hyacinthine, and brimstone-like, signifies reasonings combating from the cupidities of the love of self and of the world, and from the falsities therefrom. This is evident from the signification of breastplates, as being armor for war, and in particular, defenses in combats (of which above, n. 557; also from the signification of "fire or fiery," as being the cupidity of the love of self, and thence of all evil (See above, n. 504; also from the signification of "hyacinth or hyacinthine," as being the cupidity of the love of the world and thus of all falsity (of which presently); and from the signification of "brimstone or brimstone-like," as being the lust of destroying the goods and truths of the church by falsities of evil see below, n. 578, here meaning falsity burning from these two loves. From this it can be seen that "breastplates fiery, hyacinthine, and brimstone-like," signify reasonings combating from the cupidities of the loves of self and of the world, and from the falsities from those loves.

[2] In regard to "hyacinthine," it signifies in the spiritual sense the heavenly love of truth, but in the contrary sense the diabolical love of falsity, and also love of the world; as can be seen from its being of the color of heaven, and that color signifies truth from a heavenly origin, so in the contrary sense, falsity from a diabolical origin. In the spiritual world the choicest colors appear; and these have their origin in good and truth; for colors there are modifications of heavenly light, thus of the intelligence and wisdom, that are with the angels in heaven. This is why hyacinthine, purple, and scarlet double-dyed were interwoven in the curtains of the tabernacle and in the garments of Aaron; for the tabernacle represented the heaven of the Lord, and the garments of Aaron the Divine truth of heaven and the church, and those things of which the tabernacle was constructed, and of which the garments of Aaron were woven, represented celestial and spiritual things, which are of Divine good and Divine truth.

[3] Thus:

The veil before the ark was of hyacinthine, purple, and scarlet double-dyed, and fine twined linen (See Exodus 26:31).

Likewise the screen for the door of the tent (verse 36).

And the screen for the entrance of the court (Exodus 27:16).

The loops on the edge of the curtain of the tent were hyacinthine (Exodus 26:4);

The ephod was of gold, hyacinthine, purple, and scarlet double-dyed interwoven (Exodus 28:6);

And also the breastplate of judgment (verse 15);

When the camp set forward in the wilderness, Aaron and his sons spread a cloth of hyacinthine over the ark, over the table of faces, over the lampstand and the lamps, over the golden altar, and over all the vessels of ministry (Numbers 4:6, 7, 9, 11, 12).

This is because Divine truth proceeding from Divine love, which is signified by "the cloth of hyacinthine," embraces and protects all the holy things of heaven and the church, which the things covered represent.

[4] Because "hyacinthine" signified the celestial love of truth, it was commanded:

That the sons of Israel should make for themselves a fringe in the borders of their garments, and should put on it a cord of hyacinthine, that in looking upon it they might remember all the commandments of Jehovah and do them (Numbers 15:38, 39).

Here "the cord of hyacinthine" stands evidently for the remembrance of the commandments of Jehovah; the commandments of Jehovah are the essential truths of heaven and the church, and these are remembered only by such as are in a celestial love of truth.

[5] That "hyacinthine" signifies the love of truth can be seen from the following in Ezekiel:

Fine linen in broidered work from Egypt was thy spreading forth, to be for thy ensign; hyacinthine and purple from the isles of Elishah was thy covering. These were thy traffickers with choice wares, with bales of hyacinthine and broidered work, and with treasures of precious garments (Ezekiel 27:7, 24).

This is said of Tyre, which signifies the church in respect to the knowledges of truth; so, too, it signifies the knowledges of truth belonging to the church, and her "merchandise and tradings" mentioned in this chapter describe the acquisition of intelligence by means of such knowledges; "broidered work from Egypt" signifies the knowledge [scientia] of such things as are of the church; and because this has a lower place, and is thus round about or without, it is called "a spreading forth," and is said to be "for an ensign." "Hyacinthine and purple from the isles of Elishah" signify the spiritual affection of truth and good; therefore these are said to be "for a covering," a "covering" signifying truth. "Bales of hyacinthine and broidered work" signify all truths, spiritual and natural, and these together with the knowledges from the Word are meant by "the treasures of precious garments."

[6] As "hyacinthine" signifies the heavenly love of truth, so in the contrary sense it signifies the diabolical love of falsity; and in that sense also "hyacinthine" is mentioned in the Word. Thus in Ezekiel:

Two women, the daughters of one mother, committed whoredom in Egypt in their youth. Oholah which is Samaria, and Oholibah which is Jerusalem. And Oholah committed whoredom while under me, and she doted on her lovers, the Assyrians her neighbors, which were clothed in hyacinthine, governors and rulers, all of them young men of desire, horsemen riding upon horses (Ezekiel 23:2-6).

Here "Samaria" and "Jerusalem" signify the church, "Samaria" the spiritual church, and "Jerusalem" the celestial church, which are called "Oholah" and "Oholibah" because these names mean a "tent," and a "tent" signifies the church in respect to worship; "woman" also in the Word signifies the church; "they committed whoredom in Egypt" signifies the falsification of the truths of the church by the knowledges [scientifica] of the natural man; "she doted on the Assyrians" signifies the falsification by reasonings from those knowledges [scientifica]; "Asshur and Assyria" signify reasonings; they are said to be "clothed in hyacinthine" by reason of fallacies and falsities, which in external form appear to be truths because they are from the sense of the letter of the Word wrongly applied. And because of this same appearance they are also called "governors and rulers, young men of desire, riding upon horses," for those who reason from self-intelligence appear to themselves and to others of like character to be intelligent and wise, and the things they speak to be truths of intelligence and goods of wisdom, when yet they are falsities which they love because they are from what is their own [proprium]; "governors and rulers" signify principal truths, and "those riding upon horses" signify the intelligent.

[7] In Jeremiah:

Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the workman and of the hands of the refiner; their garments 1 are hyacinthine and purple; all are the work of the wise (Jeremiah 10:9).

This treats of the idols of the house of Israel, which signify doctrinals that are false, because they are from self-intelligence; therefore they are called "the work of the workman and of the hands of the refiner, and all the work of the wise," and this because these doctrinals appear to them to be truths and goods; "silver from Tarshish and gold from Uphaz," signifies what appears in external form to be truth and good, because from the sense of the letter of the Word. From this it can be seen that "hyacinthine" signifies the love of what is false because it is from self [proprium] or from self-intelligence. "Hyacinthine" also signifies the love of the world, because the love of the world corresponds to the love of falsity, as the love of self, which is signified by "fire," corresponds to the love of evil; for all evil is from the love of self, and all falsity is from the love of the world which has its origin in the love of self; for spiritual evil, which is meant by the love of the world, is in its essence falsity, as spiritual good is in its essence truth (See in the work on Heaven and Hell 15).
