Izlazak 31

Studie

   

1 I reče Gospod Mojsiju govoreći:

2 Gle, pozvah po imenu Veseleila sina Urije sina Orovog od plemena Judinog.

3 I napunih ga Duha Svetog, mudrosti i razuma i znanja i svake veštine,

4 Da vešto izmišlja kako se šta može načiniti od zlata i od srebra i od bronze,

5 Da ume rezati kamenje i ukivati, da ume tesati drvo, i svaki posao raditi.

6 I evo udružih s njim Elijava, sina Ahisamahovog od plemena Danovog, i svakom veštom čoveku u srce dadoh veštinu da izrade sve što sam ti zapovedio.

7 Šator od sastanka, i kovčeg za svedočanstvo i zaklopac na nj, i sve sprave u šatoru,

8 I sto i sprave njegove, i svećnjak čisti sa svim spravama njegovim, i oltar kadioni,

9 I oltar za žrtvu paljenicu sa svim spravama njegovim, i umivaonicu i podnožje njeno,

10 I haljine službene i svete haljine Aronu svešteniku i haljine sinovima njegovim, da vrše službu svešteničku,

11 I ulje pomazanja, i kad mirisni za svetinju. Sve neka načine onako kako sam ti zapovedio.

12 I reče Gospod Mojsiju govoreći:

13 A ti kaži sinovima Izrailjevim i reci: Ali subote moje čuvajte, jer je znak između mene i vas od kolena do kolena, da znate da sam ja Gospod koji vas posvećujem.

14 Čuvajte dakle subotu, jer vam je sveta; ko bi je oskvrnio, da se pogubi; jer ko bi god radio kakav posao u nju, istrebiće se ona duša iz naroda svog.

15 Šest dana neka se radi; a sedmi je dan subota, odmor, svet Gospodu; ko bi god radio posao u dan subotni, da se pogubi.

16 Zato će čuvati sinovi Izrailjevi subotu praznujući subotu od kolena do kolena zavetom večnim.

17 To je znak između mene i sinova Izrailjevih doveka; jer je za šest dana stvorio Gospod nebo i zemlju, a u sedmi dan počinu i odmori se.

18 I izgovorivši ovo Mojsiju na gori Sinajskoj, dade mu dve ploče svedočanstva, ploče kamene pisane prstom Božijim.

10332. 'To compose designs, to work in gold, and in silver, and in bronze' means in order to represent the interior and the exterior forms of good and truth that constitute an understanding animated by the will, thus that constitute faith springing from love. This is clear from the meaning of 'composing designs', or inventing devices, as that which is a product of the understanding, dealt with in 9598, 9688; from the meaning of 'working' as that which is a product of the will, dealt with in 9282, for what a person does is a product of his will, in this instance of the will operating through the understanding, since it says 'to compose designs, to work ...'; from the meaning of 'gold' as good, and of 'silver' as truth, dealt with in 1551, 1552, 5658, 6914, 6917, 8932, 9490, 9881, 9874; and from the meaning of 'bronze' as the good of the natural or external man, dealt with in 425, 1551. Consequently interior and exterior forms of good and truth are meant by 'gold, silver, and bronze', interior good by 'gold', interior and exterior truth by 'silver', and external good by 'bronze'. The reason why that which is representative of these forms of good and truth is what is meant is that the representative Church is the subject, and all the things that Bezalel was going to make were representative.

[2] From all this it is evident that 'to compose designs, to work in gold, in silver, and in bronze' means in order to represent interior and exterior forms of good and truth that constitute an understanding animated by the will. The reason why they are also those that constitute faith springing from love is that truths belong to faith, and truths have connection with the understanding, while forms of good belong to love, and forms of good have connection with the will. The expressions 'an understanding animated by the will' and 'faith springing from love' are used because the understanding is nothing at all unless it is animated by the will. For what a person understands but does not also will is not an understanding that is his own but that of another within him; and as a consequence that understanding fades away. But it is different when the understanding is animated by the will; it is then that of the person himself, because the will is the person himself. The like applies to the faith and love; for as has been stated, the truths of faith have connection with the understanding, and forms of the good of love with the will.
