Izlazak 35

Studie

   

1 Potom sabra Mojsije sav zbor sinova Izrailjevih, i reče im: Ovo je zapovedio Gospod da činite:

2 Šest dana da se radi, a sedmi da vam je svet, subota počivanja Gospodnjeg; ko bi radio u taj dan, da se pogubi.

3 Vatre ne ložite po stanovima svojim u dan subotni.

4 Još reče Mojsije svemu zboru sinova Izrailjevih govoreći: Ovo je zapovedio Gospod i rekao:

5 Skupite između sebe prilog Gospodu; ko god hoće drage volje, neka donese prilog Gospodu: zlato i srebro i bronzu,

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

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

8 I ulje za videlo, i mirise za ulje pomazanja i za kad mirisni,

9 I kamenje onihovo, i kamenje za ukivanje po oplećku i po naprsniku.

10 I koji su god vešti među vama neka dođu da rade šta je zapovedio Gospod:

11 Šator, i naslon njegov, i pokrivač njegov, i kuke njegove, i daske njegove, prevornice njegove, stupove njegove i stopice njegove,

12 Kovčeg, i poluge njegove, i zaklopac, i zaves,

13 Sto, i poluge njegove i sve sprave njegove, i hleb za postavljanje,

14 I svećnjak za videlo sa spravama njegovim, i žiške njegove, i ulje za videlo,

15 I oltar kadioni, i poluge njegove, i ulje pomazanja, i kad mirisni, i zaves na vrata od šatora,

16 Oltar za žrtvu paljenicu, i rešetku njegovu od bronze, poluge njegove i sve sprave njegove, umivaonicu i podnožje njeno,

17 Zavese za trem, stupove njegove i stopice njegove, i zaves na vrata od trema,

18 Kolje za šator, i kolje za trem s užima njihovim.

19 Haljine službene za službu u svetinji, i Haljine svete Aronu svešteniku, i Haljine sinovima njegovim za službu svešteničku.

20 Tada otide sav zbor sinova Izrailjevih od Mojsija;

21 I vratiše se, svaki kog podiže srce njegovo i koga god duh pokrete dragovoljno, i donesoše prilog Gospodu za građenje šatora od sastanka i za svu službu u njemu i za haljine svete.

22 Dolaziše ljudi i žene, ko god beše dragovoljnog srca, i donosiše spone i oboce i prstenje i narukvice i svakojake nakite zlatne; i svaki donese prilog zlata Gospodu.

23 Ko god imaše porfire, skerleta, crvca, tankog platna, kostreti, koža ovnujskih crvenih obojenih i koža jazavičijih, svaki donošaše.

24 I ko god prilagaše srebro ili bronzu, donošaše u prilog Gospodu; i u koga god beše drveta sitima, za svaku upotrebu u službi donošaše.

25 I sve žene vešte predoše svojim rukama, i donosiše šta napredoše za porfiru, skerlet, crvac i tanko platno.

26 I sve žene koje podiže srce njihovo i behu vešte, predoše kostret.

27 A glavari donosiše kamenje onihovo i kamenje za ukivanje po oplećku i po naprsniku,

28 I mirise i ulje za videlo i ulje za pomazanje i za kad mirisni.

29 Svi ljudi i žene, koje podiže dragovoljno srce da donose šta treba za sve delo koje Gospod zapovedi preko Mojsija da se načini, donesoše sinovi Izrailjevi dragovoljni prilog Gospodu.

30 Tada reče Mojsije sinovima Izrailjevim: Vidite, Gospod pozva po imenu Veseleila sina Urije sina Orovog od plemena Judinog,

31 I napuni ga duha Božijeg, mudrosti, razuma i znanja i veštine za svaki posao,

32 Da vešto izmišlja kako se šta radi od zlata i srebra i od bronze,

33 Da ume rezati kamenje i ukivati, da ume tesati drvo i raditi svaki posao vrlo vešto.

34 I dade mu u srce, njemu i Elijavu sinu Ahisamahovom od plemena Danovog, da mogu učiti druge.

35 Napuni ih veštine da rade svaki posao, da kuju, tešu, vezu, i tkaju porfiru, skerlet, crvac i tanko platno, i da rade svakojake poslove vešto izmišljajući.

Woman

The word "woman" is used a number of different ways in the Bible – as a simple description, as someone connected to a man ("his woman"), as a temptation to the men of Israel (women of other nations) and even as a term of address (Jesus addresses Mary as "woman" twice). There are also various spiritual meanings, and context is important. In most cases, a "woman" in the Bible represents a church, either a true one following the Lord or a false one out to deceive. This follows from the idea that the true character of an organization – or of an individual person – is determined by its goals, its mission, what it cares about most. This is well represented by women, because women are, at their inmost levels, forms of affection and love. Men, by contrast, are forms of thought and intellect, which appear prominent but actually play the secondary role of describing and supporting the defining loves and affections. The most central of a woman's loves and affections is the love of truth. On an individual scale this is central to the union between a wife and a husband: She loves his intellect and ideas, and blends them with her own to produce acts of love and kindness; meanwhile her love inspires him to seek more true ideas and greater wisdom so those acts of love and kindness can be ever better. The relationship between the church and the Lord is different, obviously, because the Lord is perfect love and perfect wisdom in balance, and is ultimately both masculine and feminine. The church is also not specifically feminine, being made up of men and women working in harmony. Even so, the defining aspect of a church is its love for truth, and how it receives ideas from the Lord. So while "woman" sometimes represents a church in general, it can also represents the love of truth that exists in that church, or the love of truth itself. Not all churches are true, of course. The reason the people of Israel were so strongly forbidden to intermarry with the people that surrounded them was that the foreign women represented false churches and false beliefs. And for an Israeli woman to take a foreign husband represented introducing falsity into the Israeli church. Two other uses of "woman" are more limited, primarily to the Book of Genesis. One of them is Eve, the first woman, formed from the rib of Adam. In that story Adam represents the Most Ancient Church, and the woman represents what the Writings call the "proprium," a sense of self, of identity, of control that the Lord gave to people of the church at that time. In a way this fits with the more general representation, because the love of truth is an important way we can feel a sense of power in our own spiritual growth, but the representation of Eve is relatively unique. Much of the rest of Genesis is dealing rather directly with the Lord's own development during his childhood on earth. Since the Lord thought and felt more deeply than we can possibly imagine, the women in this stories – Sarah, Rebecca, Leah, Rachel and others – represent true ideas themselves, rather than affections for truth.
