Izlazak 39

Studie

   

1 A od porfire i skerleta i crvca načiniše haljine za službu, da se služi u svetinji; i načiniše svete haljine Aronu, kao što beše zapovedio Gospod Mojsiju.

2 Načiniše oplećak od zlata, i od porfire i od skerleta i od crvca i od tankog platna uzvedenog.

3 Istegliše listove od zlata, i isekoše žice, te izvezoše porfiru i skerlet i crvac i tanko platno vrlo vešto.

4 Poramenice mu načiniše da se sastavljaju, da se sastavlja na dva kraja svoja.

5 I pojas na oplećku izlažaše od njega i beše iste naprave, od zlata i od porfire i od skerleta i od crvca i od tankog platna uzvedenog; kao što beše zapovedio Gospod Mojsiju.

6 I ukovaše dva kamena oniha u zlato, i izrezaše na njima imena sinova Izrailjevih, kao što se režu pečati.

7 I udariše ih na poramenice od oplećka, da budu kameni za spomen sinovima Izrailjevim, kao što beše zapovedio Gospod Mojsiju.

8 I načiniše naprsnik vrlo vešte naprave kao što je naprava u oplećka, od zlata i od porfire i od skerleta i od crvca i od tankog platna uzvedenog;

9 Četvorouglast i dvostruk načiniše naprsnik, u dužinu s pedi i u širinu s pedi, dvostruk.

10 I udariše po njemu četiri reda kamenja; u prvom redu: sardoniks, topaz i smaragd;

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

12 A u trećem redu: ligur, ahat i ametist;

13 A u četvrtom redu: hrisolit, onih i jaspis, sve optočeno zlatom u svojim redovima.

14 Tih kamena s imenima sinova Izrailjevih beše dvanaest prema njihovim imenima, rezani kao pečati, za dvanaest plemena, svako po svom imenu.

15 I načiniše na naprsnik lance jednake, pletene, od čistog zlata.

16 I načiniše dve kopče zlatne i dve grivne zlatne, i metnuše te dve grivne na dva kraja naprsniku,

17 I provukoše dva zlatna lanca kroz dve grivne na krajevima naprsniku,

18 A druga dva kraja od dva lanca zapeše za dve kopče, i pritvrdiše ih za poramenice na oplećku spred.

19 I načiniše još dve zlatne grivne, i metnuše ih na dva kraja naprsniku, na strani prema oplećku iznutra.

20 I načiniše još dve grivne zlatne, koje metnuše na dve poramenice na oplećku ozdo napred gde se sastavlja, više pojasa na oplećku.

21 Tako privezaše naprsnik kroz grivne na njemu i grivne na oplećku vrpcom od porfire, da stoji svrh pojasa od oplećka i da se ne razdvaja naprsnik od oplećka, kao što beše zapovedio Gospod Mojsiju.

22 I načiniše plašt pod oplećak, tkan, sav od porfire.

23 I prorez na plaštu u sredi kao prorez na oklopu, i oko proreza oplatu da se ne razdre.

24 I načiniše po skutu od plašta šipke od porfire i od skerleta i od crvca i od tankog platna uzvedenog.

25 I načiniše zvonca od čistog zlata, i metnuše zvonca među šipke, po skutu od plašta unaokolo između šipaka.

26 Zvonce pa šipak, zvonce pa šipak po skutu od plašta unaokolo, za službu, kao što beše zapovedio Gospod Mojsiju.

27 I načiniše košulje od tankog platna izmetanog Aronu i sinovima njegovim;

28 I kapu od tankog platna, i kapice kićene od tankog platna, i gaće platnene od tankog platna uzvedenog;

29 I pojas od tankog platna uzvedenog i od porfire i od skerleta i od crvca, vezen, kao što beše zapovedio Gospod Mojsiju.

30 I načiniše pločicu za sveto oglavlje od čistog zlata, i napisaše na njoj pismom kako se reže na pečatima: Svetinja Gospodu.

31 I pritvrdiše za nju vrpcu od porfire da se veže za kapu ozgo, kao što beše zapovedio Gospod Mojsiju.

32 I tako se svrši sav posao oko šatora i naslona od sastanka. I načiniše sinovi Izrailjevi sve; kako beše zapovedio Gospod Mojsiju, tako načiniše.

33 I donesoše k Mojsiju šator, naslon i sve sprave njegove, kuke, daske, prevornice, stupove i stopice,

34 I pokrivač od koža ovnujskih crvenih obojenih i pokrivač od koža jazavičijih, i zaves,

35 I kovčeg od svedočanstva i poluge za nj, i zaklopac,

36 Sto sa svim spravama, i hleb za postavljanje,

37 Svećnjak čisti, žiške njegove, žiške naređane, i sve sprave njegove, i ulje za videlo.

38 I oltar zlatni, i ulje pomazanja, i kad mirisni, i zaves na vrata od šatora.

39 Oltar bronzani i rešetku bronzanu za nj, poluge njegove i sve sprave njegove, umivaonicu i podnožje njeno,

40 Zavese za trem, stupove za njih i stopice njihove, i zaves na vrata od trema, uža njegova i kolje njegovo, i sve sprave za službu u šatoru, za šator od sastanka.

41 Haljine za službu, da se služi u svetinji, Haljine svete Aronu svešteniku i Haljine sinovima njegovim, da vrše službu svešteničku.

42 Sve kako beše zapovedio Gospod Mojsiju, onako uradiše sinovi Izrailjevi sve ovo delo.

43 I pogleda Mojsije sve to delo, i gle, načiniše ga, kao što beše zapovedio Gospod, tako ga načiniše; i blagoslovi ih Mojsije.

Apocalypse Explained # 272

/ 1232  
  

272. And they had on their heads golden crowns, signifies all truths arranged into order by Divine good, thus also all the former heavens. This is evident from the signification of "four and twenty elders sitting upon four and twenty thrones, arrayed in white garments," as being all truths of the heavens, thus all the heavens both higher and lower (of which just above, n. 270, 271); also from the signification of a "golden crown," as being Divine good, from which are truths (of which in what follows). All the truths of heaven and of the church are from Divine good; truths that are not therefrom are not truths. Truths that are not from good are like shells without a kernel, and like a house in which no man dwells, but a wild beast; such are the truths that are called truths of faith apart from the good of charity; the good of charity is good from the Lord, thus Divine good. Now as "the elders upon thrones" signify the truths of the heavens, and "golden crowns" the good from which these are, therefore the elders were seen with crowns. The "crowns of kings" have a like signification; for "kings" in a representative sense signify truths, and "crowns" upon their heads signify the good from which the truths are (that "kings" signify truths may be seen above, n. 31. For this reason the crowns are of gold, for "gold" in like manner signifies good (See above. n. 242).

[2] That "crowns" signify good and wisdom therefrom, and that truths are what are crowned, can be seen from the following passages. In David:

I will make the horn to spring forth for David; I will set in order a lamp for Mine anointed; his enemies will I clothe with shame; but upon himself shall his crown blossom (Psalms 132:17-18).

Here "David" and "anointed" mean the Lord (See above, n. 205[1-6]); "horn" His power; "lamp" is the Divine truth from which is Divine intelligence; "Crown" the Divine good from which is Divine wisdom, and from which is the Lord's government; and the "enemies," that shall be clothed with shame, are evils and falsities.

[3] In the same:

Thou showest anger with Thine anointed. Thou hast condemned even to the earth his crown (Psalms 89:38-39).

Here also "anointed" stands for the Lord, and "anger" for a state of temptation, in which He was when in combats with the hells. "Anger" and "condemnation" describe the lamentation at that time, as the Lord's last lamentation on the cross, that He was forsaken; for the cross was the last of His temptations or combats with the hells; and after that last temptation He put on the Divine good of the Divine love, and thus united the Divine Human to the Divine Itself which was in Him.

[4] In Isaiah:

In that day shall Jehovah of Hosts be for a crown of adornment, and for a diadem of splendor, unto the remnant of His people (Isaiah 28:5).

Here "crown of adornment" means wisdom that is of good from the Divine; and "the diadem of splendor" intelligence that is of truth from that good.

[5] In the same:

For Zion's sake will I not be silent, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not be quiet, until her righteousness go forth as brightness, and her salvation as a lamp burneth; and thou shalt be a crown of splendor in the hand of Jehovah, and a royal tiara in the hand of thy God (Isaiah 62:1, 3).

Here "Zion" and "Jerusalem" mean the church, "Zion" the church which is in good, and "Jerusalem" the church which is in truths from that good; therefore it is called "a crown of splendor in the hand of Jehovah," and "a royal tiara in the hand of thy God;" a "crown of splendor" is wisdom that is of good, and a "royal tiara" is intelligence that is of truth; and because "crown" signifies wisdom that is of good it is said to be "in the hand of Jehovah;" and because "tiara" signifies intelligence that is of truth it is said to be "in the hand of God;" for "Jehovah" is used where good is treated of, and "God" where truth is treated of (See Arcana Coelestia 2586, 2769, 6905).

[6] In Jeremiah:

Say to the king and to the mistress, Humble yourselves, sit ye; for your headtire is come down, the crown of your splendor (Jeremiah 13:18);

a "crown of splendor" meaning wisdom that is of good ("splendor" is the Divine truth of the church, Arcana Coelestia 9815).

[7] In the same:

The joy of our heart hath ceased; our dance is turned into mourning; the crown of our head hath fallen (Lamentations 5:15, 16);

"the crown of the head that hath fallen" means the wisdom which those who are of the church have through Divine truth, which wisdom hath ceased, together with internal blessedness.

[8] In Ezekiel:

I put a jewel upon thy nose, and ear-rings on thine ears, and a crown of splendor upon thine head (Ezekiel 16:12).

This refers to Jerusalem, which is the church, here the church at its first establishment; "the jewel upon the nose" signifies the perception of good; and "the ear-rings on the ears" the perception of truth and obedience; and the "crown upon the head" signifies wisdom therefrom.

In Job:

He hath stripped from me the glory, and taken away the crown of my head (Job 19:9);

"glory" meaning intelligence from Divine truth, and a "crown of the head" the wisdom therefrom.

[9] in Revelation:

I saw, and behold a white horse; and He that sat on him had a bow, and there was given unto Him a crown; and He went forth conquering and to conquer (Revelation 6:2).

"The white horse and He that sat on him" is the Lord in respect to the Word; "the bow" is the doctrine of truth by which the combat is waged; from which it is clear that "crown," since it is attributed to the Lord, is the Divine good that He put on even in respect to the human, as a reward of victory.

[10] Again:

Afterwards I saw, and behold a white cloud; and on the cloud One sat like unto the Son of man, having on His head a golden crown, and in His hand a sharp sickle (Revelation 14:14);

a "white cloud" standing for the literal sense of the Word (Arcana Coelestia 4060, 4391, 5922, 6343, 6752, 8281, 8781);

"the Son of man" meaning the Lord in respect to Divine truth;

"the golden crown," the Divine good from which is Divine truth;

and "the sharp sickle," the dispersion of evil and falsity.

[11] That a "crown" is Divine good from which is Divine truth was represented by the plats of gold upon the front of the miter that was upon Aaron, which plate was also called a "crown" and a "coronet;" it is thus described in Exodus:

Thou shalt make a plate of gold, and grave upon it with the engraving of a signet, Holiness to Jehovah; and thou shalt put it on a thread of blue, and it shall be on the miter, over against the face of it (Exodus 28:36, 37).

That this plate was called a "crown of holiness" and a "coronet," see Exodus 39:30; Leviticus 8:9. (But what was specially signified thereby, see Arcana Coelestia 9930-9936, where the particulars are explained.)

Name

  

According to Swedenborg, a person's name in the Bible represents his or her entire spiritual nature, their whole state of love (good or evil) and thought (from heavenly wisdom to infernal insanity). This is why the name of the Lord is so important; it represents and embodies His perfect love and perfect wisdom, which is everything that we should worship and follow. It's easy to see that names are important in the Bible. Jehovah changed Abram and Sarai to Abraham and Sarah, changed Jacob to Israel and included in the Ten Commandments the order that believers "shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain." In the New Testament, Zacharias was told to name John the Baptist "John," and both Joseph (Matthew 1:21) and Mary (Luke 1:31) were told to name Jesus "Jesus." Jesus himself renamed Simon as Peter, and included the phrase "hallowed be thy name" in the Lord's prayer.
