1 Dvadeset pete godine robovanja našeg, u početku godine, deseti dan meseca, četrnaeste godine od kako se uze grad, isti dan dođe nada me ruka Gospodnja i odvede me onamo.

2 Utvarama Božjim odvede me u zemlju Izrailjevu, i postavi me na goru vrlo visoku, na kojoj beše s juga kao sagrađen grad.

3 I odvede me onamo, i gle, čovek, koji na oči beše kao od bronze, s užem lanenim u ruci i s trskom meračkom, i stajaše na vratima.

4 I progovori mi taj čovek: Sine čovečji, gledaj očima svojim i slušaj ušima svojim, i uzmi na um sve što ću ti pokazati, jer si doveden ovamo da ti pokažem; kaži domu Izrailjevom sve što vidiš.

5 I gle, beše zid spolja oko doma, a u ruci onom čoveku trska meračka od šest lakata, a lakat beše s podlanice duži od običnog; i izmeri građevinu u širinu, i beše jedna trska, i u visinu, i beše jedna trska.

6 Pa dođe na vrata koja behu prema istoku, i iziđe uz basamake, i izmeri jedan prag vratima, i beše u širinu jedna trska, i drugi prag, i beše u širinu jedna trska;

7 I kleti, i svaka beše jednu trsku duga i jednu trsku široka; a između kleti beše pet lakata; i prag na vratima kod trema na unutrašnjim vratima, i beše s jedne trske.

8 I izmeri trem na vratima unutrašnjim, i beše jedna trska.

9 I izmeri trem na vratima, i beše osam lakata; i dovratnike im, i behu dva lakta; a trem na vratima beše iznutra;

10 I kleti kod vrata prema istoku behu tri amo i tri tamo, jedne mere sve tri, i jedne mere behu dovratnici tamo i amo.

11 I izmeri širinu vratima, i beše deset lakata, i trinaest lakata beše u dužinu vratima.

12 I pred kletima beše mesta jedan lakat, i za jedan lakat beše mesta s druge strane, i u svakoj kleti beše šest lakata od tuda i šest lakata od ovuda.

13 Posle izmeri vrata od krova jedne kleti do krova druge, i beše u širinu dvadeset i pet lakata, vrata prema vratima.

14 I načini dovratnike od šezdeset lakata, i pred dovratnicima trem na vratima unaokolo.

15 I od lica vrata na koja se ulazi do lica trema na unutrašnjim vratima beše pedeset lakata.

16 I behu prozori na kletima i na dovratnicima njihovim suženi unutra oko vrata, tako i na tremovima, prozori behu iznutra svuda unaokolo, i po dovratnicima palme.

17 Potom me uvede u spoljašnji trem, i gle, behu kleti i pod načinjen svuda unaokolo u tremu, trideset kleti na podu.

18 A taj pod pokraj vrata prema dužini vrata beše niži pod.

19 Potom izmeri širinu od lica donjih vrata do lica unutrašnjeg trema spolja, i beše sto lakata k istoku i severu.

20 I vrata koja behu k severu na tremu spoljašnjem izmeri u dužinu i u širinu;

21 I behu tri kleti tamo i tri amo, i dovratnici im i tremovi behu iste mere kao u prvih vrata; pedeset lakata beše u dužinu a u širinu dvadeset i pet lakata;

22 I prozori im i tremovi i palme behu na meru kao na vratima koja gledaju na istok, i iđaše se k njima uza sedam basamaka, i tremovi behu pred njima.

23 I vrata od unutrašnjeg trema behu prema vratima severnim i istočnim, i izmeri od vrata do vrata, i beše sto lakata.

24 Posle me odvede k jugu, i gle, behu vrata prema jugu; i izmeri im dovratnike i tremove, i beše ista mera.

25 I behu prozori na njima i na tremovima njihovim unaokolo kao oni prozori; pedeset lakata beše u dužinu i dvadeset i pet lakata u širinu.

26 I iđaše se k njima uza sedam basamaka, i tremovi behu pred njima, i palme jedna od tuda, a jedna od ovuda po dovratnicima.

27 I vrata od unutrašnjeg trema behu prema jugu; i izmeri od vrata do vrata k jugu, i beše sto lakata.

28 Tada me uvede u unutrašnji trem južnim vratima; i izmeri južna vrata, i beše ista mera.

29 I kleti njihove i dovratnici i tremovi behu iste mere, i prozori na njima i na tremovima unaokolo; pedeset lakata beše u dužinu, i dvadeset i pet lakata u širinu.

30 I tremovi behu unaokolo, dvadeset i pet lakata u dužinu i pet lakata u širinu.

31 I tremovi im behu prema spoljašnjem tremu, i palme po dovratnicima, i uz osam basamaka iđaše se k njima.

32 Potom me odvede u unutrašnji trem k istoku, i izmeri vrata, i beše ista mera;

33 I kleti im i dovratnici i tremovi behu iste mere; i behu prozori na njima i na tremovima njihovim unaokolo; u dužinu beše pedeset lakata, a u širinu dvadeset i pet lakata;

34 I tremovi im behu prema spoljašnjem tremu, i palme po dovratnicima i tamo i amo, i uz osam basamaka iđaše se k njima.

35 Potom odvede me na severna vrata i izmeri ih, i behu iste mere.

36 Tako i kleti im i dovratnici i tremovi i prozori unaokolo; u dužinu pedeset lakata, a u širinu dvadeset i pet lakata.

37 I dovratnici im behu prema spoljašnjem tremu, i palme po dovratnicima i tamo i amo, i uz osam basamaka iđaše se k njima.

38 I kleti s vratima behu kod dovratnika tih vrata, onde se prahu žrtve paljenice.

39 A u tremu od vrata behu dva stola s jedne strane i dva stola s druge strane da se na njima kolju žrtve paljenice i žrtve za greh i za krivicu;

40 I na strani spolja kako se ulazi na severna vrata behu dva stola, i na drugoj strani u tremu od istih vrata behu dva stola;

41 Četiri stola behu s jedne strane i Četiri s druge strane uz vrata, osam stolova, na kojima se koljaše.

42 A četiri stola za žrtvu paljenicu behu od tesanog kamena, u dužinu podrug lakta, i podrug lakta u širinu a u visinu jedan lakat, i na njima se ostavljaše oruđe kojima se koljahu žrtve paljenice i druge žrtve.

43 I unutra behu kuke s podlanice svuda u naokolo, a na stolove se metaše meso od žrtava.

44 I spolja pred vratima unutrašnjim behu kleti za pevače u unutrašnjem tremu; jedne behu uz vrata severna i gledahu prema jugu, a druge behu uz istočna vrata i gledahu prema severu.

45 Tada mi reče: Ove kleti što gledaju na jug jesu za sveštenike koji služe oko doma;

46 A one kleti što gledaju na sever jesu za sveštenike koji služe kod oltara; to su sinovi Sadokovi, koji između sinova Levijevih pristupaju ka Gospodu da Mu služe.

47 Potom izmeri trem, i beše u dužinu sto lakata i u širinu sto lakata, četvrtast; i oltar beše pred domom.

48 Posle me odvede u trem od doma, i izmeri dovratnike tremu, i beše pet lakata otud i pet lakata odovud; a vrata behu široka tri lakta otud i tri lakta odovud;

49 Dužina tremu beše dvadeset lakata, a širina jedanaest lakata, i uz basamake se iđaše k njemu, i stupovi behu uz dovratnike, jedan otud i jedan odovud.

3391. 'That Abimelech the king of the Philistines looked through a window and saw' means the doctrine of faith which has regard to rational concepts held within cognitions. This is clear from the representation of 'Abimelech' as the doctrine of faith which has regard to rational concepts, dealt with in 2504, 2509, 2510, 2533; from the meaning of 'the king of the Philistines' as matters of doctrine, dealt with in 3365; and from the meaning of 'a window' as the understanding part of the mind, dealt with in 655, 658, and therefore internal sight, for this in former times was meant by 'windows'. Thus 'looking through a window' is perceiving things that are seen through internal sight. In general those things are cognitions which belong to the external man; but rational concepts - or what amounts to the same, appearances of truth, which are spiritual truths, 3368 - are not cognitions but are held within cognitions since they belong to the rational man, and so to the internal man. And it is characteristic of the internal man to regard the things belonging to the external man, and so to regard the truths held within cognitions. Since cognitions belong to the natural man they are consequently the recipient vessels for rational concepts. For Divine truths flow into the rational part of the mind and by way of the rational into the natural, where they present themselves like an image produced by many objects reflected in a mirror, see 3368.

[2] That 'windows' means the things that constitute internal sight, that is, the understanding, which are referred to by the single term 'intellectual concepts' is clear from the places in the Word introduced in 655, as well as from the following: In Joel,

They will run about the city, they will run on the wall, they will climb into the houses, they will go in through the windows like a thief. Joel 2:9.

This refers to the evils and falsities present in the final days of the Church. 'Climbing into the houses' stands for destroying goods which belong to the will - 'houses' being goods that belong to the will, see 710, 2233, 2234; and 'going in through the windows' for destroying truths and cognitions of those which belong to the understanding. In Zephaniah,

Jehovah will stretch out His hand over the north and will destroy Asshur. Herds will lie down in the midst of her, every wild beast of that nation. The spoonbill also and the duck will lodge in its pomegranates. 1 A voice will sing in the window, dryness will be on the threshold, for the cedar has been laid bare. Zephaniah 2:13-14.

This refers to the destruction of the truths of faith by means of reasonings, meant by Asshur, 119, 1186. 'A voice will sing in the window' stands for the desolation of truth, and so of the ability to understand what is true.

[3] In the Book of Judges,

She looked through the window, and the mother of Sisera exclaimed through the lattices, Why is his chariot so long in coming? Judges 5:28.

These words come in the prophecy of Deborah and Barak and have to do with the resurgence of the spiritual Church. 'Looking through the window' stands for the reasonings of those who deny truths and in so doing destroy things that belong to the Church; for such reasonings are intellectual concepts in the contrary sense. In Jeremiah,

Woe to him who builds his house without righteousness, and his upper rooms without judgement, who says, I will build myself a wide house and spacious upper rooms, and he cuts out windows for himself, panelling it with cedar, and paints it with vermilion. Jeremiah 22:13-14.

'Building a house without righteousness, and upper rooms without judgement' stands for building a religion out of what is not good and not truth - 'righteousness and judgement' meaning good and truth, see 2235. 'Cutting out windows for oneself, panelling it with cedar, and painting it with vermilion' stands for falsifying truths, intellectual and spiritual. The windows of the Temple in Jerusalem represented nothing else than such things as constitute intellectual and thus spiritual concepts. The windows of the new temple that are mentioned in Ezekiel, 40:16, 22, 25, 33, 36; 41:16, 26, have a similar meaning, for anyone may see that the new temple, the new Jerusalem, and the new earth described in that prophet mean nothing else than the Lord's kingdom, and that accordingly the details mentioned concerning them are the kind of things that belong to that kingdom.
