Éxodo 31

Studie

   

1 Y HABLO Jehová á Moisés, diciendo:

2 Mira, yo he llamado por su nombre á Bezaleel, hijo de Uri, hijo de Hur, de la tribu de Judá;

3 Y lo he henchido de espíritu de Dios, en sabiduría, y en inteligencia, y en ciencia, y en todo artificio,

4 Para inventar diseños, para trabajar en oro, y en plata, y en metal,

5 Y en artificio de piedras para engastar las, y en artificio de madera; para obrar en toda suerte de labor.

6 Y he aquí que yo he puesto con él á Aholiab, hijo de Ahisamac, de la tribu de Dan: y he puesto sabiduría en el ánimo de todo sabio de corazón, para que hagan todo lo que te he mandado:

7 El tabernáculo del testimonio, y el arca del testimonio, y la cubierta que está sobre ella, y todos los vasos del tabernáculo;

8 Y la mesa y sus vasos, y el candelero limpio y todos sus vasos, y el altar del perfume;

9 Y el altar del holocausto y todos sus vasos, y la fuente y su basa;

10 Y los vestidos del servicio, y las santas vestiduras para Aarón el sacerdote, y las vestiduras de sus hijos, para que ejerzan el sacerdocio;

11 Y el aceite de la unción, y el perfume aromático para el santuario: harán conforme á todo lo que te he mandado.

12 Habló además Jehová á Moisés, diciendo:

13 Y tú hablarás á los hijos de Israel, diciendo: Con todo eso vosotros guardaréis mis sábados: porque es señal entre mí y vosotros por vuestras edades, para que sepáis que yo soy Jehová que os santifico.

14 Así que guardaréis el sábado, porque santo es á vosotros: el que lo profanare, de cierto morirá; porque cualquiera que hiciere obra alguna en él, aquella alma será cortada de en medio de sus pueblos.

15 Seis días se hará obra, mas el día séptimo es sábado de reposo consagrado á Jehová; cualquiera que hiciere obra el día del sábado, morirá ciertamente.

16 Guardarán, pues, el sábado los hijos de Israel: celebrándolo por sus edades por pacto perpetuo:

17 Señal es para siempre entre mí y los hijos de Israel; porque en seis días hizo Jehová los cielos y la tierra, y en el séptimo día cesó, y reposó.

18 Y dió á Moisés, como acabó de hablar con él en el monte de Sinaí, dos tablas del testimonio, tablas de piedra escritas con el dedo de Dios.

10335. 'And I, behold, I have appointed with him Aholiab the son of Ahisamach, belonging to the tribe of Dan' means those in whom the good and truth of faith are present, among whom the Church is to be established. This is clear from the representation of 'Aholiab' as those in whom the good and truth of faith are present. The reason why these are represented by Aholiab is that he was from the tribe of Dan, and that tribe means those in whom the good and truth of faith are present, see 3923, 6396. And the reason why these two - Bezalel from the tribe of Judah, and Aholiab from the tribe of Dan - were chosen to carry out the work, by which Divine celestial and spiritual realities would be represented, was that by Bezalel all those in whom the good of love is present should be understood, and by Aholiab all those in whom the good and truth of faith are present. Thus those who are in the inmost parts of heaven and the Church should be understood by Bezalel, and those who are in the last and lowest parts of them by Aholiab. And when they who are inmost and those who are last and lowest are referred to by name, all who are within the whole of heaven and within the whole of the Church should be understood. For this matter, see above in 10329; and when reference is made to what is first and what is last all things should be understood, 10044.

[2] The tribe of Judah was also in reality the first of the tribes, and the tribe of Dan the last of them. The fact that the tribe of Judah was in reality the first of the tribes is clear from father Israel's blessing of his sons in Genesis 49, where Reuben, Simeon, and Levi, who were the firstborn, are cursed, and Judah is blessed. See regarding Reuben there, verses 3, 4; regarding Simeon and Levi, verses 5-7; and regarding Judah, verses 8-12. And the fact that Dan was the last of the tribes, see 1710, 3923, 6396. The inmost heaven furthermore is inhabited by those in whom the good of love to the Lord exists, and the lowest by those in whom the truth of faith springing from good is present. The expression 'in whom the truth of faith springing from good is present' is used because the truth of faith is not the truth of faith present in a person unless it springs from good; for truth is born from good. Therefore unless good resides within truth there is no soul and so no life within it. Those in whom the truths of faith springing from good are present inhabit the lowest parts of heaven, but not those in whom the truths of faith are devoid of good; the latter do not inhabit heaven. Since the truth of faith acts as a servant to the good of love, as what is last does to what is first, it says of Aholiab that Jehovah appointed him to be with Bezalel, that is, to be his assistant; and of Bezalel it says that Jehovah filled him with the spirit of God in wisdom, and in intelligence, and in knowledge, and in all [manner of] work, verse 3.
