Éxodo 35

Studie

   

1 Y Moisés hizo juntar toda la congregación de los hijos de Israel, y les dijo: Estas son las cosas que el SEÑOR ha mandado que hagáis.

2 Seis días se hará obra, mas el día séptimo os será santo, sábado de reposo al SEÑOR; cualquiera que en él hiciere obra, morirá.

3 No encenderéis fuego en todas vuestras moradas en el día del sábado.

4 Y habló Moisés a toda la congregación de los hijos de Israel, diciendo: Esto es lo que el SEÑOR ha mandado, diciendo:

5 Tomad de entre vosotros ofrenda para el SEÑOR; todo generoso de corazón la traerá al SEÑOR: oro, plata, bronce;

6 cárdeno, púrpura, carmesí, lino fino, pelo de cabras;

7 cueros rojos de carneros, cueros de tejones, madera de cedro;

8 aceite para la luminaria, especias aromáticas para el aceite de la unción y para el incienso aromático;

9 y piedras de ónice, y piedras de engaste para el efod, y para el pectoral.

10 Y todo sabio de corazón de entre vosotros, vendrá y hará todas las cosas que el SEÑOR ha mandado:

11 El tabernáculo, su tienda, y su cubierta, y sus anillos, y sus tablas, sus barras, sus columnas, y sus basas;

12 el arca, y sus varas, la cubierta, y el velo de la tienda;

13 la mesa, y sus varas, y todos sus vasos, y el pan de la proposición.

14 El candelero de la luminaria, y sus vasos, y sus candilejas, y el aceite para la luminaria;

15 y el altar del incienso, y sus varas, y el aceite de la unción, y el incienso aromático, y la cortina de la puerta, para la entrada del tabernáculo.

16 El altar del holocausto, y su enrejado de bronce, y sus varas, y todos sus vasos, y la fuente con su basa;

17 las cortinas del atrio, sus columnas, y sus basas, y la cortina de la puerta del atrio;

18 las estacas del tabernáculo, y las estacas del atrio, y sus cuerdas;

19 las vestiduras del servicio para ministrar en el santuario; es a saber , las santas vestiduras de Aarón el sacerdote, y las vestiduras de sus hijos para servir en el sacerdocio.

20 Y salió toda la congregación de los hijos de Israel de delante de Moisés.

21 Y vino todo varón a quien su corazón estimuló, y todo aquel a quien su espíritu le dio voluntad, y trajeron ofrenda al SEÑOR para la obra del tabernáculo del testimonio, y para toda su obra, y para las santas vestiduras.

22 Y vinieron así hombres como mujeres, todo voluntario de corazón, y trajeron cadenas y zarcillos, anillos y brazaletes, y toda joya de oro; y cualquiera ofrecía ofrenda de oro al SEÑOR.

23 Todo hombre que se hallaba con cárdeno, o púrpura, o carmesí, o lino fino, o pelo de cabras, o cueros rojos de carneros, o cueros de tejones, lo traía.

24 Cualquiera que ofrecía ofrenda de plata o de bronce, traía al SEÑOR la ofrenda; y todo el que se hallaba con madera de cedro, la traía para toda la obra del servicio.

25 Además todas las mujeres sabias de corazón hilaban con sus manos, y traían lo que habían hilado: cárdeno, o púrpura, o carmesí, o lino fino.

26 Y todas las mujeres cuyo corazón las levantó en sabiduría, hilaron pelos de cabras.

27 Y los príncipes trajeron piedras de ónice, y las piedras de los engastes para el efod y el pectoral;

28 y la especia aromática y aceite, para la luminaria, y para el aceite de la unción, y para el perfume aromático.

29 De los hijos de Israel, así hombres como mujeres, todos los que tuvieron corazón voluntario para traer para toda la obra, que el SEÑOR había mandado por medio de Moisés que hiciesen, trajeron ofrenda voluntaria al SEÑOR.

30 Y dijo Moisés a los hijos de Israel: Mirad, el SEÑOR ha nombrado a Bezaleel hijo de Uri, hijo de Hur, de la tribu de Judá;

31 y lo ha llenado del Espíritu de Dios, en sabiduría, en inteligencia, y en ciencia, y en todo artificio,

32 para proyectar inventos, para obrar en oro, y en plata, y en bronce,

33 y en obra de pedrería para engastar, y en obra de madera, para trabajar en toda invención ingeniosa.

34 Y ha puesto en su corazón para que pueda enseñar, así él como Aholiab hijo de Ahisamac, de la tribu de Dan.

35 Y los ha llenado de sabiduría de corazón, para que hagan toda obra de artificio, y de invención, y de recamado en cárdeno, y en púrpura, y en carmesí, y en lino fino, y en telar; para que hagan toda labor, e inventen todo diseño.

9470. 'And wool of she-goats' means the good from this, that is to say, from the good of mutual love. The reason why 'wool of she-goats' means this good is that 'a she-goat' means the good of innocence in the external or natural man, 3519, 7840, and therefore 'wool' means the truth belonging to that good. However, since not truth but good is meant, the original language does not actually say 'wool of she-goats', only 'she-goats', as is also the case in other places, such as in the following words in Exodus,

All the skilled 1 women brought what they had spun, violet, purple, twice-dyed scarlet, [and] fine linen thread; and all the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun she-goats. Exodus 35:25-26.

'Spinning she-goats' stands for producing things woven from the wool of she-goats.

[2] The fact that 'wool' means truth from a celestial origin, which in itself is good, is clear from places in the Word where the actual word is used, as in Hosea,

[Their mother has committed whoredom.] She said, I will go after my lovers, those giving me my bread and my water, my wool and my linen. Therefore I will return and take back My grain in its season, and I will snatch away My wool and My linen. Hosea 2:5, 9.

This refers to a corrupted Church, meant here by 'mother'. 'The lovers' with whom she is said to have committed whoredom are those who pervert forms of good and truths. 'Bread' and 'water' mean internal forms of the good of love, and the internal truths of faith; 'wool' and 'flax' mean external ones.

[3] In Daniel,

I saw until thrones were placed, and the Ancient of Days was seated. His clothing was white as snow, and the hair of His head like pure wool. Daniel 7:9.

This refers to the Church laid waste so far as every truth of faith was concerned, and then restored by the Lord, its having been completely laid waste being meant in the words 'thrones were placed'. 'The Ancient of Days' is the Lord in respect of celestial good as this existed in the Most Ancient Church, which was a celestial Church. In the Word that good is called 'ancient', its external truth being meant by clothing which was 'white as snow', and its external good by hair of the head which was 'like pure wool'. Similar words occur in John,

... in the midst of the seven lampstands one like the Son of Man. His head and hair were white, like white wool, like snow. Revelation 1:13-14.

[4] This kind of truth, being in itself good because it is the outward form of celestial good, is again meant by 'wool' in Ezekiel,

Damascus was your merchant in the wine of Helbon and the wool of Zachar. 2 Ezekiel 27:18.

And in Isaiah,

Though your sins are like twice-dyed, they will be as white as snow. Though they are as red as scarlet, they will be as wool. Isaiah 1:18.

[5] Because Aaron's garments represented the kinds of realities that belong to the Lord's spiritual kingdom, thus the spiritual realities that belong to truth, his 'holy garments' were made of linen and not of wool. For 'linen' is spiritual truth, whereas 'wool' is celestial truth, which in comparison is good. On this account it says in Ezekiel,

The priests, the Levites, the sons of Zadok, when they enter the gates of the inner court they shall put on the linen garments, and no wool shall come upon them. The linen turbans shall be on their heads, the linen undergarments shall be over their loins. Ezekiel 44:17-18.

The fact that Aaron's garments were made not of wool but of linen is clear from Leviticus 16:4, 32.

[6] From all this it becomes clear that 'linen' means spiritual truth, which is the truth of the good of faith, whereas 'wool' means celestial truth, which is the truth of the good of love. And since those endued with the latter kind of truth cannot be endued with the former, because the two are as different as the light of the sun is from the light of the stars, it was laid down that no one should wear a garment made of wool and linen mixed together, Deuteronomy 22:10-11. The fact that between what is celestial and what is spiritual there is such a difference, and that both cannot be together in one and the same person, see the places referred to in 9277.

Exodus 12

Studie

   

1 Yahweh spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,

2 "This month shall be to you the beginning of months. It shall be the first month of the year to you.

3 Speak to all the congregation of Israel, saying, 'On the tenth day of this month, they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to their fathers' houses, a lamb for a household;

4 and if the household is too little for a lamb, then he and his neighbor next to his house shall take one according to the number of the souls; according to what everyone can eat you shall make your count for the lamb.

5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male a year old. You shall take it from the sheep, or from the goats:

6 and you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month; and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at evening.

7 They shall take some of the blood, and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel, on the houses in which they shall eat it.

8 They shall eat the flesh in that night, roasted with fire, and unleavened bread. They shall eat it with bitter herbs.

9 Don't eat it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roasted with fire; with its head, its legs and its inner parts.

10 You shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; but that which remains of it until the morning you shall burn with fire.

11 This is how you shall eat it: with your belt on your waist, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it in haste: it is Yahweh's Passover.

12 For I will go through the land of Egypt in that night, and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and animal. Against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments: I am Yahweh.

13 The blood shall be to you for a token on the houses where you are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and there shall no plague be on you to destroy you, when I strike the land of Egypt.

14 This day shall be to you for a memorial, and you shall keep it a feast to Yahweh: throughout your generations you shall keep it a feast by an ordinance forever.

15 "'Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread; even the first day you shall put away yeast out of your houses, for whoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.

16 In the first day there shall be to you a holy convocation, and in the seventh day a holy convocation; no kind of work shall be done in them, except that which every man must eat, that only may be done by you.

17 You shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this same day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore you shall observe this day throughout your generations by an ordinance forever.

18 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, you shall eat unleavened bread, until the twenty first day of the month at evening.

19 Seven days shall there be no yeast found in your houses, for whoever eats that which is leavened, that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a foreigner, or one who is born in the land.

20 You shall eat nothing leavened. In all your habitations you shall eat unleavened bread.'"

21 Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said to them, "Draw out, and take lambs according to your families, and kill the Passover.

22 You shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two doorposts with the blood that is in the basin; and none of you shall go out of the door of his house until the morning.

23 For Yahweh will pass through to strike the Egyptians; and when he sees the blood on the lintel, and on the two doorposts, Yahweh will pass over the door, and will not allow the destroyer to come in to your houses to strike you.

24 You shall observe this thing for an ordinance to you and to your sons forever.

25 It shall happen when you have come to the land which Yahweh will give you, according as he has promised, that you shall keep this service.

26 It will happen, when your children ask you, 'What do you mean by this service?'

27 that you shall say, 'It is the sacrifice of Yahweh's Passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he struck the Egyptians, and spared our houses.'" The people bowed their heads and worshiped.

28 The children of Israel went and did so; as Yahweh had commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.

29 It happened at midnight, that Yahweh struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of livestock.

30 Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt, for there was not a house where there was not one dead.

31 He called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, "Rise up, get out from among my people, both you and the children of Israel; and go, serve Yahweh, as you have said!

32 Take both your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and be gone; and bless me also!"

33 The Egyptians were urgent with the people, to send them out of the land in haste, for they said, "We are all dead men."

34 The people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneading troughs being bound up in their clothes on their shoulders.

35 The children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they asked of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and clothing.

36 Yahweh gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they let them have what they asked. They despoiled the Egyptians.

37 The children of Israel traveled from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot who were men, besides children.

38 A mixed multitude went up also with them, with flocks, herds, and even very much livestock.

39 They baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt; for it wasn't leavened, because they were thrust out of Egypt, and couldn't wait, neither had they prepared for themselves any food.

40 Now the time that the children of Israel lived in Egypt was four hundred thirty years.

41 It happened at the end of four hundred thirty years, even the same day it happened, that all the armies of Yahweh went out from the land of Egypt.

42 It is a night to be much observed to Yahweh for bringing them out from the land of Egypt. This is that night of Yahweh, to be much observed of all the children of Israel throughout their generations.

43 Yahweh said to Moses and Aaron, "This is the ordinance of the Passover. No foreigner shall eat of it,

44 but every man's servant who is bought for money, when you have circumcised him, then shall he eat of it.

45 A foreigner and a hired servant shall not eat of it.

46 In one house shall it be eaten; you shall not carry forth anything of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall you break a bone of it.

47 All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.

48 When a stranger shall live as a foreigner with you, and will keep the Passover to Yahweh, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one who is born in the land: but no uncircumcised person shall eat of it.

49 One law shall be to him who is born at home, and to the stranger who lives as a foreigner among you."

50 All the children of Israel did so. As Yahweh commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.

51 It happened the same day, that Yahweh brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.
