Ezequiel 27

Studie

   

1 Y vino Palabra del SEÑOR a mí, diciendo:

2 Y tú, hijo de hombre, levanta endechas sobre Tiro.

3 Y dirás a Tiro, la que habita a los puertos del mar, la mercadera de los pueblos de muchas islas: Así dijo el Señor DIOS: Tiro, tú has dicho: Yo soy de perfecta hermosura.

4 En el corazón de los mares están tus términos; los que te edificaron completaron tu belleza.

5 De hayas del monte Senir te fabricaron todas las tillas; tomaron cedros del Líbano para hacerte el mástil.

6 De castaños de Basán hicieron tus remos; compañía de asirios hicieron tus bancos de marfil de las islas de Quitim.

7 De fino lino bordado de Egipto fue tu cortina, para que te sirviese de vela; de cárdeno y grana de las islas de Elisa fue tu pabellón.

8 Los moradores de Sidón y de Arvad fueron tus remeros; tus sabios, oh Tiro, estaban en ti; ellos fueron tus pilotos.

9 Los ancianos de Gebal y sus sabios repararon tus hendiduras; todas las galeras del mar y los remeros de ellas fueron en ti para negociar tus negocios.

10 Persas y lidios, y africanos, fueron en tu ejército tus hombres de guerra; escudos y capacetes colgaron en ti; ellos te dieron tu honra.

11 Y los hijos de Arvad con tu ejército estuvieron sobre tus muros alrededor, y los pygmeos en tus torres, sus escudos colgaron sobre tus muros alrededor; ellos completaron tu hermosura.

12 Tarsis tu mercadera a causa de la multitud de todas tus riquezas en plata, hierro, estaño, y plomo, dio en tus ferias.

13 Grecia, Tubal, y Mesec, tus mercaderes, con alma de hombres y con vasos de bronce, dieron en tus ferias.

14 De la casa de Togarma, caballos y caballeros y mulos, dieron en tu mercado.

15 Los hijos de Dedán eran tus negociantes; muchas islas tomaban mercadería de tu mano; cuernos de marfil y pavos reales te dieron en presente.

16 Siria fue tu mercadera por la multitud de tus productos; con rubíes, y púrpura, y vestidos bordados, y linos finos, y corales, y perlas, dio en tus ferias.

17 Judá, y la tierra de Israel, eran tus mercaderes; con trigos, Minit, y Panag, y miel, y aceite, y triaca, dieron en tu mercado.

18 Damasco, tu mercadera por la multitud de tus productos, por la abundancia de toda riqueza, con vino de Helbón, y lana blanca.

19 Asimismo Dan y, Grecia y Mozel, dieron en tus ferias, hierro limpio, casia, y cálamo aromática.

20 Dedán fue tu mercadera con paños preciosos para carros.

21 Arabia y todos los príncipes de Cedar, mercaderes de tu mano en corderos, y carneros, y machos cabríos; en estas cosas fueron tus mercaderes.

22 Los mercaderes de Sabá y de Raama fueron tus mercaderes; con lo principal de toda especiería, y toda piedra preciosa, y oro, dieron en tus ferias.

23 Harán, y Cane, y Edén, los mercaderes de Seba, de Asiria, y Quilmad, fueron en tu mercadería.

24 Estos tus mercaderes negociaban contigo en varias cosas: en mantos de cárdeno, y bordados, y en cajas de ropas preciosas, enlazadas con cordones, y en madera de cedro.

25 Las naves de Tarsis, tus cuadrillas, fueron en tu negociación; y fuiste llena, y fuiste multiplicada en gran manera en medio de los mares.

26 En muchas aguas te engolfaron tus remeros; viento solano te quebrantó en medio de los mares.

27 Tus riquezas, y tus mercaderías, y tu negociación, tus remeros, y tus pilotos, los reparadores de tus hendiduras, y los agentes de tus negocios, y todos tus hombres de guerra que hay en ti, con toda tu compañía que en medio de ti se halla , caerán en medio de los mares el día de tu caída.

28 Al estrépito de las voces de tus marineros temblarán los arrabales.

29 Y descenderán de sus naves todos los que toman remo; remeros, y todos los pilotos del mar se pararán en tierra;

30 y harán oír su voz sobre ti, y gritarán amargamente, y echarán polvo sobre sus cabezas, y se revolcarán en la ceniza.

31 Y se raerán por ti los cabellos, y se ceñirán de cilicio, y endecharán por ti endechas amargas, con amargura de alma.

32 Y levantarán sobre ti endechas en sus lamentaciones, y endecharán sobre ti diciendo : ¿Quién como Tiro, como la destruida en medio del mar?

33 Cuando tus mercaderías salían de los mares, saciabas muchos pueblos; los reyes de la tierra enriqueciste con la multitud de tus riquezas y de tus contrataciones.

34 En el tiempo que serás quebrantada de los mares en lo profundo de las aguas, tu comercio y toda tu compañía caerán en medio de ti.

35 Todos los moradores de las islas se maravillarán sobre ti, y sus reyes temblarán de espanto; demudarán sus rostros.

36 Los mercaderes en los pueblos silbarán sobre ti; conturbada fuiste, y nunca más serás para siempre.

9466. 'And violet' means the celestial love of truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'violet' as the celestial love of truth, the reason why 'violet' has this meaning being that it is a celestial colour, and by this colour truth from a celestial origin is meant, that is, truth springing from the good of love to the Lord. This good predominates in the inmost heaven, revealing itself in the middle or second heaven as the colours purple and violet. The actual good reveals itself as purple, and the truth springing from it as violet. For when colours appear in the next life, and in heaven itself, they are most beautiful ones; and they all have their origin in goodness and truth. For the sphere of affections for goodness and truth is revealed to the eyes of angels and of spirits also by means of colours, specific things being revealed by means of objects variously coloured, and also to their nostrils by means of odours. For every celestial reality belonging to good or spiritual reality belonging to truth is represented in the lower heavens by means of the kinds of things that appear in the natural order, and by this means is revealed to the actual external senses of spirits and angels in those heavens. The reason why the spheres of affection for goodness and truth are revealed visually by means of colours is that colours are modifications of heavenly light, and so of intelligence and wisdom, see 4530, 4677, 4742, 4922.

[2] This now explains why the materials that were to be gathered together for the tabernacle and Aaron's garments included violet, purple, twice-dyed scarlet, and skins of red rams; for the tabernacle represented the Lord's heaven, the materials which were used to construct and cover it represented the celestial and spiritual realities that belong to goodness and truth, and Aaron's garments had a like representation, 9457. It explains why the veil within which the ark of the Testimony was placed was woven from violet, purple, twice-dyed scarlet, and fine linen thread, Exodus 26:31, as likewise was the covering for the door of the tent, Exodus 26:36, and the covering for the gate of the court as well, Exodus 27:16, and why the loops on the edge of the curtain were made of violet, Exodus 26:4. It also explains why the ephod was made of gold, violet, purple, twice-dyed scarlet, and linen thread woven together, as was the breastplate of judgement, Exodus 28:6, 15.

[3] 'Violet' means the celestial love of truth, and 'garments made of violet' cognitions or knowledge of truth present as a result of that love, in Ezekiel,

Fine linen with embroidered work from Egypt was your sail, that it might be to you an ensign; violet and purple from the islands of Elishah was your covering. They were your traders with choice wares, 1 with balls of violet, and embroidery, and with chests of precious garments. Ezekiel 27:7, 24.

This refers to Tyre, by which cognitions of truth and good are meant, 1201. Knowledge and understanding acquired from these is described by 'embroidered work from Egypt', and by 'violet and purple from the islands of Elishah'. 'Embroidered work from Egypt' is factual knowledge of truth, and 'violet and purple from the islands of Elishah' is an understanding of truth and good.

[4] In the same prophet,

Two women, the daughters of one mother, in their youth committed whoredom in Egypt - Oholah and Oholibah. Oholah committed whoredom under Me and doted on the Assyrians her neighbours - clothed in violet, governors and leaders, horsemen riding on horses. Ezekiel 23:2-6.

'Oholah' stands for Samaria, and 'Oholibah' for Jerusalem, Samaria in this instance being the corrupted spiritual Church. 'Committing whoredom in Egypt' means falsifying truths by means of factual knowledge, 'doting on the Assyrians her neighbours' stands for having a love of reasonings based on those falsifications, and 'clothed in violet' stands for ideas which look like truth springing from good because they are derived from the literal sense of the Word interpreted wrongly.

[5] Something similar occurs in Jeremiah,

Beaten silver is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the smith and of the hands of the molder. Their clothing is violet and purple. These are all the work of the wise. Jeremiah 10:9.

This refers to the idols of the house of Israel, by which false teachings, supported by distortions of the outward sense of the Word, are meant, 9424. 'The work of the smith and of the hands of the molder', and also 'these are all the work of the wise', stand for the fact that they are the product of self-intelligence. 'Silver from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz' stands for their seeming to outward appearance to be true and good because they are taken from the Word; and much the same is meant by 'violet and purple' of which their clothing consisted.

[6] In John,

I saw horses in the vision, and those seated on them had breastplates of fire and violet and brimstone, by whom a third part of mankind was killed. Revelation 9:17-18.

'Horses' and 'those seated on them' stand for a topsy-turvy and corrupted understanding of truth. 'Breastplates of fire, violet, and brimstone' stands for defence of falsities that arise from the evils of devilish kinds of love. In this instance therefore 'fire' stands for the hellish love of evil, and 'violet' for the hellish love of falsity. They are accordingly used in the contrary sense; for the majority of things in the Word also have a contrary meaning.

20 The cherubim shall spread out their wings upward, covering the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces toward one another. The faces of the cherubim shall be toward the mercy seat.

21 You shall put the mercy seat on top of the ark, and in the ark you shall put the testimony that I will give you.

22 There I will meet with you, and I will tell you from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim which are on the ark of the testimony, all that I command you for the children of Israel.

26 You shall make four rings of gold for it, and put the rings in the four corners that are on its four feet.

27 the rings shall be close to the rim, for places for the poles to carry the table.

28 You shall make the poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold, that the table may be carried with them.

29 You shall make its dishes, its spoons, its ladles, and its bowls to pour out offerings with. You shall make them of pure gold.

30 You shall set bread of the presence on the table before me always.

31 "You shall make a lampstand of pure gold. Of hammered work shall the lampstand be made, even its base, its shaft, its cups, its buds, and its flowers, shall be of one piece with it.

32 There shall be six branches going out of its sides: three branches of the lampstand out of its one side, and three branches of the lampstand out of its other side;

33 three cups made like almond blossoms in one branch, a bud and a flower; and three cups made like almond blossoms in the other branch, a bud and a flower, so for the six branches going out of the lampstand;

34 and in the lampstand four cups made like almond blossoms, its buds and its flowers;

35 and a bud under two branches of one piece with it, and a bud under two branches of one piece with it, and a bud under two branches of one piece with it, for the six branches going out of the lampstand.

36 Their buds and their branches shall be of one piece with it, all of it one beaten work of pure gold.

37 You shall make its lamps seven, and they shall light its lamps to give light to the space in front of it.
