Exodo 25

Studie

   

1 At ang Panginoon ay nagsalita kay Moises, na sinasabi,

2 Salitain mo sa mga anak ni Israel, na sila'y magdala sa akin ng isang handog: ang bawa't tao na maganyak ang puso sa kagandahang loob ay kukunan ninyo ng handog sa akin.

3 At ito ang handog na inyong kukunin sa kanila; ginto, at pilak, at tanso;

4 At kayong bughaw, kulay-ube, at pula, at lino at balahibo ng kambing;

5 At mga balat ng lalaking tupa na tinina sa pula, at mga balat ng poka, at kahoy na akasia;

6 Langis sa ilawan, mga espesia sa langis na pangpahid, at sa mabangong pangsuob;

7 Mga batong onix, at mga batong pangkalupkop sa efod, at sa pektoral.

8 At kanilang igawa ako ng isang santuario; upang ako'y makatahan sa gitna nila.

9 Ayon sa lahat ng aking ipinakita sa iyo, sa anyo ng tabernakulo at sa anyo ng lahat ng kasangkapan niyaon ay gayon ninyo gagawin.

10 At sila'y gagawa ng isang kaban na kahoy na akasia: na may dalawang siko't kalahati ang haba niyaon, at may isang siko't kalahati ang luwang niyaon, at may isang siko't kalahati ang taas niyaon.

11 At iyong babalutin ng taganas na ginto; sa loob at sa labas ay iyong babalutin, at igagawa mo sa ibabaw ng isang kornisa sa palibot.

12 At ipagbububo mo ng apat na argolyang ginto, at ipaglalagay mo sa apat na paa niyaon, at dalawang argolya ang mapapasa isang tagiliran niyaon, at dalawang argolya sa kabilang tagiliran niyaon.

13 At gagawa ka ng mga pingga na kahoy na akasia at iyong babalutin ng ginto.

14 At iyong isusuot ang mga pingga sa loob ng mga argolya, sa mga tagiliran ng kaban, upang mabuhat ang kaban.

15 Ang mga pingga ay masusuot sa loob ng mga argolya ng kaban: hindi aalisin doon.

16 At iyong isisilid sa kaban ang mga kinalalagdaan ng patotoo na aking ibibigay sa iyo.

17 At gagawa ka ng isang luklukan ng awa, na taganas na ginto: na may dalawang siko't kalahati ang haba niyaon, at may isang siko't kalahati ang luwang niyaon.

18 At gagawa ka ng dalawang querubing ginto; na yari sa pamukpok iyong gagawin, sa dalawang dulo ng luklukan ng awa.

19 At gawin mo ang isang querubin sa isang dulo, at ang isang querubin sa kabilang dulo: kaputol ng luklukan ng awa, gagawin mo ang mga querubin sa dalawang dulo niyaon.

20 At ibubuka ng mga querubin ang kanilang pakpak na paitaas, na nilililiman ang luklukan ng awa, ng kanilang mga pakpak, na ang kanilang mukha ay nagkakaharap, sa dakong luklukan ng awa ihaharap ang mga mukha ng mga querubin.

21 At iyong ilalagay ang luklukan ng awa sa ibabaw ng kaban; at sa loob ng kaban, ay iyong ilalagay ang mga kinalalagdaan ng patotoo, na aking ibibigay sa iyo.

22 At diya'y makikipagkita ako sa iyo, at makikipanayam sa iyo mula sa ibabaw ng luklukan ng awa, sa gitna ng dalawang querubin na nangasa ibabaw ng kaban ng patotoo, tungkol sa lahat ng mga bagay na ibibigay ko sa iyong utos sa mga anak ni Israel.

23 At gagawa ka ng isang dulang na kahoy na akasia: na may dalawang siko ang haba niyaon, at isang siko ang luwang niyaon, at isang siko't kalahati ang taas niyaon.

24 At iyong babalutin ng taganas na ginto, at igagawa mo ng isang kornisang ginto sa palibot.

25 At igagawa mo ng isang gilid na may isang palad ng kamay ang luwang sa palibot, at igagawa mo ng isang kornisang ginto ang palibot ng gilid niyaon.

26 At igagawa mo ng apat na argolyang ginto, at ilalagay mo ang mga argolya sa apat na sulok na ukol sa apat na paa niyaon.

27 Malalapit sa gilid ang mga argolya, sa daraanan ng mga pingga, upang madala ang dulang.

28 At gagawin mo ang mga pingga na kahoy na akasia, at iyong babalutin ng ginto, upang ang dulang ay madala ng mga yaon.

29 At gagawa ka ng mga pinggan niyaon, at ng mga kutsara niyaon, at ng mga kopa niyaon, at ng mga tasa niyaon na pagbubuhusan; na iyong gagawing taganas na ginto.

30 At ilalagay mo sa dulang ang tinapay na handog sa harap ko na palagi.

31 At gagawa ka ng isang kandelerong taganas na ginto: yari sa pamukpok gagawin mo ang kandelero, ang tuntungan niyaon, at ang haligi niyaon; ang mga kopa niyaon, ang mga globito niyaon at ang mga bulaklak niyaon ay mga kaputol:

32 At magkakaroon ng anim na sangang lumalabas sa mga tagiliran niyaon; tatlong sanga ng kandelero'y sa isang tagiliran niyaon, at ang tatlong sanga ng kandelero ay sa kabilang tagiliran niyaon:

33 At magkakaroon ng tatlong kopang anyong bulaklak ng almendro sa isang sanga, isang globito at isang bulaklak; at tatlong kopang anyong bulaklak ng almendro sa kabilang sanga, isang globito at isang bulaklak; at gayon sa anim na sangang lumalabas sa kandelero.

34 At sa haligi ng kandelero'y magkakaroon ng apat na kopang anyong bulaklak ng almendro, sangpu ng mga globito niyaon, at ng mga bulaklak niyaon:

35 At magkakaroon ng isang globito sa ilalim ng dalawa sa mga sanga, at isang globito sa ilalim ng kabilang dalawa sa mga sanga na kaputol niyaon, at isang globito sa ilalim ng dalawang sangang nalalabi ayon sa anim na sanga na lumalabas sa kandelero.

36 Ang magiging mga globito at mga sanga niyaon ay kaputol: kabuoan niyaon ay isa lamang putol na yari sa pamukpok, na taganas na ginto.

37 At igagawa mo ng kaniyang mga ilawan, na pito: at kanilang sisindihan ang mga ilawan niyaon, upang lumiwanag sa dakong tapat ng kandelero.

38 At ang magiging mga gunting at mga pinggan niyaon ay taganas na ginto.

39 Isang talentong taganas na ginto gagawin, sangpu ng lahat ng kasangkapang ito.

40 At ingatan mo, na iyong gawin ayon sa anyo ng mga yaon na ipinakita sa iyo sa bundok.

Apocalypse Explained # 238

/ 1232  
  

238. And miserable and poor, signifies that they do not know that they have neither knowledges of truth nor knowledges of good. This is evident from the signification of "miserable" or "pitiable," as meaning those who are in no knowledges of truth; and from the signification of "poor" as meaning those who are in no knowledges of good. That this is the meaning of "miserable" and "poor" is evident from many passages in the Word, and also from this, that spiritual misery and poverty are nothing else than a lack of the knowledges of truth and good, for the spirit is then miserable and poor; but when the spirit possesses these it is rich and wealthy; therefore also "riches" and "wealth" in the Word signifies spiritual riches and wealth, which are the knowledges of truth and good (as was shown just above, n. 236).

[2] "Miserable and poor" are terms used in many passages in the Word. He who is ignorant of the spiritual sense of the Word believes that by these no others are meant than the miserable and poor in the world. These, however, are not meant, but those who are not in truths and goods and in the knowledges thereof; and by the "miserable" indeed, those who are not in truths because not in the knowledges of truths, and by the "poor" those who are not in goods because not in the knowledges of goods. As these two, truths and goods, are meant by these two expressions, the two in many places are mentioned together; as in the passages that now follow. In David:

I am miserable and poor, Lord, remember me (Psalms 40:17; 70:5). Incline thine ear, O Jehovah, answer me, for I am miserable and poor (Psalms 86:1).

The "miserable and poor" here mean evidently those who are miserable and poor, not in respect to worldly riches but in respect to spiritual riches, as David says this of himself; therefore he also said, "Jehovah, incline thine ear, and answer me."

[3] In the same:

The wicked draw out the sword and bend their bow, to cast down the miserable and poor (Psalms 37:14).

Here also "the miserable and poor" mean evidently those who are spiritually such and yet long for the knowledges of truth and good, for it is said that "the wicked draw out the sword and bend the bow," "sword" signifying falsity combating against truth and striving to destroy it, and "bow" the doctrine of falsity fighting against the doctrine of truth; therefore it is said that they do this "to cast down the miserable and poor." (That "sword" signifies truth combating against falsity, and in a contrary sense, falsity combating against truth, see above, n. 131; and that "bow" signifies doctrine in both senses, see Arcana Coelestia 2686, 2709)

[4] So in another place in the same:

The wicked man hath persecuted the miserable and poor and the broken in heart, to slay them (Psalms 109:16).

In Isaiah:

The fool speaketh folly, and his heart doeth iniquity to practice hypocrisy and to speak error against Jehovah, to make empty the hungry soul, and to make him who thirsteth for drink to want. He counseleth wicked devices to destroy the miserable by words of a lie, even when the poor speaketh judgment (Isaiah 32:6-7).

Here likewise "the miserable and poor" mean those who are destitute of the knowledges of truth and good; therefore it is said that "the wicked counseleth wicked devices to destroy the miserable by the words of a lie, even when the poor speaketh judgment;" "by the words of a lie" means by falsities, and "to speak judgment" is to speak what is right. Because such are treated of, it is also said that he "practices hypocrisy and speaketh error against Jehovah, to make empty the hungry soul and to make him who thirsteth for drink to want." "To practice hypocrisy and to speak error" is to do evil from falsity, and to speak falsity from evil; "to make empty the hungry soul" is to deprive those of the knowledges of good who long for them, and "to make him who thirsteth for drink to want" is to deprive those of the knowledges of truth who long for them.

In the same:

The miserable shall have joy in Jehovah, and the poor of men shall exult in the Holy One of Israel (Isaiah 29:19).

Here also "the miserable and poor" signify those who are in lack of truth and good and yet long for them; of these, and not of those who are miserable and poor in respect to worldly wealth, it is said that they "shall have joy in Jehovah, and shall exult in the Holy One of Israel."

[5] From this it can be seen what is signified by the "miserable and poor" in other passages of the Word, as in the following. In David:

The poor shall not always be forgotten; and the hope of the miserable shall not perish for ever (Psalms 9:18).

In the same:

God shall judge the miserable of the people, He shall save the sons of the poor. He shall deliver the poor when he crieth, and the miserable. He shall spare the weak and the poor, and the souls of the poor He shall save (Psalms 72:4, 12-13).

In the same:

The miserable shall see, they that seek Jehovah 1 shall be glad. For Jehovah heareth the poor (Psalms 69:32-33).

In the same:

Jehovah deliverest the miserable from him that is too strong for him, the poor from them that despoil him (Psalms 35:10).

In the same:

The miserable and the poor praise Thy name (Psalms 74:21; 109:22).

In the same:

I know that Jehovah will maintain the cause of the miserable, and the judgment of the poor (Psalms 140:12).

Also elsewhere (as Isaiah 10:2; Jeremiah 22:16; Ezekiel 16:49; 18:12; 22:29; Amos 8:4; Deuteronomy 15:11; 24:14). "The miserable" and "the poor" are both mentioned in these passages, because it is according to the style of the Word that where truth is spoken of, good is also spoken of; and in a contrary sense, where falsity is spoken of, evil is also spoken of, since they make a one, and as if it were a marriage; this is why "the miserable and the poor" are mentioned together; for, by "the miserable" those deficient in the knowledges of truth are meant, and by "the poor" those deficient in the knowledges of good. (That there is such a marriage almost everywhere in the prophetical parts of the Word, see Arcana Coelestia 683, 793, 801, 2516, 2712, 3004, 3005, 3009, 4138, 5138, 5194, 5502, 6343, 7022, 7945, 8339, 9263, 9314.)

For the same reason it is said in what follows, "and blind and naked;" for by "the blind" one who is in no understanding of truth is meant, and by "the naked" one who is in no understanding and will of good. So in the following verse, "I counsel thee to buy of Me gold tried by fire, and white garments that thou mayest be clothed;" for by "gold tried by fire" the good of love is meant, and by "white garments" the truths of faith. And further, "That the shame of thy nakedness be not manifest; and anoint thine eyes with eye-salve, that thou mayest see," which means, lest evils and falsities be seen. So also elsewhere. But that there is such a marriage in the particulars of the Word, none but those who know its internal sense can see.

5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world."

6 When he had said this, he spat on the ground, made mud with the saliva, anointed the blind man's eyes with the mud,

7 and said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (which means "Sent"). So he went away, washed, and came back seeing.
