Studie

   

1 Bukod dito'y gagawin mo ang tabernakulo na may sangpung tabing; na linong pinili, at bughaw, at kulay-ube, at pula, na may mga querubin na gawa ng bihasang manggagawa, iyong gagawin.

2 Ang magiging haba ng bawa't tabing ay dalawang pu't walong siko, at ang luwang ng bawa't tabing ay apat na siko: lahat ng tabing ay magkakaroon ng isang kasukatan.

3 Limang tabing ay papagsusugpunging isa't isa; at ang ibang limang tabing ay papagsusugpunging isa't isa.

4 At gagawa ka ng mga presilyang bughaw sa gilid ng isang tabing sa hangganan ng pagkakasugpong, at gayon din gagawin mo sa gilid ng ikalawang tabing na nasa ikalawang pagkakasugpong.

5 Limang pung presilya ang iyong gagawin sa isang tabing, at limang pung presilya ang iyong gagawin sa gilid ng tabing na nasa ikalawang pagkakasugpong; ang mga presilya ay magkakatapat na isa't isa.

6 At limang pung pangawit na ginto ang iyong gagawin at pagsusugpungin mo ang mga tabing sa pamamagitan ng mga kawit; at magiging isa lamang.

7 At gagawa ka ng mga tabing na balahibo ng kambing na pinaka tolda sa ibabaw ng tabernakulo: labing isang tabing ang iyong gagawin.

8 Ang magiging haba ng bawa't tabing ay tatlong pung siko, at ang luwang ng bawa't tabing ay apat na siko: ang labing isang tabing ay magkakaroon ng isang sukat.

9 At iyong papagsusugpungin ang limang tabing, at gayon din ang anim na tabing, at iyong ititiklop ang ikaanim na tabing sa harapan ng tabernakulo.

10 At limang pung presilya ang iyong gagawin sa tagiliran ng isang tabing na nasa hangganan ng pagkakasugpong, at limang pung presilya sa tagiliran ng ikalawang pagkakasugpong.

11 At gagawa ka ng limang pung pangawit na tanso, at ikakabit mo ang mga pangawit sa mga presilya at pagsusugpungin mo ang tolda upang maging isa.

12 At ang dakong nakalawit na nalalabi sa mga tabing ng tolda, na siyang kalahati ng tabing na nalalabi ay ilalaylay sa likuran ng tabernakulo.

13 At ang siko ng isang dako at ang siko ng kabilang dako niyaong nalalabi sa haba ng mga tabing ng tolda, ay ilalaylay sa mga tagiliran ng tabernakulo, sa dakong ito at sa dakong yaon, upang takpan.

14 At gagawa ka ng isang pangtakip sa tolda na balat ng lalaking tupa na tininang pula, at isang pangtakip na balat ng poka, sa ibabaw.

15 At igagawa mo ng mga tabla ang tabernakulo, na kahoy na akasia na mga patayo.

16 Sangpung siko ang magiging haba ng isang tabla, at isang siko at kalahati ang luwang ng bawa't tabla.

17 Dalawang mitsa magkakaroon ang bawa't tabla na nagkakasugpong na isa't isa: ang gagawin mo sa lahat ng tabla ng tabernakulo.

18 At igagawa mo ng mga tabla ang tabernakulo: dalawang pung tabla sa tagilirang timugan sa dakong timugan.

19 At gagawa ka ng apat na pung tungtungang pilak upang ilagay sa ilalim ng dalawang pung tabla, dalawang tungtungan sa bawa't tabla na ukol sa kaniyang dalawang mitsa, at dalawang tungtungan sa ilalim ng ibang tabla na ukol sa kaniyang dalawang mitsa:

20 At sa ikalawang tagiliran ng tabernakulo, sa dakong hilagaan, ay dalawang pung tabla:

21 At ang kanilang apat na pung tungtungang pilak; dalawang tungtungan sa ilalim ng isang tabla, at dalawang tungtungan sa ilalim ng kabilang tabla.

22 At sa dakong hulihan ng tabernakulo, sa dakong kalunuran ay igagawa mo ng anim na tabla.

23 At igagawa mo ng dalawang tabla ang mga sulok ng tabernakulo sa dakong hulihan.

24 At pagpapatungin sa dakong ibaba, at gayon din na maugnay sa itaas niyaon sa isang argolya; gayon ang gagawin sa dalawa; para sa dalawang sulok.

25 At magkakaroon ng walong tabla, at ang kanilang mga tungtungang pilak ay labing anim na tungtungan: dalawang tungtungan sa ilalim ng isang tabla, at dalawang tungtungan sa ilalim ng kabilang tabla.

26 At gagawa ka ng mga barakilan, na kahoy na akasia; lima sa mga tabla ng isang tagiliran ng tabernakulo;

27 At limang barakilan sa mga tabla ng kabilang tagiliran ng tabernakulo, at limang barakilan sa mga tabla ng tagiliran ng tabernakulo sa dakong hulihan, na dakong kalunuran.

28 At ang gitnang barakilan ay daraan sa kalagitnaan ng mga tabla mula sa isang dulo hanggang sa kabila.

29 At iyong babalutin ng ginto ang mga tabla, at gigintuin mo ang kanilang mga argolya na pagdaraanan ng mga barakilan: at iyong babalutin ng ginto ang mga barakilan.

30 At iyong itatayo ang tabernakulo ayon sa anyo niyaon, na ipinakita sa iyo sa bundok.

31 At gagawa ka ng isang lambong na bughaw at kulay-ube, at pula at linong pinili: na may mga querubing mainam ang pagkayari:

32 At iyong isasampay sa apat na haliging akasia na balot ng ginto, na pati ng kanilang mga pangipit ay ginto rin: na nakapatong sa ibabaw ng apat na tungtungang pilak.

33 At iyong ibibitin ang lambong sa ilalim ng mga pangalawit, at iyong ipapasok doon sa loob ng lambong ang kaban ng patotoo: at paghihiwalayin sa inyo ng lambong ang dakong banal at ang kabanalbanalang dako.

34 At iyong ilalagay ang luklukan ng awa sa ibabaw ng kaban ng patotoo sa kabanalbanalang dako.

35 At iyong ilalagay ang dulang sa labas ng lambong, at ang kandelero ay sa tapat ng dulang sa tagiliran ng tabernakulo na dakong timugan: at ang dulang ay ilalagay mo sa dakong hilagaan.

36 At igagawa mo ng isang tabing ang pintuan ng tolda na kayong bughaw at kulay-ube, at pula, at linong pinili, na yari ng mangbuburda.

37 At igagawa mo ang tabing ng limang haliging akasia at babalutin mo ng ginto; na ang sima ng mga yaon ay ginto rin: at ipagbububo mo ng limang tungtungan.

9468. And scarlet double-dyed. That this signifies mutual love, is evident from the signification of “scarlet,” and of “double-dyed,” as being celestial truth, which is the same as the good of mutual love. There are two kingdoms into which the angelic heaven has been divided—the celestial kingdom, and the spiritual kingdom; and in each there is an internal and an external. The internal in the celestial kingdom is the good of love to the Lord, and the external is the good of mutual love. It is this latter good which is signified by “scarlet double-dyed;” by “scarlet” the good itself, and by “double-dyed” its truth. But in the spiritual kingdom the internal is the good of charity toward the neighbor, and the external is the good of obedience from faith. That “scarlet double-dyed” signifies the good of mutual love and its truth, is from its appearance in the other life; for when the sphere of this good and truth is presented to view in the lowest heaven, it appears of a scarlet color; because that which flows down from the celestial heaven and appears beneath, takes its color from flame, and beneath becomes scarlet from the shining whiteness of the light of the middle heaven, through which it passes. Hence, it is that among other colors, scarlet double-dyed was employed upon the curtains of the Habitation (Exodus 26:1); upon the veil before the ark (Exodus 26:31); upon the covering for the door of the tent (Exodus 26:36); upon the covering at the gate of the court (Exodus 27:16); upon the ephod (Exodus 28:6); upon the belt (Exodus 28:8) upon the breastplate of judgment (Exodus 28:15); and upon the fringes of the robe of the ephod (Exodus 28:33).

[2] That “scarlet double-dyed” signifies the good of mutual love, which is the external good of the celestial kingdom or church, is evident from the fact that a cloth of scarlet double-dyed was to be spread over the table on which were the breads of faces, and that it was to be covered next with a covering of badgers’ skins (Numbers 4:8). For the inmost things that belong to the celestial kingdom or church, were signified by the things upon the table, especially by the breads; but exterior things by the coverings. From this also it is that the things to be collected are enumerated in this order; namely, the inmost things first, which were blue and crimson; the more outward things in the second place, which were scarlet double-dyed, fine linen, and goats’ wool; and lastly the outermost things, which were skins of red rams and badgers’ skins; in like manner everywhere in what follows.

[3] As external celestial good and its truth are signified by “scarlet double-dyed,” therefore the Word as to the external sense, and its derivative doctrine, are expressed by this color, for the reason that the Word is the Divine truth that proceeds from the Divine good of the Lord, and this appears as a flaming light in the inmost heaven, and as a shining white light in the middle heaven.

[4] The Word and its derivative doctrine are thus expressed in the second book of Samuel:

David lamented a lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan; and he wrote down to teach the sons of Judah the bow. Ye daughters of Israel weep over Saul, who clothed you in double-dyed with delights, who put an ornament of gold upon your apparel (2 Samuel 1:17-18, 24).

“To clothe in double-dyed” denotes to instruct in the truths that belong to the good of mutual love, thus in truths from a celestial origin. The subject treated of in this prophetic utterance is the doctrine of faith separated from the doctrine of love and charity; namely, that through the doctrine of faith separated, truths are extinguished, but are restored through the doctrine of love and charity. For by “the Philistines,” by whom Saul and Jonathan were slain, are signified those who are in the doctrine of faith separated from the doctrine of love and charity (n. 3412, 3413, 8093, 8096, 8099, 8313); and by “teaching the sons of Judah the bow” is signified instructing in the truths of doctrine those who are in the good of love and charity. (That “the sons of Judah” denote those who are in the good of love, see n. 3654, 3881, 5583, 5603, 5782, 5794, 5833, 6363; and that a “bow” denotes the doctrine of truth, n. 2686, 2709)

[5] In Jeremiah:

Thou therefore, O wasted one, what wilt thou do? Though thou clothest thyself with double-dyed, though thou deckest thee with an ornament of gold, in vain shalt thou make thyself beautiful (Jeremiah 4:30).

The church that has been laid waste is here treated of; “clothing herself with double-dyed,” and “decking herself with an ornament of gold,” denotes to teach the truths of doctrine that are from a celestial origin, and the goods of life, consequently truths and goods from the Word. In like manner in the same:

They that did eat delicacies have been laid waste in the streets; they that were brought up upon scarlet have embraced a dunghill (Lam. 4:5).

“To be brought up upon scarlet” denotes to be instructed from the Word from infancy in the good of mutual love.

[6] As the things that belong to the external sense of the Word appear in heaven of a scarlet color, for the reason spoken of above, therefore they who apply the external sense of the Word to the confirmation of falsities from the evils of the love of self and of the world, and thus to those which are contrary to the truths and goods of love to the Lord and of mutual love, are said to be “clothed in crimson and scarlet;” for so do their outward things appear, because they are from the Word; but their internal things are profane. Such things are signified by “scarlet” in John:

I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet beast, full of names of blasphemy; she was clothed in crimson and scarlet (Revelation 17:3-4);

speaking of Babylon, by which is meant a religion in which the holy things of the Word are profaned by being applied to falsities that favor diabolical loves, which are the loves of self and of the world, thus to gaining dominion in the heavens and on earth. Again in the same:

The great city that was clothed in fine linen, and crimson, and scarlet; and gilded with gold, and precious stone, and pearls (Revelation 18:16).

Therefore also among the merchandise of Babylon are enumerated “fine linen, crimson, and scarlet” (Revelation 18:12).

[7] As the external of the Word appears in heaven of a scarlet color, and as there is an influx out of heaven into man’s memory, in which what is drawn from the Word appears of such a color, therefore scarlet was employed in relation to the remembrance of things; as in Moses:

The sons of Israel shall make them a train upon the borders of their garments, and shall put upon the train of the border a scarlet 1 thread, that by it they may remember all the commandments of Jehovah, and do them (Numbers 15:38-39).

[8] For the same reason also it was customary in ancient time, when significatives were in use, to bind a scarlet thread for the remembrance or recollection of a thing, as we read of Perez the son of Tamar, upon whose hand “the midwife bound a double-dyed thread” (Genesis 38:28, 30); and as we read of the harlot Rahab, who “bound a scarlet thread in the window, that the spies might remember their promise” (Josh. 2:18, 21).

[9] As a man cannot be withdrawn from evils and falsities except by means of the truths and goods that are with him from the Word, therefore in the cleansing of leprosy there were employed “cedar wood, scarlet, and hyssop” (Leviticus 14:4-7, 49-52); for “leprosy” denotes truth profaned, thus falsified (see n. 6963); and “to be cleansed from” these things denotes to be withdrawn from them by means of the truths and goods which are from the Word. In like manner scarlet was employed “in the waters of separation and expiation made from a red heifer” (Numbers 19:6); “the waters of separation and expiation” also signified purification and withdrawal from evils and falsities by means of truths and goods from the Word.

[10] As most things have an opposite sense, so also have “double-dyed” and “scarlet,” and then they signify falsities and evils which are opposed to the before-mentioned truths and goods; as in Isaiah:

Though your sins be as double-dyed, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red as scarlet, they shall be as wool (Isaiah 1:18).

The case herein is the same as with “red,” with “blood,” with “flame,” and with “fire,” which in the genuine sense signify the goods of love and of faith; but in the opposite sense the evils contrary to them.
