Exodo 28

Studie

   

1 At ilapit mo sa iyo si Aarong iyong kapatid at ang kaniyang mga anak na kasama niya, mula sa gitna ng mga anak ni Israel, upang makapangasiwa sa akin sa katungkulang saserdote, si Aaron, si Nadab at si Abiu, si Eleazar at si Ithamar, na mga anak ni Aaron.

2 At igagawa mo ng mga banal na kasuutan si Aarong iyong kapatid sa ikaluluwalhati at ikagaganda.

3 At iyong sasalitain sa lahat ng matalino, na aking pinagpupuspos ng diwa ng karunungan, na kanilang gawin ang kasuutan ni Aaron, upang siya'y italaga, na siya'y makapangasiwa sa akin sa katungkulang saserdote.

4 At ito ang mga kasuutang kanilang gagawin; isang pektoral, at isang epod, at isang balabal, at isang tunika na tinahing guhitguhit na naaanyong pariparisukat, isang mitra at isang pamigkis: at kanilang igagawa ng mga banal na kasuutan si Aarong iyong kapatid, at ang kaniyang mga anak, upang makapangasiwa sa akin sa katungkulang saserdote.

5 At kukuha sila ng ginto, at ng kayong bughaw, at ng kulay-ube, at ng pula, at ng lino.

6 At kanilang gagawin ang epod na ginto, at kayong bughaw, at kulay-ube, pula, at linong pinili, na yari ng bihasang mangbuburda.

7 Magkakaroon ng dalawang pangbalikat na nagkakasugpong sa dalawang dulo niyaon; upang magkasugpong.

8 At ang mainam na pagkayaring pamigkis na nasa ibabaw ng epod upang ibigkis, ay gagawing gaya ng pagkayari ng epod at kaputol, na ginto, kayong bughaw, at kulay-ube, at pula, at linong pinili.

9 At kukuha ka ng dalawang batong onix, at iyong iuukit na limbag sa ibabaw ng mga yaon ang mga pangalan ng mga anak ni Israel:

10 Anim sa kanilang mga pangalan ay sa isang bato, at ang mga pangalan ng anim na natitira ay sa isang bato, ayon sa kanilang kapanganakan.

11 Nayari ng manguukit sa bato, na gaya ng ukit ng isang panatak, iyong iuukit sa dalawang bato, ayon sa mga pangalan ng mga anak ni Israel: iyong gagawing napamumutihan ng mga kalupkop na ginto.

12 At iyong ilalagay ang dalawang bato sa ibabaw ng pangbalikat ng epod, upang maging mga batong pinakaalaala sa ikagagaling ng mga anak ni Israel: at papasanin ni Aaron ang kanilang mga pangalan sa harap ng Panginoon, sa ibabaw ng kaniyang dalawang balikat, na pinakaalaala.

13 At gagawa ka ng mga kalupkop na ginto:

14 At ng dalawang tanikalang taganas na ginto; parang pisi iyong gagawin na yaring pinili: at iyong ilalapat sa mga kalupkop ang mga tanikalang pinili.

15 At gagawin mo ang pektoral ng kahatulan, na gawa ng bihasang manggagawa; na gaya ng pagkayari ng epod iyong gagawin; gagawin mo na ginto, na bughaw, at kulay-ube, at pula, at linong pinili.

16 Gagawing parisukat at nakatiklop; isang dangkal magkakaroon ang haba niyaon, at isang dangkal ang luwang niyaon.

17 At iyong kakalupkupan ng mga kalupkop na mga bato, apat na hanay na bato: isang hanay na sardio, topacio, at karbungko ang magiging unang hanay;

18 At ang ikalawang hanay, ay isang esmeralda, isang zapiro, at isang diamante;

19 At ang ikatlong hanay ay isang hasinto, isang agata, at isang amatista;

20 At ang ikaapat na hanay ay isang berilo, isang onix, at isang haspe: pawang pamumutihan ng ginto sa kanilang mga kalupkop.

21 At ang mga bato ay iaayos sa mga pangalan ng mga anak ni Israel; labingdalawa, ayon sa mga pangalan nila; gaya ng ukit ng isang panatak, bawa't isa'y ayon sa kanilang pangalan, na magiging ukol sa labing dalawang lipi.

22 At gagawa ka sa ibabaw ng pektoral ng mga tanikalang parang pisi, yaring pinili, na taganas na ginto.

23 At igagawa mo ang ibabaw ng pektoral ng dalawang singsing na ginto, at ilalagay mo ang dalawang singsing sa dalawang sulok ng itaas ng pektoral.

24 At inyong ilalagay ang dalawang pinising tanikalang ginto sa dalawang singsing sa mga sulok ng pektoral.

25 At ang dalawang dulo ng dalawang tanikala ng pinili ay iyong ilalapat sa dalawang kalupkop, at iyong mga ilalagay sa mga pangbalikat ng epod, sa harapan.

26 At gagawa ka ng dalawang singsing na ginto, at mga ilalagay mo sa dalawang sulok ng pektoral sa laylayan niyaon na nasa dakong kabaligtaran ng epod.

27 At gagawa ka ng dalawang singsing na ginto, at iyong mga ikakapit sa dalawang pangbalikat ng epod, sa dakong ibaba, sa harapan, na malapit sa pagkakasugpong sa ibabaw ng mainam na pagkayaring pamigkis ng epod.

28 At kanilang itatali ang pektoral sa pamamagitan ng mga singsing niyaon sa mga singsing ng epod ng isang taling bughaw, upang mamalagi sa ibabaw ng mainam na pagkayaring pamigkis ng epod, at upang ang pektoral ay huwag makalag sa epod.

29 At dadalhin ni Aaron sa kaniyang sinapupunan ang mga pangalan ng mga anak ni Israel na nasa pektoral ng kahatulan pagka siya'y pumapasok sa dakong banal, na pinakaalaala sa harap ng Panginoon, na palagi.

30 At ilalagay mo sa pektoral ng kahatulan ang Urim at ang Tummim at mga ilalagay sa sinapupunan ni Aaron, pagka siya'y pumapasok sa harap ng Panginoon at dadalhing palagi ni Aaron sa harap ng Panginoon ang kahatulan sa mga anak ni Israel na nasa kaniyang sinapupunan.

31 At gagawin mo ang balabal ng epod na taganas na bughaw.

32 At magkakaroon ng isang pinakaleeg sa gitna niyaon: magkakaroon ito ng isang uriang tinahi sa palibot ng pinakaleeg, gaya ng butas ng isang koselete, upang huwag mapunit.

33 At ang saya niyaon ay igagawa mo ng mga granadang bughaw, at kulay-ube, at pula, sa palibot ng saya niyaon; at ng mga kampanilyang ginto sa gitna ng mga yaon sa palibot:

34 Isang kampanilyang ginto at isang granada, isang kampanilyang ginto at isang granada sa saya sa ibaba ng balabal sa palibot.

35 At isusuot ni Aaron upang mangasiwa: at ang tunog niyao'y maririnig pagka siya'y pumapasok sa dakong banal sa harap ng Panginoon, at pagka siya'y lumalabas, upang siya'y huwag mamatay.

36 At gagawa ka ng isang laminang taganas na ginto, at doo'y isusulat mong ukit na ayon sa ukit ng isang panatak, Banal sa Panginoon.

37 At iyong ilalagay sa isang listong bughaw, at malalagay sa ibabaw ng mitra; sa ibabaw ng harapan ng mitra malalagay.

38 At malalagay sa noo ni Aaron, at dadalhin ni Aaron ang kasamaan ng mga banal na bagay, na pakakabanalin ng mga anak ni Israel sa lahat nilang mga banal na kaloob; at malalagay na palagi sa kaniyang noo, upang tanggapin sa harap ng Panginoon.

39 At iyong hahabihin ang kasuutan na anyong parisukat, na lino, at iyong gagawin ang mitra na lino, at iyong gagawin ang pamigkis na yari ng mangbuburda.

40 At iyong igagawa ang mga anak ni Aaron ng mga kasuutan, at iyong igagawa sila ng mga pamigkis, at iyong igagawa sila ng mga tiara sa ikaluluwalhati at ikagaganda.

41 At iyong isusuot kay Aarong iyong kapatid at sa kaniyang mga anak na kasama niya; at iyong papahiran ng langis sila, at iyong itatalaga sila, at iyong papagbanalin sila, upang sila'y makapangasiwa sa akin, sa katungkulang saserdote.

42 At iyong igagawa sila ng mga salawal na lino, upang takpan ang laman ng kanilang kahubaran; mula sa mga balakang hanggang sa mga hita aabot.

43 At isusuot ni Aaron at ng kaniyang mga anak, pagka sila'y pumapasok sa tabernakulo ng kapisanan, o pagka sila'y lumalapit sa dambana upang mangasiwa sa dakong banal; upang sila'y huwag magdala ng kasamaan, at huwag mamatay: magiging isang palatuntunang walang hanggan sa kaniya at sa kaniyang binhi pagkamatay niya.

9930. 'And you shall make a plate of pure gold' means enlightenment received from the Lord's Divine Good. This is clear from the meaning of 'a plate' as enlightenment; and from the meaning of 'gold' as the good of love, at this point the Lord's Divine Good since 'Holiness to Jehovah' was inscribed on the plate. For the meaning of 'gold' as the good of love, see 113, 1551, 1552, 5658, 6914, 6917, 8932, 9490, 9510, 9874, 9881. 'A plate' means enlightenment on account of its brightness, for light shone from the gold on Aaron's forehead, and all brightness is a sign of enlightenment, as that in the heavens is which radiates from the Lord as the Sun. Enlightenment there consists in wisdom and intelligence derived from Divine Truth emanating from the Lord; for this Truth brings light to the interiors of those who are there. Their interiors answer to the understanding part of a person's mind, which is enlightened by the Lord when the person has a perception of the Church's and heaven's truth and goodness, the understanding being the subject that receives; for there is no reception without a subject. 1 The reason why 'the plate' means enlightenment from the Lord's Divine Good is that 'Holiness to Jehovah' was inscribed on it, and it was placed on the front of the turban which was on Aaron's head. Holiness which comes from Jehovah is Divine Truth emanating from the Lord's Divine Good, 6788, 8302, 8330, 9229, 9680, 9820. In order to represent the radiance or enlightenment that result in intelligence and wisdom the plate was tied to the front of the turban.

[2] Since 'the plate' meant enlightenment received from the Lord's Divine Good it was also called 'the plate of the crown of holiness' as well as 'the crown of holiness'; for a crown is a representative sign of Divine Good, and holiness is the Divine Truth emanating from that Good, as has been stated above. The fact that it was called the plate of the crown of holiness is evident further on in this Book of Exodus,

Finally they made the plate of the crown of holiness from pure gold; and they wrote an inscription on it, like the engraving of a signet, 2 Holiness to Jehovah. Exodus 39:30.

The fact that it was also called the crown of holiness is evident elsewhere in Exodus,

You shall place the turban on his head, and put the crown of holiness onto the turban. Exodus 29:6.

And in Leviticus,

He placed the turban on his head, and placed on the turban, on the front of it, 3 the plate of gold, the crown of holiness. Leviticus 8:9.

[3] The fact that the crown represented Divine Good from which Divine Truth emanates is clear from the crowns that the kings wore. For the kings represented the Lord in respect of Divine Truth, see 2015, 2069, 3009, 4581, 4966, 5044, 5068, 6148, and this was why they wore a crown on their head and held a sceptre in their hand, government animated by Divine Good being meant by the crown, and government inspired by Divine Truth by the sceptre.

[4] This meaning of 'the crown' is clear from the following places: In David,

I will make the horn of David to spring forth, I will make ready a lamp for My Anointed. His enemies I will clothe with shame, but upon Himself His crown will flourish. Psalms 132:17-18.

'David' here is the Lord, 1888, as is 'the Anointed', 3008, 3009. His 'horn' is power, 2832, 9081; 'lamp' is Divine Truth, which is the source of intelligence, 9548, 9783; 'crown' is Divine Good, which is the source of wisdom and also the mainspring of His government. It says that His crown, meaning wisdom, is going 'to flourish' on account of what He acquired to Himself in the world, to His Humanity, through conflicts with and victories over the hells, 8273, 9528 (end), the hells being His enemies who will be clothed with shame.

[5] In the same author,

You are angry 4 with Your Anointed, You have condemned His crown right down to the ground. 5 Psalms 89:38-39.

Here also 'the Anointed' stands for the Lord. 'Anger' stands for a state involving temptations, which was a state when He was engaged in conflicts with the hells. An expression of grief in that state is what the anger and condemnation describe (a final phase of temptation seems like condemnation), such as with the Lord's last grievous cry on the Cross that He was forsaken. For the Cross was the last of His temptations or conflicts with the hells; and after that last temptation He took on Divine Good, and in so doing united His Divine Human to Deity itself, which was within Him.

[6] In Isaiah,

On that day Jehovah Zebaoth will be a crown of adornment and a turban of beauty for the remnant of His people. Isaiah 28:5.

'A crown of adornment' stands for wisdom, which is a discernment of good from God, and 'a turban of beauty' for intelligence, which is an understanding of truth from that good. What is stated in this verse has regard to things among the people which were Divine, 'people' meaning the Church since they were where the Church existed.

[7] In the same prophet,

For Zion's sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until her righteousness goes forth as brightness, and her salvation as a lamp [that] burns. And you will be a crown of beauty in the hand of Jehovah, and a royal turban in the hand of your God. Isaiah 62:1, 3.

'Zion' and 'Jerusalem' are used to mean the Church, 'Zion' the celestial Church, and 'Jerusalem' the spiritual Church that extends from it. 'A crown of beauty' is wisdom, which is a discernment of good, and 'a royal turban' is intelligence, which is an understanding of truth. And since 'a crown' means wisdom, or discernment of good, it is said to be 'in the hand of Jehovah'; and since 'a turban' means intelligence, or an understanding of truth, it is said to be 'in the hand of God'. For when the subject is good the name 'Jehovah' is used, and when it is truth the name 'God' is used, 2586, 2769, 6905.

[8] In Jeremiah,

Say to the king and queen mother, 6 Lower yourselves, sit down, for the adornment of your head, the crown of your beauty, has come down. Jeremiah 13:18.

'The crown of beauty' stands for wisdom which is a discernment of good derived from Divine Truth; for 'beauty' is the Church's Divine Truth, 9815. In the same prophet,

The joy of our heart has ceased, our dance has been turned into mourning. The crown of our head has fallen. Lamentations 5:15-16.

'Crown of the head' stands for wisdom which those who belong to the Church derive from Divine Truth, which sets them above all other peoples and gives them a kind of authority.

[9] In Ezekiel,

I put 7 a jewel on your nose, and earrings on your ears, and a crown of adornment on your head. Ezekiel 16:12.

This refers to the establishment of the Church. 'A jewel on the nose' stands for the perception of good; 'earrings on the ears' for the perception of truth, and obedience; and 'a crown of adornment on the head' for wisdom resulting from such perception. In Job,

He has withdrawn glory from me, and has removed the crown of my head. Job 19:9.

'Glory' stands for intelligence, which is an understanding of Divine Truth, 9429, 'crown of the head' for resulting wisdom.

[10] In the Book of Revelation,

On the thrones I saw twenty-four elders seated, clad in white garments, who had on their heads crowns of gold. They fell down before the one seated on the throne, and worshipped the one who lives for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne. Revelation 4:4, 10.

'Twenty-four elders' means all those who are governed by good that is a product of truths, and in the abstract sense all forms of good that result from truths, 6524, 9404. 'Thrones' are truths from God, 5313, 6397, 8625, 9039; 'crowns of gold on their heads' are representative signs of wisdom received from God, and because it is received from Him they cast their crowns before the one seated on the throne.

[11] Since the good of wisdom is acquired through conflicts brought about by temptations, in which the truths of faith are used to fight with, those who fought against evils and falsities and were victorious were rewarded with crowns. Therefore also the crowns of martyrdom were emblems provided by the Lord which are signs of dominion over evils. The fact that crowns are the rewards of victory over evils, and that crowns consequently mean forms of the good of wisdom because these are rewards, is also clear from the Book of Revelation,

I saw, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow; to him a crown was given; he went out conquering and to conquer. Revelation 6:2.

'A white horse and he who sat on it' is the Lord in respect of the Word, 2760-2762; and 'a bow' is teachings of truth that are used to fight with, 2686, 2709. From this it is evident that since the Lord is the subject 'a crown' means Divine Good, which is the reward of victory.

[12] And in another place,

Afterwards I saw, and behold, a white cloud, and on the cloud one was sitting, like the Son of Man, having on His head a crown of gold, and in His hand a sharp sickle. Revelation 14:14.

'A white cloud' stands for the literal sense of the Word, 4060, 4391, 5922, 6343 (end), 6752, 8781; 'the Son of Man' stands for Divine Truth which emanates from the Lord, 9807; 'a crown of gold' for Divine Good from which Divine Truth springs; and 'a sharp sickle' for the dispersal of evil and falsity. In another place,

Be faithful right through to death, and I will give you the crown of life. Revelation 2:10.

And in another,

Behold, I come quickly. Hold on to what you have, that no one may take your crown. Revelation 3:11.

'Crown' stands for good that results from truths, thus for wisdom since this is the discernment of the good of love resulting from the truths of faith. From all this it may now be seen what a crown means, and from this what is meant by a crown of holiness, which was the plate of gold on which 'Holiness to Jehovah' was engraved.
