Exodo 31

Studie

   

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

2 Tingnan mo aking tinawag sa pangalan si Bezaleel na anak ni Uri, na anak ni Hur, sa lipi ni Juda:

3 At aking pinuspos siya ng Espiritu ng Dios, sa karunungan at pagkakilala, at kaalaman, at sa lahat ng sarisaring gawain,

4 Upang kumatha ng mga gawang kaayaaya, upang gumawa sa ginto, at sa pilak, at sa tanso,

5 At upang umukit ng mga batong pangkalupkop, upang gumawa ng mga nililok na kahoy, at upang gumawa sa lahat na sarisaring gawain.

6 At ako, narito, aking inihalal na kasama niya si Aholiab, na anak ni Ahisamac sa lipi ni Dan; at sa puso ng lahat na maalam na puso, ay aking isinilid ang karunungan, upang magawa nila ang lahat ng aking iniutos sa iyo:

7 Ang tabernakulo ng kapisanan at ang kaban ng patotoo, at ang luklukan ng awa na nasa ibabaw niyaon, at ang lahat ng kasangkapan ng Tolda:

8 At ang dulang at ang mga sisidlan niyaon at ang kandelerong dalisay, sangpu ng lahat na mga sisidlan; at ang dambana ng kamangyan;

9 At ang dambana ng handog na susunugin sangpu ng lahat ng mga sisidlan niyaon, at ang hugasan at ang tungtungan niyaon;

10 At ang mga kasuutang mabuting yari, at ang mga banal na kasuutan na pangsuot kay Aarong saserdote, at ang mga kasuutan sa kaniyang mga anak, upang mangasiwa sa katungkulang saserdote;

11 At ang langis na pangpahid, at ang kamangyan na mabangong mga kamangyan na itataan sa dakong banal: ayon sa lahat na iniutos ko sa iyo ay kanilang gagawin.

12 At ang Panginoo'y nagsalita kay Moises, na sinasabi,

13 Salitain mo rin sa mga anak ni Israel, na iyong sabihin, Katotohanang ipangingilin ninyo ang aking mga sabbath; sapagka't isang tanda sa akin at sa inyo sa buong panahon ng inyong mga lahi, upang inyong makilala na ako ang Panginoon na nagpapabanal sa inyo.

14 Inyong ipangingilin ang sabbath nga; sapagka't yao'y pangilin sa inyo: bawa't lumapastangan ay walang pagsalang papatayin: sapagka't sinomang gumawa ng anomang gawa sa araw na yaon, ay ihihiwalay ang taong yaon sa kaniyang bayan.

15 Anim na araw na gagawin ang gawain; datapuwa't ang ikapitong araw ay sabbath na takdang kapahingahan, pangilin sa Panginoon: sinomang gumawa ng anomang gawa sa araw ng sabbath, ay walang pagsalang papatayin.

16 Kaya't ang mga anak ni Israel ay mangingilin ng sabbath, na tutuparin ang sabbath sa buong panahon ng kanilang mga lahi, na pinakapalaging tipan.

17 Ito'y isang tanda sa akin at sa mga anak ni Israel magpakailan man: sapagka't sa anim na araw ay ginawa ng Panginoon ang langit at lupa, at sa ikapitong araw, ay nagpahinga at naginhawahan.

18 At kaniyang ibinigay kay Moises, pagkatapos na makipagsalitaan sa kaniya sa ibabaw ng bundok ng Sinai, ang dalawang tapyas ng patotoo, na mga tapyas na bato, na sinulatan ng daliri ng Dios.

10329. 'See, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, belonging to the tribe of Judah' means those in whom the good of love is present, among whom the Church is to be established. This is clear from the meaning of 'calling by name' as choosing such persons, that is to say, ones who are suitable, dealt with below; and from the representation of 'Bezalel' as those in whom the good of love is present. The reason why these are represented here by Bezalel is that he came from the tribe of Judah, and this tribe means those in whom celestial good is present, which is the good of love to the Lord, and in the abstract sense, without reference to persons, it means the good of celestial love. For this meaning of Judah and his tribe, see 3654, 3881, 6363, 6364, 8770. But what Uri and Hur, Bezalel's father and grandfather, represent is clear from the manner in which celestial good is begotten. It is begotten by teachings that present what is true and good on a celestial level. So those teachings are meant by these two men, 'Hur' representing teachings that present the truth, see 9424.

[2] People who keep their minds fixed solely on the literal sense of the Word, which they do more resolutely in the historical sections than in the prophetical parts, may be astonished when they are told that such things are meant by the names of those two men; but people who are acquainted with the essential nature of the Word will not be astonished. For in every detail the Word has a spiritual content. Within the actual names of persons and places that are mentioned in the Word there would be nothing spiritual if they did not serve to mean things of the Church and of heaven; for those things are spiritual. From this it follows that the two names used here likewise mean spiritual things.

Names in the Word serve to mean spiritual things or realities, see 1224, 1264, 1888, 4442, 5095, 5225, 6516.

Names do not pass into heaven, only the realities meant by them, 1876, 10216, 10282.

[3] The reason why 'calling by name' in the spiritual sense means choosing such persons as are suitable is that the word 'name' considered without reference to an actual person means the essential nature of something, as becomes clear from places in the Word in which 'name' occurs.

'Name' means the essential nature of something, see 144, 145, 1754, 1896, 2009, 2724, 3004-3011, 3421, 6674, 6887, 8274, 8882, 9310.

The verb 'call' without the noun 'name' has a similar meaning, 3421, 3659, while 'calling by name' means choosing, 8773.

[4] Two men are named here who were called by Jehovah to carry out the work that Moses was commanded on Mount Sinai - Bezalel from the tribe of Judah, and Aholiab from the tribe of Dan. 'Bezalel' means those in whom the good of celestial love is present, 'Aholiab' those in whom the good and truth of faith exist. Those in whom the good of celestial love is present are in the inmost part of heaven and the Church, whereas those in whom the good and truth of faith exist are in the last and lowest part of them. Thus these two men mean all persons in their entirety among whom the Church may be established; for the first and the last, or the inmost and the outermost, mean all persons or all things. For the subject in what immediately follows is the Church that is to be established; and this is why these two, by whom are meant all among whom the Church could be established, are mentioned by name. For the meaning of the first and the last as all persons and all things, see 10044; and for that of Aholiab from the tribe of Dan as those in whom the good of faith exists, and so who are in the last and lowest part of heaven or the Church, see in what follows below.

From all this it now evident that 'I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, belonging to the tribe of Judah' means those in whom the good of love is present, among whom the Church is to be established.
