Exodo 40

Studie

   

1 At sinalita ng Panginoon kay Moises na sinasabi,

2 Sa unang araw ng unang buwan ay iyong itatayo ang tabernakulo ng kapisanan.

3 At iyong isisilid doon ang kaban ng patotoo, at iyong tatabingan ang kaban ng lambong.

4 At iyong ipapasok ang dulang, at iyong aayusin ang mga bagay na nasa ibabaw niyaon; at iyong ipapasok ang kandelero at iyong sisindihan ang mga ilawan niyaon.

5 At iyong ilalagay ang dambanang ginto para sa kamangyan sa harap ng kaban ng patotoo, at ilalagay mo ang tabing ng pintuan sa tabernakulo.

6 At iyong ilalagay ang dambanang pagsusunugan ng handog sa harap ng pintuan ng tabernakulo ng kapisanan.

7 At iyong ilalagay ang hugasan sa pagitan ng tabernakulo at ng dambana, at iyong sisidlan ng tubig.

8 At iyong ilalagay ang looban sa palibot, at ibibitin mo ang tabing sa pintuang daan ng looban.

9 At kukuha ka ng langis na pangpahid, at papahiran mo ang tabernakulo, at lahat na nandoon, at iyong pakakabanalin, at lahat ng kasangkapan niyaon: at magiging banal.

10 At iyong papahiran ng langis ang dambanang pagsusunugan ng handog, at ang lahat ng kasangkapan, at iyong pakakabanalin ang dambana: at ang dambana ay magiging kabanalbanalan.

11 At iyong papahiran din naman ng langis ang hugasan at ang tungtungan, at iyong pakakabanalin.

12 At iyong dadalhin si Aaron at ang kaniyang mga anak sa pintuan ng tabernakulo ng kapisanan, at iyong paliliguan ng tubig.

13 At iyong isusuot kay Aaron ang mga banal na kasuutan; at iyong papahiran ng langis siya, at iyong papagbanalin siya, upang siya'y makapangasiwa sa akin sa katungkulang saserdote.

14 At iyong dadalhin ang kaniyang mga anak, at iyong susuutan sila ng mga kasuutan:

15 At iyong papahiran ng langis sila gaya ng iyong pagkapahid sa kanilang ama, upang sila'y makapangasiwa sa akin sa katungkulang saserdote, at ang pagpapahid sa kanila ay maging sa kanila'y pinakatanda ng walang hanggang pagka-saserdote sa buong panahon ng kanilang lahi.

16 Gayon ginawa ni Moises, ayon sa lahat ng iniutos ng Panginoon sa kaniya, ay gayong ginawa niya.

17 At nangyari sa unang buwan nang ikalawang taon nang unang araw ng buwan, na ang tabernakulo'y itinayo.

18 At itinayo ni Moises ang tabernakulo, at inilagay ang mga tungtungan, at ipinatong ang mga malaking tabla, at isinuot ang mga barakilan, at itinayo ang mga haligi niyaon.

19 At kaniyang inunat ang tolda sa ibabaw ng tabernakulo, at kaniyang inilagay ang takip ng tabernakulo sa itaas ng ibabaw niyaon; gaya ng iniutos ng Panginoon kay Moises.

20 At kaniyang kinuha at inilagay ang mga tabla ng patotoo sa loob ng kaban, at kaniyang inilagay ang mga pingga sa kaban, at kaniyang inilagay ang luklukan ng awa sa itaas ng ibabaw ng kaban:

21 At kaniyang ipinasok ang kaban sa tabernakulo, at inayos ang lambong ng tabing, at tinabingan ang kaban ng patotoo: gaya ng iniutos ng Panginoon kay Moises.

22 At kaniyang inilagay ang dulang sa loob ng tabernakulo ng kapisanan, sa dakong hilagaan ng tabernakulo, sa labas ng lambong.

23 At kaniyang inayos ang tinapay sa ibabaw ng dulang sa harap ng Panginoon, gaya ng iniutos ng Panginoon kay Moises.

24 At kaniyang inilagay ang kandelero sa tabernakulo ng kapisanan, sa tapat ng dulang, sa tagilirang timugan ng tabernakulo.

25 At kaniyang sinindihan ang mga ilawan sa harap ng Panginoon; gaya ng iniutos ng Panginoon kay Moises.

26 At kaniyang inilagay ang dambanang ginto sa loob ng tabernakulo ng kapisanan sa harap ng lambong.

27 At siya'y nagsunog doon ng kamangyan na mabangong espesia; gaya ng iniutos ng Panginoon kay Moises.

28 At kaniyang inilagay ang tabing ng pintuan sa tabernakulo.

29 At kaniyang inilagay ang dambanang pagsusunugan ng handog sa pintuan ng tabernakulo ng kapisanan, at pinaghandugan ng handog na susunugin, at ng handog na harina; gaya ng iniutos ng Panginoon kay Moises.

30 At kaniyang inilagay ang hugasan sa pagitan ng tabernakulo, ng kapisanan at ng dambana, at sinidlan ng tubig upang paghugasan.

31 At si Moises at si Aaron at ang kaniyang mga anak, ay nagsipaghugas doon ng kanilang mga kamay at ng kanilang mga paa;

32 Pagka sila'y pumapasok sa tabernakulo ng kapisanan, at pagka sila'y lumalapit sa dambana ay naghuhugas sila: gaya ng iniutos ng Panginoon kay Moises.

33 At kaniyang inilagay ang looban sa palibot ng tabernakulo at ng dambana, at iniayos ang tabing ng pintuang daan ng looban. Gayon tinapos ni Moises ang gawain.

34 Nang magkagayo'y tinakpan ng ulap ang tabernakulo ng kapisanan, at pinuno ng Panginoon ng kaluwalhatian ang tabernakulo.

35 At si Moises ay hindi makapasok sa tabernakulo ng kapisanan, sapagka't lumagay sa ibabaw niyaon ang ulap, at pinuspos ng Panginoon ng kaluwalhatian ang tabernakulo.

36 At pagka ang ulap ay napaiitaas mula sa tabernakulo, ay nagpapatuloy ang mga anak ni Israel sa kanilang buong paglalakbay:

37 Datapuwa't kung ang ulap ay hindi napaiitaas, ay hindi nga sila naglalakbay hanggang sa araw na napaiitaas.

38 Sapagka't ang ulap ng Panginoon ay nasa ibabaw ng tabernakulo sa araw, at may apoy sa loob niyaon sa gabi, sa paningin ng buong lahi ng Israel, sa kanilang buong paglalakbay.

Apocalypse Revealed # 529

529. Then the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple. (11:19) This symbolizes the New Heaven, in which the Lord is worshiped in His Divine humanity, and where people live in accordance with the Ten Commandments, which constitute the two essential elements of the New Church that are the means of conjunction.

The temple of God symbolizes the Lord's Divine humanity, also heaven where angels dwell, and likewise the church on earth. To be shown that the temple of God has these three symbolic meanings, and that the three cannot be separated, see no. 191. Here, however, the temple of God symbolizes the Lord in His Divine humanity in heaven where angels dwell, because it is said to be the temple of God in heaven. The ark in the temple means the Ten Commandments, for the ark had as its sole contents the two tables on which the Ten Commandments were written. 1 The temple's being opened means, symbolically, that these two, the Divine humanity and the Ten Commandments, which are the two essential elements of the New Church, are now visible, and that they became visible after the evil were cast into hell (no. 528). The ark is called the ark of His covenant in His temple because a covenant symbolizes conjunction, as we will see below. But first we must say something about the Ten Commandments.

[2] What nation in the entire world does not know that it is evil to kill, commit adultery, steal, and bear false witness? If nations did not know this and enact laws to keep people from doing these things, it would be all over with them. For society, the republic, or kingdom would collapse without these laws.

Who can suppose that the Israelite nation was so stupid in comparison to all other nations as not to know that such actions are evil? One may wonder, therefore, why these laws, being so universally known throughout the whole world, were promulgated by Jehovah Himself from Mount Sinai, attended by the great miracle they were, and written, moreover, with His finger.

But listen, they were promulgated by Jehovah with such a great miracle and written with His finger in order that people might know that these laws are not only civil and moral laws, but also spiritual laws, and that to disobey them is not only to do evil to one's fellow citizen and to society, but is also to sin against God. Their promulgation by Jehovah from Mount Sinai made them therefore laws of religion. For it is evident that whatever Jehovah God commands, He commands to make it a matter of religion, so that it must be obeyed for His sake, and for a person's own sake, that he may be saved.

[3] Because these laws were the first elements of the church to be established by the Lord with the Israelite nation, and because they embrace in brief summary everything having to do with religion which makes possible a conjunction of the Lord with a person and of a person with the Lord, therefore they were so holy that nothing was more holy.

That they were so very holy can be seen from the following: That Jehovah Himself, that is to say, the Lord, descended in fire; that the mountain then smoked and quaked; and that this was attended by thunderings, lightnings, a thick cloud, and the sound of a trumpet (Exodus 19:16, 18, Deuteronomy 5:22-26). That before Jehovah descended, the people readied themselves and sanctified themselves for three days (Exodus 19:10-11, 15). That in the Temple at Jerusalem the Ark constituted the inner sanctuary (1 Kings 6:19ff., 8:3-9). That the tablets on which the Law was written were called the tablets of the covenant, and because of them the Ark was called the ark of the covenant, with the Law itself being called the covenant (Numbers 10:33, Deuteronomy 4:13, 23; 5:2-3; 9:9, Joshua 3:11, 1 Kings 8:19, 21, and elsewhere).

The Law's being called a covenant symbolizes conjunction. The reason is that covenants are made for the sake of love, friendship, and association, thus for the sake of conjunction. That is why we find it said of the Lord that He will be "a covenant to the people" (Isaiah 42:6; 49:8), and He is called "the Messenger of the covenant" (Malachi 3:1). His blood also is called "the blood of the covenant" (Matthew 26:28, cf. Zechariah 9:11, Exodus 24:4-10). And therefore the Word is called the Old and New Testaments or Covenants.

Deuteronomy 5:22-26

Studie

      

22 These words Yahweh spoke to all your assembly on the mountain out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more. He wrote them on two tables of stone, and gave them to me.

23 It happened, when you heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, while the mountain was burning with fire, that you came near to me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;

24 and you said, "Behold, Yahweh our God has shown us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire: we have seen this day that God does speak with man, and he lives.

25 Now therefore why should we die? For this great fire will consume us: if we hear the voice of Yahweh our God any more, then we shall die.

26 For who is there of all flesh, that has heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived?
