1 Und Mose versammelte die ganze Gemeine der Kinder Israel und sprach zu ihnen: Das ist's, das der HERR geboten hat, das ihr tun sollt:

2 Sechs Tage sollt ihr arbeiten; den siebenten Tag aber sollt ihr heilig halten, einen Sabbat der Ruhe des HERRN. Wer darinnen arbeitet, soll sterben.

3 Ihr sollt kein Feuer anzünden am Sabbattage in allen euren Wohnungen.

4 Und Mose sprach zu der ganzen Gemeine der Kinder Israel: Das ist's, das der HERR geboten hat:

5 Gebt unter euch Hebopfer dem HERRN, also daß das Hebopfer des HERRN ein jeglicher williglich bringe, Gold, Silber, Erz,

6 gelbe Seide, Scharlaken, Rosinrot, weiße Seide und Ziegenhaar,

7 rötlich Widderfell, Dachsfell und Föhrenholz,

8 Öl zur Lampe und Spezerei zur Salbe und zu gutem Räuchwerk,

9 Onyx und eingefaßte Steine zum Leibrock und zum Schildlein.

10 Und wer unter euch verständig, ist, der komme und mache, was der HERR geboten hat:

11 nämlich die Wohnung mit ihrer Hütte und Decke, Rinken, Brettern, Riegeln, Säulen und Füßen;

12 die Lade mit ihren Stangen, den Gnadenstuhl und Vorhang;

13 den Tisch mit seinen Stangen und alle seinem Geräte und die Schaubrote;

14 den Leuchter, zu leuchten, und sein Gerät und seine Lampen und das Öl zum Licht;

15 den Räuchaltar mit seinen Stangen, die Salbe und Spezerei zum Räuchwerk; das Tuch vor der Wohnung Tür;

16 den Brandopferaltar mit seinem ehernen Gitter, Stangen und alle seinem Gerät; das Handfaß mit seinem Fuße;

17 den Umhang des Vorhofs mit seinen Säulen und Füßen und das Tuch des Tors am Vorhof;

18 die Nägel der Wohnung und des Vorhofs mit ihren Säulen

19 die Kleider des Amts zum Dienst im Heiligen, die heiligen Kleider Aarons, des Priesters, mit den Kleidern seiner Söhne zum Priestertum.

20 Da ging die ganze Gemeine der Kinder Israel aus von Mose.

21 Und alle, die es gerne und williglich gaben, kamen und brachten das Hebopfer dem HERRN zum Werk der Hütte des Stifts und zu alle seinem Dienst und zu den heiligen Kleidern.

22 Es brachten aber beide, Mann und Weib, wer es williglich tat, Hefte, Ohrenrinken, Ringe und Spangen und allerlei gülden Gerät. Dazu brachte jedermann Gold zur Webe dem HERRN.

23 Und wer bei ihm fand gelbe Seide, Scharlaken, Rosinrot, weiße Seide, Ziegenhaar, rötlich Widderfell und Dachsfell, der brachte es.

24 Und wer Silber und Erz hub, der brachte es zur Hebe dem HERRN. Und wer Föhrenholz bei ihm fand, der brachte es zu allerlei Werk des Gottesdienstes.

25 Und welche verständige Weiber waren, die wirkten mit ihren Händen und brachten ihr Werk von gelber Seide, Scharlaken, Rosinrot und weißer Seide.

26 Und welche Weiber solche Arbeit konnten und willig dazu waren, die wirkten Ziegenhaar.

27 Die Fürsten aber brachten Onyx und eingefaßte Steine zum Leibrock und zum Schildlein

28 und Spezerei und Öl zu den Lichtern und zur Salbe und zu gutem Räuchwerk.

29 Also brachten die Kinder Israel williglich, beide Mann und Weib, zu allerlei Werk, das der HERR geboten hatte durch Mose, daß man's machen sollte.

30 Und Mose sprach zu den Kindern Israel: Sehet, der HERR hat mit Namen berufen den Bezaleel, den Sohn Uris, des Sohns Hurs, vom Stamm Juda,

31 und hat ihn erfüllet mit dem Geist Gottes, daß er weise, verständig, geschickt sei zu allerlei Werk,

32 künstlich zu arbeiten am Gold, Silber und Erz,

33 Edelstein schneiden und einsetzen, Holz zimmern, zu machen allerlei künstliche Arbeit.

34 Und hat ihm sein Herz unterweiset samt Ahaliab, dem Sohne Ahisamachs, vom Stamm Dan.

35 Er hat ihr Herz mit Weisheit erfüllet, zu machen allerlei Werk, zu schneiden, wirken und zu sticken mit gelber Seide, Scharlaken, Rosinrot und weißer Seide und mit Weben, daß sie machen allerlei Werk und künstliche Arbeit erfinden.

9777. '[And] all its pins and all the pins of the court, [they shall be made] from bronze' means everything that joins together and strengthens the two heavens, the middle and the lowest, through good. This is clear from the meaning of 'pins' as things that serve to join and strengthen, dealt with below; from the meaning of the dwelling-place, to which 'its' relates here, as heaven, in particular the middle heaven, dealt with in 9594, 9596, 9632; from the meaning of 'the court' as the lowest heaven, dealt with in 9741; and from the meaning of 'bronze' as external good, dealt with in 425, 1551.

[2] The reason why things that serve to join and strengthen are meant by 'pins' or pegs is that these articles do so. They have a similar meaning wherever else they are mentioned in the Word, as in Isaiah,

Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch out the curtains of your dwelling-places; do not stop [them]. Lengthen your ropes, and make your pegs firm. Isaiah 54:2.

This refers to the New Church founded by the Lord. 'Enlarging the place of the tent, and stretching out the curtains of the dwelling-places' stands for the enhancement of teachings that present what is good and true, and worship that springs from them, 9596. 'Long ropes' and 'the pegs' stand for a far-reaching connection among truths and full corroboration of them. As for the court, that this too had ropes, see Exodus 35:18; Numbers 3:37; 4:32.

[3] In Isaiah,

Look upon Zion. May your eyes see Jerusalem, a quiet dwelling-place, a tabernacle which is not overthrown. Its pegs will never be removed, and none of its ropes will be pulled away. Isaiah 33:20.

'Pegs' and 'ropes' here stand in like manner for what serves to corroborate or strengthen and join together. 'Peg' again stands for strengthening and joining together in Isaiah 41:7 and Jeremiah 10:4; but these verses refer to idols, by which teachings of what is false are meant, because they are the product of self-intelligence, 8941, 9424. A peg however on which something is hung means affixing and joining [one thing to another], in Isaiah 22:23-24, and in Ezekiel 15:3.

Arcana Coelestia #3424

3424. 'Isaac's servants dug in the valley and found there a well of living water' means the Word as regards the literal sense, which holds the internal sense within it. This is clear from the meaning of 'digging in the valley' as investigating lower down to discover where truths are, for 'digging' is investigating, and 'a valley' is that which is lower down, 1723, 3417; and from the meaning of 'a well of living water' as the Word in which Divine truths are present, thus the Word as regards the literal sense which holds the internal sense within it. It is well known that the Word is called 'a spring', in particular 'a spring of living waters'. The reason why the Word is also called 'a well' is that in relation to its other senses the sense of the letter is like a well, and that where spiritual people are concerned the Word is not a spring but a well, see 2702, 3096. Since a valley is that which is lower down, or what amounts to the same, that which is more external, and it was in the valley that the spring was found; and since the literal sense is the lower or more external sense of the Word, it is the literal sense that is therefore meant. But because that sense holds the internal sense, that is, the heavenly and Divine sense, its waters are for that reason called 'living', as also were the waters which went out under the threshold of the new house in Ezekiel,

And it will happen, that every wild creature that creeps, wherever the river comes to, is living; and there will be very many fish, for those waters go there, and become fresh; and everything is living where the river goes. Ezekiel 47:8-9.

Here 'the river' is the Word, 'the waters which cause everything to live' are the Divine Truths within it, 'fish' are facts, 40, 991.

[2] The Lord teaches that the Word of the Lord is such that it gives life to him who is thirsty, that is, to one who desires life, and that it is a spring whose waters are living, in John,

Jesus said to the woman from Samaria at Jacob's well, If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, Give Me a drink, you would ask from Him, and He would give you living water. He who drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst, but the water that I shall give him will become in him a spring of water welling up into eternal life. John 4:10, 14.

The reason why the Word is living and therefore confers life is that in its highest sense the subject is the Lord, while in the inmost sense it is His kingdom in which the Lord is everything. And this being so it is life itself which the Word contains and which flows into the minds of those who read the Word devoutly. This is why the Lord, in regard to the Word which comes from Himself, calls Himself 'a spring of water welling up into eternal life'; see also 2702.

[3] The fact that the Word of the Lord is called 'a well' in addition to 'a spring' is clear in Moses,

Israel sang the song: Spring up, O well! Answer to it! The well which the princes dug, which the chiefs of the people dug out, as directed by the Lawgiver, 1 with their staves. Numbers 21:17-18.

These words were sung at the place Beer, that is, the place of the well. In this case 'a well' means the Word which existed with the Ancient Church, as is evident from what has been said previously about the Word in 2897. 'The princes' means the first and foremost truths of which [the Word] consists - 'princes' being first and foremost truths, see 1482, 2089 - 'nobles of the people' lower truths such as those present in the literal sense, 1259, 1260, 2928, 3295. 'The Lawgiver' is clearly the Lord, 'staves' the powers which those truths possessed.
