1 Daarna sprak de HEERE tot Mozes, zeggende:

2 Zie, Ik heb met name geroepen Bezaleel, den zoon van Uri, den zoon van Hur, van den stam van Juda.

3 En Ik heb hem vervuld met den Geest Gods, met wijsheid, en met verstand, en met wetenschap, namelijk in alle handwerk;

4 Om te bedenken vernuftigen arbeid; te werken in goud, en in zilver, en in koper,

5 En in kunstige steensnijding, om in te zetten, en in kunstige houtsnijding, om te werken in alle handwerk.

6 En Ik, zie, Ik heb hem bijgevoegd Aholiab, den zoon van Ahisamach, van den stam van Dan; en in het hart van een iegelijk, die wijs van hart is, heb Ik wijsheid gegeven; en zij zullen maken al wat Ik u geboden heb.

7 Namelijk de tent der samenkomst, en de ark der getuigenis, en het verzoendeksel, dat daarop zal zijn, en al het gereedschap der tent;

8 En de tafel, met haar gereedschap; en den louteren kandelaar, met al zijn gereedschap; en het reukaltaar;

9 Ook des brandoffers altaar, met al zijn gereedschap; en het wasvat met zijn voet;

10 En de ambtsklederen, en de heilige klederen van den priester Aaron, en de klederen van zijn zonen, om het priesterambt te bedienen;

11 Ook de zalfolie, en het reukwerk van welriekende specerijen voor het heiligdom; naar alles, wat Ik u geboden heb, zullen zij het maken.

12 Verder sprak de HEERE tot Mozes, zeggende:

13 Gij nu, spreek tot de kinderen Israels, zeggende: Gij zult evenwel mijn sabbatten onderhouden; want dit is een teken tussen Mij en tussen ulieden, bij uw geslachten; opdat men wete, dat Ik de HEERE ben, Die u heilige.

14 Onderhoudt dan den sabbat, dewijl hij ulieden heilig is! Wie hem ontheiligt, zal zekerlijk gedood worden; want een ieder, die op denzelven enig werk doet, die ziel zal uitgeroeid worden uit het midden harer volken.

15 Zes dagen zal men het werk doen; doch op den zevenden dag is de sabbat der rust, een heiligheid des HEEREN! Wie op de sabbatdag arbeid doet, zal zekerlijk gedood worden.

16 Dat dan de kinderen Israels de sabbat houden, de sabbat onderhoudende in hun geslachten, tot een eeuwig verbond.

17 Hij zal tussen Mij en tussen de kinderen Israels een teken in eeuwigheid zijn; dewijl de HEERE, in zes dagen, den hemel en de aarde gemaakt, en op den zevenden dag gerust en Zich verkwikt heeft.

18 En Hij gaf aan Mozes, als Hij met hem op den berg Sinai te spreken geeindigd had, de twee tafelen der getuigenis, tafelen van steen, beschreven met den vinger Gods.

10422. 'They have suddenly departed from the way which I have commanded them' means that they have removed themselves from Divine Truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'departing from the way' as removing themselves from truth. 'Departing' means removing themselves, for those whose interest lies in external things separated from what is internal remove themselves; and 'the way' means truth, dealt with below. Divine Truth is what they remove themselves from because, as it says, it is the way which Jehovah has commanded them that they have departed from.

[2] The meaning of 'the way' as truth has its origin in things that appear in the spiritual world. There also ways and paths appear, and in the cities streets and lanes; and spirits do not take any except the ones leading to those whom love draws them into association with. This explains why spirits' characters as regards truth may be recognized from the way or road they go along; for all truth leads to its own love, that being called truth which lends support to what is loved. It also explains why in the everyday language people use 'the way to go' denotes that which is true; for human language derives this usage, as it does very many others, from the spiritual world.

[3] This then accounts for the meaning in the Word of 'way', 'path', 'pathway', 'track', 'street', and 'lane' as truths, and in the contrary sense falsities, as is evident from the following places: In Jeremiah,

Stand close to the ways 1 and look; ask concerning the ways of old 2 , Which way is the best? Jeremiah 6:16.

In the same prophet,

Make good your ways and your works; do not trust in lying words 3 . Jeremiah 7:3-5.

In the same prophet,

Do not learn the way of the nations 4 . Jeremiah 10:2.

In the same prophet,

I will give to each according to his ways, according to the fruit of his works. Jeremiah 17:10.

In the same prophet,

They have caused them to stumble in their ways, in the pathways of old 2 , in order that they go away [into] by-paths and not the highway. Jeremiah 18:15.

In the same prophet,

I will give them one heart and one way. Jeremiah 32:39.

In David,

Make Your ways known to me, O Jehovah, teach me Your paths; lead me in Your truth. Psalms 25:4-5.

In the Book of Judges,

In the days of Jael the ways ceased 5 . And those going along the paths went along twisting ways. Judges 5:6.

In Isaiah,

Depart from the way, cause [yourselves] to turn aside from the path. Let your ears hear the word from behind you, This is the way; go in it. Isaiah 30:11, 21.

In the same prophet,

The paths have been devastated, the wayfarer has ceased. Isaiah 33:8.

In the same prophet,

There will also be a path there and a way, which will be called the way of holiness. The unclean one will not pass through it; but it will be for them. [The one] walking in the way and fools will not go astray. Isaiah 35:8.

[4] In the same prophet,

The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of Jehovah; make level in the lonely place a path for our God. With whom did He deliberate, that He might teach Him the way of judgement, and show Him the way of intelligence? Isaiah 40:3, 14.

In the same prophet,

... to say to those who are in darkness, Reveal yourselves. They will feed along the ways. I will set all My mountains as a way; My paths will be raised up. Isaiah 49:9, 11.

In the same prophet,

The way of peace they have not known, and there is no judgement in their tracks. They have perverted their paths for themselves. He who treads that [way] will not know peace. Isaiah 59:8.

In the same prophet,

Prepare the way for the people. Level out, level out the path. Say to the daughter of Zion, Behold, your salvation comes. Isaiah 62:10-11.

In the same prophet,

I have made 6 a way in the sea, a path in the mighty waters. I will place a way in the wilderness. Isaiah 43:16, 19.

In Moses,

Cursed is the one who causes the blind to go astray in the way. Deuteronomy 27:18.

In Matthew,

Go to the ends of the ways, and whomever you find, summon to the wedding. Matthew 22:9.

In John,

Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. John 14:6.

In these places, and in very many others, 'the way' means truth and in the contrary sense falsity.
