Ezekiel 43

Estudio

   

1 Kaj li venigis min al la pordego, al tiu pordego, kiu estas turnita orienten.

2 Kaj jen la majesto de la Dio de Izrael estis venanta laux la orienta vojo; kaj Lia vocxo estis kiel la bruo de granda akvo; kaj la tero lumigxis de Lia majesto.

3 Tio estis vizio simila al tiu vizio, kiun mi vidis antauxe, kiam mi iris, por antauxdiri pereon al la urbo, kaj vizio simila al tiu, kiun mi vidis cxe la rivero Kebar. Kaj mi jxetis min vizagxaltere.

4 Kaj la majesto de la Eternulo eniris en la domon tra la pordego, kiu estis turnita orienten.

5 Kaj levis min la spirito, kaj venigis min sur la internan korton; kaj jen la majesto de la Eternulo plenigis la domon.

6 Kaj mi auxdis, ke Iu parolas al mi el la domo, kaj viro staris apud mi.

7 Kaj estis dirite al mi:Ho filo de homo! jen estas la loko de Mia trono, kaj la loko de la plandoj de Miaj piedoj, kie Mi logxos eterne inter la Izraelidoj; kaj la domo de Izrael ne plu malpurigos Mian sanktan nomon, nek ili nek iliaj regxoj, per sia malcxastado kaj per la kadavrajxoj de siaj regxoj sur iliaj altajxoj.

8 Ili starigis sian sojlon apud Mia sojlo kaj siajn fostojn apud Miaj fostoj, tie ke nur muro estis inter Mi kaj ili; kaj ili malpurigis Mian sanktan nomon per siaj abomenindajxoj, kiujn ili faris; tial Mi pereigis ilin en Mia kolero.

9 Sed nun ili forigos de Mi sian malcxastajxon kaj la kadavrajxojn de siaj regxoj, kaj Mi logxos inter ili eterne.

10 Vi, ho filo de homo, montru al la domo de Izrael cxi tiun domon, por ke ili ekhontu pri siaj malbonagoj kaj alkonformigu sin al gxia arangxo.

11 Kaj se ili ekhontos pri cxio, kion ili faris, tiam montru al ili la bildon de la domo, gxian arangxon, gxiajn elirojn kaj enirojn, cxiujn gxiajn manierojn kaj legxojn, cxiujn gxiajn morojn kaj instrukciojn, kaj priskribu cxion antaux iliaj okuloj, por ke ili observu cxiujn gxiajn instrukciojn kaj legxojn kaj plenumu ilin.

12 Jen estas la legxo por la domo:la tuta spaco sur la supro de la monto cxirkauxe estas plejsanktejo; tio estas la legxo por la domo.

13 Kaj jen estas la mezuroj de la altaro laux ulnoj, kun aldono po manlargxo por cxiu ulno:la bazo havu unu ulnon kaj la largxo unu ulnon, kaj la listelo cxe gxia rando cxirkauxe havu la largxon de unu manstrecxo; kaj tia estu la dorso de la altaro.

14 Kaj de la bazo sur la tero gxis la malsupra elstarajxo devas esti du ulnoj, kaj la largxo estu unu ulno; kaj de la malgranda elstarajxo gxis la granda elstarajxo estu kvar ulnoj, kaj la largxo unu ulno.

15 Kaj la altaro mem havu kvar ulnojn, kaj de la altaro levigxu supren kvar kornoj.

16 Kaj la altaro havu dek du ulnojn da longo kaj dek du ulnojn da largxo, gxi estu kvadrata sur cxiuj siaj kvar flankoj.

17 Kaj la elstarajxo havu dek kvar ulnojn da longo kaj dek kvar ulnojn da largxo sur cxiuj siaj kvar flankoj, kaj la listelo cxirkaux gxi havu duonon de ulno, kaj gxia bazo cxirkauxe havu unu ulnon; kaj gxiaj sxtupoj devas esti cxe la orienta flanko.

18 Kaj Li diris al mi:Ho filo de homo! tiele diras la Sinjoro, la Eternulo:Tio estas la legxoj por la altaro por tiu tago, kiam oni konstruos gxin, por alportadi sur gxi bruloferojn kaj aspergadi gxin per sango.

19 Kaj al la pastroj Levidoj el la idaro de Cadok, kiuj alproksimigxos al Mi, por servi al Mi, diras la Sinjoro, la Eternulo, donu bovidon kiel pekoferon.

20 Kaj prenu iom el gxia sango, kaj sxprucigu sur gxiajn kvar kornojn kaj sur la kvar angulojn de la elstarajxo kaj sur la listelon cxirkauxe; kaj per tio vi gxin purigos kaj pekliberigos.

21 Poste prenu la pekoferan bovidon, kaj forbruligu gxin sur aparta loko de la domo ekster la sanktejo.

22 Kaj en la sekvanta tago alportu virkapron sendifektan kiel pekoferon; kaj oni pekliberigu la altaron tiel same, kiel oni pekliberigis per la bovido.

23 Kiam vi finos la pekliberigon, alportu bovidon sendifektan, kaj sendifektan virsxafon el la sxafoj;

24 kaj alportu ilin antaux la Eternulon, kaj la pastroj jxetu sur ilin salon kaj faru el ili bruloferon al la Eternulo.

25 Dum sep tagoj alportu cxiutage pekoferan kapron; kaj ili alportu po unu bovido el la bovoj kaj po unu virsxafo el la sxafoj, sendifektajn.

26 Dum sep tagoj oni pekliberigu la altaron kaj purigu gxin kaj konsekru gxin.

27 Kiam finigxos tiuj tagoj, komencante de la oka tago kaj plue, la pastroj farados sur la altaro viajn bruloferojn kaj viajn pacoferojn; kaj Mi estos favora al vi, diras la Sinjoro, la Eternulo.

10253. 'Five hundred [shekels]' means what is complete. This is clear from the meaning of the number 'five hundred' as what is complete. The reason why 'five hundred' has this meaning is that this number is the product of five multiplied by ten tens, or fives times a hundred; and 'five' means much, as do 'ten' and 'a hundred', and therefore 'five hundred' means what is complete.

'Five' means much, see 5708, 5956, 9102, as likewise does 'ten', 3107, 4638, and also 'a hundred', 4400, 6582, 6594.

All numbers in the Word mean spiritual realities, see in the places referred to in 9488.

Compound numbers have a similar meaning to the simple ones that give rise to them through multiplication, 5291, 5335, 5708, 7973.

[2] The fact that numbers mean spiritual realities is perfectly clear in Ezekiel, where the house of God, together with everything there inside and outside, and also the new earth or land, are measured and are described by numbers pertaining to measure, in Chapters 40-48. By the new land there the Church should be understood, and by the house of God its holiness. The same is so in John, in the Book of Revelation, where also a new Jerusalem is described by the numbers where measurements are given, by which too a new Church should be understood. Unless the numbers had meant spiritual realities all those measurements would have been pointless.

[3] 'Five hundred' means the whole from one end to the other, thus what is complete. This is clear from those chapters in Ezekiel,

He measured outside the house (or the temple), to the east quarter five hundred rods round about, to the north quarter five hundred rods round about, to the south quarter five hundred rods, and to the west quarter 1 five hundred rods. Its wall round about, the length was five hundred rods, and the breadth five hundred rods, to distinguish between the holy and the profane. Ezekiel 42:15-20.

From these words it is evident that 'five hundred' means the whole in its entirety, or everything holy from one end to the other, thus what is complete; for it says that the wall, which - according to this account of its length and breadth - formed a square, served to distinguish the holy from the profane.

[4] 'Five hundred' also means much, while a tenth of that number or fifty means some. This is clear from the Lord's words addressed to Simon, in Luke,

Jesus said, There were two debtors who had a certain creditor. One owed five hundred denarii, but the other fifty. When they did not have [anything with which] to repay, he forgave them both. Which of the two loves him more? Simon answered, The one to whom he forgave more. Jesus said, So have the many sins of the woman been forgiven, because she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, [that person] loves little. Luke 7:41-end.

The reason why the Lord used those numbers was that they meant much and some; for He spoke from a Divine [perspective], thus used words carrying a spiritual meaning, in accord with correspondences. The same is so everywhere else, as when He spoke about the virgins, of whom - He said - there were ten, and that five were wise and five were foolish. He spoke of ten because that number means all, that is to say, all who belong to the Church, and of five because this number means some, see 4637, 4638.

1 Now these are the names of the tribes: From the north end, beside the way of Hethlon to the entrance of Hamath, Hazar Enan at the border of Damascus, northward beside Hamath, (and they shall have their sides east [and] west), Dan, one [portion].

2 By the border of Dan, from the east side to the west side, Asher, one [portion].

3 By the border of Asher, from the east side even to the west side, Naphtali, one [portion].

4 By the border of Naphtali, from the east side to the west side, Manasseh, one [portion].

5 By the border of Manasseh, from the east side to the west side, Ephraim, one [portion].

6 By the border of Ephraim, from the east side even to the west side, Reuben, one [portion].

7 By the border of Reuben, from the east side to the west side, Judah, one [portion].

8 By the border of Judah, from the east side to the west side, shall be the offering which you shall offer, twenty-five thousand [reeds] in breadth, and in length as one of the portions, from the east side to the west side: and the sanctuary shall be in its midst.

9 The offering that you shall offer to Yahweh shall be twenty-five thousand [reeds] in length, and ten thousand in breadth.

10 For these, even for the priests, shall be the holy offering: toward the north twenty-five thousand [in length], and toward the west ten thousand in breadth, and toward the east ten thousand in breadth, and toward the south twenty-five thousand in length: and the sanctuary of Yahweh shall be in its midst.

11 [It shall be] for the priests who are sanctified of the sons of Zadok, who have kept my instruction, who didn't go astray when the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray.

12 It shall be to them an offering from the offering of the land, a thing most holy, by the border of the Levites.

13 Answerable to the border of the priests, the Levites shall have twenty-five thousand in length, and ten thousand in breadth: all the length shall be twenty-five thousand, and the breadth ten thousand.

14 They shall sell none of it, nor exchange it, nor shall the first fruits of the land be alienated; for it is holy to Yahweh.

15 The five thousand that are left in the breadth, in front of the twenty-five thousand, shall be for common use, for the city, for dwelling and for suburbs; and the city shall be in its midst.

16 These shall be its measures: the north side four thousand and five hundred, and the south side four thousand and five hundred, and on the east side four thousand and five hundred, and the west side four thousand and five hundred.

17 The city shall have suburbs: toward the north two hundred fifty, and toward the south two hundred fifty, and toward the east two hundred fifty, and toward the west two hundred fifty.

18 The remainder in the length, answerable to the holy offering, shall be ten thousand eastward, and ten thousand westward; and it shall be answerable to the holy offering; and its increase shall be for food to those who labor in the city.

19 Those who labor in the city, out of all the tribes of Israel, shall cultivate it.

20 All the offering shall be twenty-five thousand by twenty-five thousand: you shall offer the holy offering foursquare, with the possession of the city.

21 The residue shall be for the prince, on the one side and on the other of the holy offering and of the possession of the city; in front of the twenty-five thousand of the offering toward the east border, and westward in front of the twenty-five thousand toward the west border, answerable to the portions, it shall be for the prince: and the holy offering and the sanctuary of the house shall be in its midst.

22 Moreover from the possession of the Levites, and from the possession of the city, being in the midst of that which is the prince's, between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin, it shall be for the prince.

23 As for the rest of the tribes: from the east side to the west side, Benjamin, one [portion].

24 By the border of Benjamin, from the east side to the west side, Simeon, one [portion].

25 By the border of Simeon, from the east side to the west side, Issachar, one [portion].

26 By the border of Issachar, from the east side to the west side, Zebulun, one [portion].

27 By the border of Zebulun, from the east side to the west side, Gad, one [portion].

28 By the border of Gad, at the south side southward, the border shall be even from Tamar to the waters of Meribath Kadesh, to the brook [of Egypt], to the great sea.

29 This is the land which you shall divide by lot to the tribes of Israel for inheritance, and these are their several portions, says the Lord Yahweh.

30 These are the exits of the city: On the north side four thousand and five hundred [reeds] by measure;

31 and the gates of the city shall be after the names of the tribes of Israel, three gates northward: the gate of Reuben, one; the gate of Judah, one; the gate of Levi, one.

32 At the east side four thousand and five hundred [reeds], and three gates: even the gate of Joseph, one; the gate of Benjamin, one; the gate of Dan, one.

33 At the south side four thousand and five hundred [reeds] by measure, and three gates: the gate of Simeon, one; the gate of Issachar, one; the gate of Zebulun, one.

34 At the west side four thousand and five hundred [reeds], with their three gates: the gate of Gad, one; the gate of Asher, one; the gate of Naphtali, one.

35 It shall be eighteen thousand [reeds] around: and the name of the city from that day shall be, Yahweh is there.
