1 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens :

2 Loquere filiis Israël, ut tollant mihi primitias : ab omni homine qui offeret ultroneus, accipietis eas.

3 Hæc sunt autem quæ accipere debeatis : aurum, et argentum, et æs,

4 hyacinthum et purpuram, coccumque bis tinctum, et byssum, pilos caprarum,

5 et pelles arietum rubricatas, pellesque janthinas, et ligna setim :

6 oleum ad luminaria concinnanda : aromata in unguentum, et thymiamata boni odoris :

7 lapides onychinos, et gemmas ad ornandum ephod, ac rationale.

8 Facientque mihi sanctuarium, et habitabo in medio eorum :

9 juxta omnem similitudinem tabernaculi quod ostendam tibi, et omnium vasorum in cultum ejus. Sicque facietis illud :

10 arcam de lignis setim compingite, cujus longitudo habeat duos et semis cubitos : latitudo, cubitum et dimidium : altitudo, cubitum similiter ac semissem.

11 Et deaurabis eam auro mundissimo intus et foris : faciesque supra, coronam auream per circuitum :

12 et quatuor circulos aureos, quos pones per quatuor arcæ angulos : duo circuli sint in latere uno, et duo in altero.

13 Facies quoque vectes de lignis setim, et operies eos auro.

14 Inducesque per circulos qui sunt in arcæ lateribus, ut portetur in eis :

15 qui semper erunt in circulis, nec umquam extrahentur ab eis.

16 Ponesque in arca testificationem quam dabo tibi.

17 Facies et propitiatorium de auro mundissimo : duos cubitos et dimidium tenebit longitudo ejus, et cubitum ac semissem latitudo.

18 Duos quoque cherubim aureos et productiles facies, ex utraque parte oraculi.

19 Cherub unus sit in latere uno, et alter in altero.

20 Utrumque latus propitiatorii tegant expandentes alas, et operientes oraculum, respiciantque se mutuo versis vultibus in propitiatorium quo operienda est arca,

21 in qua pones testimonium quod dabo tibi.

22 Inde præcipiam, et loquar ad te supra propitiatorium, ac de medio duorum cherubim, qui erunt super arcam testimonii, cuncta quæ mandabo per te filiis Israël.

23 Facies et mensam de lignis setim, habentem duos cubitos longitudinis, et in latitudine cubitum, et in altitudine cubitum et semissem.

24 Et inaurabis eam auro purissimo : faciesque illi labium aureum per circuitum,

25 et ipsi labio coronam interrasilem altam quatuor digitis : et super illam, alteram coronam aureolam.

26 Quatuor quoque circulos aureos præparabis, et pones eis in quatuor angulis ejusdem mensæ per singulos pedes.

27 Subter coronam erunt circuli aurei, ut mittantur vectes per eos, et possit mensa portari.

28 Ipsos quoque vectes facies de lignis setim, et circumdabis auro ad subvehendam mensam.

29 Parabis et acetabula, ac phialas, thuribula, et cyathos, in quibus offerenda sunt libamina, ex auro purissimo.

30 Et pones super mensam panes propositionis in conspectu meo semper.

31 Facies et candelabrum ductile de auro mundissimo, hastile ejus, et calamos, scyphos, et sphærulas, ac lilia ex ipso procedentia.

32 Sex calami egredientur de lateribus, tres ex uno latere, et tres ex altero.

33 Tres scyphi quasi in nucis modum per calamos singulos, sphærulaque simul, et lilium : et tres similiter scyphi instar nucis in calamo altero, sphærulaque simul et lilium. Hoc erit opus sex calamorum, qui producendi sunt de hastili :

34 in ipso autem candelabro erunt quatuor scyphi in nucis modum, sphærulæque per singulos, et lilia.

35 Sphærulæ sub duobus calamis per tria loca, qui simul sex fiunt procedentes de hastili uno.

36 Et sphærulæ igitur et calami ex ipso erunt, universa ductilia de auro purissimo.

37 Facies et lucernas septem, et pones eas super candelabrum, ut luceant ex adverso.

38 Emunctoria quoque, et ubi quæ emuncta sunt extinguantur, fiant de auro purissimo.

39 Omne pondus candelabri cum universis vasis suis habebit talentum auri purissimi.

40 Inspice, et fac secundum exemplar quod tibi in monte monstratum est.

9467. 'And purple' means the celestial love of good. This is clear from the meaning of 'purple' as the celestial love of good, the reason why this love is meant by 'purple' being that by the colour red the good of celestial love is meant. For there are two basic colours from which all others are derived, the colour red and the colour white. The colour red means good which belongs to love, while the colour white means truth which belongs to faith. The reason why red means good belonging to love is that this colour exists before all else as fire, and fire means the good of love; and the reason why white means truth belonging to faith is that before all else that colour is light, and light means the truth of faith.

'Fire' means the good of love, see 5215, 6314, 6832, 6834, 6849, 7324, 9434.

'Light' means the truth of faith, 2776, 3195, 3636, 3643, 3993, 4302, 4413, 4415, 5400, 8644, 8707, 8861, 9399, 9407.

'Red' means the good of love, 3300.

'White' means the truth of faith, 3993, 4007, 5319.

[2] From all this it is evident what all other colours mean; for in the measure that they are derived from red they mean good belonging to love, and in the measure that they are derived from white they mean truth belonging to faith. All the colours that appear in heaven are modifications of heavenly light and flame, on those two levels. For heavenly light is real light; and essentially it is Divine Truth emanating from the Lord's Divine Good. Therefore modifications of that light and flame are different variations of truth and good, and so of intelligence and wisdom.

[3] All this now shows how it came about that the veils and curtains of the tent, and also Aaron's garments, were to be woven out of violet, purple, twice-dyed scarlet, and linen thread, Exodus 25:4; 26:31, 36; 27:16; 28:6, 15, namely in order that celestial realities belonging to good and spiritual realities belonging to truth, which are the subject in what follows below, might be represented by them.

[4] Good from a celestial origin is again meant by 'purple' in Ezekiel,

Fine linen with embroidered work from Egypt was your sail; violet and purple from the islands of Elishah was your covering. Ezekiel 27:7.

This refers to Tyre, by which cognitions or knowledge of truth and good are meant. 'Violet and purple covering' stands for cognitions of truth and good from a heavenly origin.

[5] Similar things are meant by 'purple and fine linen' in Luke,

There was a certain rich man (homo) who was clothed in purple and fine linen and indulged in delicacies splendidly every day. Luke 16:19.

'A rich man' is used to mean in the internal sense the Jewish nation, and the Church there, which was said to be 'rich' because of the cognitions or knowledge of good and truth from the Word which existed there. Garments of 'purple and fine linen' are those cognitions, 'of purple' meaning cognitions of good, and 'of fine linen' cognitions of truth, both from a heavenly origin because they come from the Divine. 'Purple' also has a similar meaning in the Book of Revelation,

The woman sitting on a scarlet beast was clothed in purple and scarlet. Revelation 17:3-4.

This refers to Babylon, which means the Church where the holy things of the Word are put to unholy ends, that is, to exercising control in heaven and on earth, and so to ends that spring from hellish self-love and love of the world.
