1 Pagkatapos ay dinala niya ako sa pintuang-daan, sa makatuwid baga'y sa pintuang-daan na nakaharap sa dakong silanganan.

2 At, narito, ang kaluwalhatian ng Dios ng Israel ay nanggagaling sa dakong silanganan: at ang kaniyang tinig ay gaya ng lagaslas ng maraming tubig; at ang lupa ay nagningning sa kaniyang kaluwalhatian.

3 At ayon sa anyo ng pangitain na aking nakita, ayon sa pangitain na nakita ko nang ako'y pumaroon upang gibain ang bayan; at ang mga pangitain ay gaya ng pangitain na aking nakita sa tabi ng ilog Chebar: at ako'y nasubasob.

4 At ang kaluwalhatian ng Panginoon ay pumasok sa bahay sa daan ng pintuang-daan na nakaharap sa dakong silanganan.

5 At itinaas ako ng Espiritu, at dinala ako sa lalong loob na looban; at, narito, napuno ng kaluwalhatian ng Panginoon ang bahay.

6 At aking narinig ang isang nagsasalita sa akin mula sa bahay; at isang lalake ay tumayo sa siping ko.

7 At sinabi niya sa akin, Anak ng tao, ito ang dako ng aking luklukan, at dako ng mga talampakan ng aking mga paa, na aking tatahanan sa gitna ng mga anak ni Israel magpakailan man. At hindi na lalapastanganin pa ng sangbahayan ni Israel ang aking banal na pangalan, nila man, o ng kanilang mga hari man, ng kanilang pagpapatutot, at ng mga bangkay man ng kanilang mga hari sa kanilang mga mataas na dako;

8 Sa kanilang paglalagay ng kanilang pasukan sa tabi ng aking pasukan, at ng kanilang haligi ng pintuan sa tabi ng aking haligi ng pintuan, at wala kundi pader sa pagitan ko at nila; at kanilang nilapastangan ang aking banal na pangalan sa pamamagitan ng kanilang mga kasuklamsuklam na kanilang ginawa: kaya't aking pinugnaw sila sa aking galit.

9 Iwan nga nila ang kanilang pagpapatutot, at ilayo sa akin ang mga bangkay ng kanilang mga hari, at ako'y tatahan sa gitna nila magpakailan man.

10 Ikaw, anak ng tao, ituro mo ang bahay sa sangbahayan ni Israel, upang sila'y mangapahiya sa kanilang mga kasamaan; at sukatin nila ang anyo.

11 At kung sila'y mangapahiya sa lahat nilang ginawa, ipakilala mo sa kanila ang anyo ng bahay, at ang pagka-anyo niyaon, at ang mga labasan niyaon, at ang mga pasukan niyaon, at lahat ng anyo niyaon, at ang lahat ng mga alituntunin niyaon, at lahat ng anyo niyaon, at lahat ng kautusan niyaon; at iyong isulat yaon sa kanilang paningin; upang kanilang maingatan ang buong anyo niyaon, at ang lahat ng mga alituntunin niyaon, at kanilang isagawa.

12 Ito ang kautusan tungkol sa bahay; ang taluktok ng bundok sa buong hangganan niyaon sa palibot ay magiging kabanalbanalan. Narito, ito ang kautusan tungkol sa bahay.

13 At ito ang mga sukat ng dambana ayon sa mga siko (ang siko na pinakasukat ay isang siko at isang lapad ng kamay): ang patungan ay isang siko, at ang luwang ay isang siko, at ang gilid niyaon sa palibot ay isang dangkal; at ito ang magiging patungan ng dambana.

14 At mula sa patungan sa lupa sa lalong mababang grado ay malalagay na dalawang siko, at ang luwang ay isang siko; at mula sa lalong mababang grado hanggang sa lalong mataas na grado ay malalagay na apat na siko, at ang luwang ay isang siko.

15 At ang lalong mataas na dambana ay magiging apat na siko; at mula sa apuyan ng dambana hanggang sa dakong itaas ay magkakaroon ng apat na sungay.

16 At ang apuyan ng dambana ay magkakaroon ng labing dalawang siko ang haba at labing dalawa ang luwang, parisukat sa apat na tagiliran niyaon.

17 At ang patungan niyaon ay magkakaroon ng labing apat na siko ang haba at labing apat na siko ang luwang sa apat na tagiliran niyaon; at ang gilid sa palibot ay magiging kalahating siko; at ang patungan niyaon ay magiging isang siko sa palibot; at ang mga baytang niyaon ay paharap sa dakong silanganan.

18 At sinabi niya sa akin, Anak ng tao, ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios: Ito ang mga alituntunin tungkol sa dambana sa kaarawan na kanilang gagawin, upang paghandugan sa ibabaw ng mga handog na susunugin, at upang pagwisikan ng dugo.

19 Iyong ibibigay sa mga saserdote na mga Levita na sa angkan ni Sadoc na malapit sa akin, upang magsipangasiwa sa akin, sabi ng Panginoong Dios, ang isang guyang baka na pinakahandog dahil sa kasalanan.

20 At kukuha ka ng dugo niyaon, at ilalagay mo sa apat na sungay niyaon, at sa apat na sulok ng patungan, at sa laylayan sa palibot: ganito mo lilinisin yaon at tutubusin ito.

21 Iyo rin namang kukunin ang guyang toro na handog dahil sa kasalanan, at susunugin mo sa takdang dako ng bahay, sa labas ng santuario.

22 At sa ikalawang araw ay maghahandog ka ng kambing na lalake na walang kapintasan na pinakahandog dahil sa kasalanan; at kanilang lilinisin ang dambana gaya ng kanilang pagkalilis sa pamamagitan ng guyang toro.

23 Pagka ikaw ay nakatapos ng paglilinis, maghahandog ka ng isang guyang toro na walang kapintasan, at isang lalaking tupa na mula sa kawan na walang kapintasan.

24 At iyong ilalapit ang mga yaon sa harap ng Panginoon, at hahagisan ng asin ang mga yaon ng mga saserdote, at kanilang ihahandog na pinakahandog na susunugin sa Panginoon.

25 Pitong araw na maghahanda ka sa bawa't araw ng isang kambing na pinakahandog dahil sa kasalanan: maghahanda rin sila ng guyang toro, at isang lalaking tupang mula sa kawan, na walang kapintasan.

26 Pitong araw na kanilang tutubusin ang dambana at lilinisin; gayon nila itatalaga.

27 At pagka kanilang naganap ang mga kaarawan, mangyayari na sa ikawalong araw, at sa haharapin, maghahandog ang mga saserdote ng inyong mga handog na susunugin sa ibabaw ng dambana, at ang inyong mga handog tungkol sa kapayapaan; at aking tatanggapin kayo, sabi ng Panginoong Dios.

4545. 'And be purified, and change your garments' means the holiness that was to be put on. This is clear from the meaning of 'being purified' or being cleansed as being made holy, dealt with below, and from the meaning of 'changing one's garments' as putting on, in this case putting on holy truths, for in the internal sense of the Word truths are meant by 'garments'. It is quite evident that 'changing one's garments' was an accepted representative within the Church, but what that custom represented no one can know unless he knows what 'garments' means in the internal sense - namely truths, see 2576. Because in the internal sense the casting aside of falsities and the arrangement by good of truths within the natural is the subject here, it is therefore recorded that Jacob commanded them to change their garments.

[2] 'Changing their garments' was representative of the need to put on holy truths, as may also be seen from other places in the Word, as in Isaiah,

Awake, awake, put on your strength, O Zion, put on your beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city, for there will no more come into you the uncircumcised and the unclean. Isaiah 52:1.

Since 'Zion' means the celestial Church and 'Jerusalem' the spiritual Church, and the celestial Church is that which dwells in good by virtue of its love to the Lord, and the spiritual Church in truth by virtue of its faith and charity, 'strength' is therefore used in reference to Zion, and 'garments' in reference to Jerusalem. And when clothed with these the two are 'clean'.

[3] In Zechariah,

Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and so stood before the angel. And [the angel] answered and said to those standing before him - he said - Remove the filthy garments from upon him. And he said to him, See, I have caused your iniquity to pass away from upon you, by putting on you a change of garments Zechariah 3:3-4.

From this place too it is evident that 'removing garments' and 'putting on a change of garments' represented purification from falsities, for the words 'I have caused your iniquity to pass away from upon you' are used. This also explains why people had changes of garments - which they called simply 'changes', an expression occurring in various places in the Word - because different representations were set forth by means of those changes.

[4] Because the kinds of things mentioned here were represented by changes of garments it is therefore said in Ezekiel, in the description of the new Temple, which in the internal sense means a new Church,

When the priests enter they shall not go out of the holy place to the outer court, but there shall lay aside their garments in which they have ministered, for these are holy, 1 and they shall put on other garments and go near the things which are for the people. Ezekiel 42:14.

And in the same prophet,

When they go out to the outer court, to the people, they shall put off their garments in which they have been ministering and lay them in the holy chambers, and they shall put on other garments, and they shall not sanctify the people in their own garments. 2 Ezekiel 44:19.

[5] Anyone may see that a new temple and the holy city and land which are referred to by the prophet in this chapter, and in the chapters before and after it, are not used to mean any new temple, new city, or new land. For reference is made to sacrifices and religious ceremonies being introduced anew, when in fact these had to be brought to an end; and mention is also made of how the tribes of Israel, referred to by name, were to divide the land among themselves into inheritances, when in fact they were dispersed and never returned to the land. From this it is evident that the religious ceremonies referred to in those chapters mean the spiritual and celestial things constituting the Church. Much the same is meant by Aaron's change of garments when he was going to minister, to offer a burnt offering; in Moses,

He shall put on his linen robe, and linen breeches. He shall place the ashes at the side of the altar. After he takes off his own garments and puts on other garments he shall carry away the ashes to a clean place outside the camp. Leviticus 6:9-12.

This was what he had to do when offering the burnt offering.

[6] As regards 'being cleansed' meaning being made holy, this may be seen from the cleansings that were commanded, such as the command to wash their flesh and their garments, and the command to be sprinkled with the waters of separation. Everyone who knows anything about the spiritual man may also recognize that nobody is made holy by carrying out commands such as these. For what does iniquity or sin have to do with the garments a person is wearing? Yet it is stated several times that after people had cleansed themselves they would be holy. From this it is also evident that such rituals which the Israelites were commanded to carry out were in no way holy except by virtue of their representation of holy things, and that as a consequence people who served as representers did not on that account become holy persons. It was the holiness they represented, quite apart from them as actual persons, that stirred the affections of the spirits present with them, and through these the affections of the angels in heaven, 4307.

[7] For in order that the human race may be kept in being, human beings must of necessity live in communication with heaven; and that communication is effected through the Church. Otherwise human beings would become like animals, lacking any restraints internally or externally, so that all would plunge unchecked into the destruction of others and would annihilate one another. And because in the time of the Israelites no communication through any Church was possible, the Lord therefore provided in an amazing way for a communication to be effected by means of representatives. It is evident from many places in the Word that being made holy was represented by the ritual observance of washing and cleansing, as when Jehovah came down on Mount Sinai and then said to Moses,

Make them holy today and tomorrow, and let them wash their garments and be ready on the third day. Exodus 19:10-11.

In Ezekiel,

I will sprinkle clean water over you, and you will be cleansed from all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols I will cleanse you. And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit will I give in the midst of you. Ezekiel 36:25-26.

Here it is plain that 'sprinkling clean water' represented purification of the heart, so that 'being cleansed' means being made holy.

19 When they go forth into the outer court, even into the outer court to the people, they shall put off their garments in which they minister, and lay them in the holy rooms; and they shall put on other garments, that they not sanctify the people with their garments.
