1 너는 조각목으로 장이 오 규빗, 광이 오 규빗의 단을 만들되 네모 반듯하게 하며 고는 삼 규빗으로 하고

2 그 네 모퉁이 위에 뿔을 만들되 그 뿔이 그것에 연하게 하고 그 단을 놋으로 쌀지며

3 재를 담는 통과, 부삽과, 대야와, 고기 갈고리와, 불 옮기는 그릇을 만들되 단의 그릇을 다 놋으로 만들지며

4 단을 위하여 놋으로 그물을 만들고 그 위 네 모퉁이에 놋고리 넷을 만들고

5 그물은 단 사면 가장자리 아래 곧 단 절반에 오르게 할지며

6 또 그 단을 위하여 채를 만들되 조각목으로 만들고 놋으로 쌀지며

7 단 양편 고리에 그 채를 꿰어 단을 메게 할지며

8 단은 널판으로 비게 만들되 산에서 네게 보인대로 그들이 만들지니라 !

9 너는 성막의 뜰을 만들찌니 남을 향하여 뜰 남편에 광이 백 규빗의 세마포장을 쳐서 그 한 편을 당하게 할지니

10 그 기둥이 스물이며 그 받침 스물은 놋으로 하고 그 기둥의 갈고리와 가름대는 은으로 할찌며

11 그 북편에도 광이 백 규빗의 포장을 치되 그 기둥이 스물이며 그 기둥의 받침 스물은 놋으로 하고 그 기둥의 갈고리와 가름대는 은으로 할지며

12 뜰의 옆 곧 서편에 광 오십 규빗의 포장을 치되 그 기둥이 열이요, 받침이 열이며

13 동을 향하여 뜰 동편의 광도 오십 규빗이 될지며

14 문 이편을 위하여 포장이 십 오 규빗이며, 그 기둥이 셋이요, 받침이 셋이요

15 문 저편을 위하여도 포장이 십오 규빗이며, 그 기둥이 셋이요, 받침이 셋이며

16 뜰 문을 위하여는 청색, 자색, 홍색실과, 가늘게 꼰 베실로 수 놓아 짠 이십 규빗의 장이 있게 할지니 그 기둥이 넷이요, 받침이 넷이며

17 뜰 사면 모든 기둥의 가름대와 갈고리는 은이요, 그 받침은 놋이며

18 뜰의 장은 백 규빗이요, 광은 오십 규빗이요, 세마포장의 고는 오규빗이요, 그 받침은 놋이며

19 성막에서 쓰는 모든 기구와 그 말뚝과 뜰의 포장 말뚝을 다 놋으로 할지니라 !

20 너는 또 이스라엘 자손에게 명하여 감람으로 찧어낸 순결한 기름을 등불을 위하여 네게로 가져오게 하고 끊이지 말고 등불을 켜되

21 아론과 그 아들들로 회막한 증거궤 앞 휘장 밖에서 저녁부터 아침까지 항상 여호와 앞에 그 등불을 간검하게 하라 ! 이는 이스라엘 자손의 대대로 영원한 규례니라

905. 21:16 The city is laid out as a square. This symbolizes justice in the New Church.

The city was seen as square because a square or quadrilateral form symbolizes justice, inasmuch as a triangle symbolizes rectitude, all of these being symbols on the lowest level, which is the natural one.

A square or quadrilateral layout symbolizes justice because it has four sides, and the four sides face the four cardinal points of the compass; and to face the four cardinal points equally is to regard everything equitably. That is why there were three gates on each side giving entrance into the city, and why it is said in Isaiah,

Open the gates, that a righteous nation which keeps its fealties may enter in. (Isaiah 26:2)

The city was laid out as a square in order that its length and breadth might be equal, the length symbolizing the goodness of the New Church, and the breadth its truth, and when goodness and truth are in balance, then there is justice.

It is because a square has this symbolic meaning that we say in everyday speech that this or that man deals squarely, meaning a man who does not incline unjustly to either one party or the other.

Because a square symbolizes justice, therefore the altar of burnt offering was square (Exodus 27:1), which symbolized a worship springing from a celestial goodness and consequent truth. The altar of incense, too, was square as well (Exodus 30:1-2). And other objects also were square.

Revelation 21

Studio

   

1 I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth have passed away, and the sea is no more.

2 I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.

3 I heard a loud voice out of heaven saying, "Behold, God's dwelling is with people, and he will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.

4 He will wipe away from them every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more. The first things have passed away."

5 He who sits on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new." He said, "Write, for these words of God are faithful and true."

6 He said to me, "It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give freely to him who is thirsty from the spring of the water of life.

7 He who overcomes, I will give him these things. I will be his God, and he will be my son.

8 But for the cowardly, unbelieving, sinners, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their part is in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death."

9 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls, who were loaded with the seven last plagues came, and he spoke with me, saying, "Come here. I will show you the wife, the Lamb's bride."

10 He carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,

11 having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, as if it was a jasper stone, clear as crystal;

12 having a great and high wall; having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels; and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel.

13 On the east were three gates; and on the north three gates; and on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.

14 The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them twelve names of the twelve Apostles of the Lamb.

15 He who spoke with me had for a measure, a golden reed, to measure the city, its gates, and its walls.

16 The city lies foursquare, and its length is as great as its breadth. He measured the city with the reed, Twelve thousand Twelve stadia. Its length, breadth, and height are equal.

17 Its wall is one hundred forty-four cubits, by the measure of a man, that is, of an angel.

18 The construction of its wall was jasper. The city was pure gold, like pure glass.

19 The foundations of the city's wall were adorned with all kinds of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald;

20 the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprasus; the eleventh, jacinth; and the twelfth, amethyst.

21 The twelve gates were twelve pearls. Each one of the gates was made of one pearl. The street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.

22 I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God, the Almighty, and the Lamb, are its temple.

23 The city has no need for the sun, neither of the moon, to shine, for the very glory of God illuminated it, and its lamp is the Lamb.

24 The nations will walk in its light. The kings of the earth bring the glory and honor of the nations into it.

25 Its gates will in no way be shut by day (for there will be no night there),

26 and they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it so that they may enter.

27 There will in no way enter into it anything profane, or one who causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb's book of life.
