1 너희는 제비 뽑아 땅을 나누어 기업을 삼을 때에 한 구역을 거룩한 땅으로 삼아 여호와께 예물로 드릴지니 그 장은 이만 오천척이요 광은 일만척이라 그 구역 안 전부가 거룩하리라

2 그 중에서 성소에 속할 땅은 장이 오백척이요 광이 오백척이니 네모 반듯하며 그 외에 사면 오십척으로 뜰이 되게 하되

3 이 척량한 중에서 장 이만 오천척과 광 일만 척을 척량하고 그 가운데 성소를 둘지니 지극히 거룩한 곳이요

4 그 땅의 거룩한 구역이라 여호와께 가까이 나아가서 성소에서 수종드는 제사장에게 돌려 그 집을 위하여 있는 곳이 되게 하며 성소를 위하여 있는 거룩한 곳이 되게 하고

5 또 장 이만 오천척과 광 일만 척을 척량하여 전에서 수종드는 레위 사람에게 돌려 그들의 산업을 삼아 촌 이십을 세우게 하고

6 구별한 거룩한 구역 옆에 광 오천척과 장 이만 오천척을 척량하여 성읍의 기지를 삼아 이스라엘 온 족속에게 돌리고

7 드린바 거룩한 구역과 성읍의 기지 된 땅의 좌우편 곧 드린바 거룩한 구역의 옆과 성읍의 기지 옆의 땅을 왕에게 돌리되 서편으로 향하여 서편 국경까지와 동편으로 향하여 동편 국경까지니 그장이 구역 하나와 서로 같을지니라

8 이 땅으로 왕에게 돌려 이스라엘 중에 기업을 삼게 하면 나의 왕들이 다시는 내 백성을 압제하지 아니하리라 그 나머지 땅은 이스라엘 족속에게 그 지파대로 나눠 줄지니라

9 나 주 여호와가 말하노라 이스라엘의 치리자들아 너희에게 족하니라 너희는 강포와 겁탈을 제하여 버리고 공평과 공의를 행하여내 백성에게 토색함을 그칠지니라 나 주 여호와의 말이니라

10 너희는 공평한 저울과, 공평한 에바와, 공평한 밧을 쓸지니

11 에바와 밧은 그 용량을 동일히 하되 호멜의 용량을 따라 밧은 호멜 십분지 일을 담게 하고 에바도 호멜 십분지 일을 담게 할 것이며

12 세겔은 이십 게라니 이십 세겔과, 이십 오 세겔과, 십 오 세겔로 너희 마네가 되게 하라

13 너희의 마땅히 드릴 예물이 이러하니 밀 한 호멜에서는 에바 육분지 일을 드리고 보리 한 호멜에서도 에바 육분지 일을 드리며

14 기름은 정한 규례대로 한 고르에서 밧 십분지 일을 드릴지니 기름의 밧으로 말하면 한 고르는 십 밧 곧 한 호멜이며(십 밧은 한호멜이라)

15 또 이스라엘 윤택한 초장의 떼 이백 마리에서는 한 어린 양을 드릴 것이라 백성을 속죄하기 위하여 이것들로 소제와 번제와 감사 제물을 삼을지니라 나 주 여호와의 말이니라

16 이 땅 모든 백성은 이 예물로 이스라엘 왕에게 드리고

17 왕은 본분대로 번제와 소제와 전제를 절기와 월삭과 안식일과 이스라엘 족속의 모든 정한 절기에 드릴지니 이스라엘 족속을 속죄하기 위하여 이 속죄제와 소제와 번제와 감사 제물을 갖출지니라

18 나 여호와가 말하노라 정월 초 하룻날에 흠없는 수송아지 하나를 취하여 성소를 정결케 하되

19 제사장이 그 속죄제 희생의 피를 취하여 전 문설주와 제단 아랫층 네 모퉁이와 안 뜰 문설주에 바를 것이요

20 그 달 칠일에도 모든 그릇 범죄한 자와 부지중 범죄한 자를 위하여 역시 그렇게 하여 전을 속죄할지니라

21 정월 십 사일에는 유월절 곧 칠일 절기를 지키며 누룩 없는 떡을 먹을 것이라

22 그 날에 왕은 자기와 이 땅 모든 백성을 위하여 송아지 하나를 갖추어 속죄제를 드릴 것이요

23 또 절기 칠일 동안에는 그가 나 여호와를 위하여 번제를 갖추되 곧 칠일 동안에 매일 흠 없는 수송아지 일곱과 수양 일곱이며 또 매일 수염소 하나를 갖추어 속죄제를 드릴 것이며

24 또 소제를 갖추되 수송아지 하나에는 밀가루 한 에바요 수양 하나에도 한 에바며 밀가루 한 에바에는 기름 한 힌씩이며

25 칠월 십 오일 절기 칠일 동안에도 이대로 행하여 속죄제와 번제며 그 밀가루와 기름을 드릴지니라

9659. 'And there shall be eight boards and their bases [made] from silver' means support in every respect from good and through truth that springs from good. This is clear from the meaning of 'eight' as what is so in every respect, dealt with below; from the meaning of 'boards' as good that lends support, dealt with in 9634; and from the meaning of 'bases [made] from silver' as support provided through truth from good, dealt with in 9643.

[2] 'Eight' means in every respect because this number has the same meaning as two and four, being the product of these when multiplied together. 'Two' and 'four' mean being joined together, completely so, 5194, 8423, 8877, and consequently also mean what is complete, 9103, and therefore what is so in every respect; for what exists in completeness does so in every respect. Another reason why 'eight' means what exists in completeness and in every respect is that since 'a week' means a whole period from beginning to end, 2044, 3845, 'the eighth day' means a complete state, from which a new beginning then commences. This explains why males had to be circumcised on the eighth day, Genesis 17:12; 21:4, for circumcision was a sign of purification from foul kinds of love by means of the truth of faith, 2039, 2046 (end), 2799, 3412, 3413, 4462. The foreskin corresponded to the defilement of good by those kinds of love, 4462, 7045, 7225, and the knife of flint with which circumcision was carried out was a sign of the truth of faith by means of which purification was accomplished, 2039 (end), 2046 (end), 2799, 7044.

[3] What exists in completeness and in every respect is also meant by 'eight' following 'seven' in Micah,

When Asshur comes into our land and treads our palaces we will set up over him seven shepherds and eight princes of men (homo), and they will feed 1 the land of Asshur with the sword; and he will deliver [us] from Asshur. Micah 5:5-6.

'Asshur' stands for reasoning on the basis of one's own intelligence about the Church's forms of good and its truths. Deliverance totally or in every respect from consequent falsity is meant by 'eight princes of men' who will bring destruction, 'princes of men' being the leading truths that rise out of good.

[4] The fact that 'eight' means completeness and in every respect is also clear from an experience I had involving the admission and reception of some communities into heaven, about which see 2130. I saw as many as twelve communities received first, and after them as many as eight more; for people admitted and received into heaven are those who have been purified from earthly things, that is, from all love of them, and have gone on to receive instruction. The number eight on that occasion was a sign of that which was complete.

[5] 'Eight' has a similar meaning elsewhere in the Word, for example where it says that the portico of the gateway was 'eight cubits' long from the house, and that there were 'eight steps' up to the house, in Ezekiel 40:9, 31, 41. The description there is of the new house, by which the Lord's New Church is meant, truths leading to good and from good back to truths being meant by 'the portico' and 'the steps'.

[6] Anyone who does not know that spiritual realities or real things are implied by the numbers used in the Word cannot possibly see any such reality nor thus anything holy in the measures and numbers where the tabernacle, Solomon's temple, and after these the new house, new temple, and new land in Ezekiel, are described, when yet not a syllable in the Word is devoid of spiritual meaning. Let all who have intelligence weigh up in their mind what the measures and numbers in Chapters 40-48 of Ezekiel really mean, also the measures and numbers in John, at Revelation 21:17, where it says that the angel measured the wall of the new Jerusalem, a hundred and forty-four cubits, and that this measure was that of a man (homo), that is, of an angel, and also in the following, besides many other places,

Let him who has intelligence reckon the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man (homo), that is, its number is six hundred and sixty-six. Revelation 13:18.

For more about all numbers in the Word, that they mean spiritual realities or real things, see 482, 487, 575, 647, 648, 755, 813, 1963, 1988, 2075, 2252, 3252, 4264, 4495, 4670, 5265, 5291, 5335, 5708, 6175, 7973, and places where the specific meaning of certain numbers has been shown.

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.
