1 И сказал Господь Моисею, говоря:

2 смотри, Я назначаю именно Веселеила, сына Уриева, сына Орова, из колена Иудина;

3 и Я исполнил его Духом Божиим, мудростью, разумением, ведением и всяким искусством,

4 работать из золота, серебра и меди,

5 резать камни для вставливания и резать дерево для всякого дела;

6 и вот, Я даю ему помощником Аголиава, сына Ахисамахова, из колена Данова, и в сердце всякого мудрого вложу мудрость, дабы они сделали все, что Я повелел тебе:

7 скинию собрания и ковчег откровения и крышку на него, и все принадлежности скинии,

8 и стол и принадлежности его, и светильник из чистого золота и все принадлежности его, и жертвенник курения,

9 и жертвенник всесожжения и все принадлежности его, и умывальник и подножие его,

10 и одежды служебные и одежды священные Аарону священнику, и одежды сынам его, для священнослужения,

11 и елей помазания и курение благовонное для святилища: все так, как Я повелел тебе,они сделают.

12 И сказал Господь Моисею, говоря:

13 скажи сынам Израилевым так: субботы Мои соблюдайте, ибо это – знамение между Мною и вами в роды ваши, дабы вы знали, что Я Господь, освящающий вас;

14 и соблюдайте субботу, ибо она свята для вас: кто осквернит ее, тот да будет предан смерти; кто станет в оную делать дело, та душа должна быть истреблена из среды народа своего;

15 шесть дней пусть делают дела, а в седьмой – суббота покоя,посвященная Господу: всякий, кто делает дело в день субботний, да будет предан смерти;

16 и пусть хранят сыны Израилевы субботу, празднуя субботу в роды свои, как завет вечный;

17 это – знамение между Мною и сынами Израилевыми на веки, потому что в шесть дней сотворил Господь небо и землю, а в день седьмой почил и покоился.

18 И когда Бог перестал говорить с Моисеем на горе Синае, дал ему две скрижали откровения, скрижали каменные, на которых написано было перстом Божиим.

1186. And no craftsman of whatsoever craft shall be found in thee any more, signifies no more wisdom, intelligence, or knowledge. This is evident from the signification of "craftsman of whatsoever craft," as being everything belonging to the understanding, consequently wisdom, intelligence, and knowledge, for these belong to the understanding, the inmost of which is wisdom, the middle intelligence, and the lowest is knowledge. This is the signification of "craftsman of whatsoever craft," because these are endowments of the understanding, and its endowments are signified by "crafts." As these are signified by "crafts," so in the Word where the construction of the tabernacle is treated of, also the garments of Aaron, which were of gold, blue, purple, scarlet double-dyed, and fine twined linen, it is said that they were to be the work of the "craftsman," elsewhere "a work of a contriver" (Exodus 26:1, 31; 28:6; 39:8; and elsewhere). The things of which these were made, and which are here mentioned, signify things of wisdom, intelligence, and knowledge; therefore of Bezaleel and Oholiab, who were the craftsmen, and who made these things, it is said:

They were filled with wisdom, intelligence, and knowledge (Exodus 31:3; 36:1-2).

[2] That "craftsman" signifies intelligence from what is one's own [proprium] is evident in Hosea:

They make them a molten image of their silver, and idols in their intelligence, all of it the work of the craftsmen (Hosea 13:2).

"Molten image" and "idol" signify worship according to doctrine that is from self-intelligence; "silver" signifies the falsity from which such doctrine comes; therefore it is said "that in their intelligence they make them an idol, all of it the work of craftsmen." So in Isaiah:

The craftsman melteth a graven image, and the goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold, and casteth chains of silver; he seeketh a wise craftsman (Isaiah 40:19-20).

And in Jeremiah:

Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the craftsman and of the hands of the founder, hyacinthine and garments, all of it the work of the wise (Jeremiah 10:3, 9).

Here and in many passages elsewhere self-intelligence is described by "idols," and "sculptured and molten images" (See n. 587, 827).

(Continuation)

[3] End, mediate causes, and effect, are called also the chief end, intermediate ends, and the final end. Intermediate and final ends are called ends, because the chief end produces them, is everything in them, is their esse and is their soul. The chief end is the will's love in man, the intermediate ends are subordinate loves, and the final end is the love of the will existing as it were in its effigy. As the chief end is the love of the will it follows that intermediate ends, being subordinate loves, are foreseen, provided, and produced through the understanding, and that the final end is the use foreseen, provided, and produced by the love of the will through the understanding, for everything that love produces is a use. This must be premised in order that what has just been said may be perceived, namely, that eminence and riches may be blessings or that they may be curses.
