1 FA’ ancora il Padiglione, di dieci teli di fin lino ritorto, di violato, di porpora, e di scarlatto; e fa’ que’ teli lavorati a cherubini di lavoro di disegno.

2 Sia la lunghezza d’un telo di ventotto cubiti, e la larghezza di quattro cubiti; sieno tutti que’ teli di una stessa misura.

3 Sieno cinque teli accoppiati l’uno con l’altro, e cinque altri teli parimente accoppiati l’uno con l’altro.

4 E fa’ de’ lacciuoli di violato all’orlo dell’uno de’ teli, che sarà all’estremità dell’uno degli accoppiamenti; fa’ il simigliante ancora nell’orlo del telo estremo nel secondo accoppiamento.

5 Fa’ cinquanta lacciuoli nell’uno di que’ teli, e parimente cinquanta lacciuoli all’estremità del telo che sarà al secondo accoppiamento; sieno i lacciuoli dirincontro l’uno all’altro.

6 Fa’ ancora cinquanta graffi d’oro, e accoppia que’ teli, l’uno con l’altro con que’ graffi; e così sia il Padiglione giunto in uno.

7 Fa’, oltre a ciò, sopra il Padiglione una Tenda a teli di pel di capra; fai undici di que’ teli.

8 Sia la lunghezza di un telo di trenta cubiti, e la larghezza di quattro cubiti; sieno gli undici teli di una stessa misura.

9 E accoppia cinque di que’ teli da parte, e sei da parte; e raddoppia il sesto telo in su la parte anteriore del Tabernacolo.

10 E fa’ cinquanta lacciuoli all’orlo dell’un de’ teli, che sarà l’estremo del primo accoppiamento; e parimente cinquanta lacciuoli all’orlo del telo estremo del secondo accoppiamento.

11 Fa’ ancora cinquanta graffi di rame, e metti i graffi dentro i lacciuoli; e assembra insieme la Tenda, acciocchè sia giunta in uno.

12 E quel soverchio che avanzerà ne’ teli della Tenda, cioè: quel mezzo telo che sarà di soverchio, soprabbondi nella parte di dietro del Tabernacolo.

13 E il cubito di qua, e il cubito di là, che sarà di soverchio nella lunghezza de’ teli della Tenda, soprabbondi ne’ lati del Tabernacolo, di qua e di là, per coprirlo.

14 Fa’ ancora alla Tenda una coverta di pelli di montone, tinte in rosso; e un’altra coverta di pelli di tasso, disopra.

15 Fa’, oltre a ciò, delle assi per lo Tabernacolo; falle di legno di Sittim, per metterle ritte.

16 Sia la lunghezza di ciascuna asse di dieci cubiti, e la larghezza di un cubito e mezzo.

17 Abbia ciascuna asse due cardini da incastrare un pezzo nell’altro; fa’ così a tutte le assi del Tabernacolo.

18 Fa’ adunque le assi per lo Tabernacolo; venti assi dal lato Australe, verso il Mezzodì.

19 E fa’ quaranta piedistalli di argento per metter sotto quelle venti assi; due piedistalli sotto ciascuna asse, per li suoi due cardini.

20 E venti assi per l’altro lato del Tabernacolo, verso Aquilone;

21 co’ lor quaranta piedistalli di argento, due piedistalli sotto ciascuna asse.

22 E per lo fondo del Tabernacolo, verso Occidente, fa’ sei assi.

23 Fa’ ancora due assi per li cantoni del Tabernacolo, nel fondo.

24 E sieno quelle a due facce fin da basso; e tutte sieno ben commesse insieme al capo di queste assi con un anello; sieno quelle due assi, che saranno per li due cantoni, fatte di una medesima maniera.

25 Sienvi adunque otto assi, co’ lor piedistalli di argento, in numero di sedici piedistalli; due piedistalli sotto ciascuna asse.

26 Fai ancora cinque sbarre di legno di Sittim, per le assi dell’uno de’ lati del Tabernacolo.

27 Parimente cinque sbarre per le assi dell’altro lato del Tabernacolo; e cinque sbarre per le assi del lato del fondo del Tabernacolo, verso Occidente.

28 E la sbarra di mezzo sia nel mezzo delle assi, e traversi da un capo all’altro.

29 E copri d’oro le assi, e fa’ d’oro i loro anelli, da mettervi dentro le sbarre; copri ancora d’oro le sbarre.

30 Poi rizza il Tabernacolo secondo il modello di esso, che ti è stato mostrato nel monte.

31 Fa’ ancora una Cortina di violato, e di porpora, e di scarlatto, e di fin lino ritorto; facciasi di lavoro di disegno a Cherubini.

32 E appendila a quattro colonne di legno di Sittim, coperte d’oro, co’ lor capitelli d’oro; e quelle sieno poste sopra quattro piedistalli di argento.

33 E metti la Cortina sotto i graffi; e porta là, dentro della Cortina, l’Arca della Testimonianza; e facciavi quella Cortina separazione fra il luogo Santo e il Santissimo.

34 E metti il Coperchio sopra l’Arca della Testimonianza, nel luogo Santissimo.

35 E metti la Tavola di fuori della Cortina, dal lato Settentrionale; e il Candelliere, dirimpetto alla Tavola, dal lato Australe del Tabernacolo.

36 Fa’ eziandio, per l’entrata del Tabernacolo, un tappeto di violato, e di porpora, e di scarlatto, e di fin lino ritorto, di lavoro di ricamatore.

37 E fai cinque colonne di legno di Sittim, per appendervi quel tappeto, e copri le colonne d’oro, e sieno i lor capitelli d’oro; e fondi loro cinque piedistalli di rame.

   


To many Protestant and Evangelical Italians, the Bibles translated by Giovanni Diodati are an important part of their history. Diodati’s first Italian Bible edition was printed in 1607, and his second in 1641. He died in 1649. Throughout the 1800s two editions of Diodati’s text were printed by the British Foreign Bible Society. This is the more recent 1894 edition, translated by Claudiana.

9230. 'And you shall not eat flesh torn in the field' means that falsified good of faith must not be joined [to oneself]. This is clear from the meaning of 'flesh' as good, dealt with in 7850, 9127; from the meaning of 'the field' as the Church in respect of good, thus the Church's good, dealt with in 2971, 3766, 7502, 7571, 9139, 9141; from the meaning of 'torn' as something destroyed by falsities, thus also something falsified, dealt with in 5828; and from the meaning of 'eating' as making one's own and joining [to oneself], dealt with in 2187, 3168, 3513 (end), 3596, 4745, 5643, 8001. From these meanings it is evident that 'you shall not eat flesh torn in the field' means that the Church's good, or the good of faith, if it has been falsified, is not to be made one's own or joined [to oneself].

[2] A brief statement must be made here about what the good of faith is and what the truth of faith is. The good of faith is a term that denotes everything of the Church that has to do with life and service inspired by teachings of the Church that compose its faith, in short, everything that has to do with willing those things and doing them in a spirit of obedience; for the Church's truths of faith become, through people's willing them and doing them, forms of good. But the truth of faith is a term that denotes everything which does not as yet have useful service as its end in view or does not exist for the sake of its use in life. Consequently it is something a person comes to know and retain in the memory, then grasps with his understanding, and goes on to teach. As long as the Church's truths go no further than the understanding they are merely items of knowledge and known facts, and in contrast to forms of good stand outside the person himself. For the human memory and understanding are like the hall outside a room, and the will is so to speak the actual room, the will being the person himself. This shows what the truth of faith is and what the good of faith is. But the good that a person does in the first state, while he is being regenerated, is called the good of faith, whereas the good that he does in the second state, which is when he has been regenerated, is called the good of charity. When therefore a person doing good is governed by the good of faith, he does good in a spirit of obedience; but when someone doing good is governed by the good of charity, he does good out of affection. Regarding those two states with a person who is being regenerated, see 7923, 7992, 8505, 8506, 8510, 8512, 8516, 8643, 8648, 8658, 8685, 8690, 8701, 9224, 9227.

6854. 'And I have come down to deliver them from the hand of the Egyptians' means that He would stoop down to them to release them from the power of false factual knowledge, which tries to destroy the truths of the Church. This is clear from the meaning of 'coming down' as stooping down, dealt with below; from the meaning of 'to deliver' as to release, for one who releases people from falsities delivers or sets them free; from the meaning of 'the hand' as the power, dealt with in 878, 3387, 3563, 4931-4937, 5544; and from the meaning of 'the Egyptians' as false factual knowledge, which is opposed to the Church's truths, dealt with in 6651, 6679, 6683, and so which tries to destroy them. As regards the Lord's coming down, the situation is that the Lord is said to come or stoop down when He comes to judgement, 1311, and also when He comes down to lower things, in this instance to those belonging to the spiritual Church, who are meant by 'the children of Israel'. For the subject in the internal sense is the way in which those people are molested by falsities, at which time they undergo temptations, and the way in which after that they are set free in order that they may be led into heaven.

[2] But the contents of the internal sense of this verse and of those that follow hold an even deeper mystery which the Church does not yet know about and which must therefore be disclosed. Those who are termed spiritual are people for whom only the understanding part of their mind, not the will part, can be regenerated. In the understanding part of their mind the Lord therefore implants a new will, a will which conforms to the teachings that compose the faith of their Church. These people, that is to say, spiritual ones such as these, were saved solely by the Lord's Coming into the world. The reason why is that the Divine passing through heaven, which was the Divine Human before the Lord's Coming, could not reach them; for to be sure the teachings of their Church were for the most part not truths, and consequently the good in their will was not good either, 6427. Since those people could be saved solely by the Lord's Coming, they could not be raised into heaven before then. They were therefore kept in the meantime on the lower earth, in places there which in the Word are called 'pits'. This lower earth was besieged on every side by the hells where there were falsities, by which they were molested greatly during that time. In spite of this however the Lord protected them. But after the Lord came into the world and made the Human within Himself Divine, He set free those who were in the pits there and raised them to heaven. From these He also formed the spiritual heaven which is the second heaven. This is what is meant by the Lord's descent into the lower parts 1 and by His deliverance of those who had been bound.

[3] This is the even deeper mystery that is described in the internal sense of this verse and of those that follow. See what has been shown already regarding those who are spiritual,

The spiritual are in obscurity so far as the truth and good of faith are concerned, 2708, 2715, 2718, 2831, 2849, 2935, 2937, 3241, 3833, 6289.

Their obscurity is lightened by the Lord's Divine Human, 2716, 4402.

Because they are in obscurity so far as the truth and good of faith are concerned they are under strong attack from the hells; but the Lord is constantly protecting them, 6419.

Those who are spiritual cannot have the will part of their mind regenerated, only the understanding part; and there the Lord forms a new will, 863, 875, 895, 927, 918, 1023, 1043, 1044, 2156, 4328, 4493, 5113.

The spiritual were saved by the Lord's Coming into the world, 2833, 2834, 3969.

[4] Various places in the prophetical part of the Word mention 'the bound' or 'the bound in the pit' and the fact that the Lord delivered them. The bound' should be taken to mean specifically those spoken of just above, as in Isaiah,

I Jehovah have called you in righteousness, and will hold your hand, because I will guard you, and give you to be a covenant of the people, 2 a light of the nations, to open the blind eyes, to bring the bound out of prison, out of the dungeon-house those who sit in darkness. Isaiah 42:6-7.

In the same prophet,

I have guarded you, and I have given you as covenant of the people - to restore the land; to share out the devastated inheritances; to say to the bound, Go out; to those who are in darkness, Reveal yourselves. They will feed along the ways, and on all slopes will their pasture be. Isaiah 49:8-9.

This plainly refers to the Lord. 'The bound' stands in particular for those who were held back on the lower earth until the Lord's Coming, when they were raised up to heaven, and in general for all who are governed by good, yet are held back as though bound by falsities, from which however they wish to break away.

[5] In Zechariah,

Through the blood of your covenant I will let out your bound ones from the pit. Zechariah 9:11.

In Isaiah,

They will surely be gathered together, the bound ones in the pit, and they will be shut up in the dungeon; after a multitude of days they will be visited. Isaiah 24:21.

'The bound ones in the pit' stands for the same people. And in addition to these places the same meaning can be seen from the following words in Isaiah,

Jehovah has anointed Me to bring good tidings to the poor. He has sent Me to bind up the broken in heart; to preach liberty to captives, to those who are bound, to him who is blind; to proclaim the year of Jehovah's good pleasure. Isaiah 61:1-2.

And elsewhere,

The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; those dwelling in the land of the shadow of death, upon them has the light shone out. Isaiah 9:2.
