2 Mózes 25

Სწავლა

   

1 És szóla az Úr Mózeshez, mondván:

2 Szólj az Izráel fiainak, hogy szedjenek nékem ajándékokat; minden embertõl, a kit szíve hajt arra, szedjetek nékem ajándékokat.

3 Ez pedig az az ajándék, a mit tõlök szedjetek: arany és ezüst és réz.

4 És kék, és bíborpiros, és karmazsinszinû [fonal], meg len [fonal,] és kecskeszõr.

5 És veresre festett kosbõrök, és borzbõrök, és sittim-fa.

6 Mécsbe való olaj, kenet-olajhoz való arómák, és füstöléshez való fûszerek.

7 Ónix-kövek és foglalni való kövek, az efódhoz és a hósenhez.

8 És készítsenek nékem szent hajlékot, hogy õ közöttök lakozzam.

9 Mindenestõl úgy csináljátok, a mint én megmutatom néked a hajléknak formáját, és annak minden edényeinek formáját.

10 És csináljanak egy ládát sittim-fából; harmadfél sing hosszút, másfél sing széleset, és másfél sing magasat.

11 Borítsd meg azt tiszta aranynyal, belõl is kivül is megborítsd azt, és csinálj reá köröskörûl arany pártázatot.

12 És önts ahhoz négy arany karikát, és illeszd [azokat] a négy szegeletére; egyik oldalára is két karikát, a másik oldalára is két karikát.

13 Csinálj rúdakat is sittim-fából, és azokat is megborítsd arannyal.

14 És a rúdakat dugd a láda oldalain levõ karikákba, hogy azokon hordozzák a ládát.

15 A rúdak álljanak a láda karikáiban; ne vegyék ki azokból.

16 És a bizonyságot, a melyet néked adok, tedd a ládába.

17 Csinálj fedelet is tiszta aranyból: harmadfél sing hosszút, és másfél sing széleset.

18 Csinálj két Kérubot is aranyból, vert [arany]ból csináld azokat a fedélnek két végére.

19 Az egyik Kérubot csináld az egyik végére innen, a másik Kérubot a másik végére onnan: a fedélbõl csináljátok ki a Kérubokat annak két végén.

20 A Kérubok pedig terjeszszék ki szárnyaikat fölfelé, betakarva szárnyaikkal a fedelet; arczaik egymásfelé legyenek; a Kérubok arczai a fedél felé forduljanak.

21 A fedelet pedig helyezd a ládára felül, a ládába pedig tedd a bizonyságot, a melyet adok néked.

22 Ott jelenek meg néked, és szólok hozzád a fedél tetejérõl, a két Kérub közül, melyek a bizonyság ládája felett vannak, mindazokról, a miket általad parancsolok az Izráel fiainak.

23 Csinálj asztalt is sittim-fából, két sing hosszút, egy sing széleset, és másfél sing magasat.

24 És borítsd be azt tiszta aranynyal, és csinálj reá köröskörül arany pártázatot.

25 Csinálj reá köröskörûl egy tenyérnyi karájt, karajára pedig csinálj köröskörûl arany pártázatot.

26 Négy arany karikát is csinálj hozzá, és illeszd a karikákat a Négy lábának Négy szegletére.

27 A karáj mellett legyenek a karikák rúdtartókul, hogy hordozhassák az asztalt.

28 Azokat a rúdakat is sittim-fából csináld és aranynyal borítsd be, és azokon hordozzák az asztalt.

29 Készítsd el tálait is, csészéit is, kancsóit is, kelyheit is, a melyekkel italáldozatot áldoznak; tiszta aranyból csináld azokat.

30 És tégy az asztalra szent kenyeret, [mely] mindenkor elõttem [legyen].

31 Csinálj gyertyatartót is tiszta aranyból; vert [arany]ból készüljön a gyertyatartó; annak szára, ága csészéi, gombjai és virágai ugyanabból legyenek.

32 Hat ág jõjjön ki oldalaiból; három gyertyatartó-ág az egyik oldalból, és három gyertyatartó-ág a másik oldalból.

33 Mandolavirág formájú három csésze az egyik ágon, gombbal és virággal; és mandolavirág formájú három csésze a másik ágon is, gombbal és virággal; így legyen a gyertyatartóból kijövõ mind a hat ágon.

34 A gyertyatartón pedig négy mandolavirág formájú csésze legyen, gombjaival és virágaival.

35 Gomb legyen a belõle [kijövõ] két ág alatt; ismét gomb a belõle [kijövõ] két ág alatt, és ismét gomb a belõle [kijövõ] két ág alatt: [így] a gyertyatartóból kijövõ [mind] a hat ág alatt.

36 Gombjaik és ágaik magából legyenek; egy darab tiszta aranyból legyen verve az egész.

37 Csinálj hozzá hét mécset is, és úgy rakják fel mécseit, hogy elõre világítsanak.

38 Hamvvevõi és hamutartói is tiszta aranyból legyenek.

39 Egy tálentom tiszta aranyból csinálják azt, mindezeket az eszközöket.

40 Vigyázz, hogy arra a formára csináld, a mely a hegyen mutattatott néked.

10276. 'And you shall sanctify them, and they shall be the holy of holies' means consequently the inflow and presence of the Lord within the worship of the representative Church. This is clear from the meaning of 'being sanctified' as representing the Lord in respect of the Divine Human, and the reception of Divine Good and Divine Truth from Him, for the Lord alone is holy and therefore that alone is holy which emanates from Him, from which it is evident that 'being sanctified' also means the inflow and presence of the Lord within the worship of the representative Church;

'Being sanctified' means representing the Lord in respect of the Divine Human, see 9956, 9988, 10069.

It also means the reception of Divine Good and Divine Truth from Him, 8806, 9820, 10128.

The Lord alone is holy, and that alone is holy which emanates from Him, 9229, 9479, 9680, 9818.

Thus holy things among the Israelite and Jewish nation were holy in a representative fashion, 10149, and from the meaning of 'the holy of holies' as celestial Divine Good, dealt with in 10129.

[2] From all this it is evident that all those things which had been anointed were called 'the holy of holies' by virtue of the inflow and presence of the Lord's Divine Human. And whenever the Lord flows in and becomes present He does so by a path that is direct, and also in the lower heavens by one that is indirect, through celestial good, which is the inmost heaven's good. Therefore to the extent that the levels of good in the lower heavens contain and store celestial good, which is the good of love to the Lord, they are indeed good. This is why things which had been anointed were called 'the holy of holies'. Regarding the Lord's flowing in directly and indirectly, see in the places referred to in 9682, 9683.

[3] To have any knowledge of the nature of these things a person must know what a representation is and what a representative Church is. What they are has been shown extensively in the places referred to in 9229, 9280, 10030; but since few at the present day know what they are, let something more be said to shed further light on the subject. In the inmost heavens there exist among the angels affections for goodness and truth derived from the Lord, which compose those angels' life and bliss. These affections manifest themselves in the lowest heaven within outward forms, which are countless and infinitely various; whatever the eyes of those in that heaven behold there springs from them. These forms are representative of more internal things, which are affections for goodness and truth and are called celestial and spiritual things.

[4] Good spirits, who perceive the holy things of heaven within those representative forms existing as subjects 1 , have their inner feelings stirred by them. They see, for example, parks or gardens with countless species of trees and fruits, also rose gardens, lawns, fields with crops, houses, palaces, and very many other sights. All these correspond to the affections for goodness and truth which, derived from the Lord, exist in higher heavens. Representative forms also exist in these higher heavens, but they are immeasurably superior in perfection, delightfulness, and rapture to such forms in the lowest heaven. These representative forms are what the saying that no eye has ever seen such things refers to; and if any description of them were given it would surpass human belief.

[5] From all this it may be recognized what representative forms are. All those which had been established among the Israelite nation were similar to the ones in the lowest heaven, but had less perfection because they existed in the natural world. Such forms comprised the tent of meeting together with the ark, the table on which the loaves of the Presence were laid, the lampstand and its lamps, and the altar of incense; the garments of Aaron and his sons; at a later time, the temple together with the sanctuary in it, where the ark with the mercy-seat and cherubs above it was; the bronze sea, the lavers, and similar objects. More however, beyond numbering, appear in the lowest heaven; but these have greater excellence and perfection. That heaven was where the Lord showed Moses on Mount Sinai the things to be established among the Israelite nation, as is evident in Exodus 25:40; 26:30; 27:8, though Moses did not see them there with his bodily eyes but with those of his spirit.

[6] Further proof of the nature of representative forms lies in those things which were seen by prophets - by Daniel, by John in the Book of Revelation, and by all the rest. All the things which they saw conceal Divine spiritual and celestial realities within them. Without the internal sense to explain them those visions are unintelligible, as anyone may recognize.

[7] From all this it is again evident what a representative Church is.

This Church was established in the land of Canaan especially on account of the Word, in order that representative forms and objects carrying a spiritual meaning might be used in the writing of it, thus such things as existed among that nation, in their Church and in their land. For since most ancient times all places in the land of Canaan, all the mountains and rivers there, represented such things as existed in heaven, 3686, 4240, 4447, 4454, 5136, 6516; and so at a later time did the inheritances, tribes, and everything else. The literal sense of the Old Testament Word was composed of such things, to the end that it might be a kind of base in which more internal things terminated and on which they stood, like a building on its foundations, see 9360, 9824, 10044.

[8] Anyone who is intelligent may see from all this that the Word is most holy, that its literal sense is holy by virtue of its internal sense, and that when separated from this it is not holy. For the literal sense separated from the internal is like a person's outward [body] separated from his inward [soul], which is a lifeless statue; and it is like the outer covering of a tree, flower, fruit, or seed without their inward parts, and like the foundation without the house. Those therefore who adhere strictly to the sense of the letter of the Word and do not have or acquire for themselves from the Word teachings in keeping with its internal sense may be drawn into all kinds of heresy. This is why such people refer to the Word as a book of heresies. Sound doctrine drawn from the Word must absolutely shine before people and show them the way to go; those teachings are provided by the internal sense, and the person who is acquainted with them has the internal sense of the Word.

[9] Because the Jewish nation did not acknowledge the presence of any holiness in the Word except in its literal sense alone, which they separated completely from its internal sense, they sank into such darkness that they did not know the Lord when He came into the world. That nation is just the same at the present day; therefore although they live among Christians, they still do not as yet from the Word acknowledge the Lord. Right from the start that nation was interested in outward things but not their inner substance, see what has been shown in the places referred to in 9320(end), 9380. Unless therefore the Lord had come into the world and disclosed its inner contents, contact with the heavens through the Word would have been broken; and if that had been broken the human race on this planet would have perished. For no one can think anything at all that is true or do anything at all that is good except in heaven's strength, that is, the Lord's coming through heaven. The Word is what opens heaven.

7268. 'See, I have made you a god to Pharaoh' means the law of God and the power it has over those steeped in falsities. This is clear from the meaning of 'making you a god' as Divine Truth, or what amounts to the same thing, the Divine Law, and also the power it has, for in the Word when truth and also the power of truth are referred to the name 'God' appears, but when good is referred to the name 'Jehovah' does so, see 300, 2586, 2769, 2807, 2822, 3910, 3921 (end), 4287, 4295, 4402, 7010; and from the representation of 'Pharaoh' as those who are steeped in falsities and engage in molestation, dealt with in 6651, 6679, 6683. To pursue further the meaning of GOD, it should be recognized that in the highest sense 'God' is the Divine which is above the heavens, but that in the internal sense 'God' is the Divine which is within the heavens. The Divine which is above the heavens is Divine Good, whereas the Divine within the heavens is Divine Truth. For Divine Good is the source from which Divine Truth springs, and Divine Truth springing from Divine Good makes heaven and brings order into it. What is properly called heaven is nothing other than the Divine that has been given form there, for the angels in heaven are human forms receptive of the Divine, which together constitute an all-embracing form which is that of a Human Being.

[2] The use of 'God' in the Old Testament Word to mean Divine Truth within the heavens explains why the word for God in the original language is Elohim, a plural form. It also explains why the angels in heaven, being receivers of Divine Truth, are called 'gods', as in David,

Who in heaven will compare himself to Jehovah? Who will be likened to Jehovah among the sons of gods? Psalms 89:6-8.

In the same author,

Give to Jehovah, O sons of gods, give to Jehovah glory and strength. Psalms 29:1.

In the same author,

I said, You are gods, and sons of the Most High, all of you. Psalms 82:6.

In John,

Jesus said, Is it not written in your Law, I said, You are gods? If 1 He called them gods, with whom the Word of God came to be . . . John 10:34-35.

In addition there are those places in which the Lord is called 'God of gods' and 'Lord of lords', such as Genesis 46:2, 7; Deuteronomy 10:17; Numbers 16:22; Daniel 11:36; Psalms 136:2-3. From all this one may see in what sense Moses is called 'a god', here 'a god to Pharaoh' and in Exodus 4:16 'a god to Aaron' - that he was called such because Moses represented the Divine Law, which is Divine Truth and is called the Word. This also explains why here Aaron is called his 'prophet', and in a previous place his 'mouth', that is, one who declares in a way suitable for the understanding Divine Truth which comes forth directly from the Lord and surpasses all understanding And since a prophet is one who teaches and declares Divine Truth in a way suitable for the understanding, 'a prophet' also means the teachings of the Church, a subject dealt with in what follows next.
