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.

Arcana Coelestia # 8159

8159. 'And Pharaoh drew near' means an oppressive influx from there of falsity arising from evil. This is clear from the representation of 'Pharaoh' as those steeped in falsities arising from evil, dealt with in 8132, 8135, 8146, 8148; and from the meaning of 'drawing near' as influx. The internal sense deals with the first temptation of those who have been delivered, and all temptation comes about through influx from the hells. For spirits from there stir up and bring out all the wicked deeds a person has performed and wicked thoughts he has entertained, and they use these to incriminate him and condemn him. As a result he suffers pangs of conscience, and anxiety fills his mind. These feelings are brought about by an influx from the hells, in particular from the hell that is represented by the Sea Suph. From all this one may see that in the spiritual sense, which is dealing with temptations, 'drawing near' means influx.

[2] Since the verses which immediately follow deal with the first temptation of those belonging to the spiritual Church, it should be realized that those people could not undergo temptations until after the Lord had glorified His Human, that is, made it Divine, and was present among them in this glorified Human. If they had undergone them before then they would have given way; for those belonging to the spiritual Church were saved solely by the Lord's Divine Human. The temptations of those belonging to the spiritual Church, which they were to undergo after the Lord had come into the world, when He would be able to fight from the Divine Human for them against the hells, are meant by the following words in Malachi,

Suddenly there will come to His temple the Lord whom you seek, and the angel of the covenant in whom you delight. Behold, He is coming, said Jehovah Zebaoth. Who can endure the day of His Coming, and who will stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap. He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and He will purify the sons of Levi and purge them like gold, and like silver, in order that they may bring to Jehovah a minchah in righteousness. Then the minchah of Judah and Jerusalem will be acceptable to Jehovah, as in the days of eternity, and as in former years. Malachi 3:1-4.

This plainly refers to the Lord's Coming. 'The sons of Levi' here are members of the spiritual Church, for 'Levi' means charity or spiritual good, 3875, 4497, 4502, 4503. 'A refiner's fire' is temptation, the means of purification, which 'purifying and purging them like gold and silver' is used to mean. 'The minchah' they will bring to Jehovah is faith and charity; and 'the days of eternity' and 'former years' are the Ancient Churches and states of worship of the Lord in those times.

[3] As regards the nature of temptations, it is as has been stated above in 8131, that the hells fight against a person and the Lord for a person. Any falsity that the hells introduce is met with a response from the Divine. The falsities which come from hell are thrust into and enter the external or natural man, but the response from the Divine enters the internal or spiritual man. The person is less conscious of this response which comes from the Divine than he is of those falsities. It does not touch his individual thoughts, only his general awareness, yet in such a way that he scarcely comes to be conscious of it except as hope and consequent comfort, which however hold within them countless blessings that the person has no knowledge of. These are such that they are suited to his affection or love, especially his affection for or love of truth and goodness, which form his conscience.

[4] These things have been stated to let it be known that the life of the children of Israel in the wilderness describes the temptations, in the sequence in which they occurred, that were undergone by those who belonged to the Lord's spiritual Church and were delivered. The reason why they underwent the temptations was in order that they might be prepared further for heaven. For through temptations, through them as the one and only means, forms of good and truths are corroborated and joined together. Through them charity becomes the charity that goes with faith, and faith becomes the faith that goes with charity. The fact that those who belong to the Church must undergo temptations is what one should understand by the following things the Lord said, in Matthew,

Whoever does not take up his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. Matthew 10:38-39; Mark 8:31 end.

In the same gospel,

He said to His disciples, If anyone wishes to come after Me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me. Matthew 16:24-25; Luke 9:23-24.

In Luke,

Whoever does not carry his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple. Luke 14:27.

In Mark,

Jesus said to the rich [young ruler], Come, follow Me, taking up the cross. Mark 10:21.

And in Matthew,

Do not think that I have come to bring peace on earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. Matthew 10:34.

[5] But it should be recognized that in temptations a person does not do the fighting; the Lord alone does it for the person, though the appearance is that it is done by the person. And when the Lord does the fighting for a person, the person is in all things victorious. At the present day few are allowed to experience temptations because they do not live as faith requires and do not therefore possess a conscience composed of truth; and anyone without a conscience composed of truth as a result of leading a good life goes under, and then his latter state is worse than his former.
