1 Ezek a nemzetségek nevei: az északi határon a Hetlóntól Hamáthig vezetõ út mentén Haczar-Énonig Damaskus határán, észak felé, Hamát mentén, és pedig legyen az övé a keleti [és] nyugoti oldal: Dán, egy [rész;]

2 És Dán határa mellett a keleti oldaltól a nyugoti oldalig: Áser, egy [rész;]

3 És Áser határa mellett a keleti oldaltól a nyugoti oldalig: Nafthali, egy [rész;]

4 És Nafthali határa mellett a keleti oldaltól a nyugoti oldalig: Manasse, egy [rész;]

5 És Manasse határa mellett a keleti oldaltól a nyugoti oldalig: Efraim, egy [rész;]

6 És Efraim határa mellett a keleti oldaltól a nyugoti oldalig: Rúben, egy [rész;]

7 És Rúben határa mellett a keleti oldaltól a nyugoti oldalig: Júda, egy [rész;]

8 És Júda határa mellett a keleti oldaltól a nyugoti oldalig legyen a szent áldozat, melyet [az Úrnak] szenteltek: huszonötezer [sing] széles és olyan hosszú, mint egy-egy rész a keleti oldaltól a nyugoti oldalig; és a szenthely annak közepette legyen;

9 A szent áldozat, melyet az Úrnak szenteltek, huszonötezer [sing] hosszú és tízezer [sing] széles legyen;

10 És ezeké legyen ez a szent áldozat: a papoké északra huszonötezer [sing] és nyugotra tízezer [sing] szélesség és keletre tízezer [sing] szélesség és délre huszonötezer [sing] hosszúság, és az Úr szenthelye annak közepette legyen:

11 A papoké, a kik megszenteltettek a Sádók fiai közül, a kik szolgálatomban foglalatosak voltak, a kik nem tévelyedtek el, mikor Izráel fiai eltévelyedtek, mint a hogy eltévelyedtek volt a Léviták.

12 Övék legyen ez, mint egy áldozati rész a föld áldozatából, mint igen szentséges, a Léviták határán.

13 A Lévitáké pedig legyen a papok határa mentén huszonötezer [sing] hosszúság és tízezer szélesség; az egész hosszúság legyen huszonötezer és a szélesség tízezer.

14 És semmit abból el ne adjanak, se el ne cseréljék, se [másra] át ne szálljon a földnek e zsengéje, mert az Úrnak szenteltetett.

15 És az ötezer [sing,] mely a szélességben megmaradt a huszonötezernek mentén, közhely a város számára, mint lakóhely és tágasság, és legyen a város annak a közepében.

16 És ezek legyenek annak méretei: az északi oldalon négyezerötszáz [sing] és a déli oldalon négyezerötszáz és a keleti oldalon négyezerötszáz és a nyugoti oldalon négyezerötszáz.

17 És a város alatt legyen tágasság észak felé kétszázötven [sing] és dél felé kétszázötven és keletre kétszázötven és nyugotra kétszázötven.

18 A mi pedig megmaradt a hosszaságban a szent áldozat mentén, tízezer keletre és tízezer nyugotra, az ott maradjon a szent áldozat mentén, és legyen annak termése a város szántóvetõinek eledele.

19 És a ki szántóvetõ a városban, mívelje azt Izráelnek minden nemzetségébõl.

20 Az egész huszonötezer [sing] szent áldozatot huszonötezer [sing] négyszögben adjátok szent ajándékul a város tulajdonával együtt.

21 A mi pedig megmaradt, a fejedelemé lészen; a szent áldozatnak és a város tulajdonának mind a két oldalán, szemben a huszonötezer [sing] szent áldozattal a keleti határig és nyugot felé szemben a huszonötezer [sing]gel [egészen] a nyugoti határig lészen, a [kiosztott] részek mentén, a fejedelemé; és legyen a szent áldozat és a ház szenthelye annak közepette.

22 És a Léviták tulajdonától és a város tulajdonától fogva, mely közepében van annak, a mi a fejedelemé, a Júda határa és Benjámin határa között a fejedelemé legyen.

23 És a többi nemzetségek: a keleti oldaltól a nyugoti oldalig: Benjámin, egy [rész].

24 És Benjámin határán a keleti oldaltól a nyugoti oldalig: Simeon, egy [rész].

25 És Simeon határán a keleti oldaltól a nyugoti oldalig: Issakhár, egy [rész].

26 És Issakhár határán a keleti oldaltól a nyugoti oldalig: Zebulon, egy [rész].

27 És Zebulon határán a keleti oldaltól a nyugoti oldalig: Gád, egy [rész].

28 És Gád határán a déli oldalon dél felé, legyen a határ Támártól a versengések vizéig Kádesben, a patak felé a nagy-tengerig.

29 Ez a föld, melyet sorsvetéssel örökségül eloszszatok Izráel nemzetségei közt, és ezek azoknak részei, ezt mondja az Úr Isten.

30 És ezek a város külsõ részei: Az északi oldalon négyezerötszáz [sing] mérték.

31 És a város kapui, Izráel nemzetségeinek nevei szerint, három kapu északra: Rúben kapuja egy, Júda kapuja egy, Lévi kapuja egy.

32 És a keleti oldalon négyezerötszáz [sing] és három kapu: József kapuja egy, Benjámin kapuja egy, Dán kapuja egy.

33 És a déli oldalon is négyezerötszáz [sing] mérték és három kapu: Simeon kapuja egy, Issakhár kapuja egy, Zebulon kapuja egy.

34 A nyugoti oldalon négyezerötszáz [sing] három kapuval: Gád kapuja egy, Áser kapuja egy, Nafthali kapuja egy:

35 Köröskörül tizennyolcezer [sing;] és a város neve ama naptól fogva: Ott [lakik] az Úr!

3857. 'And Rachel was barren' means that interior truths were not received. This is clear from the representation of 'Rachel' as the affection for interior truth, dealt with already, and from the meaning of 'barren' as not giving rise to doctrines, nor thus Churches. This statement expresses the opposite of what is said in reference to Leah, that is, that 'Jehovah opened her womb', meaning that the affection represented by her gave rise to the doctrines taught by the Churches. The reason interior truths were not received is that interior truths are such as go above the range of man's belief, that is to say, they do not fall into ideas he has and are not conditioned by the outward appearances or the illusions of the senses by which everyone allows himself to be led. He does not believe interior truths unless in some way they coincide with those appearances or illusions.

[2] For example, it is an interior truth that intervals of time and of space do not exist in the next life, but states instead. Man who is within time and space while he lives in the world forms all his ideas from these, so much so that he cannot have any thought without them, 3404. Consequently unless the states which exist in the next life were described by means of the intervals of time and space which man experiences, that is, by means of the kind of things that are moulded by time and space, he would perceive nothing and so believe nothing, and as a consequence would receive nothing. Doctrine would in that case be barren and no Church would arise from it.

[3] Take another example. Unless celestial and spiritual affections were described by means of such things as constitute worldly and bodily affections man would not perceive anything, for these are the affections he experiences, and it is from them that he is able to have notions about celestial and spiritual affections. Yet the two types of affections are as different from each other, or as far apart, as heaven from earth. Take for example the glory of heaven, that is, of the angels in heaven, 3839. Unless man modelled his idea of the glory of heaven on the idea of the glory which exists in the world he would not grasp it at all and so would not acknowledge it. The same applies to all other interior or heavenly things.

[4] For this reason the Lord has spoken in the Word in accordance with man's own ability to grasp things and with the appearances that go with that grasp of them. The literal sense of the Word is such, yet at the same time is of such a nature that it holds within it the internal sense which contains interior truths. This then explains why it is said in reference to Leah that 'Jehovah opened her womb', and that 'Rachel was barren'; for as has been stated, 'Leah' represents the affection for exterior truth, 'Rachel' the affection for interior truth. But because exterior truths are the first truths which a person learns, the Lord has provided that by means of them he can be introduced into interior truths. This provision is meant by the statement in Genesis 30:22 that God at last remembered Rachel, hearkened to her, and opened her womb.

[5] The truth of all this may be seen from the Churches which existed in ancient times, and from their doctrinal teachings, namely that their teachings were formed from external truths. With the Ancient Church which existed after the Flood their doctrinal teachings were for the most part external representatives and meaningful signs which had internal truths stored within them. For the majority of its members holy worship consisted in those external representatives and signs. If anyone had told them that the essential ingredients of Divine worship were not those representatives and meaningful signs but the spiritual and celestial realities represented and meant by these, they would have rejected them altogether, and so the Church would have ceased to exist. This applied even more to the Jewish Church. If anyone had told them that their religious observances received their holiness from the Divine things that were the Lord's within them they would not have acknowledged them at all.

[6] Such also was mankind when the Lord came into the world. They had grown even more bodily-minded, especially so those who were members of the Church. This is quite evident even from the disciples who, though with the Lord constantly and hearing so many things about His kingdom, were as yet unable to perceive interior truths. They were still unable to have any other concept of the Lord than such as exists with the Jews at the present day about the Messiah whom they are still awaiting. They imagined that He would promote that people to a position of dominion and glory over all nations throughout the world. And after hearing so many things from the Lord about the heavenly kingdom the disciples were still unable to think anything else than that the heavenly kingdom would be like an earthly kingdom, where God the Father would be supreme, after Him the Son, and then themselves the twelve, and so would reign in this order. For the same reasons also James and John asked to sit one on His right and the other on the left, Mark 10:35-37; and the rest of the disciples were angry at these two wishing to be greater than the rest, Mark 10:41; Matthew 20:24. For the same reason also, after teaching them what it was to be greatest in heaven, Matthew 20:25-28; Mark 10:42-45, the Lord still spoke in the way that they themselves thought. That is to say, He spoke of them sitting on twelve thrones and judging the twelve tribes of Israel, Luke 22:24, 30; Matthew 19:28.

[7] If they had been told that the word 'disciples' was not used to mean themselves but all people in whom the good of love and faith dwells, 3354, 3488, and also that in the Lord's kingdom there are no thrones, nor positions of government and dominion, as in the world, and that they would not be able to pass judgement on even the smallest aspect of any one person, 2129, 2553, they would have rejected that saying, and each would have left the Lord and gone back to his own employment. The reason why the Lord spoke in the way He did was so that they would receive those things and through them be introduced into internal truths. For within the external truths which the Lord spoke internal truths lay stored away which in course of time are laid bare. And when these are laid bare those external truths are dispelled and serve solely as the objects or the means for thought about internal ones. From these considerations one may recognize what is meant by the fact that Jehovah opened Leah's womb first and she bore sons to Jacob, and that Rachel did so subsequently.

Exodus 39

Სწავლა

   

1 Of the blue, purple, and scarlet, they made finely worked garments, for ministering in the holy place, and made the holy garments for Aaron; as Yahweh commanded Moses.

2 He made the ephod of gold, blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen.

3 They beat the gold into thin plates, and cut it into wires, to work it in the blue, in the purple, in the scarlet, and in the fine linen, the work of the skillful workman.

4 They made shoulder straps for it, joined together. At the two ends it was joined together.

5 The skillfully woven band that was on it, with which to fasten it on, was of the same piece, like its work; of gold, of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen; as Yahweh commanded Moses.

6 They worked the onyx stones, enclosed in settings of gold, engraved with the engravings of a signet, according to the names of the children of Israel.

7 He put them on the shoulder straps of the ephod, to be stones of memorial for the children of Israel, as Yahweh commanded Moses.

8 He made the breastplate, the work of a skillful workman, like the work of the ephod; of gold, of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen.

9 It was square. They made the breastplate double. Its length was a span, and its breadth a span, being double.

10 They set in it four rows of stones. A row of ruby, topaz, and beryl was the first row;

11 and the second row, a turquoise, a sapphire, and an emerald;

12 and the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;

13 and the fourth row, a chrysolite, an onyx, and a jasper. They were enclosed in gold settings.

14 The stones were according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names; like the engravings of a signet, everyone according to his name, for the twelve tribes.

15 They made on the breastplate chains like cords, of braided work of pure gold.

16 They made two settings of gold, and two gold rings, and put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.

17 They put the two braided chains of gold in the two rings at the ends of the breastplate.

18 The other two ends of the two braided chains they put on the two settings, and put them on the shoulder straps of the ephod, in its front.

19 They made two rings of gold, and put them on the two ends of the breastplate, on its edge, which was toward the side of the ephod inward.

20 They made two rings of gold, and put them on the two shoulder straps of the ephod underneath, in its front, close by its coupling, above the skillfully woven band of the ephod.

21 They bound the breastplate by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it might be on the skillfully woven band of the ephod, and that the breastplate might not come loose from the ephod, as Yahweh commanded Moses.

22 He made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue.

23 The opening of the robe in its midst was like the opening of a coat of mail, with a binding around its opening, that it should not be torn.

24 They made on the skirts of the robe pomegranates of blue, purple, scarlet, and twined linen.

25 They made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates around the skirts of the robe, between the pomegranates;

26 a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, around the skirts of the robe, to minister in, as Yahweh commanded Moses.

27 They made the coats of fine linen of woven work for Aaron, and for his sons,

28 and the turban of fine linen, and the linen headbands of fine linen, and the linen breeches of fine twined linen,

29 and the sash of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, the work of the embroiderer, as Yahweh commanded Moses.

30 They made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote on it a writing, like the engravings of a signet: "holy TO YAHWEH."

31 They tied to it a lace of blue, to fasten it on the turban above, as Yahweh commanded Moses.

32 Thus all the work of the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting was finished. The children of Israel did according to all that Yahweh commanded Moses; so they did.

33 They brought the tabernacle to Moses, the tent, with all its furniture, its clasps, its boards, its bars, its pillars, its sockets,

34 the covering of rams' skins dyed red, the covering of sea cow hides, the veil of the screen,

35 the ark of the testimony with its poles, the mercy seat,

36 the table, all its vessels, the show bread,

37 the pure lampstand, its lamps, even the lamps to be set in order, all its vessels, the oil for the light,

38 the golden altar, the anointing oil, the sweet incense, the screen for the door of the Tent,

39 the bronze altar, its grating of brass, its poles, all of its vessels, the basin and its base,

40 the hangings of the court, its pillars, its sockets, the screen for the gate of the court, its cords, its pins, all the instruments of the service of the tabernacle, for the Tent of Meeting,

41 the finely worked garments for ministering in the holy place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's office.

42 According to all that Yahweh commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did all the work.

43 Moses saw all the work, and behold, they had done it as Yahweh had commanded, even so had they done it: and Moses blessed them.
