Izlazak 31

Studija

   

1 Jahve reče Mojsiju:

2 "Pozvao sam, gledaj, po imenu Besalela, sina Urijeva, od koljena Hurova iz plemena Judina.

3 Napunio sam ga duhom Božjim koji mu je dao umješnost, razumijevanje i sposobnost za svakovrsne poslove:

4 da zamišlja nacrte za radove od zlata, srebra i tuča;

5 za rezanje dragulja, za umetanje; za rezbarije u drvu i poslove svakakve.

6 Dodao sam još Oholiaba, sina Ahisamakova iz Danova plemena; vještinom sam obdario sve sposobne ljude da mognu napraviti sve što sam ti naredio:

7 Šator sastanka, Kovčeg Svjedočanstva, povrh njega Pomirilište i sav namještaj Šatora;

8 stol i sav njegov pribor, čisti svijećnjak sa svim njegovim priborom;

9 kadioni žrtvenik, žrtvenik za žrtve paljenice i njegov pribor, onda umivaonik i njegovo podnožje;

10 odijela za službu, posvećena odijela za svećenika Arona i odijela za njegove sinove, za njihovu svećeničku službu;

11 pa ulje za pomazanje i miomirisni tamjan za Svetište. Sve neka načine kako sam ti naredio."

12 Jahve opet reče Mojsiju:

13 "Reci Izraelcima: Subote moje morate održavati, jer subota je znak između mene i vas od naraštaja do naraštaja, da budete svjesni da vas ja, Jahve, posvećujem.

14 Držite, dakle, subotu, jer je ona za vas sveta. Tko je oskvrne neka se pogubi; tko bude u njoj radio ikakav posao neka se odstrani iz svoga naroda.

15 Šest dana neka se vrše poslovi, ali sedmi dan neka bude dan posvemašnjeg odmora, Jahvi posvećen. Tko bi u dan subotni obavljao kakav posao neka se pogubi.

16 Stoga neka Izraelci drže subotu - svetkujući je od naraštaja do naraštaja - kao vječni savez.

17 Neka je ona znak, zauvijek, između mene i Izraelaca. TÓa Jahve je za šest dana sazdao nebo i zemlju, a sedmoga je dana prestao raditi i odahnuo."

18 Kad Jahve svrši svoj razgovor s Mojsijem na Sinajskom brdu, dade mu dvije ploče Svjedočanstva, ploče kamene, ispisane prstom Božjim.

10458. And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp. That this signifies hell, in which that nation then was, is evident from the signification of “the camp of the sons of Israel,” as being heaven and the church (see n. 4236, 10038); consequently when they were in idolatrous worship, adoring a calf instead of Jehovah, by their “camp” is signified hell; for what is representative of heaven and of the church is turned into what is representative of hell when the people turn themselves from Divine worship to diabolical worship, such as was the worship of the calf. The like is signified by “camp” in Amos:

I have sent among you the pestilence in the way of Egypt; your young men have I slain with the sword, with the captivity of your horses; so that I have made the stink of your camp to come up even into your nose (Amos 4:10).

The vastation of truth is here treated of, and when this is vastated, the “camp” signifies hell. That the vastation of truth is treated of is evident from the details of the passage as viewed in the internal sense; for “pestilence” denotes vastation (n. 7102, 7505); “way” denotes truth, and in the opposite sense falsity (n. 10422); “Egypt” denotes what is external, and also hell (see the places cited in n. 10437); “a sword” denotes falsity fighting against truth (see n. 2799, 4499, 6353, 7102, 8294); “young men” denote the truths of the church (n. 7668); “to be slain” denotes to perish spiritually (see n. 6767, 8902); “captivity” denotes the privation of truth (see n. 7990); “horses” denote an understanding which is enlightened (n. 2760-2762, 3217, 5321, 6125, 6534); and “a stink” denotes what is abominable exhaling from hell (n. 7161). From this it is evident that in this sense a “camp” denotes hell. Hell is also signified by the “camp” of the enemies who were against Jerusalem, and in general against the sons of Israel, in the historicals of the Word.

7078. Be it known that the spirits of other earths do not appear within the sphere where the spirits of our earth are, but outside of it, some at greater, some at less distance, and also in different quarters. The reason is that the spirits of one earth are not of the same genius and life as those of another; also that they constitute different provinces in the Grand Man. The unlikeness of the state of life causes this appearance. But in the inmost heaven they do not appear separated from one another. The spirits of Mercury, however, do not appear in a fixed quarter, nor at a fixed distance, but appear now in front, now to the left, and now a little to the back. The reason is that they are allowed to wander through the universe to acquire knowledges, and thereby to enrich the memory. Their planet is presented to spirits at the back, as is also the sun of the world, when they are thinking about it, for nothing whatever of it appears. The reason why it is presented at the back is that to those who are in the other life the sun of the world is in complete obscurity, and is thick darkness; but the sun of heaven, or the Lord, appears in front before the right eye, because from this sun they have all their light; for the right eye not only corresponds to the intellectual sight insofar as it is illumined by truth, but also insofar as it is illumined by good (n. 4410). In this way does the Lord look at man from good, and illumine him through good.
