1 At gagawa ka ng isang dambana na mapagsusunugan ng kamangyan: na kahoy na akasia iyong gagawin.

2 Isang siko magkakaroon ang haba niyaon, at isang siko ang luwang niyaon; parisukat nga: at dalawang siko magkakaroon ang taas niyaon: ang mga anyong sungay niyaon ay kaputol din.

3 At iyong babalutin ng taganas na ginto ang ibabaw niyaon, at ang mga tagiliran niyaon sa palibot, at ang mga sungay niyaon; at igagawa mo ng isang kornisang ginto sa palibot.

4 At igagawa mo yaon ng dalawang argolyang ginto sa ilalim ng kornisa, sa dakong itaas ng dalawang tagiliran iyong gagawin; at magiging suutan ng mga pingga upang mabuhat.

5 At ang iyong gagawing mga pingga ay kahoy na akasia, at iyong babalutin ng ginto.

6 At iyong ilalagay sa harap ng tabing na nasa siping ng kaban ng patotoo, sa harap ng luklukan ng awa na nasa ibabaw ng kaban ng patotoo, na aking pakikipagtagpuan sa iyo.

7 At magsusunog si Aaron sa ibabaw niyaon ng kamangyan na mababangong espesia: tuwing umaga pagka kaniyang inaayos ang mga ilawan, ay susunugin niya.

8 At pagka sinisindihan ni Aaron ang mga ilawan sa hapon, ay kaniyang susunugin, na isang kamangyang palagi sa harap ng Panginoon, sa buong panahon ng inyong mga lahi.

9 Huwag kayong maghahandog ng ibang kamangyan sa ibabaw niyaon, o ng handog na susunugin, o ng handog na harina man: at huwag kayong magbubuhos ng inuming handog sa ibabaw niyaon.

10 At si Aaron ay tutubos ng sala sa ibabaw ng mga anyong sungay ng dambana, minsan sa isang taon: kaniyang tutubusin sa sala na minsan sa isang taon, ng dugo ng handog dahil sa kasalanan, sa buong panahon ng inyong mga lahi: kabanal-banalan nga sa Panginoon.

11 At ang Panginoon ay nagsalita kay Moises, na sinasabi,

12 Pagbilang mo sa mga anak ni Israel, ayon sa mga nabilang sa kanila ay magbibigay nga ang bawa't isa sa kanila ng katubusan ng kaniyang kaluluwa sa Panginoon, pagka iyong binibilang sila; upang huwag magkaroon ng salot sa gitna nila pagka iyong binibilang sila.

13 Ito ang kanilang ibibigay, bawa't maraanan sa kanila na nangabibilang: kalahati ng isang siklo ayon sa siklo ng santuario: (ang isang siklo ay dalawang pung gera): kalahating siklo na pinakahandog sa Panginoon.

14 Bawa't maraanan sa kanila na nangabibilang, mula sa dalawang pung taong gulang na patanda, ay magbibigay ng handog sa Panginoon.

15 Ang mayaman ay hindi magbibigay ng higit, at ang dukha ay hindi magbibigay ng kulang sa kalahating siklo, pagbibigay nila ng handog sa Panginoon, upang ipangtubos sa inyong mga kaluluwa.

16 At iyong kukunin sa mga anak ni Israel ang pangtubos na salapi, at iyong gugugulin sa paglilingkod sa tabernakulo ng kapisanan; na maging pinakaalaala sa mga anak ni Israel sa harap ng Panginoon, upang ipangtubos sa inyong mga kaluluwa.

17 At ang Panginoon ay nagsalita kay Moises, na sinasabi,

18 Gagawa ka rin ng isang hugasang tanso, at ang tungtungan ay tanso, upang paghugasan: at iyong ilalagay sa gitna ng tabernakulo ng kapisanan at ng dambana at iyong sisidlan ng tubig.

19 At si Aaron at ang kaniyang mga anak ay maghuhugas doon ng kanilang mga paa:

20 Pagka sila'y pumapasok sa tabernakulo ng kapisanan, ay maghuhugas sila ng tubig, upang sila'y huwag mamatay, o pagka sila'y lumalapit sa dambana na mangasiwa, upang magsunog ng handog na pinaraan sa apoy sa Panginoon.

21 Gayon sila maghuhugas ng kanilang mga kamay at ng kanilang mga paa upang huwag silang mamatay: at magiging isang palatuntunan magpakailan man sa kanila, sa kaniya at sa kaniyang binhi, sa buong panahon ng kanilang mga lahi.

22 Bukod dito'y nagsalita ang Panginoon kay Moises, na sinasabi,

23 Magdala ka rin ng mga pinakamagaling na espesia, ng taganas na mira ay limang daang siklo, at ng mabangong kanela ay kalahati nito, dalawang daan at limang pu; at ng mabangong kalamo ay dalawang daan at limang pu,

24 At ng kasia, limang daan, ayon sa siklo ng santuario, at ng langis ng oliva ay isang hin:

25 At iyong gagawing banal na langis na pangpahid, isang pabangong kinatha ng ayon sa katha ng manggagawa ng pabango: siya ngang magiging banal na langis na pangpahid.

26 At iyong papahiran niyaon ang tabernakulo ng kapisanan, at ang kaban ng patotoo,

27 At ang dulang, at ang lahat ng mga kasangkapan niyaon, at ang kandelero at ang mga kasangkapan niyaon, at ang dambanang suuban.

28 At ang dambana ng handog na susunugin sangpu ng lahat ng mga kasangkapan, at ang hugasan at ang tungtungan.

29 At pakabanalin mo upang maging mga kabanalbanalan: lahat ng makahipo sa mga yao'y magiging banal.

30 At iyong papahiran ng langis si Aaron at ang kaniyang mga anak, at iyong papagbabanalin sila, upang sila'y mangasiwa sa akin sa katungkulang saserdote.

31 At iyong sasalitain sa mga anak ni Israel, na iyong sasabihin, Ito'y magiging banal na langis na pangpahid sa akin sa buong panahon ng iyong mga lahi.

32 Sa laman ng tao ay huwag ninyong ibubuhos, ni huwag kayong gagawa ng gaya niyan sa pagkakatha: banal nga at aariin ninyong banal.

33 Sinomang kumatha ng gaya niyan, o sinomang gumamit niyan sa isang taga ibang lupa, ay ihihiwalay sa kaniyang bayan.

34 At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises, Magdala ka ng mababangong espesia, estacte, at onycha, at galbano; mabangong espesia na may taganas na kamangyan: na magkakaisa ng timbang;

35 At iyong gagawing kamangyan, na isang pabangong ayon sa katha ng manggagawa ng pabango, na tinimplahan ng asin, na pulos at banal;

36 At iyong didikdikin ang iba niyan ng durog na durog at ilalagay mo sa harap ng kaban ng patotoo, sa loob ng tabernakulo ng kapisanan na aking pakikipagtagpuan sa iyo: aariin ninyong kabanalbanalan.

37 At ang kamangyan na inyong gagawin, ayon sa pagkakatha niyan ay huwag ninyong gagawin para sa inyo: aariin mong banal sa Panginoon.

38 Sinomang gumawa ng gaya niyan, upang amuyin ay ihihiwalay sa kaniyang bayan.

Apocalypse Explained #167

Проучи го овој пасус

  
/ 1232  
  

167. And all [the churches] shall know that I am he who searcheth the reins and hearts. That this signifies the acknowledgment, on the part of all those who belong to the church, that the Lord alone knows and explores the exteriors and interiors and the things pertaining to faith and love is evident from the signification of searching, when said of the Lord, as being that He alone knows and explores; and from the signification of the reins, as being the truths of faith, and their purification from falsities, concerning which we shall speak in what follows; and from the signification of hearts, as being the goods of love. The reason why the heart signifies the good of love is, that there are two things that reign in man, from which all the life of his body is derived - the heart and the lungs. And because all things in a man's body correspond to all the things in his mind, and there are also two things that reign there, the will and the understanding, therefore these two kingdoms of the mind correspond to the two kingdoms of the body - the will to the heart and its pulse, and the understanding to the lungs and their respiration; without this correspondence the body could not live, nor even a particle of it. Because the heart corresponds to the will, it also corresponds to the good of love; and as the lungs correspond to the understanding, they also correspond to the truths of faith. It is from this correspondence that the heart signifies love, and the soul (anima) signifies faith; hence the expression "from the heart and soul" is so often used in the Word, by which is meant from the love and faith. (This correspondence is much treated of in Arcana Coelestia, where the following particulars may be seen more fully explained, namely, that the heart in the Word signifies love, and because it signifies love, that it also signifies the will, n. 2930, 3313, 7542, 8910, 9050, 9113, 10336. That the heart corresponds to the things that pertain to man's love, and the lungs to the things that pertain to his faith, n. 3883-3896. That in heaven there is a pulse like that of the heart, and a respiration like that of the lungs, n. 3884, 3885, 3887. That the pulse of the heart there is according to the state of love, and the respiration of the lungs according to the state of faith, n. 3886-3889; that the influx of the heart into the lungs is circumstanced like the influx of good into truth, or of the will into the understanding and of love into faith, and that the communications and conjunctions are similar, n. 3884, 3887-3889, 9300, 9495. Concerning the influx of heaven into the heart and into the lungs, from experience, n. 3884. That from this correspondence in the Word, when it is said from the heart and from the soul, it signifies from the love and faith, n. 2930, 9050; that the conjunction of man's spirit with his body is by means of the respiration of the lungs and of the pulse of the heart, and that therefore when these cease, man's body dies, but his spirit lives, see the work, Heaven and Hell; and that when the pulse of the heart ceases, the spirit is separated, because the heart corresponds to love which is the vital heat, n.447, in that work. Many other things concerning that correspondence may be seen there, n. 95.) That the kidneys signify the truths of faith and the purification of them from falsities, is because the purification of the blood is performed in the kidneys; and by blood in the Word is signified truth, as may be seen, Arcana Coelestia. n. 4735, 9127. The same also is signified by the organ which purifies: also all purification from falsities is effected by means of truths.

It is therefore evident that by Jehovah, or the Lord, in the Word, searching the heart and reins is signified that He explores the goods of love and the truths of faith, and separates them from evils and falsities.

[2] This is signified by reins in the following places: in Jeremiah,

"Jehovah Zebaoth, judge of justice, proving the reins and the heart" (11:20).

Again:

"Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root: they grow, yea, they bring forth fruit; thou art near in their mouth and far from their reins. Jehovah, thou shalt see me, and shalt prove my heart" (12:2, 3).

By being near in the mouth, and far from the reins is meant truth only in the memory, and thence in some of his thoughts when a man speaks, but not in the will and thence in act. Truth in the will and thence in act is that which separates and dissipates falsities; truth in the will and thence in act is to will and do what a man knows and thinks to be truth; this truth is what is specifically meant by reins.

[3] Again in the same prophet:

"I Jehovah search the heart, and prove the reins, even to give every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his works" (17:10).

To search the heart is to purify good by separating evil from it; to prove the reins, is to purify truth by separating falsity from it. It is therefore said, "To give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his works"; ways denote the truths of faith, and the fruit of works denotes the goods of love. (That ways denote truths of faith, may be seen above, n. 97, and that the fruit of works denotes the goods of love, n. 98, 109, 116.)

[4] In the same:

"Jehovah Zebaoth, proving the just, seeing the reins and the heart" (20:12).

And in David:

"Establish the just for thou who triest the hearts and reins art a just God" (Psalms 7:9).

The just denote those who love to do what is good and true, whose truths and goods are purified by the Lord, which is signified by His seeing and trying the reins and the hearts.

In the same:

"Prove me, O Jehovah, and try me, explore my reins and my heart" (Psalms 26:2).

Because truths are separated from falsities and goods from evils by temptations, it is therefore said, try me. In the same:

"For my heart was embittered and I am pricked in my reins. But I am foolish, and I do not know" (Psalms 73:21, 22).

The infestation of good by evil and of truth by falsity, is described by these words.

In the same:

"Behold, thou desirest truth in the reins, and in the hidden part thou makest wisdom known to me" (Psalms 51:6).

Here reins are expressed by another word in the original tongue, which involves the separation both of falsities from truths and of evils from goods. It is therefore evident that the reins signify purification and separation.

[5] In the same:

"I will bless Jehovah, who hath given me counsel; nightly, also, do my reins chastise me" (Psalms 16:7).

Nights signify the state of man when falsities rise up; the combat in such cases of truths with them is signified by "my reins chastise me." In the same:

"Even the darkness doth not make darkness before thee, but the night is light as the day; as the darkness so is the light; for thou possessest my reins, my bone was not hid from thee when I was made in secret" (Psalms 139:12, 13, 15).

Falsities are signified by darkness and truths by light; to possess the reins, is to know the falsities and truths pertaining to man; hence it is said, "my bone was not hid from thee when I was made in secret," which signifies that no falsity that was made could be bid. (That darkness denotes falsities and light truths may be seen in the work, Heaven and Hell 126-140 and that bone signifies truth in the ultimate of order, and, in the opposite sense, falsity, in Arcana Coelestia 3812, 5560, 5565, 6592, 8005.)

[6] Because the reins signified truths purified from falsities, therefore in the sacrifices the fats and reins were alone offered up, as may be seen in Exodus 29:13; Leviticus 3:4, 10, 15; 4:9; and other places.

The reason why the fats and reins alone were offered upon the altar was, because the fats signified the goods of love, and the reins the truths of faith. (That fats or fatnesses signify the goods of love, may be seen, Arcana Coelestia 353, 5943, 6409, 10033. That the reins signify the truths of faith examining, purifying, and rejecting from themselves falsities is from correspondence; for all parts of the body, even the most minute, have a correspondence, as may be seen in the work, Heaven and Hell, where it is shown, under its proper article, that "there is a correspondence of all things of heaven with all things of man," n. 87-102; and concerning the kidneys, n.96, 97.) Unless it be known that there is such a correspondence, who could know why it is so often stated of Jehovah, or the Lord, in the Word, that He searches and tries the reins and the heart? (Concerning the correspondence of the kidneys, the ureters, and vesicles, see Arcana Coelestia 5380-5386.) The reason why to search the reins and the heart also signifies to explore the exteriors and interiors of man is, that truth is without, and good is within; and spiritual good, which in its essence is truth, and which is specifically signified by the reins, is exterior good: but celestial good, which is specifically signified by the heart, is interior good. (This is more evident from what is said and shown concerning, the spiritual kingdom and the celestial kingdom in the work, Heaven and Hell 20-26.)
