Exodus 27

Studie

   

1 Uděláš také oltář z dříví setim pěti loket zdýlí a pěti loket zšíří; čtverhranatý bude oltář, a tří loket zvýší bude.

2 A zděláš mu rohy na čtyřech úhlech jeho; z něho budou rohové jeho; a obložíš jej mědí.

3 Naděláš také k němu hrnců, do kterýchž by popel bral, a lopat a kotlíku, a vidliček a nádob k uhlí. Všecka nádobí jeho z mědi uděláš.

4 Uděláš mu i rošt mřežovaný měděný, a u té mříže čtyři kruhy měděné na čtyřech rozích jejích.

5 A dáš ji pod okolek oltáře do vnitřku; a bude ta mříže až do polu oltáře.

6 Uděláš k tomu oltáři i sochory z dříví setim, a mědí je okuješ.

7 A ti sochorové provlečeni budou skrze ty kruhy; a budou sochorové ti na obou stranách oltáře, když nošen bude.

8 Uděláš jej z desk, aby byl vnitř prázdný; jakž ukázáno tobě na hoře, tak udělají.

9 Uděláš také síň příbytku k straně polední; koltry síně té očkovaté budou z bílého hedbáví soukaného; sto loket zdélí ať má kraj jeden.

10 Sloupů pak bude k nim dvadcet, a podstavků k nim měděných dvadcet; háky na sloupích a přepásaní jich stříbrné.

11 A tak i strana půlnoční na dýl ať má koltry očkovaté sto loket zdýlí, a sloupů svých dvadceti, a podstavků k nim měděných dvadceti; háky na sloupích a přepásaní jich stříbrné.

12 Na šíř pak té síně k straně západní budou koltry očkovaté padesáti loktů zdýlí, a sloupů k nim deset, a podstavků jejich deset.

13 A širokost síně v straně přední na východ bude padesáti loktů.

14 Patnácti loktů budou koltry očkovaté k straně jedné, sloupové k nim tři, a podstavkové jejich tři.

15 A k straně druhé patnácti loktů zdýlí budou koltry očkovaté, sloupové jejich tři, a podstavkové jejich tři.

16 K bráně pak té síně uděláno bude zastření dvadcíti loktů z postavce modrého a šarlatu, a z červce dvakrát barveného, a bílého hedbáví soukaného, dílem krumpéřským, sloupové k němu čtyři, a podstavkové jejich čtyři.

17 Všickni sloupové síně vůkol přepásani budou stříbrem; hákové pak jejich budou stříbrní, a podstavkové jejich mědění.

18 Dlouhost síně bude sto loket, a širokost padesáte, všudy jednostejná, vysokost pak pěti loktů, z bílého hedbáví soukaného, a podstavkové budou mědění.

19 Všecka nádobí příbytku, ke vší službě jeho, a všickni kolíkové jeho, i všickni kolíkové síně z mědi budou.

20 Ty také přikaž synům Izraelským, ať nanesou oleje olivového čistého, vytlačeného k svícení, aby lampy vždycky rozsvěcovány byly.

21 V stánku úmluvy před oponou, kteráž zastírati bude svědectví, spravovati je budou Aron a synové jeho od večera až do jitra před Hospodinem. Toť bude řád věčný, kterýž zachovávati budou potomci jejich mezi syny Izraelskými.

9757. 'Their pillars, and the bases of these, ten' means the quantity also of supporting forms of good, and of truths springing from these, needed for the purposes they have to serve. This is clear from the meaning of 'pillars' as forms of good which provide support, as above in 9747; from the meaning of 'bases' as truths springing from good which also provide support, dealt with above in 9748; and from the meaning of 'ten' as a sufficient amount or the amount needed for the purposes they have to serve. The situation with the forms of good and the truths that provide support is similar to that with the actual truths that are being supported, 9756; therefore 'ten' here implies much the same as 'fifty' or 'five', that is to say, the amount needed for the purposes they have to serve. Ten is also a product of five when multiplied, being the double of it, and multiple numbers are similar in meaning to the simple ones which are their factors, 5291, 5335, 5708, 7973.

Arcana Coelestia #5335

5335. 'And Joseph was a son of thirty years' means a state when the quantity of remnants was complete. This is clear from the meaning of 'thirty' as a completed number of remnants, dealt with below, and from the meaning of 'years' as states, dealt with in 482, 487, 488, 493, 893. In the Word the number thirty can mean some existence of conflict, or else it can mean a completed number of remnants. The reason why that number has this twofold meaning is that it is arrived at by multiplying five and six, or else by multiplying three and ten. When it is the product of five times six it means some existence of conflict, 2276, because 'five' means some, 649, 4638, 5291, and 'six' conflict, 720, 737, 900, 1709. But when thirty is the product of three times ten it means a completed number of remnants, because 'three' means that which is complete, 2788, 4495, and 'ten' means remnants, 576, 1906, 2284. A composite number implies much the same as the simple ones of which it is the product, 5291. Remnants are the truths joined to good which have been stored away by the Lord in a person's interior parts, see 468, 530, 560, 561, 576, 660, 1050, 1738, 1906, 2284, 5135.

[2] A completed number of remnants is likewise meant by 'thirty' - as it is also by 'sixty', and by 'a hundred' too - in Mark,

The seed which fell into good ground yielded fruit growing up and increasing. One bore thirty-fold, and another sixty, and another a hundred. Mark 4:8, 10.

Each of these numbers, being a multiple of ten, means a completed number of remnants. Also, because no one can be regenerated - that is, permitted to enter into spiritual temptations, by means of which regeneration is effected - until he has received a completed number of remnants, it was therefore laid down that no Levite should carry out any work in the tent of meeting until he was fully thirty years old. Their work or function is also called 'military service', being referred to in Moses as follows,

Take a census of the sons of Kohath from the midst of the sons of Levi - from sons thirty years of age and over, up to sons fifty years of age, everyone coming to perform military service, to do the work in the tent of meeting. Numbers 4:2-3.

Much the same is said regarding the sons of Gershon, and much the same regarding the sons of Merari, in verses 22, 23, 29, 30, and then in verses 35, 39, 43. Of that same chapter in Moses. And something similar is implied where it says that David began to reign when he was a son thirty years of age, 2 Samuel 5:4.

[3] From all this one may now see why the Lord did not make Himself known until He was thirty years of age, Luke 3:23. At that age a completed number of remnants existed with Him, though these remnants which the Lord possessed were ones that He Himself had acquired for Himself. They were also Divine ones and the means by which He united His Human Essence to His Divine Essence and made that Human Essence Divine, 1906. In Him therefore lies the reason why 'thirty years' means a state when the quantity of remnants is complete and why the priests the Levites began to perform their specific functions when they were thirty years old. And because he was to represent the Lord's kingship, David did not begin to reign until he was that same age. For every representative is derived from the Lord, and therefore every representative has reference to Him.
