1 καὶ ποιήσεις θυσιαστήριον ἐκ ξύλων ἀσήπτων πέντε πήχεων τὸ μῆκος καὶ πέντε πήχεων τὸ εὖρος τετράγωνον ἔσται τὸ θυσιαστήριον καὶ τριῶν πήχεων τὸ ὕψος αὐτοῦ

2 καὶ ποιήσεις τὰ κέρατα ἐπὶ τῶν τεσσάρων γωνιῶν ἐξ αὐτοῦ ἔσται τὰ κέρατα καὶ καλύψεις αὐτὰ χαλκῷ

3 καὶ ποιήσεις στεφάνην τῷ θυσιαστηρίῳ καὶ τὸν καλυπτῆρα αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰς φιάλας αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰς κρεάγρας αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸ πυρεῖον αὐτοῦ καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ ποιήσεις χαλκᾶ

4 καὶ ποιήσεις αὐτῷ ἐσχάραν ἔργῳ δικτυωτῷ χαλκῆν καὶ ποιήσεις τῇ ἐσχάρᾳ τέσσαρας δακτυλίους χαλκοῦς ἐπὶ τὰ τέσσαρα κλίτη

5 καὶ ὑποθήσεις αὐτοὺς ὑπὸ τὴν ἐσχάραν τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου κάτωθεν ἔσται δὲ ἡ ἐσχάρα ἕως τοῦ ἡμίσους τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου

6 καὶ ποιήσεις τῷ θυσιαστηρίῳ φορεῖς ἐκ ξύλων ἀσήπτων καὶ περιχαλκώσεις αὐτοὺς χαλκῷ

7 καὶ εἰσάξεις τοὺς φορεῖς εἰς τοὺς δακτυλίους καὶ ἔστωσαν οἱ φορεῖς κατὰ τὰ πλευρὰ τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου ἐν τῷ αἴρειν αὐτό

8 κοῖλον σανιδωτὸν ποιήσεις αὐτό κατὰ τὸ παραδειχθέν σοι ἐν τῷ ὄρει οὕτως ποιήσεις αὐτό

9 καὶ ποιήσεις αὐλὴν τῇ σκηνῇ εἰς τὸ κλίτος τὸ πρὸς λίβα ἱστία τῆς αὐλῆς ἐκ βύσσου κεκλωσμένης μῆκος ἑκατὸν πηχῶν τῷ ἑνὶ κλίτει

10 καὶ οἱ στῦλοι αὐτῶν εἴκοσι καὶ αἱ βάσεις αὐτῶν εἴκοσι χαλκαῖ καὶ οἱ κρίκοι αὐτῶν καὶ αἱ ψαλίδες αὐτῶν ἀργυραῖ

11 οὕτως τῷ κλίτει τῷ πρὸς ἀπηλιώτην ἱστία ἑκατὸν πηχῶν μῆκος καὶ οἱ στῦλοι αὐτῶν εἴκοσι καὶ αἱ βάσεις αὐτῶν εἴκοσι χαλκαῖ καὶ οἱ κρίκοι καὶ αἱ ψαλίδες τῶν στύλων καὶ αἱ βάσεις αὐτῶν περιηργυρωμέναι ἀργύρῳ

12 τὸ δὲ εὖρος τῆς αὐλῆς τὸ κατὰ θάλασσαν ἱστία πεντήκοντα πηχῶν στῦλοι αὐτῶν δέκα καὶ αἱ βάσεις αὐτῶν δέκα

13 καὶ εὖρος τῆς αὐλῆς τὸ πρὸς νότον ἱστία πεντήκοντα πήχεων στῦλοι αὐτῶν δέκα καὶ αἱ βάσεις αὐτῶν δέκα

14 καὶ πεντεκαίδεκα πήχεων τὸ ὕψος τῶν ἱστίων τῷ κλίτει τῷ ἑνί στῦλοι αὐτῶν τρεῖς καὶ αἱ βάσεις αὐτῶν τρεῖς

15 καὶ τὸ κλίτος τὸ δεύτερον δέκα πέντε πηχῶν τῶν ἱστίων τὸ ὕψος στῦλοι αὐτῶν τρεῖς καὶ αἱ βάσεις αὐτῶν τρεῖς

16 καὶ τῇ πύλῃ τῆς αὐλῆς κάλυμμα εἴκοσι πηχῶν τὸ ὕψος ἐξ ὑακίνθου καὶ πορφύρας καὶ κοκκίνου κεκλωσμένου καὶ βύσσου κεκλωσμένης τῇ ποικιλίᾳ τοῦ ῥαφιδευτοῦ στῦλοι αὐτῶν τέσσαρες καὶ αἱ βάσεις αὐτῶν τέσσαρες

17 πάντες οἱ στῦλοι τῆς αὐλῆς κύκλῳ κατηργυρωμένοι ἀργυρίῳ καὶ αἱ κεφαλίδες αὐτῶν ἀργυραῖ καὶ αἱ βάσεις αὐτῶν χαλκαῖ

18 τὸ δὲ μῆκος τῆς αὐλῆς ἑκατὸν ἐφ' ἑκατόν καὶ εὖρος πεντήκοντα ἐπὶ πεντήκοντα καὶ ὕψος πέντε πηχῶν ἐκ βύσσου κεκλωσμένης καὶ αἱ βάσεις αὐτῶν χαλκαῖ

19 καὶ πᾶσα ἡ κατασκευὴ καὶ πάντα τὰ ἐργαλεῖα καὶ οἱ πάσσαλοι τῆς αὐλῆς χαλκοῖ

20 καὶ σὺ σύνταξον τοῖς υἱοῖς ισραηλ καὶ λαβέτωσάν σοι ἔλαιον ἐξ ἐλαίων ἄτρυγον καθαρὸν κεκομμένον εἰς φῶς καῦσαι ἵνα κάηται λύχνος διὰ παντός

21 ἐν τῇ σκηνῇ τοῦ μαρτυρίου ἔξωθεν τοῦ καταπετάσματος τοῦ ἐπὶ τῆς διαθήκης καύσει αὐτὸ ααρων καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ ἀφ' ἑσπέρας ἕως πρωὶ ἐναντίον κυρίου νόμιμον αἰώνιον εἰς τὰς γενεὰς ὑμῶν παρὰ τῶν υἱῶν ισραηλ

Arcana Coelestia #9872

9872. A tarshish [ beryl], and an onyx, and a jasper. That this signifies the spiritual love of truth, in which the higher things cease, is evident from the signification of these stones, which they derive from their colors; for the color of all the stones of this row verges toward a shining white that is from blue. That the tarshish [beryl] signifies the spiritual love of truth, is evident from the passages in the Word where it is mentioned, as in Ezekiel:

Behold four wheels beside the cherubs; and the appearance of the wheels was like a tarshish [beryl] stone (Ezekiel 1:16; 10:9);

“the wheels of the cherubs” signify the like as the arms and the feet with man; namely, the power of acting and of advancing, which belongs to truth from good (see n. 8215); it is from this that their appearance was like the tarshish [beryl] stone, for “the tarshish [beryl]” denotes truth from spiritual good, to which belongs power.

[2] In Daniel:

I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and behold a man clothed in linen, and his loins were girded with gold of Uphaz; his body also was like the tarshish [beryl], his face as of lightning, and his eyes as torches of fire (Daniel 10:5-6);

“the man clothed in linen” was an angel from heaven; “linen” signifies truth which clothes good (see n. 7601); “the loins” signify conjugial love, which belongs to good and truth (n. 3021, 4280, 5050-5062); hence the loins are said “to be girded with the gold of Uphaz,” for “gold” denotes the good of love (n. 113, 1551, 1552, 5658, 9490, 9510). But from its correspondence “the body” signifies the good of celestial love, and also the good of spiritual love (see n. 6135); and its external signifies truth from this good; for which reason the angel’s body appeared like a tarshish [beryl]; thus it is evident that a “tarshish [beryl]” denotes the truth of spiritual love.

[3] (That “the onyx,” which is the second stone in this row, signifies the truths of faith from love, was shown above, n. 9476, 9841.) That “the jasper,” which is the third and last stone of this row, signifies the truth of faith, is evident from John in Revelation:

The light of the holy city Jerusalem was like unto a stone most precious, like a jasper stone, like unto a shining crystal (Revelation 21:11);

by “the holy Jerusalem” is signified the church which is to succeed this one of ours; by its “light” is signified the truth of faith and the intelligence thence derived (see n. 9548, 9551, 9555, 9558, 9561, 9684); and therefore it is likened to “a jasper stone like unto a shining crystal;” moreover, a “crystal” denotes the truth of faith from good. Again:

The building of the wall of the holy Jerusalem was jasper; and the city was pure gold, like unto pure glass (Revelation 21:18).

The wall of the city is called “jasper,” because by “the wall” is signified the truth of faith protecting the church (n. 6419); and as this is signified by “the wall,” therefore the first stone of its foundations is said to be jasper (verse 19); for “the foundation” denotes the truth of faith from good (n. 9643).
