1 "Ja kutsu eteesi israelilaisten joukosta veljesi Aaron poikineen, että he pappeina palvelisivat minua, Aaron ja hänen poikansa Naadab ja Abihu, Eleasar ja Iitamar.

2 Ja teetä veljellesi Aaronille pyhät vaatteet, kunniaksi ja kaunistukseksi.

3 Ja puhuttele kaikkia taidollisia miehiä, jotka minä olen täyttänyt taidollisuuden hengellä, että he tekevät vaatteet Aaronille, jotta hänet pyhitettäisiin pappina palvelemaan minua.

4 Ja nämä ovat ne vaatteet, jotka heidän on tehtävä: rintakilpi, kasukka, viitta, ruutuinen ihokas, käärelakki ja vyö. Ja he tehkööt sinun veljellesi Aaronille ja hänen pojilleen pyhät vaatteet, että he pappeina palvelisivat minua.

5 Ja he ottakoot tätä varten kultaa sekä punasinisiä, purppuranpunaisia ja helakanpunaisia lankoja ja valkoisia pellavalankoja.

6 Kasukan he tehkööt kullasta sekä punasinisistä, purppuranpunaisista ja helakanpunaisista langoista ja kerratuista valkoisista pellavalangoista, taidokkaasti kutomalla.

7 Siinä olkoon kaksi yhdistettävää olkakappaletta, ja se kiinnitettäköön niihin molemmista päistään.

8 Ja vyö, jolla kasukka kiinnitetään, olkoon tehty samalla tavalla ja samasta kappaleesta kuin se: kullasta sekä punasinisistä, purppuranpunaisista ja helakanpunaisista langoista ja kerratuista valkoisista pellavalangoista.

9 Ota sitten kaksi onyks-kiveä ja kaiverra niihin Israelin poikien nimet,

10 kuusi heidän nimeään toiseen kiveen ja toiset kuusi nimeä toiseen kiveen siinä järjestyksessä, kuin he ovat syntyneet.

11 Niinkuin taidokkaasti hiotaan kiveä, kaiverretaan sinettisormuksia, niin kaiverra Israelin poikien nimet niihin kahteen kiveen. Ja kehystettäköön ne kultapalmikoimilla.

12 Ja pane molemmat kivet kasukan olkakappaleihin kiviksi, jotka johdattavat muistoon israelilaiset; näin Aaron kantakoon heidän nimiänsä molemmilla olkapäillään Herran kasvojen edessä, että heitä muistettaisiin.

13 Ja tee kultapalmikoimia

14 ja kahdet käädyt puhtaasta kullasta; tee ne punomalla, niinkuin punonnaista tehdään, ja kiinnitä punotut käädyt palmikoimiin.

15 Ja jumalanvastausten rintakilpi tee taidokkaasti kutomalla; tee sekin samalla tavalla, kuin kasukka on tehty: tee se kullasta sekä punasinisistä, purppuranpunaisista ja helakanpunaisista langoista ja kerratuista valkoisista pellavalangoista.

16 Se olkoon neliskulmainen ja taskun muotoon tehty, vaaksan pituinen ja vaaksan levyinen.

17 Ja kiinnitä sen pintaan kiviä yliyltään, neljään riviin: ensimmäiseen riviin karneoli, topaasi ja smaragdi;

18 toiseen riviin rubiini, safiiri ja jaspis;

19 kolmanteen riviin hyasintti, akaatti ja ametisti;

20 ja neljänteen riviin krysoliitti, onyks ja berylli. Kultapalmikoimilla kehystettyinä kiinnitettäköön ne paikoilleen.

21 Kiviä olkoon Israelin poikain nimien mukaan kaksitoista, yksi kutakin nimeä kohti; kussakin kivessä olkoon yksi kahdentoista sukukunnan nimistä, kaiverrettuna samalla tavalla, kuin kaiverretaan sinettisormuksia.

22 Ja tee rintakilpeen puhtaasta kullasta käädyt, punotut, niinkuin punonnaista tehdään.

23 Ja tee rintakilpeen kaksi kultarengasta ja kiinnitä molemmat renkaat rintakilven kahteen yläkulmaan.

24 Ja kiinnitä ne molemmat kultapunonnaiset kahteen renkaaseen rintakilven yläkulmiin.

25 Ja kiinnitä molempien punonnaisten toiset kaksi päätä kahteen palmikoimaan ja kiinnitä nämä kasukan olkakappaleihin, sen etupuolelle.

26 Ja tee vielä kaksi kultarengasta ja pane ne rintakilven molempiin alakulmiin, sen sisäpuoliseen, kasukkaa vasten olevaan reunaan.

27 Ja tee vieläkin kaksi kultarengasta ja kiinnitä ne kasukan molempiin olkakappaleihin, niiden alareunaan, etupuolelle, sauman kohdalle, kasukan vyön yläpuolelle.

28 Ja rintakilpi solmittakoon renkaistaan punasinisellä nauhalla kasukan renkaisiin, niin että se on kasukan vyön yläpuolella; näin rintakilpi ei irtaudu kasukasta.

29 Ja niin Aaron kantakoon jumalanvastausten rintakilvessä sydämensä päällä, astuessaan pyhäkköön, Israelin poikain nimet, että heidät alati johdatettaisiin muistoon Herran edessä.

30 Ja pane jumalanvastausten rintakilpeen uurim ja tummim, niin että ne ovat Aaronin sydämen päällä, hänen astuessaan Herran eteen. Ja niin kantakoon Aaron Jumalan vastaukset israelilaisille sydämensä päällä aina Herran edessä ollessaan.

31 Kasukan viitta tee kokonaan punasinisistä langoista;

32 ja sen keskellä olkoon pääntie, ja tämä pääntie ympäröitäköön kudotulla päärmeellä niinkuin haarniskan aukko, ettei se repeäisi.

33 Ja tee sen helmaan granaattiomenia punasinisistä, purppuranpunaisista ja helakanpunaisista langoista, ja kiinnitä ne helmaan ympärinsä ja niiden väliin kultatiukuja yltympäri,

34 vuorotellen kultatiuku ja granaattiomena, viitan helmaan ympärinsä.

35 Ja Aaron pitäköön sen yllään toimittaessaan virkaansa, niin että kuuluu, kun hän menee pyhäkköön Herran eteen ja tulee sieltä ulos, ettei hän kuolisi.

36 Tee myös otsakoriste puhtaasta kullasta ja kaiverra siihen, niinkuin sinettisormusta kaiverretaan, sanat: 'Herralle pyhitetty'.

37 Ja sido se punasinisellä nauhalla, niin että se on kiinni käärelakissa; etupuolella käärelakkia se olkoon.

38 Ja se olkoon Aaronin otsalla, niin että Aaron kantaa kaiken sen, mitä israelilaiset rikkovat uhratessaan pyhiä uhrejansa ja antaessaan pyhiä lahjojansa; ja se olkoon alati hänen otsallaan, että Herran mielisuosio tulisi heidän osaksensa.

39 Kudo myös ruutuinen ihokas valkoisista pellavalangoista, ja tee käärelakki valkoisista pellavalangoista, ja tee vyö kirjokudoksesta.

40 Ja Aaronin pojille tee ihokkaat ja vyöt; ja tee heille päähineet kunniaksi ja kaunistukseksi.

41 Ja pue ne veljesi Aaronin ja hänen poikiensa ylle; ja voitele heidät ja vihi heidät virkaansa ja pyhitä heidät pappeina palvelemaan minua.

42 Ja tee heille pellavakaatiot hävyn peitteeksi; ulottukoot ne lanteilta reisiin asti.

43 Ja Aaron ja hänen poikansa pitäkööt ne yllään mennessänsä ilmestysmajaan, tahi kun he lähestyvät alttaria tehdäkseen palvelusta pyhäkössä, etteivät he joutuisi syynalaisiksi ja kuolisi. Tämä olkoon ikuinen säädös hänelle ja hänen jälkeläisilleen."

4922. 'And bound on his hand a twice-dyed thread' means that a sign was placed on it, namely on that power - 'twice-dyed' meaning good. This is clear from the meaning of 'binding on the hand' as placing a sign on power, for 'the hand' means power, 4920; and from the meaning of 'twice-dyed' as good, in particular spiritual good. The reason 'twice-dyed' means spiritual good is that this expression describes a shade of scarlet, and in the next life whenever one sees scarlet spiritual good is meant, which is the good of charity towards the neighbour. For all colours clearly visible in the next life mean something connected with good and truth since they are products of the light of heaven, which essentially is wisdom and intelligence flowing from the Lord's Divine. The variegations or modifications of that light are consequently variegations and so to speak modifications of wisdom and intelligence, and therefore of good and truth. For details about the light in heaven flowing from the Lord's Divine wisdom and intelligence, where the Lord is seen as the Sun, see 1053, 1521-1533, 1619-1632, 2776, 3138, 3167, 3190, 3195, 3222, 3223, 3225, 3337, 3339, 3340, 3485, 3636, 3643, 3862, 3993, 4180, 4214, 4302, 4405, 4408, 4413, 4415, 4523-4533; and for details about colours having their origin in that light and about their being variegations and modifications of that light, and therefore of intelligence and wisdom, 1042, 1043, 1053, 1624, 3993, 4530, 4677, 4742.

[2] As regards 'twice-dyed' meaning spiritual good, this is evident from places in the Word where this expression is used, as in Jeremiah,

If therefore you have been laid waste, what will you do? If you clothe yourself in twice-dyed and deck yourself with ornaments of gold, in vain will you make yourself beautiful; your lovers will abhor you. Jeremiah 4:30.

This refers to Judah. 'Clothing yourself in twice-dyed' stands for spiritual good, 'decking yourself with ornaments of gold' for celestial good. In 2 Samuel,

David lamented over Saul and over Jonathan, and wrote it down that they teach the children of Judah the bow. Daughters of Israel, weep over Saul who clothed you in twice-dyed delicately, 1 and placed an ornament of gold on your apparel. 2 Samuel 1:17-18, 24.

Here 'teaching the bow' stands for teaching the doctrine of love and charity, for 'the bow' means that doctrine. 'Clothing in twice-dyed' stands for spiritual good, as previously, and 'placing an ornament of gold on one's apparel' for celestial good.

[3] Such being the meaning of 'twice-dyed', instructions were also given to use twice-dyed scarlet on the curtains of the Dwelling-place, the veil, the covering for the door of the tent, the covering to the gate of the court, the table of the Presence when they were about to set out, Aaron's sacred vestments such as the ephod, the breastplate of judgement, and the fringes of the robe of the ephod:

The curtains of the Dwelling-place

You shall make for the Dwelling-place ten curtains - fine-twined linen, and violet and purple and twice-dyed scarlet. Exodus 26:1.

The veil

You shall make a veil of violet and purple, and of twice-dyed scarlet, and of fine-twined linen. Exodus 26:31.

The covering for the door of the tent

You shall make a covering for the door of the tent, of violet and purple and twice-dyed scarlet, and of fine-twined linen. Exodus 26:36.

[4] The covering to the gate of the court

For the gate of the court you shall make a covering of violet and purple and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine-twined linen, the work of an embroiderer. Exodus 27:16.

The table of the Presence when they were about to set out

When the camp sets out they shall spread over the table of the Presence a cloth of twice-dyed scarlet, and shall cover this with a covering of badger skin. Numbers 4:8.

The ephod

You shall make an ephod out of gold, violet and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, fine-twined linen, the work of a craftsman; and the girdle similarly. Exodus 28:5-6, 8; 39:2-3.

The breastplate of judgement

You shall make the breastplate of judgement, the work of a craftsman, like the work of the ephod, out of gold, violet, and purple. and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine-twined linen. Exodus 28:15.

The fringes of the robe of the ephod

Pomegranates of violet, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet. Exodus 28:33.

[5] It was because the Tent of Meeting with the Ark in it represented heaven that the colours mentioned in these places were required. They meant in their order celestial and spiritual things, as follows: 'Violet and purple' meant celestial kinds of good and truth, 'twice-dyed scarlet and fine-twined linen' spiritual kinds of good and truth. Anyone believing that the Word is holy can recognize that each has a specific meaning, and anyone believing that the Word is holy for the reason that it has been sent down from the Lord by way of heaven can recognize that the celestial and spiritual things belonging to His kingdom are meant. Similar instructions were given, in cleansings from leprosy, to use 'cedarwood, scarlet, and hyssop', Leviticus 14:4, 6, 52; and to cast 'cedarwood and hyssop and twice-dyed of purple' on to the fire in which the red heifer was being burned, from which the water of separation was prepared, Numbers 19:6.

[6] The profanation of good and truth is described by similar words in John,

I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast, full of blasphemous names. It had seven heads and ten horns. The woman was clothed in purple and scarlet. and covered 2 with gold and precious stones and pearls. holding in her hand a golden cup, full of abominations and the uncleanness of whoredom. Revelation 17:3-4.

And after this,

Woe, woe, the great city, you that were clothed in fine linen and purple and scarlet, and covered' with gold and precious stones and pearls. Revelation 18:16.

This refers to 'Babel' by which the profanation of good is meant, 1182, 1283, 1295, 1304, 1306-1308, 1321, 1322, 1326, in this case the profanation both of good and of truth, which is 'Babylonian'. Among the Prophets in the Old Testament 'Babel' describes the profanation of good and 'Chaldea' the profanation of truth.

[7] In the contrary sense 'scarlet' means the evil that is the contrary of spiritual good, as in Isaiah,

Though your sins are like scarlet, they will be white as snow. Though they are red as crimson, 3 they will be as wool. Isaiah 1:18.

The reason 'scarlet' means this evil is that 'blood', likewise, because of its red colour, in the genuine sense means spiritual good or charity towards the neighbour, and in the contrary sense violence done to charity, 374, 1005.

1 "Bring Aaron your brother, and his sons with him, near to you from among the children of Israel, that he may minister to me in the priest's office, even Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron's sons.

2 You shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother, for glory and for beauty.

3 You shall speak to all who are wise-hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they make Aaron's garments to sanctify him, that he may minister to me in the priest's office.

4 These are the garments which they shall make: a breastplate, and an ephod, and a robe, and a coat of checker work, a turban, and a sash: and they shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother, and his sons, that he may minister to me in the priest's office.

5 They shall take the gold, and the blue, and the purple, and the scarlet, and the fine linen.

6 "They shall make the ephod of gold, of blue, and purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of the skillful workman.

7 It shall have two shoulder straps joined to the two ends of it, that it may be joined together.

8 The skillfully woven band, which is on it, that is on him, shall be like its work and of the same piece; of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.

9 You shall take two onyx stones, and engrave on them the names of the children of Israel:

10 six of their names on the one stone, and the names of the six that remain on the other stone, in the order of their birth.

11 With the work of an engraver in stone, like the engravings of a signet, you shall engrave the two stones, according to the names of the children of Israel: you shall make them to be enclosed in settings of gold.

12 You shall put the two stones on the shoulder straps of the ephod, to be stones of memorial for the children of Israel: and Aaron shall bear their names before Yahweh on his two shoulders for a memorial.

13 You shall make settings of gold,

14 and two chains of pure gold; you shall make them like cords of braided work: and you shall put the braided chains on the settings.

15 "You shall make a breastplate of judgment, the work of the skillful workman; like the work of the ephod you shall make it; of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, you shall make it.

16 It shall be square and folded double; a span shall be its length of it, and a span its breadth.

17 You shall set in it settings of stones, four rows of stones: a row of ruby, topaz, and beryl shall be the first row;

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

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

20 and the fourth row a chrysolite, an onyx, and a jasper: they shall be enclosed in gold in their settings.

21 The stones shall be 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, they shall be for the twelve tribes.

22 You shall make on the breastplate chains like cords, of braided work of pure gold.

23 You shall make on the breastplate two rings of gold, and shall put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.

24 You shall put the two braided chains of gold in the two rings at the ends of the breastplate.

25 The other two ends of the two braided chains you shall put on the two settings, and put them on the shoulder straps of the ephod in its forepart.

26 You shall make two rings of gold, and you shall put them on the two ends of the breastplate, on its edge, which is toward the side of the ephod inward.

27 You shall make two rings of gold, and shall put them on the two shoulder straps of the ephod underneath, in its forepart, close by its coupling, above the skillfully woven band of the ephod.

28 They shall bind the breastplate by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it may be on the skillfully woven band of the ephod, and that the breastplate may not swing out from the ephod.

29 Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel in the breastplate of judgment on his heart, when he goes in to the holy place, for a memorial before Yahweh continually.

30 You shall put in the breastplate of judgment the Urim and the Thummim; and they shall be on Aaron's heart, when he goes in before Yahweh: and Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel on his heart before Yahweh continually.

31 "You shall make the robe of the ephod all of blue.

32 It shall have a hole for the head in its midst: it shall have a binding of woven work around its hole, as it were the hole of a coat of mail, that it not be torn.

33 On its hem you shall make pomegranates of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, around its hem; and bells of gold between and around them:

34 a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, around the hem of the robe.

35 It shall be on Aaron to minister: and its sound shall be heard when he goes in to the holy place before Yahweh, and when he comes out, that he not die.

36 "You shall make a plate of pure gold, and engrave on it, like the engravings of a signet, 'HOLY TO YAHWEH.'

37 You shall put it on a lace of blue, and it shall be on the sash; on the front of the sash it shall be.

38 It shall be on Aaron's forehead, and Aaron shall bear the iniquity of the holy things, which the children of Israel shall make holy in all their holy gifts; and it shall be always on his forehead, that they may be accepted before Yahweh.

39 You shall weave the coat in checker work of fine linen, and you shall make a turban of fine linen, and you shall make a sash, the work of the embroiderer.

40 "You shall make coats for Aaron's sons, and you shall make sashes for them and you shall make headbands for them, for glory and for beauty.

41 You shall put them on Aaron your brother, and on his sons with him, and shall anoint them, and consecrate them, and sanctify them, that they may minister to me in the priest's office.

42 You shall make them linen breeches to cover the flesh of their nakedness; from the waist even to the thighs they shall reach:

43 They shall be on Aaron, and on his sons, when they go in to the Tent of Meeting, or when they come near to the altar to minister in the holy place; that they don't bear iniquity, and die: it shall be a statute forever to him and to his descendants after him.
