1 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens :

2 Loquere filiis Israël, ut tollant mihi primitias : ab omni homine qui offeret ultroneus, accipietis eas.

3 Hæc sunt autem quæ accipere debeatis : aurum, et argentum, et æs,

4 hyacinthum et purpuram, coccumque bis tinctum, et byssum, pilos caprarum,

5 et pelles arietum rubricatas, pellesque janthinas, et ligna setim :

6 oleum ad luminaria concinnanda : aromata in unguentum, et thymiamata boni odoris :

7 lapides onychinos, et gemmas ad ornandum ephod, ac rationale.

8 Facientque mihi sanctuarium, et habitabo in medio eorum :

9 juxta omnem similitudinem tabernaculi quod ostendam tibi, et omnium vasorum in cultum ejus. Sicque facietis illud :

10 arcam de lignis setim compingite, cujus longitudo habeat duos et semis cubitos : latitudo, cubitum et dimidium : altitudo, cubitum similiter ac semissem.

11 Et deaurabis eam auro mundissimo intus et foris : faciesque supra, coronam auream per circuitum :

12 et quatuor circulos aureos, quos pones per quatuor arcæ angulos : duo circuli sint in latere uno, et duo in altero.

13 Facies quoque vectes de lignis setim, et operies eos auro.

14 Inducesque per circulos qui sunt in arcæ lateribus, ut portetur in eis :

15 qui semper erunt in circulis, nec umquam extrahentur ab eis.

16 Ponesque in arca testificationem quam dabo tibi.

17 Facies et propitiatorium de auro mundissimo : duos cubitos et dimidium tenebit longitudo ejus, et cubitum ac semissem latitudo.

18 Duos quoque cherubim aureos et productiles facies, ex utraque parte oraculi.

19 Cherub unus sit in latere uno, et alter in altero.

20 Utrumque latus propitiatorii tegant expandentes alas, et operientes oraculum, respiciantque se mutuo versis vultibus in propitiatorium quo operienda est arca,

21 in qua pones testimonium quod dabo tibi.

22 Inde præcipiam, et loquar ad te supra propitiatorium, ac de medio duorum cherubim, qui erunt super arcam testimonii, cuncta quæ mandabo per te filiis Israël.

23 Facies et mensam de lignis setim, habentem duos cubitos longitudinis, et in latitudine cubitum, et in altitudine cubitum et semissem.

24 Et inaurabis eam auro purissimo : faciesque illi labium aureum per circuitum,

25 et ipsi labio coronam interrasilem altam quatuor digitis : et super illam, alteram coronam aureolam.

26 Quatuor quoque circulos aureos præparabis, et pones eis in quatuor angulis ejusdem mensæ per singulos pedes.

27 Subter coronam erunt circuli aurei, ut mittantur vectes per eos, et possit mensa portari.

28 Ipsos quoque vectes facies de lignis setim, et circumdabis auro ad subvehendam mensam.

29 Parabis et acetabula, ac phialas, thuribula, et cyathos, in quibus offerenda sunt libamina, ex auro purissimo.

30 Et pones super mensam panes propositionis in conspectu meo semper.

31 Facies et candelabrum ductile de auro mundissimo, hastile ejus, et calamos, scyphos, et sphærulas, ac lilia ex ipso procedentia.

32 Sex calami egredientur de lateribus, tres ex uno latere, et tres ex altero.

33 Tres scyphi quasi in nucis modum per calamos singulos, sphærulaque simul, et lilium : et tres similiter scyphi instar nucis in calamo altero, sphærulaque simul et lilium. Hoc erit opus sex calamorum, qui producendi sunt de hastili :

34 in ipso autem candelabro erunt quatuor scyphi in nucis modum, sphærulæque per singulos, et lilia.

35 Sphærulæ sub duobus calamis per tria loca, qui simul sex fiunt procedentes de hastili uno.

36 Et sphærulæ igitur et calami ex ipso erunt, universa ductilia de auro purissimo.

37 Facies et lucernas septem, et pones eas super candelabrum, ut luceant ex adverso.

38 Emunctoria quoque, et ubi quæ emuncta sunt extinguantur, fiant de auro purissimo.

39 Omne pondus candelabri cum universis vasis suis habebit talentum auri purissimi.

40 Inspice, et fac secundum exemplar quod tibi in monte monstratum est.

648. As for numbers and measurements in the Word meaning celestial and spiritual things, this becomes quite clear from the measuring of the New Jerusalem and of the Temple in John and Ezekiel. It may become clear to anyone that the 'New Jerusalem' and the 'New Temple' mean the Lord's kingdom in heaven and on earth, and that the Lord's kingdom in heaven and on earth is not subject to earthly measurements, even though the size of it - its length, breadth, and height - is specified numerically. From this anyone may conclude that numbers and measurements mean things that are holy, as in John,

I was given a measuring rod like a staff, and the angel stood and said to me, Rise and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and those who worship in it. Revelation 11:1.

And concerning the New Jerusalem,

The wall of the heavenly Jerusalem was great and high, having twelve gates, and above the gates twelve angels, and names written which are those of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel; on the east three gates, on the north three gates, on the south three gates, and on the west three gates. The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them the twelve names of the apostles of the Lamb. He who talked to me had a golden measuring-rod to measure the city, and its gates, and its wall. The city lies four-square, and its length is the same as its breadth. He therefore measured the city with the measuring rod, twelve thousand stadia; its length and breadth and height were equal. He measured its wall, a hundred and forty-four cubits, which is the measure of a man, that is, of an angel. Revelation 21:12-17.

[2] Here the number twelve occurs repeatedly. It is a very holy number since it means the holy things of faith, as has been stated above at verse 3 of this chapter, and in the Lord's Divine mercy will be shown at Genesis 29, 30. Hence also the comment added at the end of the quotation set out above about this measure being 'the measure of a man, that is, of an angel'. The same applies with the New Temple and the New Jerusalem in Ezekiel, which are also described according to their measurements, Chapter 40:3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13-14, 22, 25, 30, 36, 42, 47; Ezekiel 41:1-end; 42:5-15; Zechariah 2:1-2. There also, regarded in themselves the numbers mean nothing but celestial and spiritual holiness independent of actual numbers. The same applies to all the numbers giving the dimensions of the Ark, Exodus 25:10, and similarly of the mercy seat, the golden table, the Tabernacle, the altar, Exodus 25:17, 23; Exodus 26; 27:1; and to all the numbers and dimensions of the Temple, 1 Kings 6:2-3, and many other examples.
