Exodo 28

pag-aaral

   

1 At ilapit mo sa iyo si Aarong iyong kapatid at ang kaniyang mga anak na kasama niya, mula sa gitna ng mga anak ni Israel, upang makapangasiwa sa akin sa katungkulang saserdote, si Aaron, si Nadab at si Abiu, si Eleazar at si Ithamar, na mga anak ni Aaron.

2 At igagawa mo ng mga banal na kasuutan si Aarong iyong kapatid sa ikaluluwalhati at ikagaganda.

3 At iyong sasalitain sa lahat ng matalino, na aking pinagpupuspos ng diwa ng karunungan, na kanilang gawin ang kasuutan ni Aaron, upang siya'y italaga, na siya'y makapangasiwa sa akin sa katungkulang saserdote.

4 At ito ang mga kasuutang kanilang gagawin; isang pektoral, at isang epod, at isang balabal, at isang tunika na tinahing guhitguhit na naaanyong pariparisukat, isang mitra at isang pamigkis: at kanilang igagawa ng mga banal na kasuutan si Aarong iyong kapatid, at ang kaniyang mga anak, upang makapangasiwa sa akin sa katungkulang saserdote.

5 At kukuha sila ng ginto, at ng kayong bughaw, at ng kulay-ube, at ng pula, at ng lino.

6 At kanilang gagawin ang epod na ginto, at kayong bughaw, at kulay-ube, pula, at linong pinili, na yari ng bihasang mangbuburda.

7 Magkakaroon ng dalawang pangbalikat na nagkakasugpong sa dalawang dulo niyaon; upang magkasugpong.

8 At ang mainam na pagkayaring pamigkis na nasa ibabaw ng epod upang ibigkis, ay gagawing gaya ng pagkayari ng epod at kaputol, na ginto, kayong bughaw, at kulay-ube, at pula, at linong pinili.

9 At kukuha ka ng dalawang batong onix, at iyong iuukit na limbag sa ibabaw ng mga yaon ang mga pangalan ng mga anak ni Israel:

10 Anim sa kanilang mga pangalan ay sa isang bato, at ang mga pangalan ng anim na natitira ay sa isang bato, ayon sa kanilang kapanganakan.

11 Nayari ng manguukit sa bato, na gaya ng ukit ng isang panatak, iyong iuukit sa dalawang bato, ayon sa mga pangalan ng mga anak ni Israel: iyong gagawing napamumutihan ng mga kalupkop na ginto.

12 At iyong ilalagay ang dalawang bato sa ibabaw ng pangbalikat ng epod, upang maging mga batong pinakaalaala sa ikagagaling ng mga anak ni Israel: at papasanin ni Aaron ang kanilang mga pangalan sa harap ng Panginoon, sa ibabaw ng kaniyang dalawang balikat, na pinakaalaala.

13 At gagawa ka ng mga kalupkop na ginto:

14 At ng dalawang tanikalang taganas na ginto; parang pisi iyong gagawin na yaring pinili: at iyong ilalapat sa mga kalupkop ang mga tanikalang pinili.

15 At gagawin mo ang pektoral ng kahatulan, na gawa ng bihasang manggagawa; na gaya ng pagkayari ng epod iyong gagawin; gagawin mo na ginto, na bughaw, at kulay-ube, at pula, at linong pinili.

16 Gagawing parisukat at nakatiklop; isang dangkal magkakaroon ang haba niyaon, at isang dangkal ang luwang niyaon.

17 At iyong kakalupkupan ng mga kalupkop na mga bato, apat na hanay na bato: isang hanay na sardio, topacio, at karbungko ang magiging unang hanay;

18 At ang ikalawang hanay, ay isang esmeralda, isang zapiro, at isang diamante;

19 At ang ikatlong hanay ay isang hasinto, isang agata, at isang amatista;

20 At ang ikaapat na hanay ay isang berilo, isang onix, at isang haspe: pawang pamumutihan ng ginto sa kanilang mga kalupkop.

21 At ang mga bato ay iaayos sa mga pangalan ng mga anak ni Israel; labingdalawa, ayon sa mga pangalan nila; gaya ng ukit ng isang panatak, bawa't isa'y ayon sa kanilang pangalan, na magiging ukol sa labing dalawang lipi.

22 At gagawa ka sa ibabaw ng pektoral ng mga tanikalang parang pisi, yaring pinili, na taganas na ginto.

23 At igagawa mo ang ibabaw ng pektoral ng dalawang singsing na ginto, at ilalagay mo ang dalawang singsing sa dalawang sulok ng itaas ng pektoral.

24 At inyong ilalagay ang dalawang pinising tanikalang ginto sa dalawang singsing sa mga sulok ng pektoral.

25 At ang dalawang dulo ng dalawang tanikala ng pinili ay iyong ilalapat sa dalawang kalupkop, at iyong mga ilalagay sa mga pangbalikat ng epod, sa harapan.

26 At gagawa ka ng dalawang singsing na ginto, at mga ilalagay mo sa dalawang sulok ng pektoral sa laylayan niyaon na nasa dakong kabaligtaran ng epod.

27 At gagawa ka ng dalawang singsing na ginto, at iyong mga ikakapit sa dalawang pangbalikat ng epod, sa dakong ibaba, sa harapan, na malapit sa pagkakasugpong sa ibabaw ng mainam na pagkayaring pamigkis ng epod.

28 At kanilang itatali ang pektoral sa pamamagitan ng mga singsing niyaon sa mga singsing ng epod ng isang taling bughaw, upang mamalagi sa ibabaw ng mainam na pagkayaring pamigkis ng epod, at upang ang pektoral ay huwag makalag sa epod.

29 At dadalhin ni Aaron sa kaniyang sinapupunan ang mga pangalan ng mga anak ni Israel na nasa pektoral ng kahatulan pagka siya'y pumapasok sa dakong banal, na pinakaalaala sa harap ng Panginoon, na palagi.

30 At ilalagay mo sa pektoral ng kahatulan ang Urim at ang Tummim at mga ilalagay sa sinapupunan ni Aaron, pagka siya'y pumapasok sa harap ng Panginoon at dadalhing palagi ni Aaron sa harap ng Panginoon ang kahatulan sa mga anak ni Israel na nasa kaniyang sinapupunan.

31 At gagawin mo ang balabal ng epod na taganas na bughaw.

32 At magkakaroon ng isang pinakaleeg sa gitna niyaon: magkakaroon ito ng isang uriang tinahi sa palibot ng pinakaleeg, gaya ng butas ng isang koselete, upang huwag mapunit.

33 At ang saya niyaon ay igagawa mo ng mga granadang bughaw, at kulay-ube, at pula, sa palibot ng saya niyaon; at ng mga kampanilyang ginto sa gitna ng mga yaon sa palibot:

34 Isang kampanilyang ginto at isang granada, isang kampanilyang ginto at isang granada sa saya sa ibaba ng balabal sa palibot.

35 At isusuot ni Aaron upang mangasiwa: at ang tunog niyao'y maririnig pagka siya'y pumapasok sa dakong banal sa harap ng Panginoon, at pagka siya'y lumalabas, upang siya'y huwag mamatay.

36 At gagawa ka ng isang laminang taganas na ginto, at doo'y isusulat mong ukit na ayon sa ukit ng isang panatak, Banal sa Panginoon.

37 At iyong ilalagay sa isang listong bughaw, at malalagay sa ibabaw ng mitra; sa ibabaw ng harapan ng mitra malalagay.

38 At malalagay sa noo ni Aaron, at dadalhin ni Aaron ang kasamaan ng mga banal na bagay, na pakakabanalin ng mga anak ni Israel sa lahat nilang mga banal na kaloob; at malalagay na palagi sa kaniyang noo, upang tanggapin sa harap ng Panginoon.

39 At iyong hahabihin ang kasuutan na anyong parisukat, na lino, at iyong gagawin ang mitra na lino, at iyong gagawin ang pamigkis na yari ng mangbuburda.

40 At iyong igagawa ang mga anak ni Aaron ng mga kasuutan, at iyong igagawa sila ng mga pamigkis, at iyong igagawa sila ng mga tiara sa ikaluluwalhati at ikagaganda.

41 At iyong isusuot kay Aarong iyong kapatid at sa kaniyang mga anak na kasama niya; at iyong papahiran ng langis sila, at iyong itatalaga sila, at iyong papagbanalin sila, upang sila'y makapangasiwa sa akin, sa katungkulang saserdote.

42 At iyong igagawa sila ng mga salawal na lino, upang takpan ang laman ng kanilang kahubaran; mula sa mga balakang hanggang sa mga hita aabot.

43 At isusuot ni Aaron at ng kaniyang mga anak, pagka sila'y pumapasok sa tabernakulo ng kapisanan, o pagka sila'y lumalapit sa dambana upang mangasiwa sa dakong banal; upang sila'y huwag magdala ng kasamaan, at huwag mamatay: magiging isang palatuntunang walang hanggan sa kaniya at sa kaniyang binhi pagkamatay niya.

9921. And bells of gold. That this signifies all things of doctrine and of worship from good passing over to those who are of the church, is evident from the signification of “bells,” as being all things of doctrine and of worship passing over to those who are of the church (of which below); that they are from good is signified by their being of gold, for “gold” signifies good (see n. 113, 1551, 1552, 5658, 6914, 6917, 8932, 9490, 9510, 9874, 9881, 9884). That “the bells” denote all things of doctrine and of worship passing over to those who are of the church, is because by means of the bells the people heard and perceived the presence of Aaron in his ministration, for by “the people” are signified those who are of the church, and by “Aaron’s ministry” are signified all things of doctrine and of worship; and therefore it is said in what follows:

And they shall be upon Aaron to minister; and the voice thereof shall be heard when he goeth in unto the holiness before Jehovah, and when be cometh out (Exodus 28:35);

from which it is plain what is signified by “the bells.” The reason why these bells were put in the skirts, was that the holy things of doctrine are in the extremes, and the hearing and perception are there, and are from thence (see n. 9824, 9905).

Arcana Coelestia # 6914

6914. And I will give this people favor in the eyes of the Egyptians. That this signifies the fear of those who are in falsities before those who are of the spiritual church, by reason of the plagues, is evident from the signification of “giving favor,” as being fear by reason of plagues (of which below); from the representation of the sons of Israel, who are here “the people,” as being those who are of the spiritual church (see n. 6637); and from the representation of the Egyptians, as being those who are in falsities (of which frequently above). That “to give favor in the eyes of the Egyptians” signifies fear by reason of plagues with those who are in falsities, is evident from the meaning of the things in the internal sense, for those who are in falsities are treated of, who are signified by the “Egyptians,” in that truths and goods were to be taken away from them, and to be transferred to those who are of the spiritual church; and as those who are in falsities are treated of, by “favor” is not meant favor, for they who are in falsities and evils never have any favor for anyone; but if they benefit anyone, or do not injure him, it is from fear of plagues; this is the source of their favor, and this is the “favor” which is here meant in the internal sense. The internal sense sets forth things such as they are, not such as they are presented in the letter; and applies each to the subject. That this is so, is plain also from what follows concerning the Egyptians, in that they did not let the sons of Israel go from any favor, but from fear on account of further plagues (Exodus 11:1; 12:33).

[2] As the spoiling of the Egyptians is treated of in these two verses by the women of Israel asking from the Egyptian women silver, gold, and garments, and as it cannot possibly be known how this is, except from revelation about the things that take place in the other life, for the internal sense involves such things as take place among angels and spirits, therefore it shall be told. That before the Lord’s coming the lower part of heaven was occupied by evil genii and spirits, and that they were afterward expelled thence and that region given to those of the spiritual church, may be seen above (n. 6858). So long as the evil genii and spirits were there, they were under the continual view of the angels of the higher heaven, and by this they were restrained from doing evils openly. At this day also some who are more deceitful than others, because they deceive by a pretence of innocence and charity, are under the view of the celestials, and so long as this is the case they are withheld from their wicked arts. They are directly above the head, and the celestial angels, under whose view they are, are still higher. From this it has been given me to know what was the state of the evil genii and spirits who before the coming of the Lord occupied the lower region of heaven, namely, that at that time they were withheld by the angels of the higher heaven from doing evils openly.

[3] But in what manner they were withheld from doing evils openly, it has also been given me to know. They were kept in external bonds, namely, in fear of the loss of honor and reputation, and in fear of the deprivation of possessions in that region of heaven, and of being thrust down into hell; and then there were joined to them simple good spirits; as is the case with men in the world, who, though inwardly devils, are nevertheless kept by such external bonds in the pretence of what is honorable and just, and in well-doing; and in order that they may be so kept, there are joined to them spirits who are in simple good. This was the case with the evil who were in the lower region of heaven before the coming of the Lord; and then they also could be driven to speak truth and to do good by means of their own loves; no otherwise than evil priests, even the worst, who are devils inwardly, who can preach the doctrinal things of their own church with such ardor and pretended zeal as to move the hearts of their hearers to piety, and yet at the same time they are in the love of self and of the world. For thought about honor and gain is what universally reigns within them, and from this fire they are stirred up so to preach. It is the evil spirits with whom they are, and who are in similar love, and thence in similar thought, who lead them; and to these are joined simple good spirits. From all this it can be seen what the state of heaven was before the Lord’s coming.

[4] But after His coming the states of heaven and of hell were quite changed, for then the evil genii and spirits who occupied the lower region of heaven were cast down, and in their stead they who were of the spiritual church were taken up thither. The evil who were cast down were then deprived of the external bonds which as before said were fears of the loss of honor and reputation, and of the losing of possessions in that region; and in this way they were left to their interiors, which were no other than diabolical and infernal, and so they were consigned to the hells. The taking away of external bonds is effected in the other life by the removal of the good spirits who had been joined to the evil ones. When these are removed, the infernals can no longer be in any pretence of what is good, just, and honorable, but are such as they had been inwardly in the world, that is, such as they had been in thought and will, which they had there concealed from others; and then they desire nothing else than to do evil. These simple good spirits who were taken away from them, were given or joined to those who were of the spiritual church, to whom that region of heaven was given for a possession; and it was from this that these latter were enriched with the truths and goods which were before in the possession of the evil genii and spirits; for enrichment in truths and goods in the other life is effected by the adjoining of spirits who are in truth and good, because through these is effected communication.

[5] This is what is signified by the sons of Israel not going empty from Egypt, and by a woman asking of her neighbor, and of her that sojourned in her house, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and thus spoiling the Egyptians. Everyone can see that unless such things had been represented, the Divine would never have commanded that the sons of Israel should use such guile against the Egyptians; for every such thing is very far from the Divine. But as the Israelitish people was altogether representative, it was permitted them by the Divine to do so, because it was so done with the evil in the other life. Be it known that very many things which were commanded by Jehovah or the Lord, in the internal sense do not signify that they were commanded, but that they were permitted.
