Exodo 25

Дослідження

   

1 At ang Panginoon ay nagsalita kay Moises, na sinasabi,

2 Salitain mo sa mga anak ni Israel, na sila'y magdala sa akin ng isang handog: ang bawa't tao na maganyak ang puso sa kagandahang loob ay kukunan ninyo ng handog sa akin.

3 At ito ang handog na inyong kukunin sa kanila; ginto, at pilak, at tanso;

4 At kayong bughaw, kulay-ube, at pula, at lino at balahibo ng kambing;

5 At mga balat ng lalaking tupa na tinina sa pula, at mga balat ng poka, at kahoy na akasia;

6 Langis sa ilawan, mga espesia sa langis na pangpahid, at sa mabangong pangsuob;

7 Mga batong onix, at mga batong pangkalupkop sa efod, at sa pektoral.

8 At kanilang igawa ako ng isang santuario; upang ako'y makatahan sa gitna nila.

9 Ayon sa lahat ng aking ipinakita sa iyo, sa anyo ng tabernakulo at sa anyo ng lahat ng kasangkapan niyaon ay gayon ninyo gagawin.

10 At sila'y gagawa ng isang kaban na kahoy na akasia: na may dalawang siko't kalahati ang haba niyaon, at may isang siko't kalahati ang luwang niyaon, at may isang siko't kalahati ang taas niyaon.

11 At iyong babalutin ng taganas na ginto; sa loob at sa labas ay iyong babalutin, at igagawa mo sa ibabaw ng isang kornisa sa palibot.

12 At ipagbububo mo ng apat na argolyang ginto, at ipaglalagay mo sa apat na paa niyaon, at dalawang argolya ang mapapasa isang tagiliran niyaon, at dalawang argolya sa kabilang tagiliran niyaon.

13 At gagawa ka ng mga pingga na kahoy na akasia at iyong babalutin ng ginto.

14 At iyong isusuot ang mga pingga sa loob ng mga argolya, sa mga tagiliran ng kaban, upang mabuhat ang kaban.

15 Ang mga pingga ay masusuot sa loob ng mga argolya ng kaban: hindi aalisin doon.

16 At iyong isisilid sa kaban ang mga kinalalagdaan ng patotoo na aking ibibigay sa iyo.

17 At gagawa ka ng isang luklukan ng awa, na taganas na ginto: na may dalawang siko't kalahati ang haba niyaon, at may isang siko't kalahati ang luwang niyaon.

18 At gagawa ka ng dalawang querubing ginto; na yari sa pamukpok iyong gagawin, sa dalawang dulo ng luklukan ng awa.

19 At gawin mo ang isang querubin sa isang dulo, at ang isang querubin sa kabilang dulo: kaputol ng luklukan ng awa, gagawin mo ang mga querubin sa dalawang dulo niyaon.

20 At ibubuka ng mga querubin ang kanilang pakpak na paitaas, na nilililiman ang luklukan ng awa, ng kanilang mga pakpak, na ang kanilang mukha ay nagkakaharap, sa dakong luklukan ng awa ihaharap ang mga mukha ng mga querubin.

21 At iyong ilalagay ang luklukan ng awa sa ibabaw ng kaban; at sa loob ng kaban, ay iyong ilalagay ang mga kinalalagdaan ng patotoo, na aking ibibigay sa iyo.

22 At diya'y makikipagkita ako sa iyo, at makikipanayam sa iyo mula sa ibabaw ng luklukan ng awa, sa gitna ng dalawang querubin na nangasa ibabaw ng kaban ng patotoo, tungkol sa lahat ng mga bagay na ibibigay ko sa iyong utos sa mga anak ni Israel.

23 At gagawa ka ng isang dulang na kahoy na akasia: na may dalawang siko ang haba niyaon, at isang siko ang luwang niyaon, at isang siko't kalahati ang taas niyaon.

24 At iyong babalutin ng taganas na ginto, at igagawa mo ng isang kornisang ginto sa palibot.

25 At igagawa mo ng isang gilid na may isang palad ng kamay ang luwang sa palibot, at igagawa mo ng isang kornisang ginto ang palibot ng gilid niyaon.

26 At igagawa mo ng apat na argolyang ginto, at ilalagay mo ang mga argolya sa apat na sulok na ukol sa apat na paa niyaon.

27 Malalapit sa gilid ang mga argolya, sa daraanan ng mga pingga, upang madala ang dulang.

28 At gagawin mo ang mga pingga na kahoy na akasia, at iyong babalutin ng ginto, upang ang dulang ay madala ng mga yaon.

29 At gagawa ka ng mga pinggan niyaon, at ng mga kutsara niyaon, at ng mga kopa niyaon, at ng mga tasa niyaon na pagbubuhusan; na iyong gagawing taganas na ginto.

30 At ilalagay mo sa dulang ang tinapay na handog sa harap ko na palagi.

31 At gagawa ka ng isang kandelerong taganas na ginto: yari sa pamukpok gagawin mo ang kandelero, ang tuntungan niyaon, at ang haligi niyaon; ang mga kopa niyaon, ang mga globito niyaon at ang mga bulaklak niyaon ay mga kaputol:

32 At magkakaroon ng anim na sangang lumalabas sa mga tagiliran niyaon; tatlong sanga ng kandelero'y sa isang tagiliran niyaon, at ang tatlong sanga ng kandelero ay sa kabilang tagiliran niyaon:

33 At magkakaroon ng tatlong kopang anyong bulaklak ng almendro sa isang sanga, isang globito at isang bulaklak; at tatlong kopang anyong bulaklak ng almendro sa kabilang sanga, isang globito at isang bulaklak; at gayon sa anim na sangang lumalabas sa kandelero.

34 At sa haligi ng kandelero'y magkakaroon ng apat na kopang anyong bulaklak ng almendro, sangpu ng mga globito niyaon, at ng mga bulaklak niyaon:

35 At magkakaroon ng isang globito sa ilalim ng dalawa sa mga sanga, at isang globito sa ilalim ng kabilang dalawa sa mga sanga na kaputol niyaon, at isang globito sa ilalim ng dalawang sangang nalalabi ayon sa anim na sanga na lumalabas sa kandelero.

36 Ang magiging mga globito at mga sanga niyaon ay kaputol: kabuoan niyaon ay isa lamang putol na yari sa pamukpok, na taganas na ginto.

37 At igagawa mo ng kaniyang mga ilawan, na pito: at kanilang sisindihan ang mga ilawan niyaon, upang lumiwanag sa dakong tapat ng kandelero.

38 At ang magiging mga gunting at mga pinggan niyaon ay taganas na ginto.

39 Isang talentong taganas na ginto gagawin, sangpu ng lahat ng kasangkapang ito.

40 At ingatan mo, na iyong gawin ayon sa anyo ng mga yaon na ipinakita sa iyo sa bundok.

9476. 'Shoham stones, and stones of fillings' means spiritual truths and forms of good in general. This is clear from the meaning of 'shoham stones' as truths of faith that spring from love, or spiritual truths since the truths of faith that spring from love are spiritual truths; and from the meaning of 'stones of fillings' as forms of the good of faith, or spiritual forms of good. The reason why forms of the good of faith are meant by 'stones of fillings' and the truths of faith by 'shoham stones' is that the stones of fillings were for the breastplate, and 'the breastplate' on the ephod meant the good of faith or spiritual good, whereas the shoham stones went on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, and by 'the shoulder-pieces of the ephod' the truths of faith or spiritual truths are meant. For the meaning of precious stones in the Word as the truths and forms of the good of faith, or spiritual truths and forms of good, see 114, 643, 3858, 6335, 6640. And since the truths and forms of the good of faith are meant by precious stones, intelligence and wisdom are also meant by them; for intelligence grows out of the truths of faith, and wisdom out of forms of the good of faith. Such is the meaning in Ezekiel,

Full of wisdom and perfect in beauty, you were in Eden, the garden of God. Every precious stone was your covering - ruby, topaz, diamond, tarshish, shoham. Ezekiel 28:12-13, 15.

This refers to the king of Tyre, by whom intelligence that grows out of cognitions or knowledge of the truth of faith is meant, 1201.

1551. That 'silver' means truths is clear from the meaning of 'silver' as truth. The most ancient people compared the goods and truths present in man to metals. Innermost or celestial goods which flow from love to the Lord they compared to gold, truths deriving from these to silver. Goods of a lower or natural kind however they compared to bronze, and truths of a lower kind to iron. Nor did they just compare them; they also called them such. This was the origin of periods of time being likened to those same metals and being called the golden, silver, bronze, and iron ages, for these followed in that order one after another. The golden age was the time of the Most Ancient Church, which was celestial man. The silver age was the time of the Ancient Church, which was spiritual man. The bronze age was the time of the Church that followed, and the iron age came after that. Similar things were also meant by the statue which Nebuchadnezzar saw in a dream, whose head was of fine gold, breast and arms of silver, belly and thighs of bronze, and shins of iron, Daniel 2:32-33. That periods of the Church were to follow one another in that order, and actually did so, is clear in that very chapter of the same prophet.

[2] That 'silver' in the internal sense of the Word wherever it is mentioned means truth, or in the contrary sense falsity, is clear from the following places: In Isaiah,

Instead of bronze I will bring gold, and instead of iron I will bring silver, and instead of wood, bronze, and instead of stones, iron. And I will make peace your assessment, and righteousness your tax-collectors. Isaiah 60:17.

Here it is evident what each metal means. The subject is the Lord's Coming, His kingdom, and the celestial Church. 'Instead of bronze, gold' is celestial good in place of natural good; 'instead of iron, silver' is spiritual truth in place of natural truth; 'instead of wood, bronze' is natural good in place of bodily good; 'instead of stone, iron' is natural truth in place of truth acquired through the senses. In the same prophet,

Ho, everyone who thirsts, come to the water, and he who has no money, 1 come, buy and eat! Isaiah 55:1.

'He who has no money' 1 is the person who does not know the truth but who nevertheless possesses the good that stems from charity, as is the case with many people inside the Church, and with gentiles outside it.

[3] In the same prophet,

The islands will wait for Me, the ships of Tarshish at their head, to bring your sons from afar, their silver and their gold with them, to the name of Jehovah your God, and to the Holy One of Israel. Isaiah 60:9.

This refers specifically to a new Church, or a Church among gentiles, and in general to the Lord's kingdom. 'Ships from Tarshish' stands for cognitions, 'silver' for truths, and 'gold' for goods, which are those things they 'will bring to the name of Jehovah'. In Ezekiel,

For your adornment you took vessels made of My gold and of My silver, which I had given you, and you made for yourselves figures of the male. Ezekiel 16:17.

Here 'gold' stands for cognitions of celestial things, 'silver' of spiritual things. In the same prophet,

You were adorned with gold and silver, and your raiment was fine linen and silk, and embroidered cloth. Ezekiel 16:13.

This refers to Jerusalem, by which the Lord's Church is meant, whose adornment is being described in this manner. In the same prophet,

Behold, you who are wise, there is no secret they have hidden from you; by your wisdom and by your intelligence you have acquired riches for yourself, and you have acquired gold and silver in your treasuries. Ezekiel 28:3-4.

Here, in what is said in reference to Tyre, 'gold' is plainly identified with the riches of wisdom, and 'silver' with the riches of intelligence.

[4] In Joel,

You have taken My silver and My gold, and My good and desirable treasures you have carried into your temples. Joel 3:5.

This refers to Tyre, Sidon, and Philistia, which mean cognitions, and these are 'the silver and the gold they took into their temples'. In Haggai,

The elect of all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory. Mine is the silver, and Mine is the gold. The glory of this latter house will be greater than that of the former. Haggai 2:7-9.

This refers to the Lord's Church to which 'gold and silver' have reference. In Malachi,

He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and He will purify the sons of Levi. Malachi 3:3.

This refers to the Coming of the Lord. In David,

The words of Jehovah are pure words, silver refined in an earthen crucible, poured seven times. Psalms 12:6.

'Silver purified seven times' stands for Divine truth. At the time of their exodus out of Egypt the children of Israel were commanded that every woman should ask of her neighbour, and of her who sojourned in her house, vessels of silver and vessels of gold and garments, and that they should put them on their sons and on their daughters, and so despoil the Egyptians, Exodus 3:22; 11:2-3; 12:35-36. Anyone may see from this that the children of Israel would never have been ordered to steal and despoil the Egyptians of those possessions in that way if these did not represent some arcana. But what those arcana are may become clear from the meaning of 'silver and gold, garments, and Egypt', and from the fact that what these possessions represented is similar to the words here 'rich in the silver and gold from Egypt', used in reference to Abram.

[5] Just as 'silver' means truth so in a contrary sense it means falsity, for people under the influence of falsity imagine falsity to be the truth, as is also clear in the Prophets. In Moses,

You shall not covet the silver and the gold of the nations, nor take it for yourself, lest you be ensnared by it, for it is an abomination to Jehovah your God. You shall utterly detest it. Deuteronomy 7:25-26.

'The gold of the nations' stands for evils, and 'their silver' for falsities. In the same author,

You shall not make gods of silver to be with Me, nor shall you make for yourselves gods of gold. Exodus 20:23.

In the internal sense these words mean nothing other than falsities and evil desires, falsities being meant by 'gods of silver', and evil desires by 'gods of gold'. In Isaiah,

On that day everyone will spurn his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your hands have made for you - a sin. Isaiah 31:7.

'Idols of silver and idols of gold' stands for similar things that are false and evil 'Which your hands have made' stands for what is a product of the proprium. In Jeremiah,

They are foolish and stupid; that wood is a way of learning vanities! Beaten silver is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the smith and of the hands of the moulder. Their clothing is violet and purple These are all the work of the wise. Jeremiah 10:8-9.

Here 'silver' and 'gold' quite clearly stand for similar things that are false and evil.
