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.

9553. 'And its flowers' means factual knowledge of truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'flowers' as factual knowledge of truth. Such knowledge is meant by 'flowers' because flowers are stages of growth which come before and in their own way lead on to fruit and seeds; for trees and young plants come into flower before they bear fruit, as is well known. The situation is similar with the intelligence and wisdom present in a person. Factual knowledge of truth comes first and in its own way leads on to the insights that constitute wisdom with the person; for that knowledge provides his rational mind with objects of thought and so the means to attain wisdom. This is why factual knowledge of truth is like the flowers, and goodness of life, which is the good of wisdom, is like the fruit. Since all realities in the spiritual world bear resemblance to such things as exist with a human being, for the reason that heaven resembles one complete human being and has a correspondence with every single aspect of the human being, therefore also all things in the natural world, according to their similarity to such things as exist with a human being, have a correspondence, a representation, and carry a spiritual meaning, 9496. From all this it now becomes clear why it is that factual knowledge of truth, and truths in general, are meant by 'flowers', and forms of good by 'the fruit' and also 'seeds'.

[2] The fact that factual knowledge of truth, and truths in general, are meant by 'flowers' is clear from the following places: In Isaiah,

Their root will be like rottenness, and their flower [will rise] like dust, because they have rejected the law of Jehovah Zebaoth, and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel. Isaiah 5:24.

In the same prophet,

Those who are to come Jacob will cause to take root. Israel will blossom and flower, so that the face of the earth (orbis) may be filled with produce. Isaiah 27:6.

In the same prophet,

Woe to the drunkards of Ephraim, and to the falling flower of glory 1 and of his beauty! Isaiah 28:1.

'The drunkards' stands for those whose reasoning is based on falsities, 1072; 'Ephraim' stands for the Church's understanding, in this instance when it has been perverted, 5354, 6222, 6234, 6238, 6267; and 'glory' stands for God's truth, 4809, 5922, 8267, 8427, 9429, from which it is evident that 'the flower' means factual knowledge through which truth comes forth. In the same prophet,

The grass withers, the flower falls; the people are grass. But the Word of our God remains forever. Isaiah 40:6-8.

In Nahum,

The flower of Lebanon languishes. Nahum 1:4.

Here also 'the flower' stands for factual knowledge serving as a means to the attainment of wisdom.

[3] In Daniel,

Nebuchadnezzar saw in a dream. Behold, a tree in the midst of the earth; its height was great, its leaf beautiful, and its flower much. Under it the beast of the field had shade, and in its branches dwelt the birds of the air; and all flesh was fed [from it]. But the Holy One from heaven crying out said, Hew down the tree, cut off its branches, get rid of its leaves, scatter its blossom. Let the beast of the field flee [from] under it, and the birds from its branches. Daniel 4:10-14.

'The tree' and 'its height' means the increase in the semblance of religion which is meant by 'Babel', a kind of religion that is holy outwardly but unholy inwardly, 1182, 1283, 1295, 1304, 1306-1308, 1321, 1322, 1326. 'Leaf' stands for factual knowledge of truth in general, 885, 'blossom' for factual knowledge of truth when it serves to lead to wisdom, but at this point when it serves to lead to stupidity since it says that they were to be scattered. 'The beast of the field' means those with affections for good, and in the contrary sense those with affections for evil, 45, 46, 142, 143, 246, 714, 715, 719, 776, 1823, 2179, 2180, 3218, 3519, 5198, 7523, 9090, 9280; but 'the birds of the air' are those with affections for truth, and in the contrary sense those with affections for falsity, 3219, 5149, 7441. This is why it says that the beast of the field dwelt under the shade of that tree, the birds of the air dwelt in its branches, and all flesh was fed [from it], and then that the beast of the field should flee [from] under it and the birds from its branches.

776. '[Every] bird according to its kind' means all spiritual truth, 'flying things' means natural truth, and 'winged thing' sensory truth. This is clear from what has been stated and shown already about birds, as in 40. The most ancient people likened man's thoughts to birds, for in relation to things of the will, thoughts are like birds. Since bird, flying thing, and winged thing are mentioned here, and come consecutively in the way that intellectual concepts, rational concepts, and sensory impressions do in man, and to prevent anyone doubting that this is what they mean, let other places from the Word of a confirmatory nature be quoted, from which as well it will be evident that 'beasts' means such things as have been stated.

[2] In David,

You have given Him dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under His feet, flocks and all cattle, and also the beasts of the fields, the flying things of the air, 1 and the fish of the sea. Psalms 8:6-8.

This refers to the Lord, whose dominion over man and over what belongs to man is described in this fashion. If this were not so, what would 'dominion over beasts and birds' really be? In the same author,

Fruit tree and all cedars, wild animal and every beast, creeping thing and flying thing - they shall glorify the name of Jehovah. Psalms 148:9-10, 13.

'Fruit tree' is the celestial man, 'cedar' the spiritual man, 'wild animal and beast and creeping thing' the goods of these kinds of man, as in the present context. 'Flying thing' is their truths from which they are able to glorify the name of Jehovah. This a wild animal, a beast, a creeping thing, or a flying thing can never do. In secular literature such statements can be used as hyperbole, but in the Word of the Lord they are never just hyperbole but meaningful signs and representatives.

[3] In Ezekiel,

They start to tremble before Me - the fish of the sea, and the birds of the air, 2 and the wild animals of the field, and every creeping thing creeping over the ground, and every man that is on the face 3 of the ground. Ezekiel 38:20.

The fact that 'beasts' and 'birds' here have such meanings is quite clear, for what would Jehovah's glory be if fish, birds, and beasts were to start to tremble? Could anyone think that such utterances are holy if they did not embody holy things within them? In Jeremiah,

I looked, and behold, there was no man; all the birds of the air 2 had fled. Jeremiah 4:15.

This stands for all good and truth. Here 'man' stands as well for good that stems from love. In the same prophet,

They have been laid waste so that no man passes through, neither do men hear the voice of the herd. From the birds of the air 2 down to beasts, they have scattered, they have gone away. Jeremiah 9:10.

This in a similar way stands for the departure of all truth and good.

[4] In the same prophet,

How long will the land mourn and the grass of every field wither? For the wickedness of those who dwell in it, the beasts and the birds have perished, for men said, He will not see our latter end. Jeremiah 11:4.

Here 'beasts' stands for goods, and 'birds' for truths, which perished. In Zephaniah,

I will consume man and beast, I will consume the birds of the air 2 and the fish of the sea, and the stumbling-blocks with the wicked; and I will cut off mankind from the face 4 of the ground. Zephaniah 1:3.

Here 'man and beast' stands for the things which belong to love and good deriving from love, 'the birds of the air 2 and the fish of the sea' for those which belong to the understanding and so to truth. These are called 'stumbling-blocks' because for wicked people it is goods and truths, not beasts and birds, that are stumbling-blocks. These are also plainly referred to as man's. In David,

The trees of Jehovah are watered abundantly, and the cedars of Lebanon which He planted. In them flying things build their nests. Psalms 104:16-17.

'The trees of Jehovah and the cedars of Lebanon' stands for spiritual man, 'flying things' for his rational or natural truths which are like 'nests'. What is more, 'the birds build nests in the branches' was a common saying by which people meant truths, as in Ezekiel,

[5] On the mountain height of Israel I will plant it, and it will bring forth a branch, and bear fruit, and it will become a noble cedar, and under it will dwell every flying thing of every sort, 5 in the shade of its branches they will dwell. Ezekiel 17:23.

This stands for the Church among gentiles which was spiritual and which is 'a noble cedar'. 'Birds of every sort' 5 stands for truths of every kind. In the same prophet,

In its branches all the birds of the air 2 made their nests, and under its branches every wild animal of the field gave birth, and in its shadow dwelt all great nations. Ezekiel 31:6.

This refers to Asshur, which is the spiritual Church and is called 'a cedar'. 'Birds of the air' 2 stands for its truths, 'beasts' for its goods.

[6] In Daniel,

Its branch was fair, and its fruit much, and food for all was on it. The beast of the field had shade under it, and in its branches dwelt the flying things of the air' 1 Daniel 4:12, 11.

Here 'beast' stands for goods, and 'flying thing of the air' 1 for truths. This may become clear to anyone, for what else would bird and beast dwelling there really be? The same applies to what the Lord said, The kingdom of God is like a grain of mustard seed, which someone took and sowed in his garden, and it grew and became a big tree so that the birds of the air 1 dwelt in its branches. Luke 13:19; Matthew 13:32; Mark 4:32.
