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.

9429. 'And the glory of Jehovah lay over Mount Sinai' means the more internal levels of the Lord's Word in heaven. This is clear from the meaning of 'the glory of Jehovah', when the Word is the subject, as its inward sense, thus the more internal levels of the Word, dealt with in the Preface to Genesis 18, and in 5922; and from the meaning of 'Mount Sinai' as Divine Truth emanating from the Lord, and consequently as heaven, dealt with above in 9420, 9427. The reason why the more internal levels of the Word are called 'the glory' is that Divine Truth emanating from the Lord as the Sun composes the light in heaven, which enables the angels there to see with their eyes and at the same time gives them intelligence and wisdom, 1531, 1619-1632, 2776, 3138, 3167, 3190, 3195, 3339, 3341, 3636, 3643, 3862, 3993, 4302, 4415, 4527, 5400, 6313, 6608, 6907, 8644, 8707, 8861. This Divine light is the source of all the glory in heaven, whose brightness is such that it exceeds all human imagination. From this it is evident why the inward sense of the Word is 'the glory'; for the inward sense of the Word is the Divine Truth emanating from the Lord in heaven, and so it is the light which is the source of all the glory there.

[2] This is what 'glory' is used to mean in a large number of places in the Word, such as where it says that they would see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with glory, Matthew 24:30; Luke 21:27; that the Lord, after He had suffered would enter into His glory, Luke 24:26; that when He came in His glory He would sit on the throne of His glory, Matthew 25:31, 'sitting on the throne of glory' meaning judging with Divine Truth that comes from Him; and that Moses and Elijah appeared in glory, Luke 9:30-31, 'Moses and Elijah' there being the Word, see Preface to Genesis 18, and 2762, 5247, 9372. It is also what the Lord's 'being glorified' is used to mean in John,

Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in Him. If God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and will glorify Him at once. John 13:31-32.

'Being glorified in God' means becoming Divine Good from which Divine Truth springs. Something similar appears in John 12:28.

[3] Divine Truth emanating from the Lord as it exists in heaven is meant by 'the glory' in the following places as well: In Isaiah,

The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of Jehovah. And the glory of Jehovah will be revealed, and all flesh will see it together. Isaiah 40:3, 5.

These are words referring to the Coming of the Lord, in which 'the glory of Jehovah' that will be revealed is Divine Truth. The Lord is that Truth because it comes from Him, as is evident in John,

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. He was the true light. And the Word became flesh; and we saw His glory, glory as of the Only Begotten from the Father. John 1:1, 4, 9, 14.

'The Word' here is Divine Truth, and so is 'the light', from which it is evident what 'seeing His glory' means. The Lord, as is well known, did not appear in any glory in the world, apart from when He was transfigured.

[4] 'The glory' has the same meaning elsewhere in John,

These things Isaiah said when he saw His glory and spoke of Him. But they delighted in the glory of men more than in the glory of God. I have come as light into the world in order that everyone who believes in Me may not remain in darkness. John 12:41, 43, 46.

Here also 'the Lord's glory' and 'the glory of God' stand for Divine Truth, while 'the glory of men' stands for falsity. In Isaiah,

Shine, for your light has come, and the glory of Jehovah has risen upon you. Jehovah will arise upon you, and His glory will be seen over you. The glory of Lebanon will come to you to beautify the place of My sanctuary. Your sun will no longer go down and your moon will not be withdrawn, for Jehovah will be to you an everlasting light. Isaiah 60:1-end.

This plainly refers to the Coming of the Lord, His kingdom, heaven, and the Church. Divine Truth emanating from His Divine Human is described in the whole of that chapter, where it is called light, honour, and glory.

[5] In the same prophet,

They will fear the name of Jehovah from the setting of the sun, and His glory from the rising of the sun. The Redeemer will come to Zion. Isaiah 59:19-20.

Here also it refers to the Lord. 'The name of Jehovah' stands for all the truth of faith and good of love from which worship flows, 2724, 3006, 6674, 9310. In the same prophet,

I have called You in righteousness, and will give You as a covenant of the people, 1 a light of the nations. I am Jehovah, that is My name; and My glory I will not give to another. Isaiah 42:6, 8.

This too is a reference to the Lord, in which 'a light of the nations' means Divine Truth which comes from Him; 'not giving glory to another' means that that Divine Truth comes from no one other than the Lord, who is one with Jehovah, as again in the same prophet,

For My own sake, for My own sake, I will do it; and My glory I will not give to another. Isaiah 48:11.

[6] 'Glory' has a like meaning elsewhere in Isaiah,

Your light will break forth like the dawn; your righteousness will walk before you, the glory of Jehovah will gather you up. Isaiah 58:8.

In the same prophet,

One will come to gather all nations and tongues, that they may come and see My glory. Isaiah 66:18.

In the same prophet,

Jehovah Zebaoth will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and before all His elders, glory. Isaiah 24:23.

In Moses,

Jehovah said, I am the Living One, and the whole earth will be filled with the glory of Jehovah. Numbers 14:20-21.

In all these places, which refer to the Lord, 'glory' means Divine Truth which emanates from Him.

[7] In Isaiah,

I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up. And above Him stood the seraphim. And one cried to another, Holy, holy, holy is Jehovah Zebaoth; the whole earth is full of His glory. Isaiah 6:1-3.

In David,

The heavens recount the glory of God. Psalms 19:1.

And in the same author,

... that the nations may fear the name of Jehovah, and the kings of the earth Your glory, in that Jehovah has built Zion and appeared in His glory. Psalms 102:15-16.

In Revelation,

The glory of God will give the holy Jerusalem light, and its lamp is the Lamb. And the nations that are saved will walk in His light, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory and honour into it. Revelation 21:23-25.

'The holy Jerusalem' stands for a new Church; 'the glory of God' stands for Divine Truth from the Lord there, as does 'His light' in which they will walk; and 'the kings of the earth' who 'will bring glory' stands for those who are guided by truths derived from good, 2015, 2069, 4581, 4966, 5044, 6148. All this now makes clear what the meaning is of 'the glory of Jehovah' which lay over Mount Sinai. See also 8427.
