1 你要从以色列人中,使你的哥哥亚伦和他的儿子拿答、亚比户、以利亚撒、以他玛一同就近你,给我供祭司的职分。

2 你要给你哥哥亚伦衣为荣耀,为华美。

3 又要吩咐一切中有智慧的,就是我用智慧的灵所充满的,给亚伦衣服,使他分别为,可以给我供祭司的职分。

4 所要做的就是胸牌、以弗得、外袍、杂色的内袍、冠冕、腰带,使你哥哥亚伦和他儿子穿这服,可以给我供祭司的职分。

5 要用线和蓝色紫色、朱红色线,并细麻去做。

6 他们要拿线和蓝色紫色、朱红色线,并捻的细麻,用巧匠的手工做以弗得。

7 以弗得当有两条带,接上两头,使他相连。

8 其上巧工织的带子,要和以弗得一样的做法,用以束上,与以弗得接连一块,要用线和蓝色紫色、朱红色线,并捻的细麻做成。

9 要取两块红玛瑙,在上面刻以色列儿子名字

10 名字在这块宝上,名字在那块宝上,都照他们生来的次序。

11 要用刻宝的手工,彷佛刻图书,按着以色列儿子名字,刻这两块宝,要镶在槽上。

12 要将这两块宝安在以弗得的两条带上,为以色列人纪念亚伦要在两上担他们的名字,在耶和华面前作为纪念

13 要用子做二槽,

14 又拿精,用拧工彷佛拧绳子,做两条炼子,把这拧成的炼子搭在槽上。

15 你要用巧匠的手工做一个决断的胸牌。要和以弗得一样的做法:用线和蓝色紫色、朱红色线,并捻的细麻做成。

16 这胸牌要四方的,叠为两层,长一虎口,宽一虎口。

29 亚伦所的时候,要将决断胸牌,就是刻着以色列儿子名字的,带在胸前,在耶和华面前常作纪念

30 又要将乌陵和土明放在决断的胸牌里;亚伦进到耶和华面前的时候,要带在胸前,在耶和华面前常将以色列人的决断牌带在胸前。

31 你要做以弗得的外袍,颜色全是蓝的。

32 袍上要为留一领的周围织出领边来,彷佛铠甲的领,免得破裂。

33 袍子周围底边上要用蓝色紫色、朱红色线做石榴。在袍子周围的石榴中间要有铃铛:

34 一个铃铛一个石榴,一个铃铛一个石榴,在袍子周围的底边上。

35 亚伦供职的时候要穿这袍子。他进所到耶和华面前,以及出的时候,袍上的响声必被见,使他不至於亡。

36 你要用精做一面牌,在上面按刻图书之法刻着归耶和华

37 要用一条蓝细带子将牌系在冠冕的前面。

38 这牌必在亚伦的额上,亚伦要担当干犯物条例的罪孽;这物是以色列人在一切的礼物上所分别为的。这牌要常在他的额上,使他们可以在耶和华面前蒙悦纳。

39 要用杂色细麻线织内袍,用细麻布做冠冕,又用绣花的手工做腰带。

42 要给他们做细麻布裤子,遮掩下体;裤子当从腰达到大腿

43 亚伦和他儿子进入会幕,或就,在所供职的时候必穿上,免得担罪而。这要为亚伦和他的裔作永远的定例。

Arcana Coelestia#9812

学习本章节

9812. 'Eleazar and Ithamar' means in respect of the Divine Natural. This is clear from the fact that they were Aaron's younger sons; and since Aaron represents the Lord in respect of the Divine Celestial his sons too represent the Lord in respect of succeeding levels of what is Divine. That is, the older ones represent the Lord in respect of the Divine Spiritual, while the younger represent Him in respect of the Divine Natural. For this is the order in which the levels of Divine Good in the heavens follow one another; indeed the actual heavens in which such levels of good exist follow one another in that same order. Also one level of good comes into being and is also kept in being through another.

[2] Divine Celestial Good, which composes the third or inmost heaven, is the good of love to the Lord. Divine Spiritual Good, which composes the middle or second heaven, is the good of charity towards the neighbour. And Divine Natural Good, which composes the first or lowest heaven, is the good of faith and obedience. Divine Natural Good includes public good, which is called justice among all citizens, and also private good, which consists of all the virtues that constitute honourable behaviour.

[3] Those three levels of good follow one another in order as end, cause, and effect. And just as the end is the soul of the cause, and the cause is the all and the efficient power in the effect, so is celestial good the soul of spiritual good, and spiritual good the all in natural good. That which is the soul in another, and that which is the all there, are inwardly present as effort is within motion or as will is within action. The fact that the will is the soul and the all in action is self-evident, for when will ceases, so does action. All this makes clear what the situation is with the celestial, the spiritual, and the natural; that is to say, inmostly within natural good there must be celestial good, that is, the good of love to the Lord, which also is the good of innocence.
