1 你要用皂莢做一座燒香的

2 這壇要四方的,長一肘,寬一肘,二肘;壇的四角要與壇接連一塊。

3 要用精把壇的上面與壇的四圍,並壇的四角,包裹;又要在壇的四圍鑲上牙邊。

4 要做兩個安在牙子邊以,在壇的兩旁,兩根橫撐上,作為穿杠的用處,以便抬壇。

5 要用皂莢做杠,用包裹。

6 要把壇放在法櫃前的幔子外,對著法櫃上的施恩座,就是我要與你相會的地方。

7 亞倫在壇上要燒馨料做的;每早晨他收拾的時候,要燒這

8 黃昏的時候,他要在耶和華面前燒這香,作為世世代常燒的香。

9 在這壇上不可奉上異樣的香,不可獻燔祭、素祭,也不可澆上奠祭。

10 亞倫一年一次要在壇的角上行贖罪之禮。他一年一次要用贖罪祭牲的血在壇上行贖罪之禮,作為世世代的定例。這壇在耶和華面前為至

11 耶和華曉諭摩西

12 你要按以色列人被數的,計算總數,你數的時候,他們各要為自己的生命把贖價奉耶和華,免得數的時候在他們中間有災殃。

13 凡過去歸那些被數之人的,每人要按所的平,拿銀子半舍客勒;這半舍客勒是奉耶和華的禮物(一舍客勒二十季拉)。

14 凡過去歸那些被數的人,從二十歲以外的,要將這禮物奉耶和華

15 他們為贖生命將禮物奉耶和華,富足的不可多出,貧窮的也不可少出,各人要出半舍客勒

16 你要從以色列人收這贖罪,作為會幕的使用,可以在耶和華面前為以色列人紀念,贖生命。

17 耶和華曉諭摩西

18 你要用銅做濯盆和盆座,以便濯。要將盆放在會幕的中間,在盆裡盛

19 亞倫和他的兒子要在這盆裡

20 他們進會幕,或是就前供職給耶和華獻火祭的時候,必用濯,免得亡。

21 他們就免得亡。這要作亞倫和他後裔世世代永遠的定例。

22 耶和華曉諭摩西

23 你要取上品的香料,就是流質的沒藥五舍客勒,肉桂一半,就是二五十舍客勒,菖蒲二五十舍客勒,

24 桂皮五舍客勒,都按著所的平,又取橄欖

25 按做香之法調和做成

26 要用這油抹會幕和法櫃,

27 桌子桌子的一切器具,臺和臺的器具,並香

28 祭壇,和的一切器具,洗濯盆和盆座。

29 要使這些物成為,好成為至;凡挨著的都成為

30 亞倫和他的兒子,使他們成為,可以給我供祭司的職分。

31 你要對以色列人:這,我要世世代以為

32 不可倒在別人的身上,也不可按這調和之法做與此相似的。這膏油是的,你們也要以為

33 凡調和與此相似的,或將這膏膏在別身上的,這要從民中剪除。

34 耶和華吩咐摩西:你要取馨香料,就是拿他弗、施喜列、喜利比拿;這馨香料和淨乳各樣要一般大的分量。

35 你要用這些加上鹽,按做香之法做成清淨聖潔的香。

36 這香要取點搗得極細,放在會幕內、法櫃前,我要在那裡與你相會。你們要以這香為至

37 你們不可按這調和之法為自己做香;要以這香為,歸耶和華

38 凡做和這一樣,為要香味的,這要從民中剪除。

10196. 'Before the mercy-seat which is above the Testimony' means where the Lord hears and receives everything of worship arising from the good of love. This is clear from the meaning of 'the mercy-seat' as the hearing and reception by the Lord of everything of worship arising from the good of love, dealt with in 9506; and from the meaning of 'the Testimony' as the Lord in respect of the Word, dealt with in 8535, 9503, thus of Divine Truth since the Lord in respect of Divine Truth is the Word, 9987.

[2] A brief statement about Divine Good and Divine Truth needs to be made here. As to His Divine [Being] itself, called the Father, and His Divine Humanity, called the Son, the Lord is Divine Love itself, and is accordingly Divine Good itself. But as to His presence in heaven, which is beneath the Lord as the Sun, He is Divine Truth. Yet this Divine Truth has Divine Good within it, adjusted to its reception by angels and spirits. This Divine presence is what is called the Spirit of Jehovah and that which is Holy. The reason why it is spoken of as Divine Truth and not Divine Good is that angels and spirits are created beings and therefore are recipients of Divine Truth emanating from Divine Good. Like people in the world they enjoy two powers of mind - the understanding and the will. The understanding has been formed to receive Divine Truth and the will to receive Divine Good; and their understanding serves not only to receive [that Truth] but also to perceive [this Good].

[3] Simple people may gain some idea of this matter if it is compared with the sun and the world that comes into being from it. The sun is composed of fire, but what radiates from it is heat and light. As anyone may know, there is no light within the sun itself, but light radiates from it. And in the measure that light radiating from the sun holds heat within itself plants come to life and grow, producing fruit and seeds. These things have been mentioned by way of comparison because the whole natural order is a theatre representative of the Lord's kingdom; and it is a representative theatre because the natural world has been brought into being by the Divine - and is unceasingly brought into being, that is, is held in being, by Him - by means of the spiritual world. So it is that in the Word 'the sun', similarly 'fire', is used to mean the Lord in respect of Divine Love, and 'light' to mean the Lord in respect of Divine Truth, as in John 1:9; 3:19; 9:5; 12:46.
