学习

   

1 耶和华晓谕摩西

2 初一日,你要立起帐幕,

3 把法柜安放在里面,用幔子将柜遮掩。

4 桌子搬进去,摆设上面的物。把台搬进去,点其上的

5 把烧香的安在法柜前,挂上帐幕的帘。

6 把燔祭坛安在帐幕前。

7 把洗濯盆安在会幕的中间,在盆里盛

8 又在四围立院帷,把院子的帘挂上。

9 把帐幕和其中所有的都抹上,使帐幕和一切器具成圣,就都成圣

10 又要抹燔祭坛和一切器具,使成圣,就都成为至

11 要抹洗濯盆和盆座,使盆成圣

12 要使亚伦和他儿子到会幕口来,用身。

13 要给亚伦穿上衣,又他,使他成圣,可以给我供祭司的职分;

14 又要使他儿子来,给他们穿上内袍。

15 怎样他们的父亲,也要照样他们,使他们给我供祭司的职分。他们世世代凡受的,就永远祭司的职任。

16 摩西这样行,都是照耶和华所吩咐他的。

17 第二年正初一日,帐幕就立起来。

18 摩西立起帐幕,安上带卯的座,立上板,穿上闩,立起子。

19 在帐幕以上搭罩棚,把罩棚的顶盖盖在其上,是照耶和华所吩咐他的。

20 又把法版放在柜里,把杠穿在柜的两旁,把施恩座安在柜上。

21 把柜抬进帐幕,挂上遮掩柜的幔子,把法柜遮掩了,是照耶和华所吩咐他的。

22 又把桌子安在会幕内,在帐幕边,在幔子外。

23 在桌子上将饼陈设在耶和华面前,是照耶和华所吩咐他的

24 又把台安在会幕内,在帐幕边,与桌子相对,

25 耶和华面前点,是照耶和华所吩咐他的。

26 安在会幕内的幔子前,

27 在坛上烧了馨料做的,是照耶和华所吩咐他的。

28 又挂上帐幕的帘。

29 会幕的帐幕前,安设燔祭坛,把燔祭和素祭献在其上,是照耶和华所吩咐他的。

30 濯盆安在会幕的中间,盆中盛,以便濯。

31 摩西亚伦亚伦的儿子在这盆里

32 他们进会幕或就近的时候,便都濯,是照耶和华所吩咐他的。

33 在帐幕和的四围立了院帷,把院子的帘挂上。这样,摩西就完了工。

34 当时,彩遮盖会幕耶和华的荣光就充满了帐幕。

35 摩西不能进会幕;因为彩停在其上,并且耶和华的荣光充满了帐幕。

36 每逢彩从帐幕收上去,以色列人就起程前往;

37 彩若不收上去,他们就不起程,直等到彩收上去。

38 日间,耶和华的彩是在帐幕以上;夜间,中有,在以色列全家的眼前。在他们所行的路上都是这样。

Apocalypse Revealed#778

学习本章节

  
/962  
  

778. "And wine, oil, flour, wheat." This symbolically means that these Roman Catholics no longer have any worship that springs from celestial truths and goods, because they have nothing inwardly in their worship that corresponds to the aforesaid things.

This statement is similar to ones explained just above and in previous numbers, the only difference being that the valuables here symbolize celestial goods and truths.

Just what goods and truths are called celestial, and what spiritual, may be seen in no. 773 above. It may also be seen that the Roman Catholics meant here possess none of these, nor are there any in their worship. For, as we said above, the goods and truths of doctrine are present in worship as the soul is in the body. Consequently worship without these is a lifeless worship. Of such a character is worship that is reverent in outward appearances, but which has in it no internal reverence.

That wine symbolizes truth springing from the goodness of love may be seen in no. 316 above. That oil symbolizes the goodness of love will be seen in the next number. Flour symbolizes celestial truth, and wheat symbolizes celestial good.

[2] Wine, oil, flour and wheat symbolize the truths and goods in worship, because they were the ingredients in drink offerings and grain offerings, which were offered on the altar along with other sacrifices, and sacrifices and other offerings offered on the altar symbolize worship, since it was in these that the Israelites' worship chiefly consisted.

That drink offerings, which were ones of wine, were offered on the altar along with other sacrifices, can be seen in Exodus 29:40; Leviticus 23:12-13, 18-19; Numbers 15:2-15; 28:11-15, 18-31; 29:1-7ff.; and also in Isaiah 57:6; 65:11; Jeremiah 7:18; 44:17-19; Ezekiel 20:28; Joel 1:9; Psalms 16:4; Deuteronomy 32:38.

That oil was also offered on the altar along with sacrifices, can be seen in Exodus 29:40.

That grain offerings, which consisted of wheat flour, were offered on the altar along with other sacrifices, can be seen in Exodus 29:40).

It can be seen from this that these four articles - wine, oil, flour and wheat - were sacred and celestial elements in their worship.
