Ezekiel第41章

学习

   

1 Derpå førte han mig til det hellige og målte pillerne, de var seks Al brede på begge Sider;

2 Indgangen var ti Alen bred, dens Sidevægge fem Alen til begge Sider; og han målte dets Længde til fyrretyve Alen og Bredden til tyve.

3 Derpå gik han ind i Inderhallen og målte indgangens Piller; de var to Alen, og Indgangen var seks Alen bred og Sidevæggene syv Alen brede til begge Sider.

4 Og han målte dets Længde til tyve Alen og Bredden til tyve ud for Tempelrummet. Og han sagde til mig: "Dette er det Allerhelligste."

5 Derpå målte han Templets Mur; den var seks Alen bred; og Tilbygningen var fire Alen bred Templet rundt.

6 Tilbygningen lå um ved um, tre Aum oven på hverandre tredive Gange, og der var Fremspring, så Bjælkerne ikke greb ind i Templets Mur.

7 Således var Tilbygningens um bredere og bredere opad, efter som Tempelmuren var trukket tilbage opad, Templet rundt. Fra det nederste Stokværk steg man op til det mellemste, og derfra op til det øverste.

8 Og jeg så ved Templet en ophøjet brolagt Plads hele Vejen rundt. Tilbygningens Grundmure var et fuldt Mål høje, seks Alen til Kanten.

9 Tilbygningens Ydermur var fem Alen bred. Der var en åben Plads langs Templets Tilbygning.

10 En afspærret Plads, tyve Alen bred, omgav Templet på alle Sider.

11 Tilbygningens Døre førte ud til den åbne Plads, en Dør mod Nord og en anden mod Syd; og den åbne Plads var fem Alen bred på alle Sider.

12 Den Bygning, som lå ved den afspærrede Plads imod Vest, var halvfjerdsindstyve Alen bred, dens Mur var fem Alen tyk til alle Sider, og den var halvfemsindstyve Alen lang.

13 Han målte Templet; det var hundrede Alen langt; den afspærrede Plads tillige med Bagbygningen og dens Mure var hundrede Alen lang,

14 og Templets Forside tillige med den afspærrede Plads mod Øst var hundrede Alen bred.

15 Og han målte Længden af Bagbygningen langs den afspærrede Plads, som lå bag den; den var hundrede Alen. Det Hellige, Inderhallen og den ydre Forhal

16 var træklædt. Vinduer, som udvidede sig indad, gav Lys rundt om i alle tre um, og Væggene derinde var klædt med Træ rundt om fra Gulv til Vinduer,

17 og fra Indgangens Sidevægge til det indre um var der Væggen rundt

18 udskåret Arbejde, Keruber og Palmer, en Palme mellem to Keruber; Keruberne havde to Ansigter;

19 Menneskeansigtet vendte mod Palmen på den ene Side og Løveansigtet mod Palmen på den anden Side; således var der gjort hele Templet rundt.

20 Fra Gulv til Vinduer var der fremstillet Keruber og Palmer på det Helliges Væg.

21 Ved Indgangen til det Hellige var der firkantede Dørstolper. Foran Helligdommen var der noget, der så ud som

22 et Træalter, tre Alen højt, to Alen langt og to Alen bredt; det havde Hjørner, og dets Fodstykke og Vægge var af Træ. Og han sagde til mig: "Dette er Bordet, som står for HE ENs Åsyn."

23 Det Hellige havde to Dørfløje;

24 ligeledes havde Helligdommen to Dørfløje; hver Fløj var to bevægelige Dørflader, to på hver Fløj.

25 Og på dem var der fretillet Keruber og Palmer ligesom på Væggene. Der var et Trætag uden for Forhallen.

26 Der var gitrede Vinduer og Palmer på Forhallens Sidevægge til begge Sider..."

10253. 'Five hundred [shekels]' means what is complete. This is clear from the meaning of the number 'five hundred' as what is complete. The reason why 'five hundred' has this meaning is that this number is the product of five multiplied by ten tens, or fives times a hundred; and 'five' means much, as do 'ten' and 'a hundred', and therefore 'five hundred' means what is complete.

'Five' means much, see 5708, 5956, 9102, as likewise does 'ten', 3107, 4638, and also 'a hundred', 4400, 6582, 6594.

All numbers in the Word mean spiritual realities, see in the places referred to in 9488.

Compound numbers have a similar meaning to the simple ones that give rise to them through multiplication, 5291, 5335, 5708, 7973.

[2] The fact that numbers mean spiritual realities is perfectly clear in Ezekiel, where the house of God, together with everything there inside and outside, and also the new earth or land, are measured and are described by numbers pertaining to measure, in Chapters 40-48. By the new land there the Church should be understood, and by the house of God its holiness. The same is so in John, in the Book of Revelation, where also a new Jerusalem is described by the numbers where measurements are given, by which too a new Church should be understood. Unless the numbers had meant spiritual realities all those measurements would have been pointless.

[3] 'Five hundred' means the whole from one end to the other, thus what is complete. This is clear from those chapters in Ezekiel,

He measured outside the house (or the temple), to the east quarter five hundred rods round about, to the north quarter five hundred rods round about, to the south quarter five hundred rods, and to the west quarter 1 five hundred rods. Its wall round about, the length was five hundred rods, and the breadth five hundred rods, to distinguish between the holy and the profane. Ezekiel 42:15-20.

From these words it is evident that 'five hundred' means the whole in its entirety, or everything holy from one end to the other, thus what is complete; for it says that the wall, which - according to this account of its length and breadth - formed a square, served to distinguish the holy from the profane.

[4] 'Five hundred' also means much, while a tenth of that number or fifty means some. This is clear from the Lord's words addressed to Simon, in Luke,

Jesus said, There were two debtors who had a certain creditor. One owed five hundred denarii, but the other fifty. When they did not have [anything with which] to repay, he forgave them both. Which of the two loves him more? Simon answered, The one to whom he forgave more. Jesus said, So have the many sins of the woman been forgiven, because she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, [that person] loves little. Luke 7:41-end.

The reason why the Lord used those numbers was that they meant much and some; for He spoke from a Divine [perspective], thus used words carrying a spiritual meaning, in accord with correspondences. The same is so everywhere else, as when He spoke about the virgins, of whom - He said - there were ten, and that five were wise and five were foolish. He spoke of ten because that number means all, that is to say, all who belong to the Church, and of five because this number means some, see 4637, 4638.

Exodus第30章

学习

   

1 "You shall make an altar to burn incense on. You shall make it of acacia wood.

2 Its length shall be a cubit, and its breadth a cubit. It shall be square, and its height shall be two cubits. Its horns shall be of one piece with it.

3 You shall overlay it with pure gold, its top, its sides around it, and its horns; and you shall make a gold molding around it.

4 You shall make two golden rings for it under its molding; on its two ribs, on its two sides you shall make them; and they shall be for places for poles with which to bear it.

5 You shall make the poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold.

6 You shall put it before the veil that is by the ark of the testimony, before the mercy seat that is over the testimony, where I will meet with you.

7 Aaron shall burn incense of sweet spices on it every morning. When he tends the lamps, he shall burn it.

8 When Aaron lights the lamps at evening, he shall burn it, a perpetual incense before Yahweh throughout your generations.

9 You shall offer no strange incense on it, nor burnt offering, nor meal offering; and you shall pour no drink offering on it.

10 Aaron shall make atonement on its horns once in the year; with the blood of the sin offering of atonement once in the year he shall make atonement for it throughout your generations. It is most holy to Yahweh."

11 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

12 "When you take a census of the children of Israel, according to those who are numbered among them, then each man shall give a ransom for his soul to Yahweh, when you number them; that there be no plague among them when you number them.

13 They shall give this, everyone who passes over to those who are numbered, half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary; (the shekel is twenty gerahs;) half a shekel for an offering to Yahweh.

14 Everyone who passes over to those who are numbered, from twenty years old and upward, shall give the offering to Yahweh.

15 The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less, than the half shekel, when they give the offering of Yahweh, to make atonement for your souls.

16 You shall take the atonement money from the children of Israel, and shall appoint it for the service of the Tent of Meeting; that it may be a memorial for the children of Israel before Yahweh, to make atonement for your souls."

17 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

18 "You shall also make a basin of brass, and its base of brass, in which to wash. You shall put it between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and you shall put water in it.

19 Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet in it.

20 When they go into the Tent of Meeting, they shall wash with water, that they not die; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn an offering made by fire to Yahweh.

21 So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they not die: and it shall be a statute forever to them, even to him and to his descendants throughout their generations."

22 Moreover Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

23 "Also take fine spices: of liquid myrrh, five hundred shekels; and of fragrant cinnamon half as much, even two hundred and fifty; and of fragrant cane, two hundred and fifty;

24 and of cassia five hundred, after the shekel of the sanctuary; and a hin of olive oil.

25 You shall make it a holy anointing oil, a perfume compounded after the art of the perfumer: it shall be a holy anointing oil.

26 You shall use it to anoint the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the testimony,

27 the table and all its articles, the lampstand and its accessories, the altar of incense,

28 the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the basin with its base.

29 You shall sanctify them, that they may be most holy. Whatever touches them shall be holy.

30 You shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and sanctify them, that they may minister to me in the priest's office.

31 You shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, 'This shall be a holy anointing oil to me throughout your generations.

32 It shall not be poured on man's flesh, neither shall you make any like it, according to its composition: it is holy. It shall be holy to you.

33 Whoever compounds any like it, or whoever puts any of it on a stranger, he shall be cut off from his people.'"

34 Yahweh said to Moses, "Take to yourself sweet spices, gum resin, and onycha, and galbanum; sweet spices with pure frankincense: of each shall there be an equal weight;

35 and you shall make incense of it, a perfume after the art of the perfumer, seasoned with salt, pure and holy:

36 and you shall beat some of it very small, and put some of it before the testimony in the Tent of Meeting, where I will meet with you. It shall be to you most holy.

37 The incense which you shall make, according to its composition you shall not make for yourselves: it shall be to you holy for Yahweh.

38 Whoever shall make any like that, to smell of it, he shall be cut off from his people."
