Ezechiël第45章

学习

   

1 Als gijlieden nu het land zult doen vallen in erfenis, zo zult gij een hefoffer den HEERE offeren, tot een heilige plaats, van het land; de lengte zal zijn de lengte van vijf en twintig duizend meetrieten, en de breedte tien duizend; dat zal in zijn gehele grenzen rondom heilig zijn.

2 Hiervan zullen tot het heiligdom zijn vijfhonderd met vijfhonderd, vierkant rondom; en het zal vijftig ellen hebben tot een buitenruim rondom.

3 Alzo zult gij meten van deze maat, de lengte van vijf en twintig duizend, en de breedte van tien duizend; en daarin zal het heiligdom zijn met het heilige der heiligen.

4 Dat zal een heilige plaats zijn van het land; zij zal zijn voor de priesteren, die het heiligdom bedienen, die naderen om den HEERE te dienen; en het zal hun een plaats zijn tot huizen, en een heilige plaats voor het heiligdom.

5 Voorts zullen de Levieten, die dienaars des huizes, ook de lengte hebben van vijf en twintig duizend, en de breedte van tien duizend, hunlieden tot een bezitting, voor twintig kameren.

6 En tot bezitting van de stad zult gij geven de breedte van vijf duizend en de lengte van vijf en twintig duizend, tegenover het heilig hefoffer; voor het ganse huis Israels zal het zijn.

7 De vorst nu zal zijn deel hebben van deze en van gene zijde des heiligen hefoffers en der bezitting der stad, voor aan het heilig hefoffer, en voor aan de bezitting der stad; van den westerhoek westwaarts, en van den oosterhoek oostwaarts; en de lengte zal zijn tegenover een der delen, van de westergrens tot de oostergrens toe.

8 Dit land aangaande, het zal hem tot een bezitting zijn in Israel; en Mijn vorsten zullen Mijn volk niet meer verdrukken, maar den huize Israels het land laten, naar hun stammen.

9 Alzo zegt de Heere Heere: Het is te veel voor u, gij vorsten Israels! doet geweld en verstoring weg, en doet recht en gerechtigheid; neemt uw uitstortingen op van Mijn volk, spreekt de Heere Heere.

10 Een rechte waag, en een rechte efa, en een rechte bath zult gijlieden hebben.

11 Een efa en Een bath zullen van enerlei mate zijn, dat Een bath het tiende deel van Een homer houde; ook Een efa het tiende deel van Een homer; de mate daarvan zal zijn naar den homer.

12 En de sikkel zal zijn van twintig gera; twintig sikkelen, vijf en twintig sikkelen, en vijftien sikkelen, zal ulieden een pond zijn.

13 Dit is het hefoffer, dat gijlieden offeren zult: het zesde deel van een efa van een homer tarwe; ook zult gij het zesde deel van een efa geven van een homer gerst.

14 Aangaande de inzetting van olie, van een bath olie; gij zult offeren het tiende deel van een bath uit een kor, hetwelk is een homer van tien bath, want tien bath zijn een homer.

15 Voorts een lam uit de kudde, uit de tweehonderd, uit het waterrijke land van Israel, tot spijsoffer, en tot brandoffer, en tot dankofferen om verzoening over hen te doen, spreekt de Heere Heere.

16 Al het volk des lands zal in dit hefoffer zijn, voor den vorst in Israel.

17 En het zal den vorst opleggen te offeren de brandofferen, en het spijsoffer, en het drankoffer, op de feesten, en op de nieuwe maanden, en op de sabbatten, op alle gezette hoogtijden van het huis Israels; hij zal het zondoffer, en het spijsoffer, en het brandoffer, en de dankofferen doen, om verzoening te doen voor het huis Israels.

18 Alzo zegt de Heere Heere: In de eerste maand, op den eersten der maand, zult gij een volkomen var, een jong rund, nemen; en gij zult het heiligdom ontzondigen.

19 En de priester zal van het bloed des zondoffers nemen, en doen het aan de posten des huizes, en aan de vier hoeken van het afzetsel des altaars, en aan de posten der poorten van het binnenste voorhof.

20 Alzo zult gij ook doen op den zevenden in die maand; vanwege den afdwalende, en vanwege den slechte; alzo zult gijlieden het huis verzoenen.

21 In de eerste maand, op den veertienden dag der maand, zal ulieden het pascha zijn; een feest van zeven dagen, ongezuurde broden zal men eten.

22 En de vorst zal op denzelven dag voor zichzelven, en voor al het volk des lands, bereiden een var des zondoffers.

23 En de zeven dagen van het feest zal hij een brandoffer den HEERE bereiden, van zeven varren en zeven rammen, die volkomen zijn, dagelijks, de zeven dagen lang, en een zondoffer van een geitenbok, dagelijks.

24 Ook zal hij een spijsoffer bereiden, een efa tot een var, en een efa tot een ram; en een hin olie tot een efa.

25 In de zevende maand, op den vijftienden dag der maand zal hij op het feest desgelijks doen, zeven dagen lang; gelijk het zondoffer, gelijk het brandoffer, en gelijk het spijsoffer, en gelijk de olie.

9487. 'Two cubits and a half shall be its length' means all so far as good is concerned. This is clear from the meaning of 'two and a half' as much and as what is complete, and as all when this number has reference to something Divine (the reason why 'two and a half' means much and what is complete is that this number is similar in meaning to five, ten, a hundred, and a thousand, since twice two and a half makes five, twice five makes ten, and ten times ten makes a hundred; for doubles and multiples have a similar meaning to the simple numbers of which they are the products, 5291, 5335, 5708, 7973. For the meaning of 'five' as much and completeness, see 5708, 5956, 9102; likewise 'ten', 3107, 4638; also 'a hundred', 2636, 4400; and a thousand, 2575, 8715. So it is that when these numbers are used in reference to something Divine they mean all); and from the meaning of 'length' as good, dealt with in 1613, 8898.

[2] To say that 'length' in the Word means good and 'breadth' truth may seem to be like nonsense; nevertheless this is indeed what they mean. The reason why they do so is that all things without exception in the Word mean realities such as belong to heaven and to the Church, and so such as are connected with the good of love and with the truth of faith. No spatial dimensions such as 'length' and 'breadth' imply can be attributed to these; but instead of spatial dimensions the state of their essential being (esse), which is a state of good, and the resulting state of manifestation (existere), which is a state of truth, can be attributed to them. Furthermore in heaven spatial dimensions are appearances produced by those states, 4882, 9440. From all this it becomes clear that spiritual realities are meant by the measurements and dimensions given in Chapters 40-48 of Ezekiel, where a new temple and a new land are the subject. They are consequently meant here in Exodus, where the ark, the dwelling-place, the court, the tables there, and the altars are the subject. Such realities are in a similar way meant where the temple in Jerusalem is the subject, also when it says that the holy Jerusalem coming down from heaven was square, its breadth being as great as its length, Revelation 21:16; Zechariah 2:1-2. For 'Jerusalem' means a new Church, the character of its good being meant by the measurement of its length, and the character of its truth by that of its breadth.

[3] The fact that 'breadth' or 'broad place' means truth is plainly evident in David,

In distress I called on Jah; He answered me in a broad place. Psalms 118:5.

In the same author,

You have made my feet stand in a broad place. Psalms 31:8.

In Isaiah,

The outstretchings of Asshur's wings will fill the breadth of the land. Isaiah 8:8.

In Habakkuk,

I am rousing the Chaldeans, a bitter and hasty nation, marching 1 into the breadths of the earth. Habakkuk 1:6.

'Marching into the breadths of the earth', when said of the Chaldeans, means destroying the truths of faith.

Ezekiel第40章

学习

   

1 In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth [day] of the month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was struck, in the same day, the hand of Yahweh was on me, and he brought me there.

2 In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel, and set me down on a very high mountain, whereon was as it were the frame of a city on the south.

3 He brought me there; and, behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate.

4 The man said to me, Son of man, see with your eyes, and hear with your ears, and set your heart on all that I shall show you; for, to the intent that I may show them to you, you are brought here: declare all that you see to the house of Israel.

5 Behold, a wall on the outside of the house all around, and in the man's hand a measuring reed six cubits long, of a cubit and a handbreadth each: so he measured the thickness of the building, one reed; and the height, one reed.

6 Then came he to the gate which looks toward the east, and went up its steps: and he measured the threshold of the gate, one reed broad; and the other threshold, one reed broad.

7 Every lodge was one reed long, and one reed broad; and [the space] between the lodges was five cubits; and the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate toward the house was one reed.

8 He measured also the porch of the gate toward the house, one reed.

9 Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and its posts, two cubits; and the porch of the gate was toward the house.

10 The lodges of the gate eastward were three on this side, and three on that side; they three were of one measure: and the posts had one measure on this side and on that side.

11 He measured the breadth of the opening of the gate, ten cubits; and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits;

12 and a border before the lodges, one cubit [on this side], and a border, one cubit on that side; and the lodges, six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side.

13 He measured the gate from the roof of the one lodge to the roof of the other, a breadth of twenty-five cubits; door against door.

14 He made also posts, sixty cubits; and the court [reached] to the posts, around the gate.

15 [From] the forefront of the gate at the entrance to the forefront of the inner porch of the gate were fifty cubits.

16 There were closed windows to the lodges, and to their posts within the gate all around, and likewise to the arches; and windows were around inward; and on [each] post were palm trees.

17 Then brought he me into the outer court; and behold, there were rooms and a pavement, made for the court all around: thirty rooms were on the pavement.

18 The pavement was by the side of the gates, answerable to the length of the gates, even the lower pavement.

19 Then he measured the breadth from the forefront of the lower gate to the forefront of the inner court outside, one hundred cubits, [both] on the east and on the north.

20 The gate of the outer court whose prospect is toward the north, he measured its length and its breadth.

21 The lodges of it were three on this side and three on that side; and its posts and its arches were after the measure of the first gate: its length was fifty cubits, and the breadth twenty-five cubits.

22 The windows of it, and its arches, and the palm trees of it, were after the measure of the gate whose prospect is toward the east; and they went up to it by seven steps; and its arches were before them.

23 There was a gate to the inner court over against the [other] gate, [both] on the north and on the east; and he measured from gate to gate one hundred cubits.

24 He led me toward the south; and behold, a gate toward the south: and he measured its posts and its arches according to these measures.

25 There were windows in it and in its arches all around, like those windows: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth twenty-five cubits.

26 There were seven steps to go up to it, and its arches were before them; and it had palm trees, one on this side, and another on that side, on its posts.

27 There was a gate to the inner court toward the south: and he measured from gate to gate toward the south a hundred cubits.

28 Then he brought me to the inner court by the south gate: and he measured the south gate according to these measures;

29 and its lodges, and its posts, and its arches, according to these measures: and there were windows in it and in its arches all around; it was fifty cubits long, and twenty-five cubits broad.

30 There were arches all around, twenty-five cubits long, and five cubits broad.

31 The arches of it were toward the outer court; and palm trees were on its posts: and the ascent to it had eight steps.

32 He brought me into the inner court toward the east: and he measured the gate according to these measures;

33 and its lodges, and its posts, and its arches, according to these measures: and there were windows therein and in its arches all around; it was fifty cubits long, and twenty-five cubits broad.

34 The arches of it were toward the outer court; and palm trees were on its posts, on this side, and on that side: and the ascent to it had eight steps.

35 He brought me to the north gate: and he measured [it] according to these measures;

36 its lodges, its posts, and its arches: and there were windows therein all around; the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth twenty-five cubits.

37 The posts of it were toward the outer court; and palm trees were on its posts, on this side, and on that side: and the ascent to it had eight steps.

38 A room with its door was by the posts at the gates; there they washed the burnt offering.

39 In the porch of the gate were two tables on this side, and two tables on that side, to kill thereon the burnt offering and the sin offering and the trespass offering.

40 On the [one] side outside, as one goes up to the entry of the gate toward the north, were two tables; and on the other side, which belonged to the porch of the gate, were two tables.

41 Four tables were on this side, and Four tables on that side, by the side of the gate; eight tables, whereupon they killed [the sacrifices].

42 There were four tables for the burnt offering, of cut stone, a cubit and a half long, and a cubit and a half broad, and one cubit high; whereupon they laid the instruments with which they killed the burnt offering and the sacrifice.

43 The hooks, a handbreadth long, were fastened within all around: and on the tables was the flesh of the offering.

44 Outside of the inner gate were rooms for the singers in the inner court, which was at the side of the north gate; and their prospect was toward the south; one at the side of the east gate having the prospect toward the north.

45 He said to me, This room, whose prospect is toward the south, is for the priests, the keepers of the duty of the house;

46 and the room whose prospect is toward the north is for the priests, the keepers of the duty of the altar: these are the sons of Zadok, who from among the sons of Levi come near to Yahweh to minister to him.

47 He measured the court, one hundred cubits long, and a hundred cubits broad, foursquare; and the altar was before the house.

48 Then he brought me to the porch of the house, and measured each post of the porch, five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side: and the breadth of the gate was three cubits on this side, and three cubits on that side.

49 The length of the porch was twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven cubits; even by the steps by which they went up to it: and there were pillars by the posts, one on this side, and another on that side.
