1 Und aus dem blauen und dem roten Purpur und dem Karmesin machten sie die Dienstkleider (And.: die gestickten Kleider; so auch v 41) zum Dienst im Heiligtum, und sie machten die heiligen Kleider für Aaron, so wie Jehova dem Mose geboten hatte.

2 Und man (O. er) machte das Ephod von Gold, blauem und rotem Purpur und Karmesin und gezwirntem Byssus.

3 Und sie plätteten Goldbleche, und man (O. er) zerschnitt sie zu Fäden, zum Verarbeiten unter den blauen und unter den roten Purpur und unter den Karmesin und unter den Byssus, in Kunstweberarbeit.

4 Sie machten zusammenfügende Schulterstücke daran: an seinen beiden Enden wurde es zusammengefügt.

5 Und der gewirkte Gürtel, mit dem es angebunden wurde, der darüber war, war von gleichem Stoffe, (W. war aus ihm; wie Kap. 28,8) von gleicher Arbeit mit ihm: von Gold, blauem und rotem Purpur und Karmesin und gezwirntem Byssus: so wie Jehova dem Mose geboten hatte.

6 Und sie machten die Onyxsteine, umgeben mit Einfassungen von Gold, gestochen in Siegelstecherei, nach den Namen der Söhne Israels.

7 Und man (O. er) setzte sie auf die Schulterstücke des Ephods, als Steine des Gedächtnisses für die Kinder Israel: so wie Jehova dem Mose geboten hatte.

8 Und er machte das Brustschild in Kunstweberarbeit, gleich der Arbeit des Ephods: von Gold, blauem und rotem Purpur und Karmesin und gezwirntem Byssus.

9 Es war quadratförmig; das Brustschild machten sie gedoppelt, eine Spanne seine Länge und eine Spanne seine Breite, gedoppelt.

10 Und sie besetzten es mit vier eihen von Steinen; eine eihe: Sardis, Topas und Smaragd, die erste eihe;

11 und die zweite eihe: Karfunkel, Saphir und Diamant;

12 und die dritte eihe: Opal, Achat und Amethyst;

13 und die vierte eihe: Chrysolith, Onyx und Jaspis; umgeben mit Einfassungen von Gold in ihren Einsetzungen.

14 Und der Steine waren nach den Namen der Söhne Israels zwölf, nach ihren Namen; in Siegelstecherei, ein jeder nach seinem Namen, für die zwölf Stämme.

15 Und sie machten an das Brustschild schnurähnliche Ketten, in Flechtwerk, von reinem Golde.

16 Und sie machten zwei Einfassungen von Gold und zwei inge von Gold und befestigten die zwei inge an die beiden Enden des Brustschildes.

17 Und die zwei geflochtenen Schnüre von Gold befestigten sie an die beiden inge an den Enden des Brustschildes;

18 und die beiden anderen Enden der zwei geflochtenen Schnüre befestigten sie an die beiden Einfassungen und befestigten sie an die Schulterstücke des Ephods, an seine Vorderseite.

19 Und sie machten zwei inge von Gold und befestigten sie an die beiden Enden des Brustschildes, an seinen Saum, der gegen das Ephod hin war, einwärts;

20 und sie machten zwei inge von Gold und befestigten sie an die beiden Schulterstücke des Ephods, unten an seine Vorderseite, gerade bei seiner Zusammenfügung, oberhalb des gewirkten Gürtels des Ephods.

21 Und sie banden das Brustschild mit seinen ingen an die inge des Ephods mit einer purpurblauen Schnur, daß es über dem gewirkten Gürtel des Ephods wäre und das Brustschild sich nicht von dem Ephod verrückte: so wie Jehova dem Mose geboten hatte.

22 Und er machte das Oberkleid des Ephods in Weberarbeit, ganz von blauem Purpur.

23 Und die Öffnung des Oberkleides war in seiner Mitte, wie die Öffnung eines Panzers; eine Borte hatte es an seiner Öffnung ringsum, damit es nicht einrisse.

24 Und sie machten an den Saum des Oberkleides Granatäpfel von blauem und rotem Purpur und Karmesin, gezwirnt.

25 Und sie machten Schellen von reinem Golde und setzten die Schellen zwischen die Granatäpfel an den Saum des Oberkleides ringsum, zwischen die Granatäpfel:

26 eine Schelle und einen Granatapfel, eine Schelle und einen Granatapfel an den Saum des Oberkleides ringsum, um den Dienst zu verrichten: so wie Jehova dem Mose geboten hatte.

27 Und sie machten die Leibröcke von Byssus, in Weberarbeit, für Aaron und für seine Söhne;

28 und den Kopfbund von Byssus, und den Kopfschmuck der hohen Mützen von Byssus, und die leinenen Beinkleider von gezwirntem Byssus,

29 und den Gürtel von gezwirntem Byssus und von blauem und rotem Purpur und Karmesin, in Buntwirkerarbeit: so wie Jehova dem Mose geboten hatte.

30 Und sie machten das Blech, das heilige Diadem, von reinem Golde, und schrieben darauf mit Siegelstecherschrift: Heiligkeit dem Jehova!

31 Und sie taten daran eine Schnur von blauem Purpur, um es oben an den Kopfbund zu befestigen: so wie Jehova dem Mose geboten hatte.

32 Und es wurde vollendet die ganze Arbeit der Wohnung des Zeltes der Zusammenkunft; und die Kinder Israel taten nach allem, was Jehova dem Mose geboten hatte, also taten sie.

33 Und sie brachten die Wohnung zu Mose: Das Zelt und alle seine Geräte, seine Klammern, seine Bretter, seine iegel und seine Säulen und seine Füße;

34 und die Decke von rotgefärbten Widderfellen und die Decke von Dachsfellen und den Scheidevorhang;

35 die Lade des Zeugnisses und ihre Stangen und den Deckel;

36 den Tisch, alle seine Geräte und die Schaubrote;

37 den reinen Leuchter, seine Lampen, die zuzurichtenden Lampen, und alle seine Geräte und das Öl zum Licht;

38 und den goldenen Altar und das Salböl und das wohlriechende äucherwerk; und den Vorhang vom Eingange des Zeltes;

39 den ehernen Altar und sein ehernes Gitter, seine Stangen und alle seine Geräte; das Becken und sein Gestell;

40 die Umhänge des Vorhofs, seine Säulen und seine Füße; und den Vorhang für das Tor des Vorhofs, seine Seile und seine Pflöcke; und alle Geräte zum Dienst der Wohnung des Zeltes (O. für das Zelt) der Zusammenkunft;

41 die Dienstkleider zum Dienste im Heiligtum, die heiligen Kleider für Aaron, den Priester, und die Kleider seiner Söhne, um den Priesterdienst auszuüben.

42 Nach allem, was Jehova dem Mose geboten hatte, also hatten die Kinder Israel die ganze Arbeit gemacht.

43 Und Mose sah das ganze Werk, und siehe, sie hatten es gemacht; so wie Jehova geboten hatte, also hatten sie es gemacht; und Mose segnete sie.

Apocalypse Explained#39

学习本章节

  
/1232  
  

39. And all the tribes of the earth shall wail over him. That this signifies that the falsities of the church will resist, is evident from the signification of wailing, as denoting to lament, to grieve, to be indignant, to be angry, to be averse from, thus also to resist; and from the signification of tribes, as denoting all truths and goods in the aggregate, and, in the opposite sense, all falsities and evils in the aggregate, concerning which we shall speak in what follows; and from the signification of the earth, as being the church (on which see above, n. 29). By all the tribes of the earth, therefore, is signified the whole church, and by their wailing over Him, is signified that truths and goods are no more, because falsities and evils are about to dominate and resist. For what the state of the church will be at its end is treated of in general in this verse, when there will be no longer any faith because no charity; that is, that the Lord will then reveal Himself, and that all will acknowledge Him who are in truths from good, and that those also shall see Him who are in falsities from evil, but that the falsities of the church will resist. (That the Apocalypse does not treat of the successive states of the church, but of its last state, or when it is at its end, may be seen above, n. 5; and that its end is when there is no faith because no charity, may be seen in the small work, The Last Judgment 33-39, and following numbers. When there is no faith because no charity, then falsities from evil reign, which offer opposition to truths from good.)

[2] Tribes are often mentioned in the Word, because the Israelitish people were divided into twelve tribes; and he who is ignorant of the internal sense of the Word supposes, that by tribes are meant the tribes of Israel; nevertheless, by tribes are not meant tribes, nor is Israel meant by Israel; but tribes mean all those who are in truths from good, and Israel means the church of the Lord. He who does not know this, will easily accept the common belief that the children of Israel were chosen before all others on the whole earth, and also that they will be introduced at last into the land of Canaan. Indeed, he will believe that heaven will consist chiefly of them; although, by the names of those tribes in the Word they are not meant, but those who are in truths from good, that is, those who belong to the church; by the twelve tribes, all, and by each one of them, some special truth and good pertaining to those who belong to the church.

[3] These things being understood, it is evident what is meant by these words in the Apocalypse:

"I heard the number of them which were sealed; and there were sealed a hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the sons of Israel. Of the tribe of Judah were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Asher were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Naphtali were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasseh were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Zebulun were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand" (7:4-8).

In this passage those who belonged to the Israelitish nation are not meant, but all those, however many they may be, who are in truths from good; for all these are sealed for heaven. The numbers one hundred and forty-four thousand and twelve thousand, also signify all, and each tribe signifies all those who are in that truth or good which is signified by its name.

(As may be evident from what is shown in Arcana Coelestia in regard to the following: what good and truth are signified by Judah, n. 3881, 6363; what by Reuben, n. 3861, 3866, 4605, 4731, 4734, 4761, 6342-6345; what by Gad, n. 3934, 3935; what by Asher, n. 3938, 3939, 6408; what by Naphtali, n. 3927, 3928 what by Manasseh, n. 3969, 5354, 6222, 6231, 6238, 6267, 6296 what by Simeon, n. 3869-3872, 4197, 4502, 4503, 5482, 5626, 5630; what by Levi, n. 3875, 3877, 4497, 4502, 4503; what by Issachar, n. 3956, 3957; what by Zebulun, n. 3960, 3961, 6383; what by Joseph, n. 3969, 3971, 4669, 6417; and what by Benjamin, n. 3969, 4592, 5411, 5413, 5443, 5639, 5686, 5688, 5689, 6440.

That all numbers in the Word signify things, see n. 482, 487, 647, 648, 755, 813, 1963, 2075, 2252, 3252, 4264, 4495, 4670, 5265, 6175, 9488, 9659, 10217, 10253.

That twelve signifies all, and all things as to truths from good, see n. 577, 2089, 2129, 2130, 3272, 3858, 3913; also, the numbers 72, 144, 12,000, 144,000, because they arise from the number 12 by multiplication, n. 7973.

That numbers multiplied signify the same as the simple numbers from which they are produced by multiplication, see n. 5291, 5335, 5708, 7973.)

[4] He who does not know that numbers signify things, what the numbers twelve, one hundred and forty-four, and twelve thousand signify, and also what tribes and apostles signify, cannot know what is signified by those passages in the Apocalypse, where it is said, that the holy city, New Jerusalem,

"had a wall great and high, having twelve gates, and in the gates twelve angels, and names written which are the names of the twelve tribes of Israel; and the wall had twelve foundations, in which were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. The wall was a hundred and forty and four cubits, and the length and the breadth of the city twelve thousand furlongs" (21:12, 14, 16, 17).

The signification of all these things may be seen explained in the little work, The New Jerusalem and its Doctrine, n. 1; where it is shown, that by Jerusalem is signified the church as to doctrine; by the wall, its truths of defence; by the gates, introductory truths; by the foundations, the knowledges upon which doctrine is founded; by twelve angels, and by twelve tribes, all truths and goods collectively; the same by the twelve apostles; and by the numbers twelve, one hundred and forty-four, and twelve thousand, all things and all persons.

[5] Moreover, he who knows that such things are signified by the twelve tribes may see the mystery involved in the names of the twelve tribes being engraved upon the precious stones of the Urim and Thummim, and also the signification of the breast-plate (Exodus 28:21; 39:10-15). (This arcanum may be seen unfolded in Arcana Coelestia 3858, 6335, 6640, 9863, 9865, 9873, 9874, 9905.) He may also see what is the signification of the twelve apostles sitting upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel (Matthew 19:28), namely, that the Lord alone will judge every one by truths from good (n. 2129, 6397); also what things are meant by the predictions of Israel the father, concerning his sons (Gen. 49); and also the meaning of many other passages in the Word where the tribes are mentioned (as in Isaiah 19:13; 49:6; 63:17; Jeremiah 10:16; Ezekiel 48:1, and following verses; Psalm 122:3-5; Deuteronomy 32:8; Numbers 24:2; Apoc. 5:9; 7:4-9; 11:9; 13:7; 14:6; and elsewhere).

[6] And again, the meaning of the Lord's words about the consummation of the age and His coming, may be seen:

"After the tribulation of those days the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven; and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven, with power and much glory" (Matthew 14:29, 30).

(These words may be seen explained in detail in the work, Heaven and Hell 1; and in the following passages in Arcana Coelestia, where it is shown that the twelve tribes of Israel represented, and thence signified, all truths and goods collectively, thus all things of faith and love, n. 3858, 3926, 4060, 6335; that similar things are signified by the twelve apostles, n. 2129, 3354, 3488, 3858, 6397; and that they have various significations according to the order in which they are named, n. 3862, 3926, 3939, 4603, 6337, 6640, 10335.)

Arcana Coelestia#3488

3488. The fact that these words spoken by the Lord and recorded in the gospel describe the second state of the perversion of the Church is evident from their internal sense, which is as follows,

All these are the beginning of sorrows means the things that have already happened, that is to say, the things that belong to the first state of the perversion of the Church, which, as has been stated, takes place when people cease to know any longer what goodness is and what truth is and start to argue with one another about them, with the result that falsities, and consequently heresies arise. The fact that such things perverted the Church before very many centuries had gone by is evident from the consideration that the Church in the Christian world became divided, and that its divisions were the result of opinions concerning goodness and truth; so that the Church began to be perverted a long way back in the past.

[2] At that time they will deliver you up to affliction, and will kill you means that goodness and truth will perish, at first through 'affliction'- that is, through perversion - and then through men 'killing' them, that is, through denial. For 'killing', when used in reference to goodness and truth, means that these are not being accepted, and thus that people deny them, see 3387, 3395. 'You' - the apostles - means all things of faith in their entirety, and so means the good of faith as well as the truth of faith; for the twelve apostles meant those things, see 577, 2089, 2129, 2130 (end), 3272, 3354. Here it is quite evident that they have that meaning, for the subject is not the preaching of the apostles but the close of the age.

[3] And you will be hated by all nations for My name's sake means contempt for and loathing of everything to do with goodness and truth. 'Hating' is holding in contempt and loathing, for these are manifestations of hatred. 'By all nations' means by persons under the influence of evil, for 'nations' refers to these, see 1259, 1260, 1849, 1868, 2588 (end). 'For My name's sake' is for the Lord's sake, and so for the sake of everything that comes from Him - 'the Lord's name' being everything in its entirety by which He is worshipped, and so everything belonging to His Church, see 2724, 3006.

[4] At that time many will stumble, and betray one another, and hate one another means hostility on account of those things. 'Many will stumble' means the hostility in itself - the Lord's Human being that against which the hostility is directed. That this will be a cause of offence or a stumbling-block is foretold in various places in the Word. 'Betray one another' is hostility towards one another arising out of falsity conflicting with truth. 'And hate one another' is hostility towards one another arising out of evil conflicting with good.

[5] And many false prophets will arise and will lead many astray means declarations of falsity - 'false prophets' meaning teachers of falsities, thus false doctrine, see 2534. 'And will lead many astray' means that there will be things that are the issue of that doctrine.

[6] And because iniquity is multiplied the charity of many will grow cold means charity together with faith breathing its last. 'Because iniquity is multiplied' means in keeping with falsities of faith. 'The charity of many will grow cold' means charity breathing its last; for the two - charity and faith - go together side by side. Where there is no faith there is no charity; and where there is no charity there is no faith. Charity however is that which receives faith, and the absence of charity is that which rejects faith. This is the origin of all falsity and of all evil.

[7] But he who endures to the end will be saved means the salvation of those who have charity. 'He who endures to the end' is the person who does not allow himself to be led astray, and so does not yield in times of temptation.

[8] And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole inhabited earth as a testimony to all nations means that the Christian world will be the first to come to know it. 'Will be preached' means that it will come to be known. 'This gospel of the kingdom' is this truth, that it really is so - 'gospel' being pronouncement, 'the kingdom' truth, for 'the kingdom' means truth, see 1672, 2547. 'In the whole inhabited earth' is the Christian world, 'the earth' being that region where the Church, and so the Christian world, is, see 662, 1066, 1068, 1262, 1733, 1850, 2117, 2118, 2928, 3355. Here the Church is called 'the inhabited earth' from the life of faith, that is, from the good that dwells in truth, for 'inhabiting' in the internal sense is living, and 'inhabitants' are the goods that dwell in truth, 1293, 2268, 2451, 2712, 3384. 'As a testimony' means to ensure that they know, and to prevent them pretending that they do not know. 'To all nations' means to the evil, 1259, 1260, 1849, 1868, 2588. For when people are under the influence of falsity and evil they no longer know what truth is or what good is; indeed they believe that falsity is truth, that evil is good, and vice versa. When the Church reaches this state, at that point the end will come. The words that follow next, to be explained in the Lord's Divine mercy in the preliminary section of the next chapter of Genesis, deal with that state of the Church which is called 'the abomination of desolation', which is the third state.
