2 Mose第35章

学习

   

1 Und Mose versammelte die ganze Gemeinde der Kinder Israel und sprach zu ihnen: Dies sind die Worte, die Jehova geboten hat, sie zu tun:

2 Sechs Tage soll man Arbeit tun, aber am siebten Tage soll euch ein heiliger Tag sein, ein Sabbath der Ruhe dem Jehova; wer irgend an ihm eine Arbeit tut, soll getötet werden.

3 Ihr sollt am Tage des Sabbaths kein Feuer anzünden in allen euren Wohnungen.

4 Und Mose sprach zu der ganzen Gemeinde der Kinder Israel und sagte: Dies ist das Wort, das Jehova geboten hat, indem er sprach:

5 Nehmet von euch ein Hebopfer für Jehova; jeder, der willigen Herzens ist, soll es bringen, das Hebopfer Jehovas: Gold und Silber und Erz

6 und blauen und roten Purpur und Karmesin und Byssus und Ziegenhaar

7 und rotgefärbte Widderfelle und Dachsfelle und Akazienholz

8 und Öl zum Licht und Gewürze zum Salböl und zum wohlriechenden Räucherwerk

9 und Onyxsteine und Steine zum Einsetzen für das Ephod und für das Brustschild.

10 Und alle, die weisen Herzens sind unter euch, sollen kommen und alles machen, was Jehova geboten hat:

11 die Wohnung, ihr Zelt und ihre Decke, ihre Klammern und ihre Bretter, ihre Riegel, ihre Säulen und ihre Füße;

12 die Lade und ihre Stangen, den Deckel und den Scheidevorhang;

13 den Tisch und seine Stangen und alle seine Geräte und die Schaubrote;

14 und den Leuchter zum Licht und seine Geräte und seine Lampen und das Öl zum Licht;

15 und den Räucheraltar und seine Stangen und das Salböl und das wohlriechende Räucherwerk; und den Eingangsvorhang für den Eingang der Wohnung;

16 den Brandopferaltar und das eherne Gitter an demselben, seine Stangen und alle seine Geräte; das Becken und sein Gestell;

17 die Umhänge des Vorhofs, seine Säulen und seine Füße, und den Vorhang vom Tore des Vorhofs;

18 die Pflöcke der Wohnung und die Pflöcke des Vorhofs und ihre Seile;

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

20 Und die ganze Gemeinde der Kinder Israel ging von Mose hinweg.

21 Und sie kamen, ein jeder, den sein Herz trieb; und ein jeder, der willigen Geistes war, brachte das Hebopfer Jehovas für das Werk des Zeltes der Zusammenkunft und für all seine Arbeit und für die heiligen Kleider.

22 Und die Männer kamen mit den Weibern; ein jeder, der willigen Herzens war, brachte Nasenringe und Ohrringe und Fingerringe und Spangen, allerlei goldene Geräte; und jeder, der dem Jehova ein Webopfer an Gold webte.

23 Und ein jeder, bei dem sich blauer und roter Purpur fand, und Karmesin und Byssus und Ziegenhaar und rotgefärbte Widderfelle und Dachsfelle, brachte es.

24 Jeder, der ein Hebopfer an Silber und Erz hob, brachte das Hebopfer Jehovas; und jeder, bei dem sich Akazienholz fand zu allerlei Werk der Arbeit, brachte es.

25 Und alle Weiber, die weisen Herzens waren, spannen mit ihren Händen und brachten das Gespinst: den blauen und den roten Purpur, den Karmesin und den Byssus.

26 Und alle verständigen Weiber, die ihr Herz trieb, spannen das Ziegenhaar.

27 Und die Fürsten brachten Onyxsteine und Steine zum Einsetzen für das Ephod und für das Brustschild,

28 und das Gewürz und das Öl zum Licht und zum Salböl und zum wohlriechenden Räucherwerk.

29 Die Kinder Israel, alle Männer und Weiber, die willigen Herzens waren, um zu all dem Werke zu bringen, das Jehova durch Mose zu machen geboten hatte, brachten eine freiwillige Gabe dem Jehova.

30 Und Mose sprach zu den Kindern Israel: Sehet, Jehova hat Bezaleel, den Sohn Uris, des Sohnes Hurs, vom Stamme Juda, mit Namen berufen

31 und hat ihn mit dem Geiste Gottes erfüllt, in Weisheit, in Verstand und in Kenntnis und in jeglichem Werke;

32 und zwar um Künstliches zu ersinnen, zu arbeiten in Gold und in Silber und in Erz,

33 und im Schneiden von Steinen zum Einsetzen und im Holzschneiden, um zu arbeiten in jeglichem Kunstwerk;

34 und zu unterweisen hat er ihm ins Herz gelegt, ihm und Oholiab, dem Sohne Achisamaks, vom Stamme Dan.

35 Er hat sie mit Weisheit des Herzens erfüllt, um jegliches Werk des Künstlers und des Kunstwebers und des Buntwirkers zu machen, in blauem und rotem Purpur und Karmesin und Byssus, und des Webers; derer, die allerlei Werk machen und Künstliches ersinnen.

9777. '[And] all its pins and all the pins of the court, [they shall be made] from bronze' means everything that joins together and strengthens the two heavens, the middle and the lowest, through good. This is clear from the meaning of 'pins' as things that serve to join and strengthen, dealt with below; from the meaning of the dwelling-place, to which 'its' relates here, as heaven, in particular the middle heaven, dealt with in 9594, 9596, 9632; from the meaning of 'the court' as the lowest heaven, dealt with in 9741; and from the meaning of 'bronze' as external good, dealt with in 425, 1551.

[2] The reason why things that serve to join and strengthen are meant by 'pins' or pegs is that these articles do so. They have a similar meaning wherever else they are mentioned in the Word, as in Isaiah,

Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch out the curtains of your dwelling-places; do not stop [them]. Lengthen your ropes, and make your pegs firm. Isaiah 54:2.

This refers to the New Church founded by the Lord. 'Enlarging the place of the tent, and stretching out the curtains of the dwelling-places' stands for the enhancement of teachings that present what is good and true, and worship that springs from them, 9596. 'Long ropes' and 'the pegs' stand for a far-reaching connection among truths and full corroboration of them. As for the court, that this too had ropes, see Exodus 35:18; Numbers 3:37; 4:32.

[3] In Isaiah,

Look upon Zion. May your eyes see Jerusalem, a quiet dwelling-place, a tabernacle which is not overthrown. Its pegs will never be removed, and none of its ropes will be pulled away. Isaiah 33:20.

'Pegs' and 'ropes' here stand in like manner for what serves to corroborate or strengthen and join together. 'Peg' again stands for strengthening and joining together in Isaiah 41:7 and Jeremiah 10:4; but these verses refer to idols, by which teachings of what is false are meant, because they are the product of self-intelligence, 8941, 9424. A peg however on which something is hung means affixing and joining [one thing to another], in Isaiah 22:23-24, and in Ezekiel 15:3.

Arcana Coelestia#9594

9594. 'And you shall make the dwelling-place' means the second or middle heaven. This is clear from the meaning of 'the dwelling-place', when it refers to the Divine, as heaven - the middle or second heaven, strictly speaking. It is well known that there are three heavens, namely the inmost, middle, and lowest, or third, second, and first. All these heavens were represented by the tabernacle; the inmost or third heaven was represented by the ark where the Testimony was, the middle or second heaven by the dwelling-place where the table for the loaves of the Presence and the lampstand were, and the lowest or first heaven by the court. The reason why there are three heavens is that there are three degrees of life with the human being. (Human beings, who become angels after death, constitute heaven; angels have no other beginning, and the heavens spring from no other source.) The inmost degree of his life exists for the inmost heaven, the middle degree of life for the middle heaven, and the lowest for the lowest heaven. And because the human being is like this, or has been so formed, and heaven springs from the human race, there are three heavens.

[2] These degrees of life with a person are opened up in successive stages. The first degree is opened up by a life led in accord with what is right and fair, the second degree by a life in accord with the truths of faith drawn from the Word and with forms of the good of charity towards the neighbour that follow on from those truths, and the third degree by a life in accord with the good of mutual love and the good of love to the Lord. These virtues are the means by which those three degrees of life with a person, and so the three heavens with him, are opened up in successive stages. But it should be recognized that to the extent that a person departs from good in life and moves towards evil in life those degrees are closed, that is, the heavens with him are closed; for just as good in life opens them, so evil in life closes them. This being so, all who are steeped in evil are outside heaven, thus are in hell. It should also be recognized that with some people - since the heavens with a person are opened up in successive stages according to the good present in his life, as stated above - the first heaven and not the second is opened up; that with some others the second heaven and not the third is opened up; but that the third heaven is opened up solely with those governed by good in life springing from love to the Lord. For the human being is heaven in its smallest form, and has been created so as to conform to an image of heaven and of the world, see the places referred to in 9279.

[3] There is therefore an inmost heaven, represented by the ark of the Testimony, which was the subject in the previous chapter; a middle heaven, represented by the dwelling-place, which is the subject in the present chapter; and a lowest heaven, represented by the court, which is the subject in the next chapter. Heaven is called God's dwelling-place because what is Divine and the Lord's dwells there; for Divine Truth emanating from the Lord's Divine Good is what makes heaven, indeed gives life to the angels there. And since the Lord dwells with angels in that which comes from Him, 9338 (end), heaven is called God's dwelling-place, and the actual Divine Truths emanating from Divine Good, which angels or angelic communities are recipients of, are called dwellings, as in David,

Send out Your light and Your truth; let them lead me, let them lead me to [Your] holy mountain and to Your dwellings, that I may go in to the altar of God, to God ... Psalms 43:3-4.

In the same author,

There is a river whose streams will make glad the city of God, the holy place of the dwellings of the Most High. Psalms 46:4.

In the same author,

Down to the ground 1 they have profaned the dwelling-place of Your name. Psalms 74:7.

In the same author,

How lovely are Your dwellings, O Jehovah! Psalms 84:1.

[4] The fact that the Divine realities which emanate from the Lord's Divine Human are what are rightly called 'dwellings', as a result of which heaven itself is called 'the dwelling-place', is also clear in David,

He swore to Jehovah, he made a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob, Surely I will not give sleep to my eyes, until I find a place for Jehovah, the dwelling-places for the Mighty One of Jacob. Behold, we heard of Him in Ephrathah, we found Him in the fields of the wood. We will enter His dwelling-places. Psalms 132:2, 4-7.

'The Mighty One of Jacob' is the Lord's Divine Human, 6425. 'Ephrathah', where He was to be found, is Bethlehem where He was born, Genesis 35:19; 48:7; Micah 5:2; Matthew 2:5-6. 'The fields of the wood' are the forms of good composing the Church among gentiles.

[5] In Ezekiel,

They will dwell in the land which I gave to My servant Jacob. They will dwell in it, they [and their sons] and their sons' sons forever. And David My servant will be their prince forever. I will make with them a covenant of peace; it will be an eternal covenant with them. And I will set My sanctuary in their midst forever; so shall My dwelling-place be among them. Ezekiel 37:25-27.

'David, who will be their prince forever' stands for the Lord, 1888; 'the sanctuary' (sanctuarium) stands for the Lord's Divine Human, since He is the source of all holiness (sanctum), 3210, 9229, so that 'dwelling-place' stands for heaven and for the Church, where the Lord is.

[6] In Jeremiah,

Thus said Jehovah, Behold, I will bring back the captivity 2 of the tents of Jacob, and will have compassion on his dwellings, that the city may be built upon its mound. Jeremiah 30:18.

'Bringing back the captivity of the tents of Jacob' stands for restoring the external Church's forms of good and truths which had been destroyed, 'having compassion on his dwellings' for restoring the internal Church's truths, 'the city which was to be built upon its mound' for doctrinal teachings about the truth, 2449, 2943, 3216, 4492, 4493.

[7] How the Lord dwells in the heavens may be seen from what has been shown previously regarding the Lord, that is to say, where it has been shown that the Lord's Divine Human is the Sun, the source of heat and light in the heavens. The heat radiating from the Lord as the Sun is love, while the light is faith. The Lord therefore dwells with those who receive from Him the good of love and the truth of faith, which are the heat and light of life; and how fully He is present depends on their degree of receptivity.
