1 Und Mose versammelte die ganze Gemeine der Kinder Israel und sprach zu ihnen: Das ist's, das der HERR geboten hat, das ihr tun sollt:

2 Sechs Tage sollt ihr arbeiten; den siebenten Tag aber sollt ihr heilig halten, einen Sabbat der Ruhe des HERRN. Wer darinnen arbeitet, soll sterben.

3 Ihr sollt kein Feuer anzünden am Sabbattage in allen euren Wohnungen.

4 Und Mose sprach zu der ganzen Gemeine der Kinder Israel: Das ist's, das der HERR geboten hat:

5 Gebt unter euch Hebopfer dem HERRN, also daß das Hebopfer des HERRN ein jeglicher williglich bringe, Gold, Silber, Erz,

6 gelbe Seide, Scharlaken, Rosinrot, weiße Seide und Ziegenhaar,

7 rötlich Widderfell, Dachsfell und Föhrenholz,

8 Öl zur Lampe und Spezerei zur Salbe und zu gutem Räuchwerk,

9 Onyx und eingefaßte Steine zum Leibrock und zum Schildlein.

10 Und wer unter euch verständig, ist, der komme und mache, was der HERR geboten hat:

11 nämlich die Wohnung mit ihrer Hütte und Decke, Rinken, Brettern, Riegeln, Säulen und Füßen;

12 die Lade mit ihren Stangen, den Gnadenstuhl und Vorhang;

13 den Tisch mit seinen Stangen und alle seinem Geräte und die Schaubrote;

14 den Leuchter, zu leuchten, und sein Gerät und seine Lampen und das Öl zum Licht;

15 den Räuchaltar mit seinen Stangen, die Salbe und Spezerei zum Räuchwerk; das Tuch vor der Wohnung Tür;

16 den Brandopferaltar mit seinem ehernen Gitter, Stangen und alle seinem Gerät; das Handfaß mit seinem Fuße;

17 den Umhang des Vorhofs mit seinen Säulen und Füßen und das Tuch des Tors am Vorhof;

18 die Nägel der Wohnung und des Vorhofs mit ihren Säulen

19 die Kleider des Amts zum Dienst im Heiligen, die heiligen Kleider Aarons, des Priesters, mit den Kleidern seiner Söhne zum Priestertum.

20 Da ging die ganze Gemeine der Kinder Israel aus von Mose.

21 Und alle, die es gerne und williglich gaben, kamen und brachten das Hebopfer dem HERRN zum Werk der Hütte des Stifts und zu alle seinem Dienst und zu den heiligen Kleidern.

22 Es brachten aber beide, Mann und Weib, wer es williglich tat, Hefte, Ohrenrinken, Ringe und Spangen und allerlei gülden Gerät. Dazu brachte jedermann Gold zur Webe dem HERRN.

23 Und wer bei ihm fand gelbe Seide, Scharlaken, Rosinrot, weiße Seide, Ziegenhaar, rötlich Widderfell und Dachsfell, der brachte es.

24 Und wer Silber und Erz hub, der brachte es zur Hebe dem HERRN. Und wer Föhrenholz bei ihm fand, der brachte es zu allerlei Werk des Gottesdienstes.

25 Und welche verständige Weiber waren, die wirkten mit ihren Händen und brachten ihr Werk von gelber Seide, Scharlaken, Rosinrot und weißer Seide.

26 Und welche Weiber solche Arbeit konnten und willig dazu waren, die wirkten Ziegenhaar.

27 Die Fürsten aber brachten Onyx und eingefaßte Steine zum Leibrock und zum Schildlein

28 und Spezerei und Öl zu den Lichtern und zur Salbe und zu gutem Räuchwerk.

29 Also brachten die Kinder Israel williglich, beide Mann und Weib, zu allerlei Werk, das der HERR geboten hatte durch Mose, daß man's machen sollte.

30 Und Mose sprach zu den Kindern Israel: Sehet, der HERR hat mit Namen berufen den Bezaleel, den Sohn Uris, des Sohns Hurs, vom Stamm Juda,

31 und hat ihn erfüllet mit dem Geist Gottes, daß er weise, verständig, geschickt sei zu allerlei Werk,

32 künstlich zu arbeiten am Gold, Silber und Erz,

33 Edelstein schneiden und einsetzen, Holz zimmern, zu machen allerlei künstliche Arbeit.

34 Und hat ihm sein Herz unterweiset samt Ahaliab, dem Sohne Ahisamachs, vom Stamm Dan.

35 Er hat ihr Herz mit Weisheit erfüllet, zu machen allerlei Werk, zu schneiden, wirken und zu sticken mit gelber Seide, Scharlaken, Rosinrot und weißer Seide und mit Weben, daß sie machen allerlei Werk und künstliche Arbeit erfinden.

1947. 'Because Jehovah has hearkened to your affliction' means since it was submitting itself. This is clear from what has been stated above in 1937 about 'humiliating oneself and flinging oneself down' as meaning submitting oneself beneath the controlling power of the internal man, which submission was discussed there and was shown to consist in self-compulsion. It was also shown that in self-compulsion there is freedom, that is, what is willing and spontaneous, and that this distinguishes self-compulsion from being compelled. It was also shown that without this freedom, or willingness and spontaneity, a person cannot possibly be reformed and receive any heavenly proprium; also that though the contrary seems to be the case, there is more freedom in times of temptation than there is outside of them. Indeed at such times freedom increases as assaults are made by evils and falsities and it is consolidated by the Lord in order that a heavenly proprium may be given to the person. For that reason also the Lord is closer in times of temptation. It was shown as well that the Lord in no way compels anybody. No one who is compelled to think that which is true and to do that which is good is reformed, but instead thinks all the more what is false and wills all the more what is evil. This is so with all compulsion, as may also become clear from all the experience and lessons of life, which when learned prove two things - first, that human consciences will not allow themselves to be coerced, and second, that we strive after the forbidden.

[2] Furthermore everyone who is not free desires to become so, for this is his life. From this it is evident that nothing is in any way pleasing to the Lord that is not done in freedom, that is, spontaneously or willingly. For when anyone worships the Lord under circumstances in which he is not free he worships Him with nothing of himself. In his case that which moves the external is the external, that is, it is moved under compulsion - the internal being non-existent, or else incompatible, and even contradictory. When a person is being regenerated he compels himself from the freedom the Lord imparts to him, and humbles, and indeed afflicts, his rational, so that it may submit itself, and in consequence he receives a heavenly proprium. This proprium is then gradually perfected by the Lord and it becomes more and more free, so that as a result it becomes the affection for good and for truth deriving from that good, and possesses delight. And in that affection and delight there is happiness such as the angels experience. This freedom is what the Lord Himself is referring to in John.

The truth makes you free. If the Son makes you free, you are truly free. John 8:32, 36. 1

[3] What this freedom is, is totally unknown to those who do not have conscience, for they identify freedom with feelings of being at liberty and without restraint to think and utter what is false, and to will and do what is evil, and not to control and humble, still less to afflict, those feelings. Yet this is the complete reverse of freedom, as the Lord again teaches in the same place,

Everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin. John 8:34.

People acquire this slave-like freedom from the hellish spirits who reside with them and who inject it into them. When the life of those hellish spirits takes possession of them so do the loves and desires of those same spirits; for an unclean and utterly disgusting delight blows upon them, and being carried away so to speak in a stream they imagine themselves to be in freedom; but it is hellish freedom. The difference between this hellish freedom and heavenly freedom is that the former spells death and drags them down into hell, while the latter, that is, heavenly freedom, promises life and lifts them up to heaven.

[4] That all true internal worship springs from freedom, not from compulsion, and that unless it springs from freedom it is not internal worship, is clear from the Word, from the sacrifices - free-will, votive, and peace or eucharistic - which were called offerings and oblations, mentioned in Numbers 15:3 and following verses; Deuteronomy 12:6; 16:10-11; 23:23; and elsewhere. In David,

With a free-will offering I will sacrifice to You; I will confess Your name, O Jehovah, for it is good. Psalms 54:6.

From the thruma, 2 or the collection which the people were to contribute towards the Tabernacle and sacred vestments, referred to in Moses,

Speak to the children of Israel and let them receive for Me a collection; from every man whose heart makes him willing you shall receive My collection. Exodus 25:2.

And elsewhere in Moses,

Everyone who is willing in heart shall bring it, Jehovah's collection. Exodus 35:5.

[5] The humbling of the rational man, or affliction of it - as stated, from freedom - was also represented by the affliction souls underwent during festivals, referred to in Moses,

It shall be a statute to you for ever: in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you shall afflict your souls. Leviticus 16:29.

And elsewhere in Moses,

On the tenth day of the seventh month is the day of atonement; it shall be a holy convocation for you, and you shall afflict your souls. Every soul who does not afflict himself on that very day shall be cut off from his peoples. Leviticus 23:27, 29.

It is for this reason that unleavened bread in which no fermentation has taken place is called the bread of affliction in Deuteronomy 16:2-3. Affliction is referred to in David in the following way,

O Jehovah, who will sojourn in Your tent? Who will dwell on Your holy mountain? He who walks blameless and performs righteousness, who swears to the affliction of himself and changes not. Psalms 15:1-2, 4.

[6] That 'affliction' is the taming and subduing of evils and falsities rising up from the external man into the rational man may become clear from what has been stated. Thus it is not any reduction of oneself to poverty and misery - not a renunciation of bodily enjoyments - that is meant by affliction. No taming and subduing of evil can result from doing that; indeed it may give rise to an additional evil, namely the desire to receive merit for such a renunciation; and what is more, man's freedom suffers, in which alone, as its ground, the good and truth of faith is able to be sown. Affliction also means temptation; see what has been said already in 1846.
