1 Die Wohnung sollst du machen von zehn Teppichen, von gezwirnter, weißer Leinwand, von blauem und rotem Purpur und von Scharlach. Cherubim sollst du daran machen von kunstreicher Arbeit.

2 Die Länge eines Teppichs soll achtundzwanzig Ellen sein, die Breite vier Ellen, und sollen alle zehn gleich sein.

3 Und sollen je fünf zu einem Stück zusammengefügt sein, einer an den andern.

4 Und sollst Schleifen machen von blauem Purpur an jegliches Stück am Rand, wo die zwei Stücke sollen zusammengeheftet werden;

5 fünfzig Schleifen an jegliches Stück, daß eine Schleife der andern gegenüberstehe.

6 Und sollst fünfzig goldene Haken machen, womit man die Teppiche zusammenheftet, einen an den andern, auf daß es eine Wohnung werde.

7 Du sollst auch eine Decke aus Ziegenhaar machen zur Hütte über die Wohnung von elf Teppichen.

8 Die Länge eines Teppichs soll dreißig Ellen sein, die Breite aber vier Ellen, und sollen alle elf gleich groß sein.

9 Fünf sollst du aneinander fügen und sechs auch aneinander, daß du den sechsten Teppich zwiefältig machst vorn an der Hütte.

10 Und sollst an jegliches Stück fünfzig Schleifen machen am Rand, wo die Stücke sollen zusammengeheftet werden.

11 Und sollst fünfzig eherne Haken machen und die Haken in die Schleifen tun, daß die Hütte zusammengefügt und eine Hütte werde.

12 Aber vom Überlangen an den Teppichen der Hütte sollst du einen halben Teppich lassen überhangen hinten an der Hütte

13 und auf beiden Seiten je eine Elle, daß das Überlange sei an der Hütte Seiten und auf beiden Seiten sie bedecke.

14 ber diese Decke sollst du eine Decke machen von rötlichen Widderfellen, dazu über sie eine Decke von Dachsfellen.

15 Du sollst auch Bretter machen zu der Wohnung von Akazienholz, die stehen sollen.

16 Zehn Ellen lang soll ein Brett sein und anderthalb Ellen breit.

17 Zwei Zapfen soll ein Brett haben, daß eins an das andere könne gesetzt werden. Also sollst du alle Bretter der Wohnung machen.

18 Ihrer zwanzig sollen stehen gegen Mittag.

19 Die sollen vierzig silberne Füße unten haben, je zwei Füße unter einem jeglichen Brett an seinen zwei Zapfen.

20 Also auf der andern Seite gegen Mitternacht sollen auch zwanzig Bretter stehen

21 und vierzig silberne Füße, je zwei Füße unter jeglichem Brett.

22 Aber hinten an der Wohnung gegen Abend sollst du sechs Bretter machen;

23 dazu zwei Bretter hinten an die zwei Ecken der Wohnung,

24 daß ein jegliches der beiden sich mit seinem Eckbrett von untenauf geselle und oben am Haupt gleich zusammenkomme mit einer Klammer;

25 daß es acht Bretter seien mit ihren silbernen Füßen, deren sollen sechzehn sein, je zwei unter einem Brett.

26 Und sollst Riegel machen von Akazienholz, fünf zu den Brettern auf einer Seite der Wohnung

27 und fünf zu den Brettern auf der andern Seite der Wohnung und fünf zu den Brettern hinten an der Wohnung gegen Abend.

28 Und sollst den mittleren Riegel mitten an den Brettern hindurchstoßen und alles zusammenfassen von einem Ende zu dem andern.

29 Und sollst die Bretter mit Gold überziehen und ihre Ringe von Gold machen, daß man die Riegel darein tue.

30 Und die Riegel sollst du mit Gold überziehen. Und also sollst du denn die Wohnung aufrichten nach der Weise, wie du gesehen hast auf dem Berge.

31 Du sollst einen Vorhang machen von blauem und rotem Purpur, Scharlach und gezwirnter weißer Leinwand; und sollst Cherubim daran machen von kunstreicher Arbeit.

32 Und sollst ihn hängen an vier Säulen von Akazienholz, die mit Gold überzogen sind und goldene Haken und vier silberne Füße haben.

33 Und sollst den Vorhang hängen unter die Haken, und die Lade des Zeugnisses innen hinter den Vorhang setzen, daß er euch eine Scheidewand sei zwischen dem Heiligen und dem Allerheiligsten.

34 Und sollst den Gnadenstuhl tun auf die Lade des Zeugnisses in dem Allerheiligsten.

35 Den Tisch aber setze außen vor den Vorhang und den Leuchter dem Tisch gegenüber, mittagswärts in der Wohnung, daß der Tisch stehe gegen Mitternacht.

36 Und sollst ein Tuch machen in die Tür der Hütte, gewirkt von blauem und rotem Purpur, Scharlach und gezwirnter weißer Leinwand.

37 Und sollst dem Tuch fünf Säulen machen von Akazienholz, mit Gold überzogen, mit goldene Haken, und sollst ihnen fünf eherne Füße gießen.

Arcana Coelestia#9466

9466. 'And violet' means the celestial love of truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'violet' as the celestial love of truth, the reason why 'violet' has this meaning being that it is a celestial colour, and by this colour truth from a celestial origin is meant, that is, truth springing from the good of love to the Lord. This good predominates in the inmost heaven, revealing itself in the middle or second heaven as the colours purple and violet. The actual good reveals itself as purple, and the truth springing from it as violet. For when colours appear in the next life, and in heaven itself, they are most beautiful ones; and they all have their origin in goodness and truth. For the sphere of affections for goodness and truth is revealed to the eyes of angels and of spirits also by means of colours, specific things being revealed by means of objects variously coloured, and also to their nostrils by means of odours. For every celestial reality belonging to good or spiritual reality belonging to truth is represented in the lower heavens by means of the kinds of things that appear in the natural order, and by this means is revealed to the actual external senses of spirits and angels in those heavens. The reason why the spheres of affection for goodness and truth are revealed visually by means of colours is that colours are modifications of heavenly light, and so of intelligence and wisdom, see 4530, 4677, 4742, 4922.

[2] This now explains why the materials that were to be gathered together for the tabernacle and Aaron's garments included violet, purple, twice-dyed scarlet, and skins of red rams; for the tabernacle represented the Lord's heaven, the materials which were used to construct and cover it represented the celestial and spiritual realities that belong to goodness and truth, and Aaron's garments had a like representation, 9457. It explains why the veil within which the ark of the Testimony was placed was woven from violet, purple, twice-dyed scarlet, and fine linen thread, Exodus 26:31, as likewise was the covering for the door of the tent, Exodus 26:36, and the covering for the gate of the court as well, Exodus 27:16, and why the loops on the edge of the curtain were made of violet, Exodus 26:4. It also explains why the ephod was made of gold, violet, purple, twice-dyed scarlet, and linen thread woven together, as was the breastplate of judgement, Exodus 28:6, 15.

[3] 'Violet' means the celestial love of truth, and 'garments made of violet' cognitions or knowledge of truth present as a result of that love, in Ezekiel,

Fine linen with embroidered work from Egypt was your sail, that it might be to you an ensign; violet and purple from the islands of Elishah was your covering. They were your traders with choice wares, 1 with balls of violet, and embroidery, and with chests of precious garments. Ezekiel 27:7, 24.

This refers to Tyre, by which cognitions of truth and good are meant, 1201. Knowledge and understanding acquired from these is described by 'embroidered work from Egypt', and by 'violet and purple from the islands of Elishah'. 'Embroidered work from Egypt' is factual knowledge of truth, and 'violet and purple from the islands of Elishah' is an understanding of truth and good.

[4] In the same prophet,

Two women, the daughters of one mother, in their youth committed whoredom in Egypt - Oholah and Oholibah. Oholah committed whoredom under Me and doted on the Assyrians her neighbours - clothed in violet, governors and leaders, horsemen riding on horses. Ezekiel 23:2-6.

'Oholah' stands for Samaria, and 'Oholibah' for Jerusalem, Samaria in this instance being the corrupted spiritual Church. 'Committing whoredom in Egypt' means falsifying truths by means of factual knowledge, 'doting on the Assyrians her neighbours' stands for having a love of reasonings based on those falsifications, and 'clothed in violet' stands for ideas which look like truth springing from good because they are derived from the literal sense of the Word interpreted wrongly.

[5] Something similar occurs in Jeremiah,

Beaten silver is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the smith and of the hands of the molder. Their clothing is violet and purple. These are all the work of the wise. Jeremiah 10:9.

This refers to the idols of the house of Israel, by which false teachings, supported by distortions of the outward sense of the Word, are meant, 9424. 'The work of the smith and of the hands of the molder', and also 'these are all the work of the wise', stand for the fact that they are the product of self-intelligence. 'Silver from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz' stands for their seeming to outward appearance to be true and good because they are taken from the Word; and much the same is meant by 'violet and purple' of which their clothing consisted.

[6] In John,

I saw horses in the vision, and those seated on them had breastplates of fire and violet and brimstone, by whom a third part of mankind was killed. Revelation 9:17-18.

'Horses' and 'those seated on them' stand for a topsy-turvy and corrupted understanding of truth. 'Breastplates of fire, violet, and brimstone' stands for defence of falsities that arise from the evils of devilish kinds of love. In this instance therefore 'fire' stands for the hellish love of evil, and 'violet' for the hellish love of falsity. They are accordingly used in the contrary sense; for the majority of things in the Word also have a contrary meaning.

9 According to all that I show you, the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all of its furniture, even so you shall make it.

10 "They shall make an ark of acacia wood. Its length shall be two and a half cubits, its breadth a cubit and a half, and a cubit and a half its height.

11 You shall overlay it with pure gold. You shall overlay it inside and outside, and you shall make a gold molding around it.

18 You shall make two cherubim of hammered gold. You shall make them at the two ends of the mercy seat.

19 Make one cherub at the one end, and one cherub at the other end. You shall make the cherubim on its two ends of one piece with the mercy seat.

20 The cherubim shall spread out their wings upward, covering the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces toward one another. The faces of the cherubim shall be toward the mercy seat.

21 You shall put the mercy seat on top of the ark, and in the ark you shall put the testimony that I will give you.

22 There I will meet with you, and I will tell you from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim which are on the ark of the testimony, all that I command you for the children of Israel.

23 "You shall make a table of acacia wood. Two cubits shall be its length, and a cubit its breadth, and one and a half cubits its height.

25 You shall make a rim of a handbreadth around it. You shall make a golden molding on its rim around it.

26 You shall make four rings of gold for it, and put the rings in the four corners that are on its four feet.

27 the rings shall be close to the rim, for places for the poles to carry the table.

28 You shall make the poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold, that the table may be carried with them.

29 You shall make its dishes, its spoons, its ladles, and its bowls to pour out offerings with. You shall make them of pure gold.

30 You shall set bread of the presence on the table before me always.

31 "You shall make a lampstand of pure gold. Of hammered work shall the lampstand be made, even its base, its shaft, its cups, its buds, and its flowers, shall be of one piece with it.

32 There shall be six branches going out of its sides: three branches of the lampstand out of its one side, and three branches of the lampstand out of its other side;

33 three cups made like almond blossoms in one branch, a bud and a flower; and three cups made like almond blossoms in the other branch, a bud and a flower, so for the six branches going out of the lampstand;

34 and in the lampstand four cups made like almond blossoms, its buds and its flowers;

35 and a bud under two branches of one piece with it, and a bud under two branches of one piece with it, and a bud under two branches of one piece with it, for the six branches going out of the lampstand.

36 Their buds and their branches shall be of one piece with it, all of it one beaten work of pure gold.

37 You shall make its lamps seven, and they shall light its lamps to give light to the space in front of it.

38 Its snuffers and its snuff dishes shall be of pure gold.

39 It shall be made of a talent of pure gold, with all these accessories.

40 See that you make them after their pattern, which has been shown to you on the mountain.
