1 Und der HERR redete mit Mose und sprach:

2 Siehe, ich habe mit Namen berufen Bezaleel, den Sohn Uris, des Sohnes Hur, vom Stamme Juda,

3 und habe ihn erfüllt mit dem Geist Gottes, mit Weisheit und Verstand und Erkenntnis und mit allerlei Geschicklichkeit,

4 kunstreich zu arbeiten an Gold, Silber, Erz,

5 kunstreich Steine zu schneiden und einzusetzen, und kunstreich zu zimmern am Holz, zu machen allerlei Werk.

6 Und siehe, ich habe ihm zugegeben Oholiab, den Sohn Ahisamachs, vom Stamme Dan; und habe allerlei Weisen die Weisheit ins Herz gegeben, daß sie machen sollen alles, was ich dir geboten habe:

7 die Hütte des Stifts, die Lade des Zeugnisses, den Gnadenstuhl darauf und alle Geräte der Hütte,

8 den Tisch und sein Gerät, den feinen Leuchter und all sein Gerät, den Räucheraltar,

9 den Brandopferaltar mit allem seinem Geräte, das Handfaß mit seinem Fuß,

10 die Amtskleider und die heiligen Kleider des Priesters Aaron und die Kleider seiner Söhne, priesterlich zu dienen,

11 das Salböl und das Räuchwerk von Spezerei zum Heiligtum. Alles, was ich dir geboten habe, werden sie machen.

12 Und der HERR redete mit Mose und sprach:

13 Sage den Kindern Israel und sprich: Haltet meinen Sabbat; denn derselbe ist ein Zeichen zwischen mir und euch auf eure Nachkommen, daß ihr wisset, daß ich der HERR bin, der euch heiligt.

14 Darum so haltet meinen Sabbat; denn er soll euch heilig sein. Wer ihn entheiligt, der soll des Todes sterben. Denn wer eine Arbeit da tut, des Seele soll ausgerottet werden von seinem Volk.

15 Sechs Tage soll man arbeiten; aber am siebenten Tag ist Sabbat, die heilige Ruhe des HERRN. Wer eine Arbeit tut am Sabbattag, der soll des Todes sterben.

16 Darum sollen die Kinder Israel den Sabbat halten, daß sie ihn auch bei ihren Nachkommen halten zum ewigen Bund.

17 Er ist ein ewiges Zeichen zwischen mir und den Kindern Israel. Denn in sechs Tagen machte der HERR Himmel und Erde; aber am siebenten Tage ruhte er und erquickte sich.

18 Und da der HERR ausgeredet hatte mit Mose auf dem Berge Sinai, gab er ihm zwei Tafeln des Zeugnisses; die waren beschrieben mit dem Finger Gottes.

10189. 'On its two ribs' means with truths lying in one direction, that is to say, a joining together with them and preservation by means of them. This is clear from the meaning of 'the ribs', when used to mean the sides, as truths; for the sides that are called 'the ribs' face the south and the north, and 'the south' means truth dwelling in light, 9642, while 'the north' means truth dwelling in shade, 3708. But by 'the sides' which are properly the sides good is meant since these face the east and the west, and 'the east' means good set in clearness and 'the west' good set in obscurity, 3708, 9653. Therefore it says here,

Two rings of gold you shall make for it under the rim; on its two ribs you shall make them, on its two sides.

The fact that the sides which are properly the sides face the east and the west, whereas the sides which are called 'the ribs' face the south and the north is evident in Exodus 26:13, 26-27, 35 1 . Furthermore since the ribs serve to reinforce the chest truths giving support to good are meant by them.

[2] In heaven however the layout is such that to the right there are those who dwell in the light of truth, thus who are in the south, but to the left those who dwell in the shade of truth, thus who are in the north. Before one's face there are those whose perception of good is clear, thus who are in the east, but behind one's back there are those whose perception of good is dim, thus who are in the west. These angels dwelling in the regions of good constitute the Lord's celestial kingdom, but the others dwelling in the regions of truth constitute the Lord's spiritual kingdom. This is how the angels there, whichever way they turn, see everything to be laid out; for angels have the Lord, who is the East, unceasingly in front of their face. But the contrary is so with those in hell, for they have the Lord unceasingly behind their back.

[3] In the next life the four quarters are not determined, as they are in the world, by where fixed regions lie, but by ruling loves that remain fixed.

[4] For his love makes an angel or a spirit what he is, and where that love is, in that direction he turns. Those in whom love to the Lord and charity towards the neighbour reign, and therefore in whom faith is present, behold the Lord in front of themselves whichever way they turn their face and body. For the Lord turns them towards Himself; He enters them by the way from the east and keeps them fixed unceasingly on Himself. As a consequence - since their outward sight is under the control of the inward sight belonging to their understanding, and this inward sight is under the control of the love belonging to their will - their outward sight looks in the direction in which that love bears it. It is similar with people in the world so far as their interiors, which constitute their spirit, are concerned. Also, all in the next life are identified, every one, by the direction in which they turn.

As regards things of a spatial nature and locations in the next life, that they are of the same nature as those described above, and that they therefore mean states, see 2625, 2837, 3356, 3387, 4321, 4882, 5605, 7381, 9440, 9967, 10146.

脚注:

1. According to one rabbinic tradition the sides of the dwelling-place mentioned in Exodus 26:13 faced north and south.
