学习

   

1 Da arbeiteten Bezaleel und Oholiab und alle weisen Männer, denen der HERR Weisheit und Verstand gegeben hatte, zu wissen, wie sie allerlei Werk machen sollten zum Dienst des Heiligtums, nach allem, was der HERR geboten hatte.

2 Und Mose berief den Bezaleel und Oholiab und alle weisen Männer, denen der HERR Weisheit gegeben hatte in ihr Herz, alle, die sich freiwillig erboten und hinzutraten, zu arbeiten an dem Werke.

3 Und sie nahmen zu sich von Mose alle Hebe, die die Kinder Israel brachten zu dem Werke des Dienstes des Heiligtums, daß es gemacht würde. Denn sie brachten alle Morgen ihre willige Gabe zu ihm.

4 Da kamen alle Weisen, die am Werk des Heiligtums arbeiteten, ein jeglicher von seinem Werk, das sie machten,

5 und sprachen zu Mose: Das Volk bringt zu viel, mehr denn zum Werk dieses Dienstes not ist, das der HERR zu machen geboten hat.

6 Da gebot Mose, daß man rufen ließ durchs Lager: Niemand tue mehr zur Hebe des Heiligtums. Da hörte das Volk auf zu bringen.

7 Denn des Dinges war genug zu allerlei Werk, das zu machen war, und noch übrig.

8 Also machten alle weisen Männer unter den Arbeitern am Werk die Wohnung, zehn Teppiche von gezwirnter weißer Leinwand, blauem und rotem Purpur und Scharlach, und Cherubim daran von kunstreicher Arbeit.

9 Die Länge eines Teppichs war achtundzwanzig Ellen und die Breite vier Ellen, und waren alle in einem Maß.

10 Und er fügte je fünf Teppiche zu einem Stück zusammen, einen an den andern.

11 Und machte blaue Schleifen an jegliches Stück am Rande, wo die zwei Stücke sollten zusammengeheftet werden,

12 fünfzig Schleifen an jegliches Stück, daß eine Schleife der anderen gegenüberstünde.

13 Und machte fünfzig goldene Haken und heftete die Teppiche mit den Haken einen an den andern zusammen, daß es eine Wohnung würde.

14 Und er machte elf Teppiche von Ziegenhaaren, zur Hütte über die Wohnung,

15 dreißig Ellen lang und vier Ellen breit, alle in einem Maß.

16 Und fügte ihrer fünf zusammen auf einen Teil und sechs zusammen auf den andern Teil.

17 Und machte fünfzig Schleifen an jegliches Stück am Rande, wo die Stücke sollten zusammengeheftet werden.

18 Und machte je fünfzig eherne Haken, daß die Hütte damit zusammen in eins gefügt würde.

19 Und machte eine Decke über die Hütte von rötlichen Widderfellen und über die noch eine Decke von Dachsfellen.

20 Und machte Bretter zur Wohnung von Akazienholz, die stehen sollten,

21 ein jegliches zehn Ellen lang und anderthalb Ellen breit

22 und an jeglichem zwei Zapfen, damit eins an das andere gesetzt würde. Also machte er alle Bretter zur Wohnung,

23 daß der Bretter zwanzig gegen Mittag standen.

24 Und machte vierzig silberne Füße darunter, unter jeglich Brett zwei Füße an seine zwei Zapfen.

25 Also zur andern Seite der Wohnung, gegen Mitternacht, machte er auch zwanzig Bretter

26 mit vierzig silbernen Füßen, unter jeglichem Brett zwei Füße.

27 Aber hinten an der Wohnung, gegen Abend, machte er sechs Bretter

28 und zwei andere hinten an den zwei Ecken der Wohnung,

29 daß ein jegliches der beiden sich mit seinem Eckbrett von untenauf gesellte und oben am Haupt zusammenkäme mit einer Klammer,

30 daß der Bretter acht würden und sechzehn silberne Füße, unter jeglichem zwei Füße.

31 Und er machte Riegel von Akazienholz, fünf zu den Brettern auf der einen Seite der Wohnung

32 und fünf auf der andern Seite und fünf hintenan, gegen Abend.

33 Und machte den mittleren Riegel, daß er mitten an den Brettern hindurchgestoßen würde von einem Ende zum andern.

34 Und überzog die Bretter mit Gold; aber ihre Ringe machte er von Gold, daß man die Riegel darein täte, und überzog die Riegel mit Gold.

35 Und machte den Vorhang mit dem Cherubim daran künstlich von blauem und rotem Purpur, Scharlach und gezwirnter weißer Leinwand.

36 Und machte zu demselben vier Säulen von Akazienholz und überzog sie mit Gold, und ihre Haken von Gold; und goß dazu vier silberne Füße.

37 Und machte ein Tuch in der Tür der Hütte von blauem und rotem Purpur, Scharlach und gezwirnter weißer Leinwand, gestickt,

38 und fünf Säulen dazu mit ihren Haken, und überzog ihre Köpfe und Querstäbe mit Gold und fünf eherne Füße daran.

Apocalypse Revealed#814

学习本章节

  
/962  
  

814. 19:8 And it was granted her to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright. This symbolically means that those who will belong to the Lord's New Church are being instructed through the Word by the Lord in truths that are genuine and pure.

Being granted to her means to the wife, who symbolizes the Lord's New Church, namely, the New Jerusalem, as in no. 813 just above. To be arrayed means, symbolically, to be instructed in truths, inasmuch as garments symbolize truths (no. 166), and white garments genuine truths (no. 212). Fine linen, clean and bright, symbolically means glistening as a result of goodness, and pure as a result of truths. And because there is no pure truth from any other source than from the Lord through the Word, therefore this, too, is symbolically meant.

The fine linen is said to be clean and bright because cleanliness symbolizes something that is free of evil, thus something that glistens as a result of goodness, and brightness symbolizes something that is free of falsity, thus something pure as a result of truth.

Fine linen, or something made of fine linen, symbolizes genuine truth also in the following passages:

I clothed you (O Jerusalem) in embroidered cloth..., I clothed you with fine linen and covered you with silk... Thus you were adorned with gold and silver, and your clothing was of fine linen and silk... (Ezekiel 16:10, 13)

Fine linen with embroidery from Egypt was your sail. (Ezekiel 27:7)

The latter is said of Tyre, which symbolizes the church in respect to concepts of truth and goodness.

The hosts in heaven followed Him on white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. (Revelation 19:14)

Pharaoh's clothing Joseph "in garments of fine linen" (Genesis 41:42) has the same symbolic meaning.

Truth from the Word in their possession, though not internalized by them, is symbolized by the fine linen in Babylon in Revelation 18:12, 16, and by that possessed by the rich man in Luke 16:19.

Fine linen is also called cotton, so that this, too, symbolizes genuine truth, in the following:

You shall make (for Aaron) a checkered tunic of cotton, and you shall make the turban of cotton... (Exodus 28:39)

They made tunics of cotton... for Aaron and his sons... (Exodus 39:27)

You shall make the tabernacle... cotton interwoven with blue, purple, and scarlet double-dyed. (Exodus 26:1, cf. 36:8)

You shall make... hangings for the court of woven cotton... (Exodus 27:9, cf. 27:18; 38:9)

Also the screen... of the court...(with) woven cotton. (Exodus 38:18)

Apocalypse Revealed#166

学习本章节

  
/962  
  

166. "'Who have not defiled their garments.'" This symbolically means, who possess truths, and have not soiled their worship by evil practices and the falsities attendant on these.

Garments in the Word symbolize truths that clothe good, and in an opposite sense, falsities that clothe evil. For a person embodies either his goodness or his evilness. Truths or falsities are therefore his garments.

Angels and spirits all appear dressed in clothing that reflects the truths of their goodness or the falsities of their evilness - on which subject, see the book Heaven and Hell, published in London, nos. 177-182. It is apparent from this that not defiling their garments symbolizes their possessing truths and not soiling their worship by evil practices and the falsities attendant on these.

[2] It is apparent from the following passages that garments in the Word symbolize truths, and in an opposite sense, falsities:

Awake, awake! Put on your strength, O Zion; put on your beautiful garments, O Jerusalem... (Isaiah 52:1)

(Jerusalem), I clothed you in embroidered cloth, gave you sandals of badger skin, clothed you with fine linen..., and adorned you with ornaments... You were adorned with gold and silver, and your clothing was of fine linen, silk, and embroidered cloth..., (so that) you became exceedingly beautiful... But you took some of your garments and made for yourself multicolored high places, so as to play the harlot on them... You took your embroidered garments... and made for yourself male images with which you played the harlot. 1 (Ezekiel 16:10-18)

The Jewish Church is described here, as having been given truths, because they had the Word, but that they falsified them. To play the harlot means to falsify (no. 134).

[3] The king's daughter is all glorious within, (and) her clothing is woven with gold. She shall be brought to the King in embroidered garments. (Psalms 45:13-14)

The king's daughter is the church in relation to its affection for truth.

O daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet elegantly, and put ornamentation of gold on your apparel. (2 Samuel 1:24)

This is said of Saul because as a king he symbolized Divine truth (no. 20).

...I will visit judgment on the princes and the king's children, and on all clothed with foreign apparel. (Zephaniah 1:8)

(Your enemies) shall also strip you of your garments, and take away your adornments. (Ezekiel 23:26)

Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and was standing (thus) before the Angel, (who said) "Take away the filthy garments from him (and clothe him with other garments). (Zechariah 3:3-5)

...the king came in and saw the guests, and he saw a man... who did not have on a wedding garment. So he said to him, "Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment?" (Matthew 22:11-13)

A wedding garment is Divine truth from the Word.

[4] Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing... (Matthew 7:15)

No one puts a piece of cloth from a new garment on an old garment; otherwise the new one tears (the old), and the piece from the new one does not match the old. (Luke 5:36-37)

Because a garment symbolizes truth, therefore the Lord compares the truths of the previous church, which were external and representative of spiritual ones, to a piece of cloth belonging to an old garment, while comparing the truths of the new church, which were internal and spiritual, to a piece of cloth from a new garment.

...on the thrones... twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white garments. (Revelation 4:4)

(Those who stood) before the throne... in the presence of the Lamb (were) clothed with white robes..., and they washed their robes and made their robes white in the blood of the Lamb. (Revelation 7:9, 13-14)

...white robes were given to each (of those who were under the altar). (Revelation 6:11)

...the armies (of Him who sat on the white horse) followed Him..., clothed in fine linen, white and clean. (Revelation 19:14)

[5] Because angels symbolize Divine truths, therefore angels seen in the Lord's sepulchre appeared in white and shining garments (Matthew 28:3, Luke 24:4).

Because the Lord is Divine good and Divine truth, and truths are meant by garments, therefore when He was transfigured "His face shone like the sun, and His garments became [as white] as the light" (Matthew 17:2), or "blazing white (Luke 9:29), or "shining white, like snow, such that no launderer on earth can whiten them" (Mark 9:3).

Of the Ancient of Days, which also is the Lord, it is said that "His garment was as white as snow" (Daniel 7:9).

Moreover we find the following, too, said of the Lord:

He has anointed... all your garments with myrrh, aloes and cassia. (Psalms 45:7-8)

...He washed his clothing in wine, and his vesture in the blood of grapes. (Genesis 49:11)

Who is this who comes from Edom, having sprinkled his garments from Bozrah? This One honorable in His apparel...? ...Why are You red in Your apparel? Your garments as though of one who treads in the winepress...? Their victory is sprinkled upon My garments, and I have polluted all My vesture. (Isaiah 63:1-3)

This also is said of the Lord. His garments there are the Word's truths.

...He who sat on (the white horse)...was clothed with a garment dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. (Revelation 19:11, 13)

[6] From the symbolic meaning of garments it can be seen why the Lord's disciples put their garments upon the donkey and its colt when the Lord was ready to enter Jerusalem, and why the people spread their garments on the road (Matthew 21:7-9, Mark 11:7-8), thus what is symbolically meant by this verse in the Psalms,

They divided My garments..., and over My vesture they cast lots. (Psalms 22:18)

[7] The symbolism of garments makes it apparent moreover why the people rent their garments whenever someone spoke against the Divine truth of the Word (Isaiah 37:1 and elsewhere). Also why they washed their garments in order to purify themselves (Exodus 19:14, Leviticus 11:25, 40; 14:8-9).

Someone who knows what garments symbolize in general and in particular can know what the vestments of Aaron and his sons symbolized - the ephod, the robe, the lace tunic, the girdle, the breeches, and the turban.

Since light symbolizes Divine truth, and a garment likewise, therefore we find it said in the Psalms that Jehovah covers Himself "with light as a with garment" (Psalms 104:2).
