1 Και θελεις καμει θυσιαστηριον εκ ξυλου σιττιμ, πεντε πηχων το μηκος και πεντε πηχων το πλατος· τετραγωνον θελει εισθαι το θυσιαστηριον· και το υψος αυτου τριων πηχων·

2 και θελεις καμει τα κερατα αυτου επι των τεσσαρων γωνιων αυτου· τα κερατα αυτου θελουσιν εισθαι εκ του αυτου και θελεις περικαλυψει αυτο με χαλκον.

3 Και θελεις καμει τους στακτοδοχους λεβητας αυτου και τα πτυαρια αυτου και τας λεκανας αυτου και τας κρεαγρας αυτου και τα πυροδοχα αυτου· χαλκινα θελεις καμει παντα τα σκευη αυτου.

4 Και θελεις καμει δι' αυτο χαλκινην εσχαραν δικτυωτης εργασιας· και επι του δικτυου θελεις καμει τεσσαρας κρικους χαλκινους επι των τεσσαρων γωνιων αυτου.

5 Και θελεις θεσει αυτην υπο την περιοχην του θυσιαστηριου κατωθεν, ωστε το δικτυον να ηναι μεχρι του μεσου του θυσιαστηριου.

6 Και θελεις καμει μοχλους δια το θυσιαστηριον, μοχλους εκ ξυλου σιττιμ, και θελεις περικαλυψει αυτους με χαλκον·

7 και οι μοχλοι θελουσι τεθη εντος των κρικων και θελουσιν εισθαι οι μοχλοι επι των δυο πλευρων του θυσιαστηριου, δια να βασταζωσιν αυτο.

8 Κοιλον σανιδωτον θελεις καμει αυτο, καθως εδειχθη εις σε επι του ορους· ουτω θελουσι καμει.

9 Και θελεις καμει την αυλην της σκηνης· απο το νοτιον μερος προς μεσημβριαν θελουσιν εισθαι παραπετασματα δια την αυλην εκ βυσσου κεκλωσμενης, το μηκος εκατον πηχων δια το εν πλευρον.

10 Και οι εικοσι στυλοι αυτης και τα εικοσι υποβασια τουτων θελουσιν εισθαι χαλκινα· τα αγκιστρα των στυλων και αι ζωναι αυτων αργυρα.

11 Και ομοιως κατα το βορειον πλευρον κατα μηκος θελουσιν εισθαι παραπετασματα, μηκος εκατον πηχων, και οι εικοσι στυλοι αυτων και τα εικοσι αυτων χαλκινα υποβασια· τα δε αγκιστρα των στυλων και αι ζωναι αυτων αργυρα.

12 Και δια το πλατος της αυλης κατα το δυτικον πλευρον θελουσιν εισθαι παραπετασματα πεντηκοντα πηχων· στυλοι αυτων δεκα και υποβασια αυτων δεκα.

13 Και το πλατος της αυλης κατα το ανατολικον πλευρον το προς ανατολας θελει εισθαι πεντηκοντα πηχων.

14 Και τα παραπετασματα του ενος μερους της πυλης θελουσιν εισθαι δεκαπεντε πηχων· στυλοι αυτων τρεις και υποβασια αυτων τρια.

15 Και εις το αλλο μερος θελουσιν εισθαι παραπετασματα δεκαπεντε πηχων· στυλοι αυτων τρεις και υποβασια αυτων τρια.

16 Δια δε την πυλην της αυλης θελει εισθαι καταπετασμα εικοσι πηχων, εκ κυανου και πορφυρου και κοκκινου και βυσσου κεκλωσμενης, κατεσκευασμενον με εργασιαν κεντητου· στυλοι αυτων τεσσαρες και υποβασια τουτων τεσσαρα.

17 Παντες οι στυλοι κυκλω της αυλης θελουσιν εισθαι εζωσμενοι με αργυρον, τα αγκιστρα αυτων αργυρα και τα υποβασια αυτων χαλκινα.

18 Το μηκος της αυλης θελει εισθαι εκατον πηχων και το πλατος εκατερωθεν πεντηκοντα και το υψος πεντε πηχων, εκ βυσσου κεκλωσμενης, και τα υποβασια αυτων χαλκινα.

19 Παντα τα σκευη της σκηνης δια πασαν την υπηρεσιαν αυτης και παντες οι πασσαλοι αυτης και παντες οι πασσαλοι της αυλης θελουσιν εισθαι χαλκινοι.

20 Και συ προσταξον τους υιους Ισραηλ να φερωσι προς σε καθαρον ελαιον απο ελαιας κοπανισμενας δια το φως, δια να καιη παντοτε ο λυχνος.

21 Εν τη σκηνη του μαρτυριου εξωθεν του καταπετασματος, το οποιον ειναι εμπροσθεν του μαρτυριου, ο Ααρων και οι υιοι αυτου θελουσι διαθεσει αυτον αφ' εσπερας εως πρωι εμπροσθεν του Κυριου· τουτο θελει εισθαι νομος παντοτεινος εις τους υιους Ισραηλ κατα τας γενεας αυτων.

10276. 'And you shall sanctify them, and they shall be the holy of holies' means consequently the inflow and presence of the Lord within the worship of the representative Church. This is clear from the meaning of 'being sanctified' as representing the Lord in respect of the Divine Human, and the reception of Divine Good and Divine Truth from Him, for the Lord alone is holy and therefore that alone is holy which emanates from Him, from which it is evident that 'being sanctified' also means the inflow and presence of the Lord within the worship of the representative Church;

'Being sanctified' means representing the Lord in respect of the Divine Human, see 9956, 9988, 10069.

It also means the reception of Divine Good and Divine Truth from Him, 8806, 9820, 10128.

The Lord alone is holy, and that alone is holy which emanates from Him, 9229, 9479, 9680, 9818.

Thus holy things among the Israelite and Jewish nation were holy in a representative fashion, 10149, and from the meaning of 'the holy of holies' as celestial Divine Good, dealt with in 10129.

[2] From all this it is evident that all those things which had been anointed were called 'the holy of holies' by virtue of the inflow and presence of the Lord's Divine Human. And whenever the Lord flows in and becomes present He does so by a path that is direct, and also in the lower heavens by one that is indirect, through celestial good, which is the inmost heaven's good. Therefore to the extent that the levels of good in the lower heavens contain and store celestial good, which is the good of love to the Lord, they are indeed good. This is why things which had been anointed were called 'the holy of holies'. Regarding the Lord's flowing in directly and indirectly, see in the places referred to in 9682, 9683.

[3] To have any knowledge of the nature of these things a person must know what a representation is and what a representative Church is. What they are has been shown extensively in the places referred to in 9229, 9280, 10030; but since few at the present day know what they are, let something more be said to shed further light on the subject. In the inmost heavens there exist among the angels affections for goodness and truth derived from the Lord, which compose those angels' life and bliss. These affections manifest themselves in the lowest heaven within outward forms, which are countless and infinitely various; whatever the eyes of those in that heaven behold there springs from them. These forms are representative of more internal things, which are affections for goodness and truth and are called celestial and spiritual things.

[4] Good spirits, who perceive the holy things of heaven within those representative forms existing as subjects 1 , have their inner feelings stirred by them. They see, for example, parks or gardens with countless species of trees and fruits, also rose gardens, lawns, fields with crops, houses, palaces, and very many other sights. All these correspond to the affections for goodness and truth which, derived from the Lord, exist in higher heavens. Representative forms also exist in these higher heavens, but they are immeasurably superior in perfection, delightfulness, and rapture to such forms in the lowest heaven. These representative forms are what the saying that no eye has ever seen such things refers to; and if any description of them were given it would surpass human belief.

[5] From all this it may be recognized what representative forms are. All those which had been established among the Israelite nation were similar to the ones in the lowest heaven, but had less perfection because they existed in the natural world. Such forms comprised the tent of meeting together with the ark, the table on which the loaves of the Presence were laid, the lampstand and its lamps, and the altar of incense; the garments of Aaron and his sons; at a later time, the temple together with the sanctuary in it, where the ark with the mercy-seat and cherubs above it was; the bronze sea, the lavers, and similar objects. More however, beyond numbering, appear in the lowest heaven; but these have greater excellence and perfection. That heaven was where the Lord showed Moses on Mount Sinai the things to be established among the Israelite nation, as is evident in Exodus 25:40; 26:30; 27:8, though Moses did not see them there with his bodily eyes but with those of his spirit.

[6] Further proof of the nature of representative forms lies in those things which were seen by prophets - by Daniel, by John in the Book of Revelation, and by all the rest. All the things which they saw conceal Divine spiritual and celestial realities within them. Without the internal sense to explain them those visions are unintelligible, as anyone may recognize.

[7] From all this it is again evident what a representative Church is.

This Church was established in the land of Canaan especially on account of the Word, in order that representative forms and objects carrying a spiritual meaning might be used in the writing of it, thus such things as existed among that nation, in their Church and in their land. For since most ancient times all places in the land of Canaan, all the mountains and rivers there, represented such things as existed in heaven, 3686, 4240, 4447, 4454, 5136, 6516; and so at a later time did the inheritances, tribes, and everything else. The literal sense of the Old Testament Word was composed of such things, to the end that it might be a kind of base in which more internal things terminated and on which they stood, like a building on its foundations, see 9360, 9824, 10044.

[8] Anyone who is intelligent may see from all this that the Word is most holy, that its literal sense is holy by virtue of its internal sense, and that when separated from this it is not holy. For the literal sense separated from the internal is like a person's outward [body] separated from his inward [soul], which is a lifeless statue; and it is like the outer covering of a tree, flower, fruit, or seed without their inward parts, and like the foundation without the house. Those therefore who adhere strictly to the sense of the letter of the Word and do not have or acquire for themselves from the Word teachings in keeping with its internal sense may be drawn into all kinds of heresy. This is why such people refer to the Word as a book of heresies. Sound doctrine drawn from the Word must absolutely shine before people and show them the way to go; those teachings are provided by the internal sense, and the person who is acquainted with them has the internal sense of the Word.

[9] Because the Jewish nation did not acknowledge the presence of any holiness in the Word except in its literal sense alone, which they separated completely from its internal sense, they sank into such darkness that they did not know the Lord when He came into the world. That nation is just the same at the present day; therefore although they live among Christians, they still do not as yet from the Word acknowledge the Lord. Right from the start that nation was interested in outward things but not their inner substance, see what has been shown in the places referred to in 9320(end), 9380. Unless therefore the Lord had come into the world and disclosed its inner contents, contact with the heavens through the Word would have been broken; and if that had been broken the human race on this planet would have perished. For no one can think anything at all that is true or do anything at all that is good except in heaven's strength, that is, the Lord's coming through heaven. The Word is what opens heaven.
