1 A hajlékot pedig tíz kárpitból csináld: sodrott lenbõl, és kék, és bíborpiros, és karmazsin színûbõl, Kérubokkal, mestermunkával készítsd azokat.

2 Egy-Egy kárpit hossza huszonnyolcz sing legyen, Egy-Egy kárpit szélessége pedig négy sing; Egy mértéke legyen mindenik kárpitnak.

3 Öt kárpit legyen egymással egybefoglalva, ismét öt kárpit egymással egybefoglalva.

4 És csinálj hurkokat kék lenbõl az egyik kárpit szélén, a mely az egybefoglaltak között szélrõl van; ugyanezt csináld a szélsõ kárpit szélével a másik egybefoglalásban is.

5 Ötven hurkot csinálj az egyik kárpiton; Ötven hurkot csinálj ama kárpit szélén is, a mely a másik egybefoglalásban van; egyik hurok a másiknak általellenében legyen.

6 Csinálj ötven arany horgocskát is, és e horgocskákkal foglald össze egyik kárpitot a másikkal, hogy a hajlék egygyé legyen.

7 Ezután csinálj kecskeszõr kárpitokat sátorul a hajlék fölé; tizenegy kárpitot csinálj ilyet.

8 Egy kárpit hossza harmincz sing legyen, szélessége pedig Egy kárpitnak négy sing; Egy mértéke legyen a tizenegy kárpitnak.

9 És foglald egybe az öt kárpitot külön, és a hat kárpitot külön; a hatodik kárpitot pedig kétrét hajtsd a sátor elejére.

10 És csinálj ötven hurkot az egyik kárpit szélén, a mely az egybefoglaltak között szélrõl van; és ötven hurkot a kárpit szélén a másik egybefoglalásban is.

11 Csinálj ötven rézhorgocskát is, és akaszd a horgocskákat a hurkokba, és foglald egybe a sátort, hogy egygyé legyen.

12 A sátor kárpitjának fölösleges része, a fölösleges kárpitnak fele csüggjön alá a hajlék hátulján.

13 Egy singnyi pedig egyfelõl, és egy singnyi másfelõl, abból, a mi a sátor kárpitjainak hosszában fölösleges, bocsáttassék alá a hajlék oldalain egyfelõl is, másfelõl is, hogy befedje azt.

14 Csinálj a sátornak takarót is veresre festett kosbõrökbõl, és e fölé is egy takarót borzbõrökbõl.

15 Csinálj a hajlékhoz deszkákat is sittim-fából, felállogatva.

16 A deszka hossza tíz sing legyen; egy-egy deszka szélessége pedig másfél sing.

17 Egy-Egy deszkának két csapja legyen, egyik a másiknak megfelelõ; így csináld a hajlék minden deszkáját.

18 A deszkákat pedig így csináld a hajlékhoz: húsz deszkát a déli oldalra, délfelé.

19 A húsz deszka alá pedig negyven ezüst talpat csinálj, két talpat egy-egy deszka alá, annak két csapjához képest; megint két talpat egy-egy deszka alá, a két csapjához képest.

20 A hajlék másik oldalául is, észak felõl húsz deszkát.

21 És azokhoz is negyven ezüst talpat; két talpat egy deszka alá, megint két talpat egy deszka alá.

22 A hajlék nyugoti oldalául pedig csinálj hat deszkát.

23 A hajlék szegleteiül is csinálj két deszkát a két oldalon.

24 Kettõsen legyenek alólról kezdve, felül pedig együtt legyenek egy karikába foglalva; ilyen legyen mindkettõ; a két szeglet számára legyenek.

25 Legyen azért nyolcz deszka, és azokhoz tizenhat ezüst talp; két talp egy deszka alatt, megint két talp egy deszka alatt.

26 Csinálj reteszrúdakat is sittim-fából; ötöt a hajlék egyik oldalának deszkáihoz.

27 És öt reteszrúdat a hajlék másik oldalának deszkáihoz; és a hajlék nyugoti oldalának deszkáihoz is öt reteszrúdat hátulról.

28 A középsõ reteszrúd pedig a deszkák közepén az egyik végtõl a másik végig érjen.

29 A deszkákat pedig borítsd meg aranynyal, és karikákat is aranyból csinálj azokhoz a reteszrúdak tartói gyanánt; a reteszrúdakat is megborítsd aranynyal.

30 A hajlékot pedig azon a módon állítsd fel, a mint néked a hegyen mutattatott.

31 És csinálj függönyt, kék, és bíborpiros, és karmazsinszínû, és sodrott lenbõl; Kérubokkal, mestermunkával készítsék azt.

32 És tedd azt sittim-fából való, aranynyal borított négy oszlopra, a melyeknek horgai aranyból legyenek, négy ezüst talpon.

33 És tedd a függönyt a horgok alá, és vidd oda a függöny mögé a bizonyság ládáját és az a függöny válaszsza el néktek a szent helyet a szentek szentjétõl.

34 Azután tedd rá a fedelet a bizonyság ládájára a szentek szentjébe.

35 Az asztalt pedig helyezd a függönyön kívül, és a gyertyatartót az asztal ellenébe, a hajlék déli oldalába; az asztalt pedig tedd az északi oldalba.

36 És csinálj leplet a sátor nyilására is, kék, és bíborpiros, és karmazsinszínû, és sodrott lenbõl, hímzõmunkával.

37 A lepelhez pedig csinálj öt oszlopot sittim-fából, és borítsd meg azokat aranynyal; azoknak horgai aranyból [legyenek], és önts azokhoz öt réztalpat.

9603. 'All the curtains shall have one measure' means that the state of affairs shall be the same [with each one]. This is clear from the meaning of 'measure' as the state of affairs as regards truth, dealt with in 3104, so that 'all the curtains shall have one measure' means that the state of affairs shall be the same with every truth. The expression 'the same state of affairs', when applied to the truths of faith in the spiritual kingdom, means that they all look towards good, and through good towards the Lord, the Source of it. Truths which do not look in this direction are not the truths of faith, nor consequently are they truths of the Church or of heaven. Truths which look in some other direction may indeed to outward appearance seem like truths, but they are not truths because they are devoid of life. For the life of truth is good, and good comes from the Lord, who Alone is life. Truths that look in any other direction are like members of a body without a soul, which are not the members of any body because they are devoid of life and so are useless.

[2] The fact that 'measure' means the state of affairs as regards truth, and also the state of affairs as regards good, is evident from the places in the Word where the measures of the new Jerusalem, and also those of the new temple, are the subject. The new or holy Jerusalem means the Lord's New Church, as does the new temple; therefore by their measures states of affairs as regards truth and as regards good are meant, as in John,

The angel had a gold reed to measure the holy Jerusalem, and its gates, and its wall. And he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. He measured its wall, a hundred and forty-four cubits, which is the measure of a man (homo), that is, of an angel. Revelation 21:15-17.

The measures stated here, it is plainly evident, mean states as regards good and truth, for 'the holy Jerusalem' is the Lord's New Church, 'its gates and wall' being the protective truths of faith. 'Twelve thousand' means all the truths and forms of good in their entirety; and 'a hundred and forty-four' has a similar meaning, 7973, for this number is similar in meaning to the number twelve because it is the product of twelve multiplied by twelve, and 'twelve' means all truths and forms of good in their entirety, see 577, 2089, 2129 (end), 2130 (end), 3272, 3858, 3913. 'The measure of a man, that is, of an angel' means that this is what the state of the Church and of heaven is like as regards forms of the good of love and truths of faith; for 'a man' is the Church and 'an angel' is heaven. Without knowledge of what is meant by 'the holy Jerusalem', by 'its gates and wall', by the number 'twelve thousand furlongs', and by the measure of the wall being 'a hundred and forty-four [cubits]', and also what is meant by 'the measure', 'a man', and 'an angel', would anyone ever know [the real meaning of the description] that the measure of the city was twelve thousand furlongs, or that the measure of a wall of 144 cubits was the measure of a man, that is, of an angel?

[3] Much the same is meant by the measuring in Zechariah,

I raised my eyes and saw, and behold, a man (vir) who had a measuring line in his hand. I said, Where are you going? And he said, To measure Jerusalem to see how broad it is and how long it is. Zechariah 2:1-2.

Also in Chapters 40-42 of Ezekiel, which speak about the man with a measuring rod, who measured the houses of the new city, and also the temple - the walls, gates, footings, thresholds, windows, and steps. Unless the measurements in these places had meant the states of the thing as regards truth and good, such details would never have been mentioned. 'Measuring' generally means the state of the truth and good: In Jeremiah,

Thus said Jehovah, If the heavens above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth beneath searched out, behold, I will nevertheless reject the seed of Israel on account of all that they have done. Behold, the days are coming in which the city for Jehovah will be built. And the measuring line will again go out over the hill of Gareb, and around towards Goah. Jeremiah 31:37-39.

And also in Isaiah,

Who has measured the waters in the hollow of His hand, marked off 1 the heavens with His span, and gathered the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in a balance, and the hills on the scales? Isaiah 40:12.

1585. 'And he saw all the plain of Jordan' means the goods and truths that resided with the external man. This is clear from the meaning of 'a plain' and of 'the Jordan'. In the internal sense 'the plain surrounding the Jordan' means the external man as regards all his goods and truths. The reason the plain of Jordan has this meaning is that the Jordan was a boundary of the land of Canaan. 'The land of Canaan', as stated and shown already, means the Lord's kingdom and Church, and in particular its celestial and spiritual things; this also explains why it was called the Holy Land, and the heavenly Canaan. And because it means the Lord's kingdom and Church, it means in the highest sense the Lord Himself, who is the All in all of His kingdom and of His Church.

[2] For this reason all things in the land of Canaan were representative. Those in the midst of the land, or that were inmost, represented His internal Man - Mount Zion and Jerusalem, for example, representing respectively celestial things and spiritual things. More outlying districts represented things more remote from internals. And the most outlying districts, or those which formed the boundaries, represented the external man. There were several boundaries to the land of Canaan, but in general they were the two rivers Euphrates and Jordan, and also the Sea, 1 for which reason the Euphrates and the Jordan represented external things. Here therefore 'the plain of Jordan' means, as it also represents, all things residing in the external man. The meaning of the land of Canaan is similar when used in reference to the Lord's kingdom in heaven, to the Lord's Church on earth, to the member of that kingdom or Church, or abstractly to the celestial things of love, and so on.

[3] Almost all the cities therefore, and indeed all the mountains, hills, valleys, rivers, and other features in the land of Canaan, were representative. The river Euphrates, being a boundary, represented, as shown already in 120, sensory evidence and facts that belong to the external man, and so too did the Jordan and the plain of Jordan, as becomes clear from the following places: In David,

O my God, my soul bows itself down within me; 2 therefore I remember You from the land of Jordan, and the Hermons from the little mountain. Psalms 42:6.

Here 'the land of Jordan' stands for that which is lowly and so is distant from the celestial, as a person's externals are from his internals.

[4] The crossing of the Jordan when the children of Israel entered the land of Canaan and the dividing of its waters at that time also represented the approach to the internal man by way of the external, as well as a person's entry into the Lord's kingdom, and much more besides, Joshua 3:14 on to the end of Chapter 4. And because the external man is constantly hostile towards the internal and strives for domination over it, the arrogance or the pride of the Jordan came to be phrases used by the Prophets, as in Jeremiah,

How will you compete with horses? And confident in a land of peace how do you deal with the pride of the Jordan? Jeremiah 12:5.

'The pride of the Jordan' stands for those things belonging to the external man which rear up and wish to have dominion over the internal, such as reasonings, meant here by 'horses', and 'the confidence' they give.

[5] In the same prophet,

Edom will become a desolation. Behold, like a lion it will come up from the arrogance of the Jordan against the habitation of Ethan. Jeremiah 49:17, 19.

'The arrogance of the Jordan' stands for the pride of the external man against the goods and truths of the internal. In Zechariah,

Howl, O fir tree, for the cedar is fallen, for the magnificent ones have been laid waste! Howl, O oaks of Bashan, for the impenetrable forest has come down. The sound of the howling of shepherds [is heard], for their magnificence has been laid waste; the sound of the roaring of young lions, that the pride of the Jordan has been laid waste. Zechariah 11:2-3.

The fact that the Jordan was a boundary of the land of Canaan is clear from Numbers 34:12, and the eastern boundary of the land of Judah, in Joshua 15:5.
