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.

7973. 'Around six hundred thousand men on foot' means all aspects of the truth and good of faith in their entirety. This is clear from the meaning of the number 'six hundred thousand' as all aspects of faith in their entirety, for this number is a multiple of six and also of twelve, and 'twelve' means all aspects of faith and charity, 577, 2089, 2129 (end), 2130 (end), 3272, 3858, 3913. This is why Jacob's sons were twelve in number, why their descendants were divided into the same number of tribes, and also why the Lord chose twelve disciples, that is to say, in order that they might represent all aspects of faith and charity. Regarding the tribes, see 3858, 3862, 3926, 3979, 4060, 6335, 6737, 6640, 7876, 7891; and regarding the disciples, 3354, 3488, 5858 (end), 6397.

[2] At this point 'six hundred thousand' has a similar meaning because a larger or smaller number that is a multiple or a factor carries a meaning similar to that of the simple numbers that are being multiplied or divided, 5291, 5335, 5708. This is plainly evident from the number twelve. Whether this is divided into six or multiplied into seventy-two, 144 (which is twelve twelves), 12000, or 144000, the meaning is similar, as with 144000 in John,

I heard the number of the sealed, a hundred and forty-four thousand, sealed out of every tribe of Israel - out of each tribe twelve thousand. Revelation 7:4-5 and following verses.

Here 'the children of Israel' is not used to mean the children of Israel, 'tribes' the tribes, or 'the number' a number, but to mean the kinds of things contained in the internal sense, namely all aspects of faith and charity. Each tribe in particular accordingly means one kind or one group, in keeping with the explanations at Genesis 29, 30.

[3] Similarly with the following in the same author,

Behold, a Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with Him 144000, having His Father's name written on their foreheads. They were singing a new song before the throne, and no one could learn the song except 144000 bought from the earth. These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These were bought from men (homo), being the first fruits to God and the Lamb. Revelation 14:1, 3-4.

From this description it is evident that those governed by charity are meant by 144000. It is also evident that the sole purpose of this number is to indicate the state and its essential nature. That number is similar to twelve in what it indicates, for it is the product of 12000 and it multiplied.

[4] It is similar with the smaller number 144, Which is twelve times twelve, in the same author,

He measured the wall of the holy Jerusalem coming down from God out of heaven, 144 cubits, which is the measure of a man (homo), that is, of an angel. Revelation 21:2, 17.

'The wall of the holy Jerusalem' is not in the spiritual sense a wall; instead it is the truth of faith defending things of the Church, see 6419; and this also is why it is said to have been '144 cubits'. It is plainly evident that such must be meant, since it says 'it is the measure of a man, that is, of an angel'. 'Man' and 'angel' mean every aspect of the truth and good of faith.

[5] The same is also evident from the twelve precious stones that the foundation of the wall consisted of, and from the twelve gates, each of which was a pearl, Revelation 21:19-21. For by 'precious stones' truths of faith that spring from the good of charity are meant, 643, 3720, 6426, and similarly by 'gate' and also by 'pearl'. From this it is now clear that a smaller or larger number carries a meaning similar to the simple number that is divided or multiplied. As regards the fact that all numbers in the Word mean spiritual things, see 481, 487, 575, 647, 648, 755, 813, 1963, 1988, 2075, 2252, 3252, 4164, 4495, 4670, 5265.

[6] From these considerations one may now see that the number 'six hundred thousand' men going out of Egypt also means such things. But scarcely anyone is able to believe that such are meant by this number because it refers to a historical event; and any historical event fixes the mind all the time on the external sense and draws it away from the internal sense. Nevertheless that number too means such spiritual things, for there is not a part of a word, not even indeed one jot or one tittle in the Word, that is not in itself holy, because it holds what is holy within it. Anyone at all can see that there is nothing holy about a merely historical event.
