学习

   

1 E IL Signore parlò a Mosè, dicendo: Di’ a’ figliuoli d’Israele, che prendano da farmi un’offerta;

2 prendete quella mia offerta da ogni uomo il cui cuore lo moverà volontariamente.

3 E quest’è l’offerta che voi prenderete da loro: oro, e argento, e rame;

4 e violato, e porpora, e scarlatto, e fin lino, e pel di capra;

5 e pelli di montoni tinte in rosso, e pelli di tassi, e legno di Sittim;

6 olio per la lumiera, aromati per l’olio dell’Unzione, e per lo profumo degli aromati;

7 pietre onichine, e pietre da incastonare, per l’Efod, e per lo Pettorale.

8 E faccianmi essi un Santuario, ed io abiterò nel mezzo di loro.

9 Fatelo interamente secondo il modello del Tabernacolo, e il modello di tutti i suoi arredi, che io ti mostro.

10 Facciano adunque un’Arca di legno di Sittim, la cui lunghezza sia di due cubiti e mezzo, e la larghezza di un cubito e mezzo, e l’altezza di un cubito e mezzo.

11 E coprila d’oro puro di dentro e di fuori; e fa’ sopra essa una corona d’oro attorno.

12 E fondile quattro anelli d’oro, e metti quegli anelli a’ quattro cantoni di essa, due da uno de’ lati dell’Arca, e due dall’altro.

13 Fai ancora delle stanghe di legno di Sittim, e coprile d’oro.

14 E metti quelle stanghe dentro agli anelli da’ lati dell’Arca, per portarla con esse.

15 Dimorino le stanghe negli anelli dell’Arca e non ne sieno rimosse.

16 Poi metti nell’Arca la Testimonianza che io ti darò.

17 Fa’ eziandio all’Arca un Coperchio d’oro puro, la cui lunghezza sia di due cubiti e mezzo, e la larghezza di un cubito e mezzo.

18 E fa’ due Cherubini d’oro; falli di lavoro tirato al martello, a’ due capi del Coperchio.

19 Fai adunque un Cherubino da un de’ capi di qua, e un altro dall’altro di là; fate questi Cherubini tirati dal Coperchio stesso, sopra i due capi d’esso.

20 E spandano i Cherubini l’ale in su, facendo con le loro ale una coverta al disopra del Coperchio, e abbiano le lor facce volte l’un verso l’altro; sieno le facce de’ Cherubini volte verso il Coperchio.

21 E metti il Coperchio in su l’Arca disopra, e nell’Arca metti la Testimonianza che io ti darò.

22 Ed io mi troverò quivi presente teco, e parlerò teco d’in sul Coperchio, di mezzo i due Cherubini che saranno sopra l’Arca della Testimonianza; e ti dirò tutte le cose che ti comanderò di proporre a’ figliuoli di Israele.

23 Fa’ ancora una Tavola di legno di Sittim, la cui lunghezza sia di due cubiti, e la larghezza di un cubito e l’altezza di un cubito e mezzo.

24 E coprila d’oro puro, e falle una corona d’oro attorno.

25 Falle eziandio attorno una chiusura di un palmo, d’oro puro, e a quella sua chiusura fa’ una corona d’oro attorno attorno.

26 Falle, oltre a ciò, quattro anelli d’oro, e metti quegli anelli a’ quattro canti, che saranno ai quattro piedi di essa.

27 Sieno gli anelli dirincontro alla chiusura, per farvi passar dentro le stanghe, per portar la Tavola.

28 E fa’ le stanghe di legno di Sittim, e coprile d’oro, e con esse portisi la Tavola.

29 Fa’ eziandio i suoi piattelli, le sue scodelle, i suoi nappi, e i suoi bacini, co’ quali si faranno gli spargimenti; fa’ quelle cose d’oro puro.

30 E metti sopra la Tavola il pane del cospetto, il quale sia del continuo nel mio cospetto.

31 Fa’ ancora un Candelliere d’oro puro; facciasi di lavoro tirato al martello, così il suo gambo, come i suoi rami; sieno i vasi d’esso, i suoi pomi, e le sue bocce, di un pezzo col Candelliere.

32 E sienvi sei rami procedenti da’ lati di esso; tre de’ rami del Candelliere dall’uno de’ lati di esso, e tre dall’altro.

33 In uno di essi rami sieno tre vasi in forma di mandorla; e un pomo, e una boccia a ciascun vaso; e parimente nell’altro ramo, tre vasi in forma di mandorla; e un pomo e una boccia a ciascun vaso; e così conseguentemente ne’ sei rami del Candelliere.

34 E nel gambo del Candelliere sieno quattro vasi in forma di mandorla, co’ suoi pomi, e con le sue bocce.

35 E ne’ sei rami procedenti dal Candelliere, siavi un pomo sotto i due primi rami di un pezzo col Candelliere; e un pomo sotto i due altri rami, d’un pezzo altresì col Candelliere; e un pomo sotto i due ultimi rami, di un pezzo altresì col Candelliere.

36 Sieno i pomi, e i rami loro di un pezzo col Candelliere; sia tutto il Candelliere di un pezzo, d’oro puro, tirato al martello.

37 Fa’ ancora le sette lampane di esso, e accendansi, e porgano lume verso la parte anteriore del Candelliere.

38 E sieno gli smoccolatoi, e i catinelli di esso d’oro puro.

39 Impiega intorno ad esso, e intorno a tutti questi strumenti, un talento d’oro.

40 E vedi di far tutte queste cose, secondo il modello che ti è mostrato in sul monte.

   


To many Protestant and Evangelical Italians, the Bibles translated by Giovanni Diodati are an important part of their history. Diodati’s first Italian Bible edition was printed in 1607, and his second in 1641. He died in 1649. Throughout the 1800s two editions of Diodati’s text were printed by the British Foreign Bible Society. This is the more recent 1894 edition, translated by Claudiana.

9457. 'And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying' means instructions regarding the holy things of heaven which had to be represented. This is clear from the verses that follow, for the things which Jehovah told Moses mean the holy things of heaven that were to be represented. Among the Israelite people a Church was being established in which outward forms would exist displaying in a representative fashion the celestial realities belonging to the good of love, and the spiritual realities belonging to the good and truth of faith, as such realities exist in heaven and ought to do so in the Church. From all this it is clear that 'Jehovah spoke' means instructions regarding the holy things of heaven which had to be represented. Since the matters described in the verses that follow are representative of the celestial and spiritual realities from the Lord in the heavens, something needs to be said about what a representative Church is and why it exists.

[2] There are three heavens - the inmost or third, the middle or second, and the lowest or first. In the inmost heaven the good of love to the Lord reigns, in the middle heaven the good of charity towards the neighbour reigns, and in the lowest the things which are thought, spoken, and come into being in the middle and inmost heavens are represented. The representatives there are countless, such as paradise parks, gardens, forests, fields, plains, as well as cities, palaces, and houses; also flocks and herds, as well as very many kinds of animals and birds; and countless other phenomena. These appear before the eyes of angelic spirits in that heaven more plainly than any such things do on earth in the light at midday; and what is astonishing, those spirits also discern what realities are meant by the things which appear.

[3] Such phenomena also appeared to prophets when their inner sight, which is the sight of the spirit, had been opened, for instance the horses that appeared to Zechariah, 6:1-8; the living creatures which were cherubs, and afterwards the new temple and everything in it that appeared to Ezekiel, Chapters 1, 9, 10, 40-48; the lampstand, thrones, living creatures (which again were cherubs), horses, new Jerusalem, and very many other phenomena, which appeared to John and are described in the Book of Revelation; and similarly the fiery horses and chariots that appeared to Elisha's servant, 2 Kings 6:17. Things such as these are constantly making their appearance in heaven before the eyes of spirits and angels. They are natural forms in which the inward things of heaven terminate and are given shape. The things which present themselves visually before the spirits and angels' actual eyes in this way are representations.

[4] A representative Church exists therefore when the holy, inner realities of love and faith which are derived from the Lord and look towards the Lord present themselves by means of visual forms in the world, such as those which are the subject in this and following chapters - the ark, the mercy-seat, the cherubs, the tables there, the lampstand, and everything else that was part of the tabernacle. For that tabernacle was constructed in such a way that it might represent the three heavens and everything there, the ark which contained the Testimony representing the inmost heaven and the Lord Himself there. This is why, when Moses was shown on the mountain the form it should take, Jehovah said at the same time, To the end that they may make for Him a sanctuary and He may dwell in their midst, verse 8. Everyone endowed with any ability to think on a deeper level can see that Jehovah could not have dwelt in a tent but that He dwells in heaven, and that this tent is called the sanctuary only because it presents an image of heaven, and the celestial and spiritual realities there. Let everyone ask himself, What would it have been for Jehovah, Creator of heaven and earth, to dwell in a small dwelling-place that was made of wood, overlaid with gold, and surrounded by curtains, if heaven and the things of heaven had not been represented there in outward forms?

[5] For the realities which are represented in outward forms do indeed reveal themselves in a similar way in the lowest or first heaven before the spirits there. But those in the higher heavens perceive the inner things that are being represented, which, as has been stated, are the celestial realities belonging to love to the Lord and the spiritual realities belonging to faith in the Lord. It was things of this nature that filled heaven when Moses and the people, moved by outward holiness, venerated that tent as the dwelling-place of Jehovah Himself. From this it is evident what a representative was, and also that by means of it heaven, and so the Lord, was present with mankind.

[6] A representative Church therefore was established among the Israelite people, when the ancient Church came to an end, in order that by means of such representatives heaven, and so the Lord, might be joined to the human race. (If the Lord did not join Himself to people through heaven they would cease to exist; for it is as a result of this joining of Himself to them that people possess the life they have.) Those representatives however were no more than outward means serving to conjoin, yet to which the Lord joined heaven in a wondrous manner, 4311. But when the joining together through those means also was about to perish the Lord came into the world and laid bare the actual realities which were being merely represented up to then, that is, the inner realities which belong to love to and faith in Him. These realities themselves now effect that joining together. But the only means by which such a joining together is effected at the present day is still the Word, since this has been written in such a way that every single part of it has a correspondence and as a consequence represents and serves to mean the Divine realities present in the heavens.

1 Now these are the names of the tribes: From the north end, beside the way of Hethlon to the entrance of Hamath, Hazar Enan at the border of Damascus, northward beside Hamath, (and they shall have their sides east [and] west), Dan, one [portion].

2 By the border of Dan, from the east side to the west side, Asher, one [portion].

3 By the border of Asher, from the east side even to the west side, Naphtali, one [portion].

4 By the border of Naphtali, from the east side to the west side, Manasseh, one [portion].

5 By the border of Manasseh, from the east side to the west side, Ephraim, one [portion].

6 By the border of Ephraim, from the east side even to the west side, Reuben, one [portion].

7 By the border of Reuben, from the east side to the west side, Judah, one [portion].

8 By the border of Judah, from the east side to the west side, shall be the offering which you shall offer, twenty-five thousand [reeds] in breadth, and in length as one of the portions, from the east side to the west side: and the sanctuary shall be in its midst.

9 The offering that you shall offer to Yahweh shall be twenty-five thousand [reeds] in length, and ten thousand in breadth.

10 For these, even for the priests, shall be the holy offering: toward the north twenty-five thousand [in length], and toward the west ten thousand in breadth, and toward the east ten thousand in breadth, and toward the south twenty-five thousand in length: and the sanctuary of Yahweh shall be in its midst.

11 [It shall be] for the priests who are sanctified of the sons of Zadok, who have kept my instruction, who didn't go astray when the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray.

12 It shall be to them an offering from the offering of the land, a thing most holy, by the border of the Levites.

13 Answerable to the border of the priests, the Levites shall have twenty-five thousand in length, and ten thousand in breadth: all the length shall be twenty-five thousand, and the breadth ten thousand.

14 They shall sell none of it, nor exchange it, nor shall the first fruits of the land be alienated; for it is holy to Yahweh.

15 The five thousand that are left in the breadth, in front of the twenty-five thousand, shall be for common use, for the city, for dwelling and for suburbs; and the city shall be in its midst.

16 These shall be its measures: the north side four thousand and five hundred, and the south side four thousand and five hundred, and on the east side four thousand and five hundred, and the west side four thousand and five hundred.

17 The city shall have suburbs: toward the north two hundred fifty, and toward the south two hundred fifty, and toward the east two hundred fifty, and toward the west two hundred fifty.

18 The remainder in the length, answerable to the holy offering, shall be ten thousand eastward, and ten thousand westward; and it shall be answerable to the holy offering; and its increase shall be for food to those who labor in the city.

19 Those who labor in the city, out of all the tribes of Israel, shall cultivate it.

20 All the offering shall be twenty-five thousand by twenty-five thousand: you shall offer the holy offering foursquare, with the possession of the city.

21 The residue shall be for the prince, on the one side and on the other of the holy offering and of the possession of the city; in front of the twenty-five thousand of the offering toward the east border, and westward in front of the twenty-five thousand toward the west border, answerable to the portions, it shall be for the prince: and the holy offering and the sanctuary of the house shall be in its midst.

22 Moreover from the possession of the Levites, and from the possession of the city, being in the midst of that which is the prince's, between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin, it shall be for the prince.

23 As for the rest of the tribes: from the east side to the west side, Benjamin, one [portion].

24 By the border of Benjamin, from the east side to the west side, Simeon, one [portion].

25 By the border of Simeon, from the east side to the west side, Issachar, one [portion].

26 By the border of Issachar, from the east side to the west side, Zebulun, one [portion].

27 By the border of Zebulun, from the east side to the west side, Gad, one [portion].

28 By the border of Gad, at the south side southward, the border shall be even from Tamar to the waters of Meribath Kadesh, to the brook [of Egypt], to the great sea.

29 This is the land which you shall divide by lot to the tribes of Israel for inheritance, and these are their several portions, says the Lord Yahweh.

30 These are the exits of the city: On the north side four thousand and five hundred [reeds] by measure;

31 and the gates of the city shall be after the names of the tribes of Israel, three gates northward: the gate of Reuben, one; the gate of Judah, one; the gate of Levi, one.

32 At the east side four thousand and five hundred [reeds], and three gates: even the gate of Joseph, one; the gate of Benjamin, one; the gate of Dan, one.

33 At the south side four thousand and five hundred [reeds] by measure, and three gates: the gate of Simeon, one; the gate of Issachar, one; the gate of Zebulun, one.

34 At the west side four thousand and five hundred [reeds], with their three gates: the gate of Gad, one; the gate of Asher, one; the gate of Naphtali, one.

35 It shall be eighteen thousand [reeds] around: and the name of the city from that day shall be, Yahweh is there.
