1 FA’ ancora il Padiglione, di dieci teli di fin lino ritorto, di violato, di porpora, e di scarlatto; e fa’ que’ teli lavorati a cherubini di lavoro di disegno.

2 Sia la lunghezza d’un telo di ventotto cubiti, e la larghezza di quattro cubiti; sieno tutti que’ teli di una stessa misura.

3 Sieno cinque teli accoppiati l’uno con l’altro, e cinque altri teli parimente accoppiati l’uno con l’altro.

4 E fa’ de’ lacciuoli di violato all’orlo dell’uno de’ teli, che sarà all’estremità dell’uno degli accoppiamenti; fa’ il simigliante ancora nell’orlo del telo estremo nel secondo accoppiamento.

5 Fa’ cinquanta lacciuoli nell’uno di que’ teli, e parimente cinquanta lacciuoli all’estremità del telo che sarà al secondo accoppiamento; sieno i lacciuoli dirincontro l’uno all’altro.

6 Fa’ ancora cinquanta graffi d’oro, e accoppia que’ teli, l’uno con l’altro con que’ graffi; e così sia il Padiglione giunto in uno.

7 Fa’, oltre a ciò, sopra il Padiglione una Tenda a teli di pel di capra; fai undici di que’ teli.

8 Sia la lunghezza di un telo di trenta cubiti, e la larghezza di quattro cubiti; sieno gli undici teli di una stessa misura.

9 E accoppia cinque di que’ teli da parte, e sei da parte; e raddoppia il sesto telo in su la parte anteriore del Tabernacolo.

10 E fa’ cinquanta lacciuoli all’orlo dell’un de’ teli, che sarà l’estremo del primo accoppiamento; e parimente cinquanta lacciuoli all’orlo del telo estremo del secondo accoppiamento.

11 Fa’ ancora cinquanta graffi di rame, e metti i graffi dentro i lacciuoli; e assembra insieme la Tenda, acciocchè sia giunta in uno.

12 E quel soverchio che avanzerà ne’ teli della Tenda, cioè: quel mezzo telo che sarà di soverchio, soprabbondi nella parte di dietro del Tabernacolo.

13 E il cubito di qua, e il cubito di là, che sarà di soverchio nella lunghezza de’ teli della Tenda, soprabbondi ne’ lati del Tabernacolo, di qua e di là, per coprirlo.

14 Fa’ ancora alla Tenda una coverta di pelli di montone, tinte in rosso; e un’altra coverta di pelli di tasso, disopra.

15 Fa’, oltre a ciò, delle assi per lo Tabernacolo; falle di legno di Sittim, per metterle ritte.

16 Sia la lunghezza di ciascuna asse di dieci cubiti, e la larghezza di un cubito e mezzo.

17 Abbia ciascuna asse due cardini da incastrare un pezzo nell’altro; fa’ così a tutte le assi del Tabernacolo.

18 Fa’ adunque le assi per lo Tabernacolo; venti assi dal lato Australe, verso il Mezzodì.

19 E fa’ quaranta piedistalli di argento per metter sotto quelle venti assi; due piedistalli sotto ciascuna asse, per li suoi due cardini.

20 E venti assi per l’altro lato del Tabernacolo, verso Aquilone;

21 co’ lor quaranta piedistalli di argento, due piedistalli sotto ciascuna asse.

22 E per lo fondo del Tabernacolo, verso Occidente, fa’ sei assi.

23 Fa’ ancora due assi per li cantoni del Tabernacolo, nel fondo.

24 E sieno quelle a due facce fin da basso; e tutte sieno ben commesse insieme al capo di queste assi con un anello; sieno quelle due assi, che saranno per li due cantoni, fatte di una medesima maniera.

25 Sienvi adunque otto assi, co’ lor piedistalli di argento, in numero di sedici piedistalli; due piedistalli sotto ciascuna asse.

26 Fai ancora cinque sbarre di legno di Sittim, per le assi dell’uno de’ lati del Tabernacolo.

27 Parimente cinque sbarre per le assi dell’altro lato del Tabernacolo; e cinque sbarre per le assi del lato del fondo del Tabernacolo, verso Occidente.

28 E la sbarra di mezzo sia nel mezzo delle assi, e traversi da un capo all’altro.

29 E copri d’oro le assi, e fa’ d’oro i loro anelli, da mettervi dentro le sbarre; copri ancora d’oro le sbarre.

30 Poi rizza il Tabernacolo secondo il modello di esso, che ti è stato mostrato nel monte.

31 Fa’ ancora una Cortina di violato, e di porpora, e di scarlatto, e di fin lino ritorto; facciasi di lavoro di disegno a Cherubini.

32 E appendila a quattro colonne di legno di Sittim, coperte d’oro, co’ lor capitelli d’oro; e quelle sieno poste sopra quattro piedistalli di argento.

33 E metti la Cortina sotto i graffi; e porta là, dentro della Cortina, l’Arca della Testimonianza; e facciavi quella Cortina separazione fra il luogo Santo e il Santissimo.

34 E metti il Coperchio sopra l’Arca della Testimonianza, nel luogo Santissimo.

35 E metti la Tavola di fuori della Cortina, dal lato Settentrionale; e il Candelliere, dirimpetto alla Tavola, dal lato Australe del Tabernacolo.

36 Fa’ eziandio, per l’entrata del Tabernacolo, un tappeto di violato, e di porpora, e di scarlatto, e di fin lino ritorto, di lavoro di ricamatore.

37 E fai cinque colonne di legno di Sittim, per appendervi quel tappeto, e copri le colonne d’oro, e sieno i lor capitelli d’oro; e fondi loro cinque piedistalli di rame.

   


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.

4922. 'And bound on his hand a twice-dyed thread' means that a sign was placed on it, namely on that power - 'twice-dyed' meaning good. This is clear from the meaning of 'binding on the hand' as placing a sign on power, for 'the hand' means power, 4920; and from the meaning of 'twice-dyed' as good, in particular spiritual good. The reason 'twice-dyed' means spiritual good is that this expression describes a shade of scarlet, and in the next life whenever one sees scarlet spiritual good is meant, which is the good of charity towards the neighbour. For all colours clearly visible in the next life mean something connected with good and truth since they are products of the light of heaven, which essentially is wisdom and intelligence flowing from the Lord's Divine. The variegations or modifications of that light are consequently variegations and so to speak modifications of wisdom and intelligence, and therefore of good and truth. For details about the light in heaven flowing from the Lord's Divine wisdom and intelligence, where the Lord is seen as the Sun, see 1053, 1521-1533, 1619-1632, 2776, 3138, 3167, 3190, 3195, 3222, 3223, 3225, 3337, 3339, 3340, 3485, 3636, 3643, 3862, 3993, 4180, 4214, 4302, 4405, 4408, 4413, 4415, 4523-4533; and for details about colours having their origin in that light and about their being variegations and modifications of that light, and therefore of intelligence and wisdom, 1042, 1043, 1053, 1624, 3993, 4530, 4677, 4742.

[2] As regards 'twice-dyed' meaning spiritual good, this is evident from places in the Word where this expression is used, as in Jeremiah,

If therefore you have been laid waste, what will you do? If you clothe yourself in twice-dyed and deck yourself with ornaments of gold, in vain will you make yourself beautiful; your lovers will abhor you. Jeremiah 4:30.

This refers to Judah. 'Clothing yourself in twice-dyed' stands for spiritual good, 'decking yourself with ornaments of gold' for celestial good. In 2 Samuel,

David lamented over Saul and over Jonathan, and wrote it down that they teach the children of Judah the bow. Daughters of Israel, weep over Saul who clothed you in twice-dyed delicately, 1 and placed an ornament of gold on your apparel. 2 Samuel 1:17-18, 24.

Here 'teaching the bow' stands for teaching the doctrine of love and charity, for 'the bow' means that doctrine. 'Clothing in twice-dyed' stands for spiritual good, as previously, and 'placing an ornament of gold on one's apparel' for celestial good.

[3] Such being the meaning of 'twice-dyed', instructions were also given to use twice-dyed scarlet on the curtains of the Dwelling-place, the veil, the covering for the door of the tent, the covering to the gate of the court, the table of the Presence when they were about to set out, Aaron's sacred vestments such as the ephod, the breastplate of judgement, and the fringes of the robe of the ephod:

The curtains of the Dwelling-place

You shall make for the Dwelling-place ten curtains - fine-twined linen, and violet and purple and twice-dyed scarlet. Exodus 26:1.

The veil

You shall make a veil of violet and purple, and of twice-dyed scarlet, and of fine-twined linen. Exodus 26:31.

The covering for the door of the tent

You shall make a covering for the door of the tent, of violet and purple and twice-dyed scarlet, and of fine-twined linen. Exodus 26:36.

[4] The covering to the gate of the court

For the gate of the court you shall make a covering of violet and purple and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine-twined linen, the work of an embroiderer. Exodus 27:16.

The table of the Presence when they were about to set out

When the camp sets out they shall spread over the table of the Presence a cloth of twice-dyed scarlet, and shall cover this with a covering of badger skin. Numbers 4:8.

The ephod

You shall make an ephod out of gold, violet and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, fine-twined linen, the work of a craftsman; and the girdle similarly. Exodus 28:5-6, 8; 39:2-3.

The breastplate of judgement

You shall make the breastplate of judgement, the work of a craftsman, like the work of the ephod, out of gold, violet, and purple. and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine-twined linen. Exodus 28:15.

The fringes of the robe of the ephod

Pomegranates of violet, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet. Exodus 28:33.

[5] It was because the Tent of Meeting with the Ark in it represented heaven that the colours mentioned in these places were required. They meant in their order celestial and spiritual things, as follows: 'Violet and purple' meant celestial kinds of good and truth, 'twice-dyed scarlet and fine-twined linen' spiritual kinds of good and truth. Anyone believing that the Word is holy can recognize that each has a specific meaning, and anyone believing that the Word is holy for the reason that it has been sent down from the Lord by way of heaven can recognize that the celestial and spiritual things belonging to His kingdom are meant. Similar instructions were given, in cleansings from leprosy, to use 'cedarwood, scarlet, and hyssop', Leviticus 14:4, 6, 52; and to cast 'cedarwood and hyssop and twice-dyed of purple' on to the fire in which the red heifer was being burned, from which the water of separation was prepared, Numbers 19:6.

[6] The profanation of good and truth is described by similar words in John,

I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast, full of blasphemous names. It had seven heads and ten horns. The woman was clothed in purple and scarlet. and covered 2 with gold and precious stones and pearls. holding in her hand a golden cup, full of abominations and the uncleanness of whoredom. Revelation 17:3-4.

And after this,

Woe, woe, the great city, you that were clothed in fine linen and purple and scarlet, and covered' with gold and precious stones and pearls. Revelation 18:16.

This refers to 'Babel' by which the profanation of good is meant, 1182, 1283, 1295, 1304, 1306-1308, 1321, 1322, 1326, in this case the profanation both of good and of truth, which is 'Babylonian'. Among the Prophets in the Old Testament 'Babel' describes the profanation of good and 'Chaldea' the profanation of truth.

[7] In the contrary sense 'scarlet' means the evil that is the contrary of spiritual good, as in Isaiah,

Though your sins are like scarlet, they will be white as snow. Though they are red as crimson, 3 they will be as wool. Isaiah 1:18.

The reason 'scarlet' means this evil is that 'blood', likewise, because of its red colour, in the genuine sense means spiritual good or charity towards the neighbour, and in the contrary sense violence done to charity, 374, 1005.
