1 Farai pure un altare per bruciarvi su il profumo: lo farai di legno d’acacia.

2 La sua lunghezza sarà di un cubito; e la sua larghezza, di un cubito; sarà quadro, e avrà un’altezza di due cubiti; i suoi corni saranno tutti d’un pezzo con esso.

3 Lo rivestirai d’oro puro: il disopra, i suoi lati tutt’intorno, i suoi corni; e gli farai una ghirlanda d’oro che gli giri attorno.

4 E gli farai due anelli d’oro, sotto la ghirlanda, ai suoi due lati; li metterai ai suoi due lati, per passarvi le stanghe che serviranno a portarlo.

5 Farai le stanghe di legno d’acacia, e le rivestirai d’oro.

6 E collocherai l’altare davanti al velo ch’è dinanzi all’arca della testimonianza, di faccia al propiziatorio che sta sopra la testimonianza, dove io mi ritroverò con te.

7 E Aaronne vi brucerà su del profumo fragrante; lo brucerà ogni mattina, quando acconcerà le lampade;

8 e quando Aaronne accenderà le lampade sull’imbrunire, lo farà bruciare come un profumo perpetuo davanti all’Eterno, di generazione in generazione.

9 Non offrirete sovr’esso né profumo straniero, né olocausto, né oblazione; e non vi farete libazioni.

10 E Aaronne farà una volta all’anno l’espiazione sui corni d’esso; col sangue del sacrifizio d’espiazione per il peccato vi farà l’espiazione una volta l’anno, di generazione in generazione. Sarà cosa santissima, sacra all’Eterno.

11 L’Eterno parlò ancora a Mosè, dicendo:

12 "Quando farai il conto de’ figliuoli d’Israele, facendo il censimento, ognun d’essi darà all’Eterno il riscatto della propria persona, quando saranno contati; onde non siano colpiti da qualche piaga, allorché farai il loro censimento.

13 Daranno questo: chiunque sarà compreso nel censimento darà un mezzo siclo, secondo il siclo del santuario, che è di venti ghere: un mezzo siclo sarà l’offerta da fare all’Eterno.

14 Ognuno che sarà compreso nel censimento, dai venti anni in su, darà quest’offerta all’Eterno.

15 Il ricco non darà di più, né il povero darà meno del mezzo siclo, quando si farà quest’offerta all’Eterno per il riscatto delle vostre persone.

16 Prenderai dunque dai figliuoli d’Israele questo danaro del riscatto e lo adoprerai per il servizio della tenda di convegno: sarà per i figliuoli d’Israele una ricordanza dinanzi all’Eterno per fare il riscatto delle vostre persone".

17 L’Eterno parlò ancora a Mosè, dicendo:

18 "Farai pure una conca di rame, con la sua base di rame, per le abluzioni; la porrai fra la tenda di convegno e l’altare, e ci metterai dell’acqua.

19 E Aaronne e i suoi figliuoli vi si laveranno le mani e i piedi.

20 Quando entreranno nella tenda di convegno, si laveranno con acqua, onde non abbiano a morire; così pure quando si accosteranno all’altare per fare il servizio, per far fumare un’offerta fatta all’Eterno mediante il fuoco.

21 Si laveranno le mani e i piedi, onde non abbiano a morire. Questa sarà una norma perpetua per loro, per Aaronne e per la sua progenie, di generazione in generazione".

22 L’Eterno parlò ancora a Mosè, dicendo:

23 "Prenditi anche de’ migliori aromi: di mirra vergine, cinquecento sicli; di cinnamomo aromatico, la metà, cioè duecentocinquanta; di canna aromatica, pure duecentocinquanta;

24 di cassia, cinquecento, secondo il siclo del santuario; e un hin d’olio d’oliva.

25 E ne farai un olio per l’unzione sacra, un profumo composto con arte di profumiere: sarà l’olio per l’unzione sacra.

26 E con esso ungerai la tenda di convegno e l’arca della testimonianza,

27 la tavola e tutti i suoi utensili, il candelabro e i suoi utensili, l’altare dei profumi,

28 l’altare degli olocausti e tutti i suoi utensili, la conca e la sua base.

29 Consacrerai così queste cose, e saranno santissime; tutto quello che le toccherà, sarà santo.

30 E ungerai Aaronne e i suoi figliuoli, e li consacrerai perché mi esercitino l’ufficio di sacerdoti.

31 E parlerai ai figliuoli d’Israele, dicendo: Quest’olio mi sarà un olio di sacra unzione, di generazione in generazione.

32 Non lo si spanderà su carne d’uomo, e non ne farete altro di simile, della stessa composizione; esso è cosa santa, e sarà per voi cosa santa.

33 Chiunque ne comporrà di simile, o chiunque ne metterà sopra un estraneo, sarà sterminato di fra il suo popolo".

34 L’Eterno disse ancora a Mosè: "Prenditi degli aromi, della resina, della conchiglia odorosa, del galbano, degli aromi con incenso puro, in dosi uguali;

35 e ne farai un profumo composto secondo l’arte del profumiere, salato, puro, santo;

36 ne ridurrai una parte in minutissima polvere, e ne porrai davanti alla testimonianza nella tenda di convegno, dove io m’incontrerò con te: esso vi sarà cosa santissima.

37 E del profumo che farai, non ne farete della stessa composizione per uso vostro; ti sarà cosa santa, consacrata all’Eterno.

38 Chiunque ne farà di simile per odorarlo, sarà sterminato di fra il suo popolo".

10188. 'And two rings of gold you shall make for it under the rim' means the sphere of Divine Good by means of which a joining together and preservation are effected. This is clear from the meaning of 'two' as a joining together, dealt with in 5194, 8423; from the meaning of 'rings' as a Divine sphere, dealt with in 9498, 9501; from the meaning of 'gold' as good, dealt with in 9874, 9881; and from the meaning of 'the rim' as a border serving to defend from the approach of evils and the harm these can do, dealt with immediately above in 10187. From these meanings it is evident that 'two rings of gold under the rim' means the sphere of Divine Good by means of which a joining together is effected. The reason why a preservation is also meant is that the poles were inserted into the rings and then served to carry [the altar], and 'carrying' means preserving, 9900.

[2] What the sphere of Divine Good is must be stated briefly here. The sphere of Divine Good fills the whole of heaven, and also extends into hell; for it is like the sphere of the sun's heat in the world, which in summer reaches even into dark places where the sun does not appear. That Divine sphere was likened by the ancients to circles of radiating light which had God in the middle of them and angels round about. Those therefore who allow themselves to be led by the Lord, and so who receive what is Divine from Him, are in the sphere of Divine Good, to the extent that they are receptive. Those however who are not receptive are, it is true, in that same sphere; but their interiors are closed off, to such an extent that they are insensitive to its influx. For the attention of those in hell is fixed on things of an external nature and not on those of an internal nature. From these external things furthermore evils and consequent falsities emanate, which as they appear around those spirits look like a pall of smoke from a furnace. As a consequence of this the external sphere of Divine Good there loses its effectiveness, while the internal sphere nevertheless remains. Though they are unreceptive of this sphere because the way for it to come in has been closed, the Lord nevertheless rules the hells by means of it.

[3] The reason why it is the sphere of Divine Good that emanates from the Lord is that the Sun of heaven, which is the Lord, is God's love; for that is how this love manifests itself there. The heat radiating from it is the good of love, while the light radiating from it is the truth of faith. This is why in the Word the sun is used to mean God's love, its fire and heat being the good of love, and its light the truth of faith.

[4] Furthermore from each individual angel there emanates a sphere from his love, as there does also from each good or bad spirit, in keeping with their loves, though the spheres emanating from them do not extend very far. But the Divine sphere extends through all creation, for it emanates from what is inmost, and what is inmost is the all in all of the things that go out in order from it.

Regarding spheres, see what has been shown previously, in part from experience as well, in 1048, 1053, 1316, 1504-1512, 1695, 2401, 4464, 5179, 6206(end), 6598-6613, 7454, 8063, 8630, 8794, 8797, 9490-9492, 9498, 9499, 9534, 9606, 9607.

Arcana Coelestia#8794

8794. 'And you are to set bounds for the people round about' means not extending into heaven beyond the spiritual spheres of good. This is clear from the meaning of 'setting bounds round about' as the extension of a sphere into heaven to specific limits that are determined by each one's good; and from the representation of the children of Israel, to whom 'the people' refers here, as those governed by spiritual good in which truth is to be implanted. For this state of the good of those belonging to the spiritual Church is described in the present chapter and in those that follow it, 8753. So it is that 'you are to set bounds for the people round about' means extension into heaven no further than to the spiritual spheres of good.

[2] No one can know except from revelation what to understand by extension into heaven as far as the spiritual spheres of good. The situation is this: Any good imparted to a person through regeneration by the Lord extends itself to communities in heaven. The amount and the nature of this extension varies with each person; it varies in amount as it advances towards more distant boundaries in heaven, and in nature as it shifts more towards the internal parts of heaven or more towards the external parts. The actual good residing with a person flows in from the Lord by way of the communities of heaven that are round about; good that does not flow in by way of those communities is not possible. The communities of heaven exist round about, closely joined together without a break; not a break between them appears anywhere. It is the same with every single thing that is connected with good and constitutes its essential nature. Therefore when a person is being regenerated his enrichment in good is nothing other than being introduced into angelic communities, and in this way being joined to them. See also 4067, 4073, 4077, 6598-6613

[3] This has also been demonstrated to me quite a number of times by actual experience. Sometimes contact with certain communities has been withdrawn from me, and then the amount and the nature of life that remained were determined by the amount and nature of extension into the communities that were left. And when more communities were taken away, my life suffered and began seemingly to be snuffed out. Every angel, spirit, and man has a spiritual sphere, and its nature is determined by its extension into different communities. It extends not into the actual communities, but into the spheres emanating from their good. These matters are arcana that are unknown to anyone in the world but are very well known indeed in the next life. The reason why they are unknown to anyone in the world is that a person at the present day believes that he has life in himself, and consequently that he lives without association with spirits and angels, and so without being linked to heaven. But in this he is altogether mistaken; for all the life a person has comes from the Lord by way of communities [in the spiritual world].

[4] In addition it should be recognized that the life emanating from those belonging to the spiritual Church reaches as far as the angelic spheres in the second heaven, called the spiritual heaven, but not as far as the third heaven, where those who are celestial are. The reason for this is that a member of the spiritual Church cannot receive the Divine as He exists in the inmost or third heaven where those who are celestial are, except in so general a way that he does not even notice it. And the reason for this is that those who are spiritual cannot reach even the outer doorstep of the good governing those who are celestial, 2718, 3833, 6500, 8521. All this shows what should be understood by not extending into heaven beyond the spiritual spheres of good, meant by the injunction 'you are to set bounds for the people round about', and also what should be understood by the words that follow it.

[5] It should also be recognized that just as those governed by good have an extension into angelic communities according to the nature and amount of their good, so those ruled by evil have an extension into hellish communities according to the nature and amount of their evil. And in addition to this, everyone in the next life comes among those with whom he had been in contact during his lifetime. His ruling love determines this; for that love is what constitutes the sphere emanating from each person's life, and extends as far as the nature and amount of it determine.
