1 나 주 여호와가 말하노라 안 뜰 동향한 문을 일하는 육일 동안에는 닫되 안식일에는 열며 월삭에도 열고

2 왕은 바깥 문 현관을 통하여 들어와서 문 벽 곁에 서고 제사장은 그를 위하여 번제와 감사제를 드릴 것이요 왕은 문통에서 경배한 후에 밖으로 나가고 그 문은 저녁까지 닫지 말 것이며

3 이 땅 백성도 안식일과 월삭에 이 문통에서 나 여호와 앞에 경배할 것이며

4 안식일에 왕이 여호와께 드릴 번제는 흠 없는 어린 양 여섯과 흠없는 수양 하나라

5 그 소제는 수양 하나에는 밀가루 한 에바요 모든 어린 양에는 그 힘대로 할 것이며 밀가루 한 에바에는 기름 한 힌씩이니라

6 월삭에는 흠 없는 수송아지 하나와 어린 양 여섯과 수양 하나를 드리되 모두 흠 없는 것으로 할 것이며

7 또 소제를 갖추되 수송아지에는 밀가루 한 에바요 수양에도 밀가루 한 에바며 모든 어린 양에는 그 힘대로 할 것이요 밀가루 한 에바에는 기름 한 힌씩이며

8 왕이 올 때에는 이 문 현관을 통하여 들어오고 나갈 때에도 그리할지니라

9 그러나 모든 정한 절기에 이 땅 거민이 나 여호와 앞에 나아올 때에는 북문으로 들어와서 경배하는 자는 남문으로 나가고 남문으로 들어오는 자는 북문으로 나갈지라 들어온 문으로 도로 나가지 말고 그 몸이 앞으로 향한대로 나갈지며

10 왕은 무리 가운데 있어서 그들의 들어올 때에 들어오고 그들의 나갈 때에 나갈지니라

11 절기와 성회 때에 그 소제는 수송아지 하나에 밀가루 한 에바요 수양 하나에도 한 에바요 모든 어린 양에는 그 힘대로 할 것이며 밀가루 한 에바에는 기름 한 힌씩이며

12 만일 왕이 자원하여 번제를 갖추거나 혹 자원하여 감사제를 갖추어 나 여호와께 드릴 때에는 그를 위하여 동향한 문을 열고 그가 번제와 감사제를 안식일에 드림 같이 드리고 밖으로 나갈지며 나간 후에 문을 닫을지니라

13 아침마다 일년 되고 흠 없는 어린 양 하나로 번제를 갖추어 나 여호와께 드리고

14 또 아침마다 그것과 함께 드릴 소제를 갖추되 곧 밀가루 에바 육분지 일과 기름 힌 삼분지 일을 섞을 것이니 이는 영원한 규례를 삼아 항상 나 여호와께 드릴 소제라

15 이와 같이 아침마다 그 어린 양과 밀가루와 기름을 갖추어 항상 드리는 번제를 삼을지니라

16 나 주 여호와가 말하노라 왕이 만일 한 아들에게 선물을 준즉 그의 기업이 되어 그 자손에게 속하나니 이는 그 기업을 이어 받음이어니와

17 왕이 만일 그 기업으로 한 종에게 선물로 준즉 그 종에게 속하여 희년까지 이르고 그 후에는 왕에게로 돌아갈 것이니 왕의 기업은 그 아들이 이어 받을 것임이니라

18 왕은 백성의 기업을 취하여 그 산업에서 쫓아내지 못할지니 왕이 자기 아들에게 기업으로 줄 것은 자기 산업으로만 할 것임이니라 백성으로 각각 그 산업을 떠나 흩어지지 않게 할 것이니라

19 그 후에 그가 나를 데리고 문곁 통행구로 말미암아 제사장의 북향한 거룩한 방에 들어가시니 그 방뒤 서편에 한 처소가 있더라

20 그가 내게 이르시되 이는 제사장이 속건제와 속죄제 희생을 삶으며 소제 제물을 구울 처소니 그들이 이 성물을 가지고 바깥 뜰에 나가면 백성을 거룩하게 할까 함이니라 하시고

21 나를 데리고 바깥 뜰로 나가서 나로 뜰 네 구석을 지나가게 하시는데 본즉 그 뜰 매 구석에 또 뜰이 있는데

22 뜰 네 구석에 있는 그 뜰에 담이 둘렸으니 뜰의 장이 사십척이요 광이 삼십척이라 구석의 네 뜰이 한 척수며

23 그 작은 네 뜰 사면으로 돌아가며 부엌이 있고 그 사면 부엌에 삶는 기구가 설비되었었는데

24 그가 내게 이르시되 이는 삶는 부엌이니 전에 수종드는 자가 백성의 제물을 여기서 삶을 것이니라 하시더라

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.
