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

9927. 'When he goes into the holy place before Jehovah, and when he comes out' means in every state of good and truth in worship. This is clear from the meaning of 'going into the holy place' and 'going in before Jehovah' as worship, dealt with above in 9903, 9907. The reason why the state of good and truth in worship is what is meant is that everything constituting the worship of the Israelite and Jewish nation was representative of internal worship, and internal worship springs from good and truth, or rather from an affection for good and a belief in truth. The reason why their every state is meant is that it says 'when he goes in' and 'when he comes out', and 'going in and coming out' means all aspects of the state. For actions that involve movement from place to place, such as walking, moving about, or advancing, mean the state of the thoughts and affection belonging to whatever thing they refer to, and so in a general sense they mean the state of life. As regards 'walking', that it has this meaning, see 519, 1794, 3335, 4882, 5493, 5605, 8417, 8420, as likewise do 'advancing' and 'journeying on', 8103, 8181, 8397, 8557; and in the next life movements and advancements from place to place are states, 1273-1277, 1376-1381, 2837, 3356, 9440. From this it is evident that 'going in and coming out' means the whole of a state of life or of whatever thing these words refer to. And because they refer here to worship springing from good and truth, the entire state of good and truth in worship is what 'going in and coming out' means.

[2] The origins of this meaning of 'going in and coming out' lie in representatives in the next life. For they who are there move about, walk, advance, go in and come out, just as in the world. But all these movements take place in accord with the state of the life of their thoughts and affections, see the places referred to above. They are not however immediately aware of the fact that these are the origin of the movements they make, or that those movements are correspondences, and for this reason real appearances. From this it is evident that all forms of movement mean things which constitute states of life. So it is that 'going in and coming out' means the entire state of life, thus the state of whatever thing these words refer to, from beginning to end. This is the source of the customary saying used by the ancients, that they knew someone's going in and coming out, or entering and departing, by which they meant that they knew the entire state of his life. And since this saying traces its origin back, as stated above, to correspondences in the next life, a similar use of the saying occurs in the Word; and where it occurs it has a similar meaning, as in the following places: In the first Book of Samuel,

Achish called David and said to him, You have been upright, and your going out and your coming in with me in the camp has been good in my eyes. For I have not found evil in you. 1 Samuel 29:6.

'Your going out and your coming in has been good in my eyes' stands for the fact that he was well pleased with the entire state of the other's life.

[3] In the second Book of Samuel,

You know Abner, that he has come to persuade you, and in order that he may know your departing and your entering, and that he may know everything that you do. 2 Samuel 3:25.

'Knowing the departure and entrance' stands for knowing all the thoughts and deeds of his life, which is why it also says, 'and that he may know everything that you do'. In the second Book of Kings,

I know your sitting, and your going out, and your coming in, and that you rage 1 against Me. 2 Kings 19:27; Isaiah 37:28.

This refers to Sennacherib, king of Assyria. 'Knowing his going out and his coming in' stands for knowledge of all aspects of what he plans. In David,

Jehovah will guard you from all evil, He will guard your soul. Jehovah will guard your going out and your coming in from now and even for evermore. Psalms 121:7-8.

'Guarding the going out and the coming in' stands for protecting every aspect of life in keeping with a state of good and truth.

[4] In Moses,

Let Jehovah God of the spirits of all flesh set 2 a man over the congregation, who may go out before them, and who may come in before them, and who may lead them out, and who may bring them in, that the congregation of Jehovah may not be like a flock which have no shepherd. Numbers 27:16-17.

'Who may go out before them, and who may come in before them' stands for one who may lead them, and so whom they may look to and follow in every state of life. In John,

He who does not go through the door into the sheepfold but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief and a robber. But he who goes in through the door is the shepherd of the sheep. I am the door; if anyone goes in through Me he will be saved, and will go in and come out and find pasture. John 10:1-2, 9.

'Going in' here means doing so into heaven, thus into the good of love and faith since that good composes heaven. 'Going in and coming out' consequently means being led by the Lord in every state of life, and therefore thinking and willing good in freedom, that is, in love and faith received from the Lord since love and faith constitute freedom.

[5] In Luke,

Jesus sent the twelve disciples to preach the kingdom of God, and said to them, Whatever house you go into, there stay, and from there come out. Luke 9:4.

'Going into a house, staying there, and from there coming out' stands for the enjoyment of heavenly fellowship with those who receive the Lord in faith and love; for in heaven those who live together in the same community are also in the same house, which they go into and come out from, since they are governed by a like good. But those governed by an unlike good cannot do so; or if they do get in, they do not go in through the doors but by some other way. Anyone who does not know that these kinds of things are meant cannot know what is implied by the command that whatever house they went into, there they were to stay and from there come out.

[6] In Ezekiel,

When the prince goes in he shall go in by way of the porch of the gate, and come out by the same way. When the people of the land go in before Jehovah at the appointed feasts, anyone going in by way of the north gate to worship shall come out by way of the south gate; and anyone going in by way of the south gate shall come out by way of the north gate. He shall not return by way of the gate through which he had gone in, but shall come out straight before him. The prince however shall be in their midst; when they go in he shall go in, and when they come out he shall come out. Ezekiel 46:8-10.

These verses refer in the internal sense to a new heaven and a new Church, 'the prince' meaning the truth of faith springing from the good of love. In what manner that truth enters in with angels in heaven and with people of the Church on earth, and how after this it develops when it passes by an external way to more internal things, and when it passes by an internal way to more external ones, is described in those verses by the going in and coming out of the prince and the people of the land. 'The south' is the state of the truth of faith in the internal man, and 'the north' the state of it in the external man. 'Going in and coming out' is the state of life so far as good and truth, thus so far as worship, are concerned.

[7] From all this it may be recognized quite plainly that 'going in' and 'coming out' are descriptive of things such as belong to states of life conditioned by good and truth. For apart from this what real meaning could the prescription have, that the prince should go in by the one or the other gate, and the people of the land likewise? 'The house' here, or the temple, which they went into and came out from, means heaven and the Church, see 3720; 'the prince' the truth of faith, 5044; 'the people of the land' those who are in heaven or who belong to the Church, 2928; 'the way' that which leads to truth, 627, 2333; 'the gate' doctrinal teachings, 2851, 3187; 'the south' where truth dwells in light, 9642, thus truth in the internal man; and 'the north' where truth dwells in obscurity, 3708, thus truth in the external man.
