1 Y HARAS el tabernáculo de diez cortinas de lino torcido, cárdeno, y púrpura, y carmesí: y harás querubines de obra delicada.

2 La longitud de la una cortina de veintiocho codos, y la anchura de la misma cortina de cuatro codos: todas las cortinas tendrán una medida.

3 Cinco cortinas estarán juntas la una con la otra, y cinco cortinas unidas la una con la otra.

4 Y harás lazadas de cárdeno en la orilla de la una cortina, en el borde, en la juntura: y así harás en la orilla de la postrera cortina en la juntura segunda.

5 Cincuenta lazadas harás en la una cortina, y Cincuenta lazadas harás en el borde de la cortina que está en la segunda juntura: las lazadas estarán contrapuestas la una á la otra.

6 Harás también cincuenta corchetes de oro, con los cuales juntarás las cortinas la una con la otra, y se formará un tabernáculo.

7 Harás asimismo cortinas de pelo de cabras para una cubierta sobre el tabernáculo; once cortinas harás.

8 La longitud de la una cortina será de treinta codos, y la anchura de la misma cortina de cuatro codos: una medida tendrán las once cortinas.

9 Y juntarás las cinco cortinas aparte y las otras seis cortinas separadamente; y doblarás la sexta cortina delante de la faz del tabernáculo.

10 Y harás cincuenta lazadas en la orilla de la una cortina, al borde en la juntura, y cincuenta lazadas en la orilla de la segunda cortina en la otra juntura.

11 Harás asimismo cincuenta corchetes de alambre, los cuales meterás por las lazadas: y juntarás la tienda, para que se haga una sola cubierta.

12 Y el sobrante que resulta en las cortinas de la tienda, la mitad de la una cortina que sobra, quedará á las espaldas del tabernáculo.

13 Y un codo de la una parte, y otro codo de la otra que sobra en la longitud de las cortinas de la tienda, cargará sobre los lados del tabernáculo de la una parte y de la otra, para cubrirlo.

14 Harás también á la tienda una cubierta de cueros de carneros, teñidos de rojo, y una cubierta de cueros de tejones encima.

15 Y harás para el tabernáculo tablas de madera de Sittim, que estén derechas.

16 La longitud de cada tabla será de diez codos, y de codo y medio la anchura de cada tabla.

17 Dos quicios tendrá cada tabla, trabadas la una con la otra; así harás todas las tablas del tabernáculo.

18 Harás, pues, las tablas del tabernáculo: veinte tablas al lado del mediodía, al austro.

19 Y harás cuarenta basas de plata debajo de las veinte tablas; dos basas debajo de la una tabla para sus dos quicios, y dos basas debajo de la otra tabla para sus dos quicios.

20 Y al otro lado del tabernáculo, á la parte del aquilón, veinte tablas;

21 Y sus cuarenta basas de plata: dos basas debajo de la una tabla, y dos basas debajo de la otra tabla.

22 Y para el lado del tabernáculo, al occidente, harás seis tablas.

23 Harás además dos tablas para las esquinas del tabernáculo en los dos ángulos posteriores;

24 Las cuales se unirán por abajo, y asimismo se juntarán por su alto á un gozne: así será de las otras dos que estarán á las dos esquinas.

25 De suerte que serán ocho tablas, con sus basas de plata, diez y seis basas; dos basas debajo de la una tabla, y dos basas debajo de la otra tabla.

26 Harás también cinco barras de madera de Sittim, para las tablas del un lado del tabernáculo,

27 Y cinco barras para las tablas del otro lado del tabernáculo, y cinco barras para el otro lado del tabernáculo, que está al occidente.

28 Y la barra del medio pasará por medio de las tablas, del un cabo al otro.

29 Y cubrirás las tablas de oro, y harás sus anillos de oro para meter por ellos las barras: también cubrirás las barras de oro.

30 Y alzarás el tabernáculo conforme á su traza que te fue mostrada en el monte.

31 Y harás también un velo de cárdeno, y púrpura, y carmesí, y de lino torcido: será hecho de primorosa labor, con querubines:

32 Y has de ponerlo sobre cuatro columnas de madera de Sittim cubiertas de oro; sus capiteles de oro, sobre basas de plata.

33 Y pondrás el velo debajo de los corchetes, y meterás allí, del velo adentro, el arca del testimonio; y aquel velo os hará separación entre el lugar santo y el santísimo.

34 Y pondrás la cubierta sobre el arca del testimonio en el lugar santísimo.

35 Y pondrás la mesa fuera del velo, y el candelero enfrente de la mesa al lado del tabernáculo al mediodía; y pondrás la mesa al lado del aquilón.

36 Y harás á la puerta del tabernáculo una cortina de cárdeno, y púrpura, y carmesí, y lino torcido, obra de bordador.

37 Y harás para la cortina cinco columnas de madera de Sittim, las cuales cubrirás de oro, con sus capiteles de oro: y hacerlas has de fundición cinco basas de metal.

9614. Verses 7-14 And you shall make curtains from [she-]goats 1 to be a tent over the dwelling-place; eleven curtains you shall make them. The length of one curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the breadth four cubits; [this is what] one curtain [shall be]. The eleven curtains shall have one measure. And you shall join five curtains together by themselves, and six curtains by themselves; and you shall double over the sixth curtain at the forefront of the tent. And you shall make fifty loops on the edge of one end curtain in the joining-place, and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain of the complementary joining-place. And you shall make fifty clasps of bronze, and put the clasps into the loops, and join the tent together, that it may be one. And the additional part that trails backwards in the curtains of the tent, the half of the additional curtain, shall trail 2 over the back of the dwelling-place. And a cubit on one side and a cubit on the other side in the additional part in the length of the curtains of the tent shall trail over the sides of the dwelling-place on this side and on that side, to cover it. And you shall make a covering for the tent from the skins of red rams, and a covering from the skins of badgers above that.

'And you shall make curtains from [she-]goats to be a tent over the dwelling-place' means the external part of heaven which consists of the truths derived from external celestial good. 'Eleven curtains you shall make them' means all the truths that it consists of. 'The length of one curtain shall be thirty cubits' means the completeness of the truth derived from good. 'And the breadth four cubits' means the marriage of truth to good. '[This is what] one curtain [shall be]' means so shall it be for the individual truths. 'The eleven curtains shall have one measure' means that the state of affairs shall be the same [with each one]. 'And you shall join five curtains together by themselves, and six curtains by themselves' means unceasing communication of truth with good and of good with truth. 'And you shall double over the sixth curtain at the forefront of the tent' means the communication of all the realities of that heaven with the outermost parts there, and influx from these into the lowest heaven. 'And you shall make fifty loops on the edge of one end curtain in the joining-place' means a complete joining of one sphere to the other. 'And fifty loops on the edge of the curtain of the complementary joining-place' means a reciprocal joining of the same kind. 'And you shall make fifty clasps of bronze' means a complete ability derived from external good to join things together. 'And put the clasps into the loops' means the mode of the joining together. 'And join the tent together, that it may be one' means that the external part of the heaven is as a result altogether one. 'And the additional part that trails backwards in the curtains of the tent' means an extension. 'The half of the additional curtain, shall trail over the back of the dwelling-place' means to the last and lowest part of that heaven. 'And a cubit on one side and a cubit on the other side in the additional part in the length of the curtains of the tent shall trail over the sides of the dwelling-place on this side and on that side, to cover it' means the mode by which that last and lowest part extends from good, in order that the heaven may be rendered safe. 'And you shall make a covering for the tent' means a mantle around that heaven. 'From the skins of red rams' means [consisting of] external truths derived from good. 'And a covering from the skins of badgers above that' means outside that [another mantle], derived from external good.

9470. 'And wool of she-goats' means the good from this, that is to say, from the good of mutual love. The reason why 'wool of she-goats' means this good is that 'a she-goat' means the good of innocence in the external or natural man, 3519, 7840, and therefore 'wool' means the truth belonging to that good. However, since not truth but good is meant, the original language does not actually say 'wool of she-goats', only 'she-goats', as is also the case in other places, such as in the following words in Exodus,

All the skilled 1 women brought what they had spun, violet, purple, twice-dyed scarlet, [and] fine linen thread; and all the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun she-goats. Exodus 35:25-26.

'Spinning she-goats' stands for producing things woven from the wool of she-goats.

[2] The fact that 'wool' means truth from a celestial origin, which in itself is good, is clear from places in the Word where the actual word is used, as in Hosea,

[Their mother has committed whoredom.] She said, I will go after my lovers, those giving me my bread and my water, my wool and my linen. Therefore I will return and take back My grain in its season, and I will snatch away My wool and My linen. Hosea 2:5, 9.

This refers to a corrupted Church, meant here by 'mother'. 'The lovers' with whom she is said to have committed whoredom are those who pervert forms of good and truths. 'Bread' and 'water' mean internal forms of the good of love, and the internal truths of faith; 'wool' and 'flax' mean external ones.

[3] In Daniel,

I saw until thrones were placed, and the Ancient of Days was seated. His clothing was white as snow, and the hair of His head like pure wool. Daniel 7:9.

This refers to the Church laid waste so far as every truth of faith was concerned, and then restored by the Lord, its having been completely laid waste being meant in the words 'thrones were placed'. 'The Ancient of Days' is the Lord in respect of celestial good as this existed in the Most Ancient Church, which was a celestial Church. In the Word that good is called 'ancient', its external truth being meant by clothing which was 'white as snow', and its external good by hair of the head which was 'like pure wool'. Similar words occur in John,

... in the midst of the seven lampstands one like the Son of Man. His head and hair were white, like white wool, like snow. Revelation 1:13-14.

[4] This kind of truth, being in itself good because it is the outward form of celestial good, is again meant by 'wool' in Ezekiel,

Damascus was your merchant in the wine of Helbon and the wool of Zachar. 2 Ezekiel 27:18.

And in Isaiah,

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

[5] Because Aaron's garments represented the kinds of realities that belong to the Lord's spiritual kingdom, thus the spiritual realities that belong to truth, his 'holy garments' were made of linen and not of wool. For 'linen' is spiritual truth, whereas 'wool' is celestial truth, which in comparison is good. On this account it says in Ezekiel,

The priests, the Levites, the sons of Zadok, when they enter the gates of the inner court they shall put on the linen garments, and no wool shall come upon them. The linen turbans shall be on their heads, the linen undergarments shall be over their loins. Ezekiel 44:17-18.

The fact that Aaron's garments were made not of wool but of linen is clear from Leviticus 16:4, 32.

[6] From all this it becomes clear that 'linen' means spiritual truth, which is the truth of the good of faith, whereas 'wool' means celestial truth, which is the truth of the good of love. And since those endued with the latter kind of truth cannot be endued with the former, because the two are as different as the light of the sun is from the light of the stars, it was laid down that no one should wear a garment made of wool and linen mixed together, Deuteronomy 22:10-11. The fact that between what is celestial and what is spiritual there is such a difference, and that both cannot be together in one and the same person, see the places referred to in 9277.
