1 At ang Panginoon ay nagsalita kay Moises, na sinasabi,

2 Salitain mo sa mga anak ni Israel, na sila'y magdala sa akin ng isang handog: ang bawa't tao na maganyak ang puso sa kagandahang loob ay kukunan ninyo ng handog sa akin.

3 At ito ang handog na inyong kukunin sa kanila; ginto, at pilak, at tanso;

4 At kayong bughaw, kulay-ube, at pula, at lino at balahibo ng kambing;

5 At mga balat ng lalaking tupa na tinina sa pula, at mga balat ng poka, at kahoy na akasia;

6 Langis sa ilawan, mga espesia sa langis na pangpahid, at sa mabangong pangsuob;

7 Mga batong onix, at mga batong pangkalupkop sa efod, at sa pektoral.

8 At kanilang igawa ako ng isang santuario; upang ako'y makatahan sa gitna nila.

9 Ayon sa lahat ng aking ipinakita sa iyo, sa anyo ng tabernakulo at sa anyo ng lahat ng kasangkapan niyaon ay gayon ninyo gagawin.

10 At sila'y gagawa ng isang kaban na kahoy na akasia: na may dalawang siko't kalahati ang haba niyaon, at may isang siko't kalahati ang luwang niyaon, at may isang siko't kalahati ang taas niyaon.

11 At iyong babalutin ng taganas na ginto; sa loob at sa labas ay iyong babalutin, at igagawa mo sa ibabaw ng isang kornisa sa palibot.

12 At ipagbububo mo ng apat na argolyang ginto, at ipaglalagay mo sa apat na paa niyaon, at dalawang argolya ang mapapasa isang tagiliran niyaon, at dalawang argolya sa kabilang tagiliran niyaon.

13 At gagawa ka ng mga pingga na kahoy na akasia at iyong babalutin ng ginto.

14 At iyong isusuot ang mga pingga sa loob ng mga argolya, sa mga tagiliran ng kaban, upang mabuhat ang kaban.

15 Ang mga pingga ay masusuot sa loob ng mga argolya ng kaban: hindi aalisin doon.

16 At iyong isisilid sa kaban ang mga kinalalagdaan ng patotoo na aking ibibigay sa iyo.

17 At gagawa ka ng isang luklukan ng awa, na taganas na ginto: na may dalawang siko't kalahati ang haba niyaon, at may isang siko't kalahati ang luwang niyaon.

18 At gagawa ka ng dalawang querubing ginto; na yari sa pamukpok iyong gagawin, sa dalawang dulo ng luklukan ng awa.

19 At gawin mo ang isang querubin sa isang dulo, at ang isang querubin sa kabilang dulo: kaputol ng luklukan ng awa, gagawin mo ang mga querubin sa dalawang dulo niyaon.

20 At ibubuka ng mga querubin ang kanilang pakpak na paitaas, na nilililiman ang luklukan ng awa, ng kanilang mga pakpak, na ang kanilang mukha ay nagkakaharap, sa dakong luklukan ng awa ihaharap ang mga mukha ng mga querubin.

21 At iyong ilalagay ang luklukan ng awa sa ibabaw ng kaban; at sa loob ng kaban, ay iyong ilalagay ang mga kinalalagdaan ng patotoo, na aking ibibigay sa iyo.

22 At diya'y makikipagkita ako sa iyo, at makikipanayam sa iyo mula sa ibabaw ng luklukan ng awa, sa gitna ng dalawang querubin na nangasa ibabaw ng kaban ng patotoo, tungkol sa lahat ng mga bagay na ibibigay ko sa iyong utos sa mga anak ni Israel.

23 At gagawa ka ng isang dulang na kahoy na akasia: na may dalawang siko ang haba niyaon, at isang siko ang luwang niyaon, at isang siko't kalahati ang taas niyaon.

24 At iyong babalutin ng taganas na ginto, at igagawa mo ng isang kornisang ginto sa palibot.

25 At igagawa mo ng isang gilid na may isang palad ng kamay ang luwang sa palibot, at igagawa mo ng isang kornisang ginto ang palibot ng gilid niyaon.

26 At igagawa mo ng apat na argolyang ginto, at ilalagay mo ang mga argolya sa apat na sulok na ukol sa apat na paa niyaon.

27 Malalapit sa gilid ang mga argolya, sa daraanan ng mga pingga, upang madala ang dulang.

28 At gagawin mo ang mga pingga na kahoy na akasia, at iyong babalutin ng ginto, upang ang dulang ay madala ng mga yaon.

29 At gagawa ka ng mga pinggan niyaon, at ng mga kutsara niyaon, at ng mga kopa niyaon, at ng mga tasa niyaon na pagbubuhusan; na iyong gagawing taganas na ginto.

30 At ilalagay mo sa dulang ang tinapay na handog sa harap ko na palagi.

31 At gagawa ka ng isang kandelerong taganas na ginto: yari sa pamukpok gagawin mo ang kandelero, ang tuntungan niyaon, at ang haligi niyaon; ang mga kopa niyaon, ang mga globito niyaon at ang mga bulaklak niyaon ay mga kaputol:

32 At magkakaroon ng anim na sangang lumalabas sa mga tagiliran niyaon; tatlong sanga ng kandelero'y sa isang tagiliran niyaon, at ang tatlong sanga ng kandelero ay sa kabilang tagiliran niyaon:

33 At magkakaroon ng tatlong kopang anyong bulaklak ng almendro sa isang sanga, isang globito at isang bulaklak; at tatlong kopang anyong bulaklak ng almendro sa kabilang sanga, isang globito at isang bulaklak; at gayon sa anim na sangang lumalabas sa kandelero.

34 At sa haligi ng kandelero'y magkakaroon ng apat na kopang anyong bulaklak ng almendro, sangpu ng mga globito niyaon, at ng mga bulaklak niyaon:

35 At magkakaroon ng isang globito sa ilalim ng dalawa sa mga sanga, at isang globito sa ilalim ng kabilang dalawa sa mga sanga na kaputol niyaon, at isang globito sa ilalim ng dalawang sangang nalalabi ayon sa anim na sanga na lumalabas sa kandelero.

36 Ang magiging mga globito at mga sanga niyaon ay kaputol: kabuoan niyaon ay isa lamang putol na yari sa pamukpok, na taganas na ginto.

37 At igagawa mo ng kaniyang mga ilawan, na pito: at kanilang sisindihan ang mga ilawan niyaon, upang lumiwanag sa dakong tapat ng kandelero.

38 At ang magiging mga gunting at mga pinggan niyaon ay taganas na ginto.

39 Isang talentong taganas na ginto gagawin, sangpu ng lahat ng kasangkapang ito.

40 At ingatan mo, na iyong gawin ayon sa anyo ng mga yaon na ipinakita sa iyo sa bundok.

9553. 'And its flowers' means factual knowledge of truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'flowers' as factual knowledge of truth. Such knowledge is meant by 'flowers' because flowers are stages of growth which come before and in their own way lead on to fruit and seeds; for trees and young plants come into flower before they bear fruit, as is well known. The situation is similar with the intelligence and wisdom present in a person. Factual knowledge of truth comes first and in its own way leads on to the insights that constitute wisdom with the person; for that knowledge provides his rational mind with objects of thought and so the means to attain wisdom. This is why factual knowledge of truth is like the flowers, and goodness of life, which is the good of wisdom, is like the fruit. Since all realities in the spiritual world bear resemblance to such things as exist with a human being, for the reason that heaven resembles one complete human being and has a correspondence with every single aspect of the human being, therefore also all things in the natural world, according to their similarity to such things as exist with a human being, have a correspondence, a representation, and carry a spiritual meaning, 9496. From all this it now becomes clear why it is that factual knowledge of truth, and truths in general, are meant by 'flowers', and forms of good by 'the fruit' and also 'seeds'.

[2] The fact that factual knowledge of truth, and truths in general, are meant by 'flowers' is clear from the following places: In Isaiah,

Their root will be like rottenness, and their flower [will rise] like dust, because they have rejected the law of Jehovah Zebaoth, and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel. Isaiah 5:24.

In the same prophet,

Those who are to come Jacob will cause to take root. Israel will blossom and flower, so that the face of the earth (orbis) may be filled with produce. Isaiah 27:6.

In the same prophet,

Woe to the drunkards of Ephraim, and to the falling flower of glory 1 and of his beauty! Isaiah 28:1.

'The drunkards' stands for those whose reasoning is based on falsities, 1072; 'Ephraim' stands for the Church's understanding, in this instance when it has been perverted, 5354, 6222, 6234, 6238, 6267; and 'glory' stands for God's truth, 4809, 5922, 8267, 8427, 9429, from which it is evident that 'the flower' means factual knowledge through which truth comes forth. In the same prophet,

The grass withers, the flower falls; the people are grass. But the Word of our God remains forever. Isaiah 40:6-8.

In Nahum,

The flower of Lebanon languishes. Nahum 1:4.

Here also 'the flower' stands for factual knowledge serving as a means to the attainment of wisdom.

[3] In Daniel,

Nebuchadnezzar saw in a dream. Behold, a tree in the midst of the earth; its height was great, its leaf beautiful, and its flower much. Under it the beast of the field had shade, and in its branches dwelt the birds of the air; and all flesh was fed [from it]. But the Holy One from heaven crying out said, Hew down the tree, cut off its branches, get rid of its leaves, scatter its blossom. Let the beast of the field flee [from] under it, and the birds from its branches. Daniel 4:10-14.

'The tree' and 'its height' means the increase in the semblance of religion which is meant by 'Babel', a kind of religion that is holy outwardly but unholy inwardly, 1182, 1283, 1295, 1304, 1306-1308, 1321, 1322, 1326. 'Leaf' stands for factual knowledge of truth in general, 885, 'blossom' for factual knowledge of truth when it serves to lead to wisdom, but at this point when it serves to lead to stupidity since it says that they were to be scattered. 'The beast of the field' means those with affections for good, and in the contrary sense those with affections for evil, 45, 46, 142, 143, 246, 714, 715, 719, 776, 1823, 2179, 2180, 3218, 3519, 5198, 7523, 9090, 9280; but 'the birds of the air' are those with affections for truth, and in the contrary sense those with affections for falsity, 3219, 5149, 7441. This is why it says that the beast of the field dwelt under the shade of that tree, the birds of the air dwelt in its branches, and all flesh was fed [from it], and then that the beast of the field should flee [from] under it and the birds from its branches.

8427. 'And in the morning you will see the glory of Jehovah' means that at the beginning of a new state the arrival of the Lord is going to take place. This is clear from the meaning of 'the morning' as the beginning of a new state, dealt with immediately above in 8426; and from the meaning of 'the glory of Jehovah' as the presence and the arrival of the Lord. The reason why 'the glory' means the presence and the arrival of the Lord is that in the highest sense 'glory' is the Divine Truth which emanates from the Lord; and Divine Truth appears before angels' eyes as the light and splendour from the Sun, which is the Lord. For the meaning of 'the glory' as Divine Truth emanating from the Lord, see 5922, 8267; for its meaning intelligence and wisdom that belong to Divine Truth, 4809; and its consequently meaning the internal sense of the Word, since that sense is Divine Truth in glory, 5922.

[2] It says that in the morning they are going to see the glory of Jehovah because sunrise and its accompanying light (which in heaven brings light to angels' eyes, to both their outward and their inward sight) consequently the presence and arrival of the Lord (who is the Sun of heaven) corresponds to morning time on earth and is meant here by 'the morning'. The light from the sun then, which is Divine Truth emanating from the Lord, and for that reason is the Lord, is 'the glory'. From this it is evident that 'the glory' means the presence and arrival of the Lord. The fact that these are meant by 'the glory' is also evident from a number of places in the Word, such as in Moses,

The cloud covered the mountain, and the glory of Jehovah dwelt over Mount Sinai. And the cloud covered it six days. The sight of the glory of Jehovah was like a devouring fire on the top of the mountain, before the eyes of the children of Israel. Exodus 24:15-18.

Plainly, the presence of Jehovah, that is, of the Lord, appearing as a cloud and as fire on the mountain, is here called 'the glory of Jehovah'.

In the same author,

The cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of Jehovah filled the tabernacle. Nor could Moses enter the tent of meeting, because the cloud dwelt over it, and the glory of Jehovah filled the tabernacle. Exodus 40:34-35.

Here also the Lord's presence, appearing as a cloud, is called 'the glory'.

[3] In the same author,

Moses and Aaron entered the tent of meeting; and they came out and blessed the people. At that time the glory of Jehovah appeared to the whole people. Leviticus 9:23-24.

In the same author,

The glory of Jehovah appeared in the tent of meeting before all the children of Israel. Numbers 14:10-12.

Likewise in Numbers 16:19, 42. In the first Book of Kings,

The cloud filled the house of Jehovah, so that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud; for the glory of Jehovah filled the house of Jehovah. 1 Kings 8:10-11.

In John,

The temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from His power, so that no one was able to enter the temple. Revelation 15:8.

In the same book,

He showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, having the glory of God. The city has no need of the sun or of the moon to shed light in it; the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb. Revelation 21:10-11, 23.

Here 'the glory of God' plainly stands for light from the Lord, which is Divine Truth emanating from Him, and so is the presence of the Lord since the Lord is present in Truth coming from Him.

[4] The fact that 'the glory of Jehovah' means His presence is clear yet again in Moses,

Moses said to Jehovah, Show me, I beg You, Your glory He said to him, I will cause all My goodness to pass by before you. And when My glory passes by, it will happen, that I will put you in a cleft of the rock and cover My hand over you until I have passed by. But when I take My hand away you will see My back parts, and My face will not be seen. Exodus 33:18-end.

Here also 'Jehovah's glory' plainly stands for His presence. In Matthew,

The disciples said to Jesus, Tell us, what will be the sign of Your coming? Jesus said, Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear, and they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and glory. Matthew 24:3, 30.

The subject here is the final period of the former Church and the first of the new. 'The Son of Man' is God's truth emanating from the Lord; 'the clouds of heaven' are the Word in the sense of the letter, and 'power and glory' are the internal sense, thus Divine Truth which will be visible then. 'The Lord's coming' stands for the acceptance of God's truth by those belonging to the new Church and the rejection of it by those belonging to the old Church, see 4060 (end).

[5] The fact that the Lord in respect of Divine Truth is meant by 'the glory' is clear in Isaiah,

The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of Jehovah. The glory of Jehovah will be revealed, and all flesh will see it together. Isaiah 40:3, 5.

This refers to the Lord, who is 'the glory'. In John,

The Word became flesh and dwelt among us; and we saw His glory. glory as of the Only Begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14

In the same gospel,

These things Isaiah said when he saw His glory and spoke of Him. John 12:41.

Here 'glory' stands for the Lord. Similarly in Moses,

I am the Living One, and the whole earth will be filled with the glory of Jehovah. Numbers 14:21.

Here 'the glory of Jehovah' stands for the Coming or arrival of the Lord, and for enlightenment by Divine Truth emanating from Him.

[6] 'Glory' stands for the Lord's Divinity in Isaiah,

I am Jehovah, that is My name; and My glory I will not give to another. Isaiah 42:8.

In Mark,

... when the Son of Man comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels. Mark 8:38.

In Luke,

Ought [not] Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into His glory? Luke 24:26.

Since 'the glory of Jehovah' means the Lord in respect of Divine Truth, 'the glory' also means the Divine Wisdom and Intelligence that belong to Divine Truth emanating from the Lord. Wisdom and intelligence from God are meant by the glory in Ezekiel 1:28; 8:4; 9:3; 10:4, 18-19; 11:22-23; and there it is represented by 'a rainbow' such as one sees in a cloud.
