1 Bukod dito'y gagawin mo ang tabernakulo na may sangpung tabing; na linong pinili, at bughaw, at kulay-ube, at pula, na may mga querubin na gawa ng bihasang manggagawa, iyong gagawin.

2 Ang magiging haba ng bawa't tabing ay dalawang pu't walong siko, at ang luwang ng bawa't tabing ay apat na siko: lahat ng tabing ay magkakaroon ng isang kasukatan.

3 Limang tabing ay papagsusugpunging isa't isa; at ang ibang limang tabing ay papagsusugpunging isa't isa.

4 At gagawa ka ng mga presilyang bughaw sa gilid ng isang tabing sa hangganan ng pagkakasugpong, at gayon din gagawin mo sa gilid ng ikalawang tabing na nasa ikalawang pagkakasugpong.

5 Limang pung presilya ang iyong gagawin sa isang tabing, at limang pung presilya ang iyong gagawin sa gilid ng tabing na nasa ikalawang pagkakasugpong; ang mga presilya ay magkakatapat na isa't isa.

6 At limang pung pangawit na ginto ang iyong gagawin at pagsusugpungin mo ang mga tabing sa pamamagitan ng mga kawit; at magiging isa lamang.

7 At gagawa ka ng mga tabing na balahibo ng kambing na pinaka tolda sa ibabaw ng tabernakulo: labing isang tabing ang iyong gagawin.

8 Ang magiging haba ng bawa't tabing ay tatlong pung siko, at ang luwang ng bawa't tabing ay apat na siko: ang labing isang tabing ay magkakaroon ng isang sukat.

9 At iyong papagsusugpungin ang limang tabing, at gayon din ang anim na tabing, at iyong ititiklop ang ikaanim na tabing sa harapan ng tabernakulo.

10 At limang pung presilya ang iyong gagawin sa tagiliran ng isang tabing na nasa hangganan ng pagkakasugpong, at limang pung presilya sa tagiliran ng ikalawang pagkakasugpong.

11 At gagawa ka ng limang pung pangawit na tanso, at ikakabit mo ang mga pangawit sa mga presilya at pagsusugpungin mo ang tolda upang maging isa.

12 At ang dakong nakalawit na nalalabi sa mga tabing ng tolda, na siyang kalahati ng tabing na nalalabi ay ilalaylay sa likuran ng tabernakulo.

13 At ang siko ng isang dako at ang siko ng kabilang dako niyaong nalalabi sa haba ng mga tabing ng tolda, ay ilalaylay sa mga tagiliran ng tabernakulo, sa dakong ito at sa dakong yaon, upang takpan.

14 At gagawa ka ng isang pangtakip sa tolda na balat ng lalaking tupa na tininang pula, at isang pangtakip na balat ng poka, sa ibabaw.

15 At igagawa mo ng mga tabla ang tabernakulo, na kahoy na akasia na mga patayo.

16 Sangpung siko ang magiging haba ng isang tabla, at isang siko at kalahati ang luwang ng bawa't tabla.

17 Dalawang mitsa magkakaroon ang bawa't tabla na nagkakasugpong na isa't isa: ang gagawin mo sa lahat ng tabla ng tabernakulo.

18 At igagawa mo ng mga tabla ang tabernakulo: dalawang pung tabla sa tagilirang timugan sa dakong timugan.

19 At gagawa ka ng apat na pung tungtungang pilak upang ilagay sa ilalim ng dalawang pung tabla, dalawang tungtungan sa bawa't tabla na ukol sa kaniyang dalawang mitsa, at dalawang tungtungan sa ilalim ng ibang tabla na ukol sa kaniyang dalawang mitsa:

20 At sa ikalawang tagiliran ng tabernakulo, sa dakong hilagaan, ay dalawang pung tabla:

21 At ang kanilang apat na pung tungtungang pilak; dalawang tungtungan sa ilalim ng isang tabla, at dalawang tungtungan sa ilalim ng kabilang tabla.

22 At sa dakong hulihan ng tabernakulo, sa dakong kalunuran ay igagawa mo ng anim na tabla.

23 At igagawa mo ng dalawang tabla ang mga sulok ng tabernakulo sa dakong hulihan.

24 At pagpapatungin sa dakong ibaba, at gayon din na maugnay sa itaas niyaon sa isang argolya; gayon ang gagawin sa dalawa; para sa dalawang sulok.

25 At magkakaroon ng walong tabla, at ang kanilang mga tungtungang pilak ay labing anim na tungtungan: dalawang tungtungan sa ilalim ng isang tabla, at dalawang tungtungan sa ilalim ng kabilang tabla.

26 At gagawa ka ng mga barakilan, na kahoy na akasia; lima sa mga tabla ng isang tagiliran ng tabernakulo;

27 At limang barakilan sa mga tabla ng kabilang tagiliran ng tabernakulo, at limang barakilan sa mga tabla ng tagiliran ng tabernakulo sa dakong hulihan, na dakong kalunuran.

28 At ang gitnang barakilan ay daraan sa kalagitnaan ng mga tabla mula sa isang dulo hanggang sa kabila.

29 At iyong babalutin ng ginto ang mga tabla, at gigintuin mo ang kanilang mga argolya na pagdaraanan ng mga barakilan: at iyong babalutin ng ginto ang mga barakilan.

30 At iyong itatayo ang tabernakulo ayon sa anyo niyaon, na ipinakita sa iyo sa bundok.

31 At gagawa ka ng isang lambong na bughaw at kulay-ube, at pula at linong pinili: na may mga querubing mainam ang pagkayari:

32 At iyong isasampay sa apat na haliging akasia na balot ng ginto, na pati ng kanilang mga pangipit ay ginto rin: na nakapatong sa ibabaw ng apat na tungtungang pilak.

33 At iyong ibibitin ang lambong sa ilalim ng mga pangalawit, at iyong ipapasok doon sa loob ng lambong ang kaban ng patotoo: at paghihiwalayin sa inyo ng lambong ang dakong banal at ang kabanalbanalang dako.

34 At iyong ilalagay ang luklukan ng awa sa ibabaw ng kaban ng patotoo sa kabanalbanalang dako.

35 At iyong ilalagay ang dulang sa labas ng lambong, at ang kandelero ay sa tapat ng dulang sa tagiliran ng tabernakulo na dakong timugan: at ang dulang ay ilalagay mo sa dakong hilagaan.

36 At igagawa mo ng isang tabing ang pintuan ng tolda na kayong bughaw at kulay-ube, at pula, at linong pinili, na yari ng mangbuburda.

37 At igagawa mo ang tabing ng limang haliging akasia at babalutin mo ng ginto; na ang sima ng mga yaon ay ginto rin: at ipagbububo mo ng limang tungtungan.

5319. 'And clothed him in robes of fine linen' means an outward sign denoting the celestial of the spiritual, 'robes of fine linen' being truths going forth from the Divine. This is clear from the meaning of 'robes' as truths, dealt with in 1073, 2576, 4545, 4763, 5248. The reason 'robes of fine linen' means truths going forth from the Divine is that a robe made of fine linen was absolutely white and at the same time shining, and truth going forth from the Divine is represented by robes which have that kind of brightness and splendour. And the reason for this is that heaven derives its brightness and splendour from the light that flows from the Lord; and the light that flows from the Lord is Divine Truth itself, 1053, 1521-1533, 1619-1632, 1776, 3195, 3222, 3339, 3485, 3636, 3643, 3862, 4415, 4419, 4526, 5219. This explains why, when the Lord was transfigured before Peter, James, and John, His clothing appeared as the light, Matthew 17:2; glistening, intensely white like snow, as no fuller on earth could bleach them, Mark 9:3; and dazzling, Luke 9:29. It was Divine Truth itself going forth from the Lord's Divine Human that was represented in this manner. But they are exterior truths that are represented in heaven by the brightness of robes, whereas interior truths are represented by the brightness and splendour of the face. This is why 'being clothed in robes of fine linen' at this point means an outward sign denoting truth going forth from the celestial of the spiritual, for this was what the Lord's Divine consisted in at this time.

[2] There are other places too in the Word where truth going forth from the Divine is meant by 'fine linen' and 'robes of fine linen', as in Ezekiel,

I clothed you with embroidered cloth, and shed you with badger, and swathed you in fine linen, and covered you in silk. Thus were you adorned with gold and silver, and your robes were fine linen, and silk, and embroidered cloth. Ezekiel 16:10, 13.

This refers to Jerusalem, which is used in these verses to mean the Ancient Church. The truths of this Church are described by robes made of embroidered cloth, fine linen, and silk, and by being adorned with gold and silver. 'Embroidered cloth' means truths existing as facts, 'fine linen' natural truths, and 'silk' spiritual truths.

[3] In the same prophet,

Fine linen with embroidered work from Egypt was your sail, that it might be to you an ensign; violet and purple from the islands of Elishah was your covering. Ezekiel 27:7.

This refers to Tyre, which too is used to mean the Ancient Church, but so far as cognitions of good and truth are concerned. 'Fine linen with embroidered work from Egypt, which was its sail' means truth obtained from factual knowledge, which was the outward sign of that Church.

[4] In John,

The merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over Babylon, since no one buys their wares any more, wares of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and every vessel of ivory, and every vessel made of most precious wood, and bronze, and iron, and marble. Revelation 18:11-12.

All the specific commodities mentioned here mean the kinds of things that have to do with the Church and so truth and goodness. Here however they are used in the contrary sense because they are spoken of in reference to Babylon. Anyone may see that such commodities would never have been listed in the Word which has come down from heaven unless each one held something heavenly within it. What other reason can there be for a list of worldly wares when Babylon, meaning an unholy Church, is the subject? Similarly in the same book,

Woe, woe, the great city, you that were clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, covered 1 with gold, and precious stones, and pearls. Revelation 18:16.

[5] The fact that each commodity means something Divine and heavenly is quite evident in the same book where it states what fine linen is, namely the righteous acts of the saints,

The time of the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready. At that time she was given fine linen, clean and shining, to wear; for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. Revelation 19:7-8.

'Fine linen' is 'the righteous acts of the saints' for the reason that all those with whom truth received from the Divine exists are clothed with the Lord's righteousness. For their robes which are bright and shining are products of the light which flows from the Lord. Therefore in heaven truth itself is represented by 'brightness', 3301, 3997, 4007; and people who are being raised to heaven from a state of vastation are seen to be clothed with brightness because they are at this point casting off the robe of their own righteousness and putting on that of the Lord's righteousness.

[6] So that truth from the Divine might be represented in the Jewish Church, they were commanded to use cotton or fine linen in Aaron's vestments, and also in the curtains around the Ark, referred to in Moses as follows,

You shall make in chequered pattern for Aaron a tunic of cotton, and you shall make a turban of cotton. Exodus 28:39.

They made tunics of cotton, the work of a weaver, for Aaron and his sons. Exodus 39:27.

You shall make the Dwelling-place, ten curtains - fine-twined cotton, violet and purple and twice-dyed scarlet. Exodus 26:1; 36:8.

You shall make the court of the Dwelling-place. The hangings for the court shall be of fine-twined cotton. Exodus 27:9, 18; 38:9.

The screen for the gate of the court, the work of an embroiderer, violet and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine-twined cotton. Exodus 38:18.

Cotton is fine linen, which they were commanded to use because each object in the Ark and around the Ark, also every detail of Aaron's vestments, were representative of spiritual and celestial realities. From this one may see that a person has only a meagre understanding of the Word if he does not know what such things represent, and scarcely any understanding at all if he thinks that the Word possesses no holiness other than that which presents itself in the letter.

[7] When angels with whom truth from the Divine is present are seen by anyone they are clothed so to speak in fine linen, that is, in shining brightness, as is evident in John where 'a white horse' is referred to,

The One seated on a white horse was clothed in a garment dyed with blood, and His name is called the Word. His armies in heaven were following Him on white horses; they were clothed in fine linen, white and clean. Revelation 19:11, 13-14.

These words show quite plainly that 'fine linen' is an outward sign denoting truth from the Divine, for 'the One seated on a white horse' is the Lord as to the Word; indeed those words state quite explicitly that He is the Word. The Word is truth itself received from the Divine, and 'a white horse' is the internal sense of the Word, see 2760-2762. Consequently truths received from the Divine are meant by 'white horses', for such truths constitute the whole of the internal sense of the Word. This was why His armies were seen 'on white horses' and why 'they were clothed in fine linen, white and clean'.
