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.

9552. 'Its pomegranates' means factual knowledge of good. This is clear from the meaning of 'pomegranates' as factual knowledge of good. There is factual knowledge of good and factual knowledge of truth; the former is meant by 'pomegranates' and the latter by 'flowers' which embellished the lampstand all around. The fact that factual knowledge of good is meant by 'pomegranates' is clear from other places where they are mentioned, as in Moses,

A land of wheat and barley, and of the vine and of the fig and of the pomegranate. Deuteronomy 8:8.

And in Haggai,

Is seed not as yet in the barn? And [has nothing whatever borne fruit,] even to the vine, or the fig tree, or the pomegranate? Haggai 2:19.

'Wheat and barley' and 'seed in the barn' mean things that are celestial, both internal and external, 'the vine, the fig tree, and the pomegranate' those that are spiritual and natural, in their proper order. The lowest of these is factual knowledge, which exists on the natural and sensory level of the human mind; and this is why 'the pomegranate' is mentioned last.

[2] In Zephaniah,

Jehovah will destroy Asshur. Flocks will repose in the midst of her, every wild animal of [that] nation. The spoonbill also and the duck will lodge in its pomegranates. 1 Zephaniah 2:13-14.

'The spoonbill and the duck in its pomegranates' stands for falsities arising from evil that are present in factual knowledge of good. In Amos,

I saw the Lord standing over the altar, and He said, Strike the pomegranate, 2 that the posts may shake; that is, split them all on the head. The last of them I will kill with the sword. Amos 9:1.

'Striking the pomegranate' stands for destroying factual knowledge of good by means of falsities arising from evil. 'The posts' are said 'to shake' then because 'the posts' are the truths of the natural, 7847. 'Killing the last with the sword' stands for destroying in that way the lowest of these; for 'the sword' is truth battling against falsity and destroying it, or falsity battling against truth and destroying it, 2799, 4499, 6353, 7102, 8294.

脚注:

1. The original Hebrew word is thought to describe capitals shaped like pomegranates.

2. What this refers to exactly, whether to capitals or to people of high rank, is not clear.

7102. 'Lest perhaps He fall on us with pestilence and sword' means to avoid the damnation of evil and falsity. This is clear from the meaning of 'lest perhaps He fall on' as lest they run into - into damnation; from the meaning of 'pestilence' as the damnation of evil, dealt with below; and from the meaning of 'sword' as the vastation of truth, and also the punishment of falsity, dealt with in 2799, and so also as damnation, since the punishment of falsity, when truth has been devasted, is damnation.

[2] The Word mentions four kinds of vastation and punishment - sword, famine, evil wild animal, and pestilence. 'Sword' means the vastation of truth and the punishment of falsity; 'famine' the vastation of good and the punishment of evil; 'evil wild animal' the punishment of evil that arises out of falsity; and 'pestilence' the punishment of evil that does not arise out of falsity but out of evil. And since punishment is meant, damnation is meant also, since damnation is the punishment suffered by those who persist in evil. Those four kinds of punishment are referred to as follows in Ezekiel,

. . . when I shall send My four severe 1 judgements - sword, and famine, and evil wild animal, and pestilence - onto Jerusalem, to cut off man and beast from it. Ezekiel 14:21.

In the same prophet,

I will send famine and evil wild animals upon you, and I will make you bereft. And pestilence and blood will pass through you; in particular I will bring the sword upon you. Ezekiel 5:17.

[3] The meaning of 'pestilence' as the punishment of evil and its damnation is evident from the following places: In Ezekiel,

Those in waste places will die by the sword, and the one who is in the open field 2 I will give to the wild animals to devour him, and those who are in fortifications and caverns will die from pestilence. Ezekiel 33:27.

'In waste places dying by the sword' stands for suffering the vastation of truth and consequently the damnation of falsity. 'The one who is in the open field being given to the wild animals to devour him' stands for the damnation of those ruled by evil arising out of falsity. 'Those who are in fortifications and caverns, dying from pestilence' stands for the damnation of evil which uses falsity to fortify itself.

[4] In the same prophet,

The sword is without, and pestilence and famine within; he that is in the field will die by the sword, but him that is in the city famine and pestilence will devour. Ezekiel 7:15.

'The sword' stands for the vastation of truth and the damnation of falsity; 'famine' and 'pestilence' stand for the vastation of good and the damnation of evil. The sword is said to be 'without' and famine and pestilence 'within' because the vastation of truth takes place externally but the vastation of good internally. When however a person leads a life that rests on falsity, damnation is meant by the words 'he that is in the field will die by the sword'; and when a person leads a life ruled by evil which he defends by the use of falsity, damnation is meant by the words 'him that is in the city famine and pestilence will devour'.

[5] In Leviticus,

I will bring upon you a sword executing the vengeance of the covenant; wherever you are gathered into your cities, I will send pestilence into the midst of you, and you will be delivered 3 into the hand of the enemy. When I have cut off your supply of bread 4 ... Leviticus 26:25-26.

Here in a similar way 'a sword' stands for the vastation of truth and the damnation of falsity, 'pestilence' for the damnation of evil. The vastation of good, meant by 'famine', is described when [the Lord] speaks of cutting off their supply of bread. 'Cities' into which they would be gathered has the same meaning as 'the city' just above - falsities that are used to defend evils. For the meaning of 'cities' as truths, and so in the contrary sense as falsities, see 402, 2268, 2712, 2943, 3216, 4492, 4493.

[6] In Ezekiel,

Therefore because you have defiled My sanctuary with all your abominations, a third part of you will die from pestilence, and be annihilated [by famine] in your midst; then a third will fall by the sword around you; finally I will scatter a third to every wind, so that I will draw out a sword after them. Ezekiel 5:11-12.

'Famine' stands for the damnation of evil, 'sword' for the damnation of falsity. 'Scattering to every wind' and 'drawing out a sword after them' stand for getting rid of truths and seizing on falsities.

[7] In Jeremiah,

If they offer burnt offering or minchah, I am not accepting those things, but I will consume those people by sword, famine, and pestilence. Jeremiah 14:12.

In the same prophet,

I will smite the inhabitants of this city, both man and beast; they will die from a great pestilence. Afterwards I will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah, and his servants, and the people, and those in this city left from the pestilence, and from the sword, and from the famine, into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar. He who remains in this city will die by the sword, and by famine, and by pestilence; but he who goes out and defects to the Chaldeans besieging you will live, and his soul will become spoil to him. Jeremiah 21:6-7, 9.

In the same prophet,

I will send sword, famine, and pestilence upon them, till they are consumed from upon the earth. Jeremiah 24:10.

Here also 'sword' means the vastation of truth, 'famine' the vastation of good, and 'pestilence' damnation; and 'sword', 'famine', and 'pestilence' have the same meanings in the following places as well: Jeremiah 27:8; 29:17-18; 32:24, 36; 34:17; 38:2; 42:17, 22; 44:13; Ezekiel 12:16.

[8] Since those three scourges follow in their own particular order [of severity], David was presented by the prophet Gad with the three. He had to choose between the coming of seven years of famine, fleeing three months before his enemies, or three days of pestilence in the land, 2 Samuel 24:13. ('Fleeing before his enemies' implies 'the sword'.) In Amos,

I have sent the pestilence upon you in the way of Egypt, I have killed your young men with the sword, along with your captured horses. 5 Amos 4:10.

'The pestilence in the way of Egypt' stands for the vastation of good by means of falsities, which are 'the way of Egypt'. 'Killing young men with the sword, along with captured horses' stands for the vastation of truth, truths being meant by 'young men' and intellectual concepts by 'horses', 5 2761, 2762, 3217, 5321, 6534.

[9] In Ezekiel,

Pestilence and blood will pass through you. Ezekiel 5:17.

In the same prophet,

I will send upon her pestilence and blood in her streets. Ezekiel 28:23.

Here 'pestilence' stands for good that has been adulterated, and 'blood' for truth that has been falsified. For the meaning of 'blood' as falsified truth, see 4735, 6978.

[10] In David,

You will not be afraid of the terror of the night, of the arrow that flies by day, of the pestilence that creeps in thick darkness, of death that lays waste at noonday. Psalms 91:5-6.

'The terror of the night' stands for falsity which lies concealed; 'the arrow that flies by day' for falsity which is out in the open; 'the pestilence that creeps in thick darkness' for evil which lies concealed; 'death which lays waste at noonday' for evil which is out in the open. The fact that 'pestilence' means evil and the damnation of evil is evident from the use of the word 'death', which is distinguished here from pestilence solely by its being said of death that it 'lays waste at noonday' but of pestilence that it 'creeps in thick darkness'. In the same author,

He opened a way for His anger; He did not spare their soul from death, and He subjected their life to pestilence. Psalms 78:50.

This refers to the Egyptians, 'pestilence' standing for every kind of evil and its damnation.
