Ezekiel第44章

学习

   

1 Nang magkagayo'y ibinalik niya ako sa daan ng pintuan sa labas ng santuario, na nakaharap sa dakong silanganan; at ito'y nasara.

2 At sinabi ng Panginoon sa akin, Ang pintuang-daang ito ay sasarhan, hindi bubuksan, o papasukan man ng sinoman, sapagka't pinasukan ng Panginoon, ng Dios ng Israel; kaya't ito'y masasara.

3 Tungkol sa prinsipe, siya'y mauupo roon na pinaka prinsipe upang kumain ng tinapay sa harap ng Panginoon; siya'y papasok sa daan ng portiko ng pintuang-daan, at lalabas sa daan ding yaon.

4 Nang magkagayo'y dinala niya ako sa daan ng pintuang-daang hilagaan sa harap ng bahay: at ako'y tumingin, at, narito, napuno ng kaluwalhatian ng Panginoon ang bahay ng Panginoon: at nasubasob ako.

5 At ang Panginoon ay nagsabi sa akin, Anak ng tao, tandaan mong mabuti, at masdan mo ng iyong mga mata, at pakinggan mo ng iyong mga pakinig ang lahat na aking sinasabi sa iyo tungkol sa lahat ng alituntunin hinggil sa bahay ng Panginoon, at tungkol sa lahat ng kautusan doon; at tandaan mong mabuti ang pasukan ng bahay sangpu ng bawa't labasan sa santuario.

6 At iyong sasabihin sa mapanghimagsik, sa makatuwid baga'y sa sangbahayan ni Israel, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios: Oh kayong sangbahayan ni Israel, mangaglikat na kayo sa lahat ninyong kasuklamsuklam,

7 Sa inyong pagpapasok ng mga taga ibang lupa na hindi tuli sa puso at hindi tuli sa laman, upang malagay sa aking santuario, na lapastanganin yaon, sa makatuwid baga'y ang aking bahay, pagka inyong inihahandog ang aking tinapay, ang taba at ang dugo, at sinira nila ang aking tipan, upang idagdag sa lahat ninyong mga kasuklamsuklam.

8 At hindi ninyo iningatan ang katungkulan sa aking mga banal na bagay; kundi kayo'y nangaglagay ng mga tagapangasiwa sa aking santuario sa ganang inyong sarili.

9 Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios, Walang taga ibang lupa, na hindi tuli sa puso at hindi tuli sa laman na papasok sa aking santuario, kahit sinomang taga ibang lupa na nasa gitna ng mga anak ni Israel.

10 Nguni't ang mga Levita na nagsilayo sa akin nang ang Israel ay maligaw sa akin sa pagsunod sa kanilang mga diosdiosan; mangagdadanas sila ng kanilang kasamaan.

11 Gayon ma'y magiging tagapangasiwa sila sa aking santuario, na sila ang mamamahala sa mga pintuang-daan ng bahay, at magsisipangasiwa sa bahay: kanilang papatayin ang handog na susunugin at ang hain para sa bayan, at sila'y magsisitayo sa harap ng mga yaon upang pangasiwaan nila.

12 Sapagka't kanilang pinangasiwaan sila sa harap ng kanilang mga diosdiosan, at naging ikatitisod sila sa ikasasama ng sangbahayan ni Israel; kaya't itinaas ko ang aking kamay laban sa kanila, sabi ng Panginoong Dios, at dadanasin nila ang kanilang kasamaan.

13 At hindi sila magsisilapit sa akin upang magsagawa ng katungkulan ng saserdote sa akin, o magsisilapit man sa alin man sa mga banal na bagay ko, sa mga bagay na kabanalbanalan; kundi tataglayin nila ang kanilang kahihiyan, at ang kanilang mga kasuklamsuklam na kanilang ginawa.

14 Gayon ma'y gagawin ko silang tagapangasiwa sa bahay, para sa buong paglilingkod doon, at sa lahat na gagawin doon.

15 Nguni't ang mga saserdoteng Levita na mga anak na lalake ni Sadoc, na nagiingat ng katungkulan sa aking santuario nang ang mga anak ni Israel ay magsihiwalay sa akin, sila'y magsisilapit sa akin upang magsipangasiwa sa akin; at sila'y magsisitayo sa harap ko upang mangaghandog sa akin ng taba at ng dugo, sabi ng Panginoong Dios:

16 Sila'y magsisipasok sa aking santuario, at sila'y magsisilapit sa aking dulang, upang magsipangasiwa sa akin, at iingatan nila ang kanilang katungkulan sa akin.

17 At mangyayari, na pagka sila'y magsisipasok sa mga pintuang-daan ng lalong loob na looban, susuutan sila ng mga kayong linong kasuutan; at walang lanang dadaiti sa kanila, samantalang sila'y nagsisipangasiwa sa mga pintuang-daan ng lalong loob na looban, at sa loob.

18 Sila'y mangagpupugong ng kayong lino sa kanilang mga ulo, at mangagtatapi ng kayong lino sa kanilang mga balakang; hindi sila mangagbibigkis ng anomang nakapagpapapawis.

19 At pagka kanilang lalabasin ang mga tao sa looban sa labas, ng bahay, kanilang huhubarin ang kanilang mga kasuutan na kanilang ipinangangasiwa, at ilalagay nila ang mga ito sa mga banal na silid; at mangagsusuot sila ng ibang mga kasuutan, upang huwag nilang banalin ang mga tao ng kanilang mga kasuutan.

20 Ni aahitan man nila ang kanilang mga ulo, ni titiisin man ang kanilang buhok ay humaba; kanila lamang gugupitan ang kanilang mga ulo.

21 Ni iinom ng alak ang sinomang saserdote pagka sila'y magsisipasok sa lalong loob na looban.

22 Ni mangagaasawa man sa babaing bao, o sa inihiwalay man: kundi sila'y magaasawa ng mga dalaga sa lahi ng sangbahayan ni Israel, o ng babaing bao na nabao sa saserdote.

23 At kanilang ituturo sa aking bayan ang pagkakaiba ng banal at ng karaniwan, at ipakikilala nila sa kanila ang marumi at malinis.

24 At sa pagtatalo ay magsisitayo sila upang magsihatol; ayon sa aking mga kahatulan ay kanilang hahatulan: at kanilang iingatan ang aking mga kautusan at ang aking mga palatuntunan sa lahat kong takdang kapistahan; at kanilang ipangingilin ang aking mga sabbath.

25 At hindi sila magsisilapit sa alin mang patay na tao na mangagpakahawa; nguni't sa ama, o sa ina, o sa anak na lalake, o babae, sa kapatid na lalake, o babae na hindi nagkaasawa, maaaring mangagpakahawa sila.

26 At pagkatapos na siya'y malinis, sila'y bibilang sa kaniya ng pitong araw.

27 At sa kaarawan na siya'y pumasok sa santuario, sa lalong loob na looban upang mangasiwa sa santuario, siya'y maghahandog ng kaniyang handog dahil sa kasalanan, sabi ng Panginoong Dios.

28 At sila'y mangagkakaroon ng mana; ako'y kanilang mana; at hindi ninyo bibigyan sila ng pag-aari sa Israel; ako'y kanilang pag-aari.

29 Sila'y magsisikain ng handog na harina, at ng handog dahil sa kasalanan, at ng handog dahil sa pagkakasala; at bawa't bagay na itinalaga sa Israel ay magiging kanila.

30 At ang una sa lahat na unang bunga ng bawa't bagay, at lahat na alay na bawa't bagay, sa lahat ninyong mga alay ay magiging sa saserdote: inyo rin namang ibibigay sa mga saserdote ang una sa inyong masa upang pagpalain ang inyong bahay.

31 Ang mga saserdote ay hindi kakain ng anomang bagay na namamatay sa kaniyang sarili, o nalapa, maging ibon o hayop man.

9659. 'And there shall be eight boards and their bases [made] from silver' means support in every respect from good and through truth that springs from good. This is clear from the meaning of 'eight' as what is so in every respect, dealt with below; from the meaning of 'boards' as good that lends support, dealt with in 9634; and from the meaning of 'bases [made] from silver' as support provided through truth from good, dealt with in 9643.

[2] 'Eight' means in every respect because this number has the same meaning as two and four, being the product of these when multiplied together. 'Two' and 'four' mean being joined together, completely so, 5194, 8423, 8877, and consequently also mean what is complete, 9103, and therefore what is so in every respect; for what exists in completeness does so in every respect. Another reason why 'eight' means what exists in completeness and in every respect is that since 'a week' means a whole period from beginning to end, 2044, 3845, 'the eighth day' means a complete state, from which a new beginning then commences. This explains why males had to be circumcised on the eighth day, Genesis 17:12; 21:4, for circumcision was a sign of purification from foul kinds of love by means of the truth of faith, 2039, 2046 (end), 2799, 3412, 3413, 4462. The foreskin corresponded to the defilement of good by those kinds of love, 4462, 7045, 7225, and the knife of flint with which circumcision was carried out was a sign of the truth of faith by means of which purification was accomplished, 2039 (end), 2046 (end), 2799, 7044.

[3] What exists in completeness and in every respect is also meant by 'eight' following 'seven' in Micah,

When Asshur comes into our land and treads our palaces we will set up over him seven shepherds and eight princes of men (homo), and they will feed 1 the land of Asshur with the sword; and he will deliver [us] from Asshur. Micah 5:5-6.

'Asshur' stands for reasoning on the basis of one's own intelligence about the Church's forms of good and its truths. Deliverance totally or in every respect from consequent falsity is meant by 'eight princes of men' who will bring destruction, 'princes of men' being the leading truths that rise out of good.

[4] The fact that 'eight' means completeness and in every respect is also clear from an experience I had involving the admission and reception of some communities into heaven, about which see 2130. I saw as many as twelve communities received first, and after them as many as eight more; for people admitted and received into heaven are those who have been purified from earthly things, that is, from all love of them, and have gone on to receive instruction. The number eight on that occasion was a sign of that which was complete.

[5] 'Eight' has a similar meaning elsewhere in the Word, for example where it says that the portico of the gateway was 'eight cubits' long from the house, and that there were 'eight steps' up to the house, in Ezekiel 40:9, 31, 41. The description there is of the new house, by which the Lord's New Church is meant, truths leading to good and from good back to truths being meant by 'the portico' and 'the steps'.

[6] Anyone who does not know that spiritual realities or real things are implied by the numbers used in the Word cannot possibly see any such reality nor thus anything holy in the measures and numbers where the tabernacle, Solomon's temple, and after these the new house, new temple, and new land in Ezekiel, are described, when yet not a syllable in the Word is devoid of spiritual meaning. Let all who have intelligence weigh up in their mind what the measures and numbers in Chapters 40-48 of Ezekiel really mean, also the measures and numbers in John, at Revelation 21:17, where it says that the angel measured the wall of the new Jerusalem, a hundred and forty-four cubits, and that this measure was that of a man (homo), that is, of an angel, and also in the following, besides many other places,

Let him who has intelligence reckon the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man (homo), that is, its number is six hundred and sixty-six. Revelation 13:18.

For more about all numbers in the Word, that they mean spiritual realities or real things, see 482, 487, 575, 647, 648, 755, 813, 1963, 1988, 2075, 2252, 3252, 4264, 4495, 4670, 5265, 5291, 5335, 5708, 6175, 7973, and places where the specific meaning of certain numbers has been shown.

1 "Moreover you shall make the tabernacle with ten curtains; of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, with cherubim. The work of the skillful workman you shall make them.

2 The length of each curtain shall be twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits: all the curtains shall have one measure.

3 Five curtains shall be coupled together one to another; and the other five curtains shall be coupled one to another.

4 You shall make loops of blue on the edge of the one curtain from the edge in the coupling; and likewise you shall make in the edge of the curtain that is outmost in the second coupling.

5 You shall make fifty loops in the one curtain, and you shall make fifty loops in the edge of the curtain that is in the second coupling. The loops shall be opposite one to another.

6 You shall make fifty clasps of gold, and couple the curtains one to another with the clasps: and the tabernacle shall be a unit.

7 "You shall make curtains of goats' hair for a covering over the tabernacle. You shall make them eleven curtains.

8 The length of each curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits: the eleven curtains shall have one measure.

9 You shall couple five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves, and shall double over the sixth curtain in the forefront of the tent.

10 You shall make fifty loops on the edge of the one curtain that is outmost in the coupling, and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain which is outmost in the second coupling.

11 You shall make fifty clasps of brass, and put the clasps into the loops, and couple the tent together, that it may be one.

12 The overhanging part that remains of the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that remains, shall hang over the back of the tabernacle.

13 The cubit on the one side, and the cubit on the other side, of that which remains in the length of the curtains of the tent, shall hang over the sides of the tabernacle on this side and on that side, to cover it.

14 You shall make a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering of sea cow hides above.

15 "You shall make the boards for the tabernacle of acacia wood, standing up.

16 Ten cubits shall be the length of a board, and one and a half cubits the breadth of each board.

17 There shall be two tenons in each board, joined to one another: thus you shall make for all the boards of the tabernacle.

18 You shall make the boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards for the south side southward.

19 You shall make forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards; two sockets under one board for its two tenons, and two sockets under another board for its two tenons.

20 For the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, twenty boards,

21 and their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.

22 For the far part of the tabernacle westward you shall make six boards.

23 You shall make two boards for the corners of the tabernacle in the far part.

24 They shall be double beneath, and in the same way they shall be whole to its top to one ring: thus shall it be for them both; they shall be for the two corners.

25 There shall be eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.

26 "You shall make bars of acacia wood: five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,

27 and five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the side of the tabernacle, for the far part westward.

28 The middle bar in the midst of the boards shall pass through from end to end.

29 You shall overlay the boards with gold, and make their rings of gold for places for the bars: and you shall overlay the bars with gold.

30 You shall set up the tabernacle according to the way that it was shown to you on the mountain.

31 "You shall make a veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, with cherubim. The work of the skillful workman shall it be made.

32 You shall hang it on four pillars of acacia overlaid with gold; their hooks shall be of gold, on four sockets of silver.

33 You shall hang up the veil under the clasps, and shall bring the ark of the testimony in there within the veil: and the veil shall separate the holy place from the most holy for you.

34 You shall put the mercy seat on the ark of the testimony in the most holy place.

35 You shall set the table outside the veil, and the lampstand over against the table on the side of the tabernacle toward the south: and you shall put the table on the north side.

36 "You shall make a screen for the door of the Tent, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of the embroiderer.

37 You shall make for the screen five pillars of acacia, and overlay them with gold: their hooks shall be of gold: and you shall cast five sockets of brass for them.
