1 Bukod dito'y pagka inyong hahatiin sa pamamagitan ng sapalaran ang lupain na pinakamana, mangaghahandog kayo ng alay sa Panginoon, isang banal na bahagi ng lupain; ang haba ay magkakaroon ng habang dalawang pu't limang libong tambo, at ang luwang ay magiging sangpung libo: ito'y magiging banal sa lahat ng hangganan niyaon sa palibot.

2 Dito'y magkakaroon ukol sa dakong banal ng limang daan ang haba at limang daang luwang, parisukat sa palibot; limang pung siko sa pagitan niyaon sa palibot.

3 At sa sukat na ito iyong susukatin, na ang haba ay dalawang pu't limang libo, at ang luwang ay sangpung libo: at doo'y malalagay ang santuario, na pinakabanal.

4 Siyang banal na bahagi ng lupain; ito'y para sa mga saserdote, na mga tagapangasiwa ng santuario, na nagsisilapit upang magsipangasiwa sa Panginoon; at ito'y magiging dakong kalalagyan ng kanilang mga bahay, at banal na dakong kalalagyan ng santuario.

5 At dalawang pu't limang libo ang haba, at sangpung libo ang luwang ay magiging sa mga Levita, na mga tagapangasiwa ng bahay, na pinaka pag-aari sa kanilang sarili, na dalawang pung silid.

6 At inyong itatakda ang pag-aari ng bayan na limang libo ang luwang, at dalawang pu't limang libo ang haba, sa tabi ng alay na banal na bahagi: magiging ukol sa buong sangbahayan ni Israel.

7 Magkakaroon naman para sa prinsipe ng bahagi sa isang dako at sa kabilang dako sa banal na alay at sa pag-aari ng bayan, sa harap ng banal na alay at sa harap ng pag-aari ng bayan, sa dakong kalunuran na gawing kalunuran, at sa dakong silanganan na gawing silanganan; at ang haba ay ayon sa isa sa mga bahagi, mula sa hangganang kalunuran hanggang sa hangganang silanganan.

8 Sa lupaing ito'y magiging kaniya na pinakaari sa Israel: at hindi na pipighatiin pa ng aking mga prinsipe ang aking bayan; kundi ibibigay nila ang lupain sa sangbahayan ni Israel ayon sa kanilang mga lipi.

9 Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios: Magkasiya ito sa inyo, Oh mga prinsipe ng Israel: iwan ninyo ang pangdadahas at pagsamsam, at magsagawa kayo ng kahatulan at ng kaganapan; alisin ninyo ang inyong atang sa aking bayan, sabi ng Panginoong Dios.

10 Kayo'y magkakaroon ng mga ganap na timbangan; at ganap na efa, at ganap na bath.

11 Ang efa at ang bath ay magiging iisang takalan, upang ang bath ay maglaman ng ikasangpung bahagi ng isang homer, at ang efa ay ikasangpung bahagi ng isang homer: ang takal niyaon ay magiging ayon sa homer.

12 At ang siklo ay magiging dalawang pung gera: dalawangpung siklo, lima at dalawang pung siklo, labing limang siklo ay siyang magiging maneh ninyo.

13 Ito ang alay na inyong ihahandog: ang ikaanim na bahagi ng isang efa mula sa isang homer ng trigo; at inyong ibibigay ang ikaanim na bahagi ng isang efa mula sa isang homer ng cebada;

14 At ang takdang bahagi ng langis, ng bath ng langis, ang ikasangpung bahagi ng bath mula sa isang kor, na sangpung bath, o isang homer (sapagka't sangpung bath ay isang homer);

15 At isang batang tupa sa kawan, mula sa dalawang daan, na mula sa matabang pastulan ng Israel; na pinakahandog na harina, at pinakahandog na susunugin, at pinakahandog tungkol sa kapayapaan, upang ipangtubos sa kanila, sabi ng Panginoong Dios.

16 Buong bayan ng lupain ay magbibigay ng alay na ito sa prinsipe sa Israel.

17 At magiging tungkulin ng prinsipe na magbigay ng mga handog na susunugin, at ng mga handog na harina, at ng mga inuming handog, sa mga kapistahan, at sa mga bagong buwan, at sa mga sabbath, sa lahat ng takdang kapistahan ng sangbahayan ni Israel: siya'y maghahanda ng handog dahil sa kasalanan, at ng handog na harina, at ng handog na susunugin, at ng mga handog tungkol sa kapayapaan, upang ipangtubos sa sangbahayan ni Israel.

18 Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios: Sa unang buwan, sa unang araw ng buwan, kukuha ka ng guyang toro na walang kapintasan; at iyong lilinisin ang santuario.

19 At ang saserdote ay kukuha ng dugo ng handog dahil sa kasalanan, at ilalagay sa mga haligi ng pintuan ng bahay, at sa apat na sulok ng patungang dambana, at sa mga haligi ng pintuang-daan ng lalong loob na looban.

20 At gayon ang iyong gagawin sa ikapitong araw ng buwan para sa bawa't nagkakamali, at sa bawa't walang malay: gayon ninyo lilinisin ang bahay.

21 Sa unang buwan, sa ikalabing apat na araw ng buwan, magdidiwang kayo ng paskua, isang kapistahan na pitong araw; tinapay na walang levadura ang kakanin.

22 At sa araw na yaon ay maghahanda ang prinsipe para sa kaniya at sa buong bayan ng lupain ng isang guyang toro na pinakahandog dahil sa kasalanan.

23 At sa pitong araw ng kapistahan ay ipaghahanda niya ng handog na susunugin ang Panginoon, pitong toro at pitong tupa na walang kapintasan sa araw-araw na pitong araw; at isang kambing araw-araw na pinakahandog dahil sa kasalanan.

24 At siya'y maghahanda ng handog na harina, ng isang efa sa isang toro, at ng isang efa sa isang lalaking tupa, at isang hin ng langis sa isang efa.

25 Sa ikapitong buwan, sa ikalabing limang araw ng buwan, sa kapistahan, kaniyang gagawin ang gaya ng pitong araw; ayon sa handog dahil sa kasalanan, ayon sa handog na susunugin, at ayon sa handog na harina, at ayon sa langis.

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.

755. That 'the six hundredth year, the second month, and the seventeenth day' means the second state of temptation follows from what has been stated so far, for verse 6 down to this present verse 11 has dealt with the first state of temptation, which was temptation involving things of his understanding. Now however the second state is dealt with, namely temptation involving things of the will. This is the reason why his age is repeated. Previously it was said that 'he was a son of six hundred years', here that the Flood took place in 'the six hundredth year of his life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day'. No one would ever imagine that Noah's age, worked out to the exact year, month, and day, is used to mean a state of temptation involving things of the will. Yet, as has been stated, this was how the most ancient people spoke and wrote. And they found their chief delight in being able to work out periods of time and names and then to organize them into a semblance of history. It was in this that their wisdom consisted.

[2] It was shown at verse 6 above however that 'six hundred years' means nothing other than an initial state of temptation. Here similarly 'six hundred years' is mentioned. But so that it might mean a second state of temptation, months and days have been added - two months in fact, or rather 'in the second month', which means conflict itself, as becomes clear from the meaning of the number two given already at verse 6 of this chapter. As has been shown and may be seen there, two has the same meaning as six, that is, labour and conflict and also dispersion. The number seventeen however means not only the onset of temptation but also the end of temptation, the reason being that it is the sum of the numbers seven and ten. When this number means the onset of temptation it then entails 'seven days' or a week, which means the onset of temptation, as shown already at verse 4 of this chapter. But when it means the end of temptation, as it does later on in 8:4, seven is then a holy number to which ten, meaning remnants, has been added; for without remnants nobody is able to be regenerated.

[3] That seventeen means the onset of temptation is clear in Jeremiah's being commanded to buy the field from Hanamel his cousin who was in Anathoth, and to weigh out seventeen shekels of silver, Jeremiah 32:9. What comes after that in this chapter of the prophet shows that this number also means their captivity in Babylon, which represents the temptation of people who have faith and the devastation of those who have not. Indeed it represents the onset of temptation and at the same time the end of temptation, which is liberation. That captivity is mentioned in Jeremiah 32:36, and the liberation in Verse 37 onwards. Such a number, like every other word that is used, would never have appeared in this prophet if it did not embody arcana.

[4] That seventeen means the onset of temptation becomes clear also from the age of Joseph, who was seventeen years old when he was sent off to his brothers and was sold into Egypt, Genesis 37:2. His being sold into Egypt represents the same kinds of things, as will in the Lord's Divine mercy be shown in that chapter. There the representative historical events did take place as described; here however they are made-up historical events carrying a spiritual meaning, which did not actually take place as described in the sense of the letter. Nevertheless the former embody arcana of heaven, right down to every word, as is the case here. This is bound to seem strange, for when any historical event occurs, true or made-up, the mind (animus) is confined to the letter from which it cannot extricate itself. Hence the conviction that nothing else is meant or represented.

[5] Yet it may become clear to anyone who is intelligent that some internal sense exists which has the life of the Word in it, but not in the letter, which devoid of the internal sense is dead. Without the internal sense what would any historical description be but history as found in any secular author? And so what would be the use of knowing Noah's exact age, or the month and day when the Flood took place, if it did not embody a heavenly arcanum? And who cannot see that 'all the fountains of the great deep were split open, and the floodgates of heaven were opened' is a prophetic utterance, as is much else besides?
