1 Und Mose versammelte die ganze Gemeinde der Kinder Israel und sprach zu ihnen: Das ist's, was der HERR geboten hat, das ihr tun sollt:

2 Sechs Tage sollt ihr arbeiten; den siebenten Tag aber sollt ihr heilig halten als einen Sabbat der Ruhe des HERRN. Wer an dem arbeitet, soll sterben.

3 Ihr sollt kein Feuer anzünden am Sabbattag in allen euren Wohnungen.

4 Und Mose sprach zu der ganzen Gemeinde der Kinder Israel: Das ist's, was der HERR geboten hat:

5 Gebt unter euch ein Hebopfer dem HERRN, also daß das Hebopfer des HERRN ein jeglicher willig bringe, Gold, Silber, Erz,

6 blauen und roten Purpur, Scharlach, weiße Leinwand und Ziegenhaar,

7 rötliche Widderfelle, Dachsfelle und Akazienholz,

8 Öl zur Lampe und Spezerei zur Salbe und zu gutem Räuchwerk,

9 Onyxsteine und eingefaßte Steine zum Leibrock und zum Amtschild.

10 Und wer unter euch verständig ist, der komme und mache, was der HERR geboten hat:

11 nämlich die Wohnung mit ihrer Hütte und Decke, Haken, Brettern, Riegeln, Säulen und Füßen;

12 die Lade mit ihren Stangen, den Gnadenstuhl und Vorhang;

13 den Tisch mit seinen Stangen und allem seinem Geräte und die Schaubrote;

14 den Leuchter, zu leuchten, und sein Gerät und seine Lampen und das Öl zum Licht;

15 den Räucheraltar mit seinen Stangen, die Salbe und Spezerei zum Räuchwerk; das Tuch vor der Wohnung Tür;

16 den Brandopferaltar mit seinem ehernen Gitter, Stangen und allem seinem Geräte; das Handfaß mit seinem Fuße;

17 den Umhang des Vorhofs mit seinen Säulen und Füßen und das Tuch des Tors am Vorhof;

18 die Nägel der Wohnung und des Vorhofs mit ihren Seilen;

19 die Kleider des Amts zum Dienst im Heiligen, die heiligen Kleider Aarons, des Priesters, mit den Kleidern seiner Söhne zum Priestertum.

20 Da ging die ganze Gemeinde der Kinder Israel aus von Mose.

21 Und alle, die es gern und willig gaben, kamen und brachten das Hebopfer dem HERRN zum Werk der Hütte des Stifts und zu allem ihren Dienst und zu den heiligen Kleidern.

22 Es brachten aber beide, Mann und Weib, wer's willig tat, Spangen, Ohrringe, Ringe und Geschmeide und allerlei goldenes Gerät. Dazu brachte jedermann Gold zum Webeopfer dem HERRN.

23 Und wer bei sich fand blauen und roten Purpur, Scharlach, weiße Leinwand, Ziegenhaar, rötliche Widderfelle und Dachsfelle, der brachte es.

24 Und wer Silber und Erz hob, der brachte es zur Hebe dem HERRN. Und wer Akazienholz bei sich fand, der brachte es zu allerlei Werk des Gottesdienstes.

25 Und welche verständige Weiber waren, die spannen mit ihren Händen und brachten ihr Gespinnst, blauen und roten Purpur, Scharlach und weiße Leinwand.

26 Und welche Weiber solche Arbeit konnten und willig dazu waren, die spannen Ziegenhaare.

27 Die Fürsten aber brachten Onyxsteine und eingefaßte Steine zum Leibrock und zum Schild

28 und Spezerei und Öl zu den Lichtern und zur Salbe und zum guten Räuchwerk.

29 Also brachte die Kinder Israel willig, beide, Mann und Weib, zu allerlei Werk, das der HERR geboten hatte durch Mose, daß man's machen sollte.

30 Und Mose sprach zu den Kindern Israel: Sehet, der HERR hat mit Namen berufen den Bezaleel, den Sohn Uris, des Sohnes Hur, vom Stamme Juda,

31 und hat ihn erfüllt mit dem Geist Gottes, daß er weise, verständig, geschickt sei zu allerlei Werk,

32 kunstreich zu arbeiten an Gold, Silber und Erz,

33 Edelsteine zu schneiden und einzusetzen, Holz zu zimmern, zu machen allerlei kunstreiche Arbeit.

34 Und hat ihm ins Herz gegeben, zu unterweisen, ihm und Oholiab, dem Sohn Ahisamachs, vom Stamme Dan.

35 Er hat ihr Herz mit Weisheit erfüllt, zu machen allerlei Werk, zu schneiden, zu wirken und zu sticken mit blauem und rotem Purpur, Scharlach und weißer Leinwand, und mit Weben, daß sie machen allerlei Werk und kunstreiche Arbeit erfinden.

Tabernacle

  

In 1 Samuel 1:9, the tabernacle signifies the truth of faith with man. (Arcana Coelestia 2048)

A temple signifies the Lord's spiritual church; in a universal sense, the spiritual kingdom; in the highest sense, the Lord as to His Divine Truth. (Arcana Coelestia 3720)

In 1 Samuel 3:3, when the lamp had not been put out, and Samuel was sleeping in the tabernacle, this signifies that the extinction of truth in worship had not yet been fully accomplished. (Apocalypse Explained 403[18])

In Psalm 65:4, being satisfied with the goodness of the holy place of the temple signifies to be intelligent from divine truth, and to realize heavenly joy therefrom. (Apocalypse Explained 630[11])

In Revelation 21:22, that there is no temple in the New Jerusalem signifies that in that new church, the external worship will not be separate from internal. (Apocalypse Explained 918)

'The Tabernacle,' as in Revelation 13, signifies the church regarding doctrine and worship. 'The tabernacle' has almost the same meaning as 'temple,' that is, in the highest sense, the Lord's divine humanity, and in a relative sense, heaven and the church. But 'tabernacle' as heaven and the church signifies the celestial church, which is in the good of love from the Lord to the Lord, and 'temple,' the spiritual church, which is in the truths of wisdom from the Lord. 'The tabernacle' signifies the celestial kingdom, because the most ancient church, which was celestial, in a state of love to the Lord, performed divine worship in tabernacles. The ancient church, which was a spiritual church, performed divine worship in temples. Tabernacles were made of wood, and temples, stone. 'Wood' signifies good, and 'stone,' truth. Since the most ancient church, a celestial church, because of their love to the Lord, and resulting conjunction with Him, celebrated divine worship in tabernacles, so the Lord commanded Moses to build a tabernacle, which represented everything of heaven and the church. It was so holy, that it was not lawful for anyone to go into it, except Moses, Aaron, and his sons. If any of the people entered, they would die, as in Numbers 17:12-13, 18:1, 22, 23, and 19:14-19. The ark was in its center, which contained the two tables of the Decalogue, and was topped with the mercy seat and the cherubim. Outside of the veil, there were the table for the shew-bread, the altar of incense, and the candlestick with seven lamps. All of these things represented heaven and the church. The Tabernacle is described Exodus 26:7-16 and 36:8-37, and its design was shown to Moses on Mount Sinai, as in Exodus 25:9 and 26:30. Anything seen from heaven is representative of heaven, and so of the church. The feast of tabernacles was instituted in memory of the most holy worship of the Lord in tabernacles by the most ancient people, and of their conjunction with Him by love, as mentioned in Leviticus 23:39-44, Deuteronomy 16:13-14 and Zechariah 14:16-19.

(Izinkomba: Apocalypse Revealed 585; Numbers 18:22-23, 19:14-19; Zechariah 14)

6876. 'And saying to them, The God of your fathers has sent me to you' means that He who was the God of the Ancient Church will be with those belonging to the spiritual Church. This is clear from the meaning of 'the God of your fathers' as Him who was the God of the Ancient Church, 'fathers' being those who belonged to the Ancient Church, see 6050, 6075, 6846; from the representation of the children of Israel, to whom 'you' refers here, as those who belong to the spiritual Church, dealt with immediately above in 6875; and from the meaning of 'being sent' as going forth, dealt with in 2397, 4710, 6831, here as the promise that He will be with them, for it is talking about Him who was the God of the Ancient Church, promising that He will be in the spiritual Church, which is represented by the children of Israel.

[2] The God of the Ancient Church was the Lord in respect of His Divine Human. The Ancient Church acquired this perception of God from the Most Ancient Church and also from the consideration that whenever Jehovah appeared to them He did so in a human form. When therefore they thought about Jehovah they did not think of Him as the Being present in all things everywhere, of whom they would have had no conception. Rather, they thought of Him as a Person who was Divine, on whom they would then be able to focus their thought. For in this way they were able both to think about Jehovah and to be joined to Him in love. Those who belonged to the Ancient Church, and especially those who belonged to the Most Ancient Church, were far wiser than people are in our own day, and yet they could not think of Jehovah in any other way than as a person whose Humanity was Divine. Nor did their thinking have any Unseemly desires entering it - ideas taken from the natural man, from what is imperfect and bad there. Rather the ideas about Him were altogether holy. The angels themselves, whose wisdom is so much greater than man's, cannot think of the Divine in any other way either, for they see the Lord in His Divine Human. They know that an angel, with whom all things are finite, cannot begin to form any idea of the Infinite except through what bears resemblance to the finite.

[3] The fact that people in ancient times venerated Jehovah under the form of a Person who was Divine is perfectly clear from the angels who appeared in human form to Abraham, and also after that to Lot, as well as to Joshua, and to Gideon and Manoah. Those angels were called Jehovah and were venerated as the God of all things. If at the present day Jehovah were to appear in the Church as a person people would be offended and would think that because what they saw was a person. He could not by any means be the Creator and Lord of the Universe. Furthermore they would not then have any other kind of idea about Him than what they have about an ordinary human being. Thinking in this way people at the present day believe that they are wiser than the ancients, unaware of the fact that by thinking in that way they are completely out of touch with wisdom. For when one's mental resources are spent on envisaging the completely incomprehensible Being present everywhere, they can discern nothing and are squandered. And ideas about nature, to which every single thing is attributed, arise instead. This is why nature-worship is so common at the present day, especially in the Christian world.
