Dec 18【每日活水】经历 SHEN 荣耀又美丽的临在

 

出埃及记36:8~38

造耶/和/华的会幕
出26‧1-37
8 他们中间,凡心里有智慧做工的,用十幅幔子做帐幕。这幔子是比撒列用捻的细麻和蓝色、紫色、朱红色线制造的,并用巧匠的手工绣上基路伯。 
9 每幅幔子长二十八肘,宽四肘,都是一样的尺寸。 
10 他使这五幅幔子幅幅相连,又使那五幅幔子幅幅相连;
11 在这相连的幔子末幅边上做蓝色的钮扣,在那相连的幔子末幅边上也照样做; 
12 在这相连的幔子上做五十个钮扣,在那相连的幔子上也做五十个钮扣,都是两两相对; 
13 又做五十个金钩,使幔子相连。这才成了一个帐幕。
14 他用山羊织十一幅幔子,作为帐幕以上的罩棚。 
15 每幅幔子长三十肘,宽四肘;十一幅幔子都是一样的尺寸。 
16 他把五幅幔子连成一幅,又把六幅幔子连成一幅; 
17 在这相连的幔子末幅边上做五十个钮扣,在那相连的幔子末幅边上也做五十个钮扣; 
18 又做五十个铜钩,使罩棚连成一个; 
19 并用染红的公羊皮做罩棚的盖,再用海狗皮做一层罩棚上的顶盖。
20 他用皂荚木做帐幕的竖板。 
21 每块长十肘,宽一肘半; 
22 每块有两榫相对。帐幕一切的板都是这样做。 
23 帐幕的南面做板二十块。 
24 在这二十块板底下又做四十个带卯的银座:两卯接这块板上的两榫,两卯接那块板上的两榫。 
25 帐幕的第二面,就是北面,也做板二十块 
26 和带卯的银座四十个:这板底下有两卯,那板底下也有两卯。 
27 帐幕的后面,就是西面,做板六块。 
28 帐幕后面的拐角做板两块。 
29 板的下半截是双的,上半截是整的,直到第一个环子;在帐幕的两个拐角上都是这样做。 
30 有八块板和十六个带卯的银座,每块板底下有两卯。
31 他用皂荚木做闩:为帐幕这面的板做五闩, 
32 为帐幕那面的板做五闩,又为帐幕后面的板做五闩, 
33 使板腰间的中闩从这一头通到那一头。 
34 用金子将板包裹,又做板上的金环套闩;闩也用金子包裹。
35 他用蓝色、紫色、朱红色线,和捻的细麻织幔子,以巧匠的手工绣上基路伯。 
36 为幔子做四根皂荚木柱子,用金包裹,柱子上有金钩,又为柱子铸了四个带卯的银座。 
37 拿蓝色、紫色、朱红色线,和捻的细麻,用绣花的手工织帐幕的门帘; 
38 又为帘子做五根柱子和柱子上的钩子,用金子把柱顶和柱子上的杆子包裹。柱子有五个带卯的座,是铜的。
The Tabernacle
8 All those who were skilled among the workers made the tabernacle with ten curtains of finely twisted linen and blue, purple and scarlet yarn, with cherubim woven into them by expert hands. 
9 All the curtains were the same size—twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide.
10 They joined five of the curtains together and did the same with the other five. 
11 Then they made loops of blue material along the edge of the end curtain in one set, and the same was done with the end curtain in the other set. 
12 They also made fifty loops on one curtain and fifty loops on the end curtain of the other set, with the loops opposite each other. 
13 Then they made fifty gold clasps and used them to fasten the two sets of curtains together so that the tabernacle was a unit.
14 They made curtains of goat hair for the tent over the tabernacle—eleven altogether. 
15 All eleven curtains were the same size—thirty cubits long and four cubits wide. 
16 They joined five of the curtains into one set and the other six into another set. 
17 Then they made fifty loops along the edge of the end curtain in one set and also along the edge of the end curtain in the other set. 
18 They made fifty bronze clasps to fasten the tent together as a unit.
19 Then they made for the tent a covering of ram skins dyed red, and over that a covering of the other durable leather.
20 They made upright frames of acacia wood for the tabernacle. 
21 Each frame was ten cubits long and a cubit and a half wide, 
22 with two projections set parallel to each other. They made all the frames of the tabernacle in this way. 
23 They made twenty frames for the south side of the tabernacle 
24 and made forty silver bases to go under them—two bases for each frame, one under each projection. 
25 For the other side, the north side of the tabernacle, they made twenty frames 
26 and forty silver bases—two under each frame. 
27 They made six frames for the far end, that is, the west end of the tabernacle, 
28 and two frames were made for the corners of the tabernacle at the far end. 
29 At these two corners the frames were double from the bottom all the way to the top and fitted into a single ring; both were made alike. 
30 So there were eight frames and sixteen silver bases—two under each frame.
31 They also made crossbars of acacia wood: five for the frames on one side of the tabernacle, 
32 five for those on the other side, and five for the frames on the west, at the far end of the tabernacle. 
33 They made the center crossbar so that it extended from end to end at the middle of the frames. 
34 They overlaid the frames with gold and made gold rings to hold the crossbars. They also overlaid the crossbars with gold.
35 They made the curtain of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen, with cherubim woven into it by a skilled worker. 
36 They made four posts of acacia wood for it and overlaid them with gold. They made gold hooks for them and cast their four silver bases. 
37 For the entrance to the tent they made a curtain of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen—the work of an embroiderer; 
38 and they made five posts with hooks for them. They overlaid the tops of the posts and their bands with gold and made their five bases of bronze.

灵/修指南

今天的经/文记载的是遮盖会幕的罩棚、将会幕围起来的立板,以及用来隔开圣所和至圣所的幔子的制作方法。会幕的罩棚从外到里,分别用精美皮料、染红的公羊皮、山羊毛、搓的细麻和有色纱等材料做成四层(8,14,19节)。为了使会幕在旷野中能够长时间坚立,外层所使用的是防水和隔热效果良好的材料,愈往里层所使用的材料则愈精美和昂贵,制作手艺也愈精巧。所以从外面看,或许不容易看出会幕的精美和价值,但是只要进到里面,就可以看出其真正的美丽和价值。这意味着当我们愈靠近 SHEN 的临在,就愈能看见 TA 的宝贵和美丽,我们也因而更加渴望活出 SHEN 的荣美。盼望我们能够竭力亲近 SHEN ,经历 SHEN 荣耀又美丽的临在,立志活出 TA 所悦纳的荣美形像。
 

内室dao告

愿我竭力进入 SHEN 荣耀、美丽的临在,活出 TA 眼中的荣美形像。
