출애굽기 37장 읽기

체루빔이 또 등장하는 출애굽기 37장

 

 

1. He made alter of burnt offering of acacia wood. Five cubits was its length, and five cubits its breadth. It was square, and three cubits was its height. 

2. He made horns for it on its four corners. Its horns were of one piece with it, and he overlaid it with bronze.

 

 

굵직굵직한 것 만들고 지속해서 만들기 놀이를 하고 있는데요. 아카시아 나무로 번제물을 바치는 제단을 만들라고 명하면서 이번에도 꼼꼼하게 규격을 지켜서 만들어 나갑니다. 그런데 갑자기 인상적인 것이 네 귀퉁이에 뿔을 만드는 이유는 뭘까요? 이전 장에 모세의 얼굴에도 빛이 나서 두건을 쓰고 있다고는 했지만, 항간에는 빛이 아니라 뿔이 났다는 말도 있잖아요?  혹시, 창조주가 뿔 달린 외계인인가 하는 상상도 해보게 됩니다.

 

 

 

 

3. And he made all the utensils of the altar, the pots, the shovels, the basins, the forks, and the firepans. He made all its utensils of bronze.

4. And he made for the altar a grating, a newwork of bronze, under its ledge, extending halfway down.

5. He cast four rings on the four corners of the bronze grating as holders for the poles.

6. He made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with bronze.

7. And he put the poles through the rings on the sides of the altar to carry it with them. He made it hollow, with boards.

 

 

 

그밖에 번제에 필요한 각종 식기류는 구리로 만들라고 하는데요. 문득 신라시대와 한국 전통 제사 문화가 떠오르네요. 금과 밀접한 신라시대 소품들과 창조주가 명령한 소품들이 왠지 비슷하다는 생각이 들어서입니다. 그리고 놋그릇도 물론 한국 고유의 문화만은 아니겠지만 왠지 모든 것이 연관이 있다는 생각이 들어서 반갑기도 하고 놀랍기도 합니다.

그밖에 이것저것 물품들을 이렇게 만들어라 저렇게 만들어라 마치 이상의 건축무한육면각체를 읽는 것처럼 그러한데요. 세세한 설명은 필요없을 것 같아 생략하겠습니다. 물론 더 자세히 파다보면 숫자와 용기의 비밀 등을 알 수 있을런지도 모르겠지만요.

아무튼, 증거의 장막인지 증언의 예배당인지 신성하고 신비한 공간을 제사장 아론의 아들 이타마르의 지시에 따라 유다 지파 후르의 아들, 유리의 아들 베자렐이 공예를 담당하고 단 지파의 아히사막의 아들인 오홀리압은 일종의 바느질 담당으로 업적을 남겼다는 기록을 남겨 놓은 것 같습니다.
