속죄와 예배의 중요성 출애굽기 40장

출애굽기 40장은 예배당 안에 속죄의 공간을 만들어 두며 예배 드리는 방법에 관하 애기등 줄줄이 사탕입니다. 인상적인 것은 장막에 구름이 둘러싼 형국인데요. 이들은 장막에 구름이 걷히지 않으면 일절 움직이지 않았다고 합니다.

베일에 쌓인 공간

 

1. The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 

2. On the first day of first month you shall erect the tabernacle of the ark of the testimony,

3. and you shall screen the ark with the veil.

4. And you shall bring in the table and arrange it, and you shall bring in the lampstand and set up its lamps.

5. And you shall put put the golden altar for incense before the ark of the testimony, and set up the screen for the door of the tabernacle.

6. You shall set the altar of burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.

7. and place the basin between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water in it.

8. And you shall set up the court all round, and hang up the secreen for the gate of the court.

 

 

 

첫 달 초하루에 방주 성막을 지으라고 하면서 거기에 베일을 치고 아무튼, 신비스러움으로 잔뜩 포장한 상황에 왜그럴까 싶었는데 어쩌면 뭔가 인간에게는 보여주고 싶지 않은 외모의 특별한 결함이 있어서 그런 건 아닌가 싶습니다. 

뭔가 꽁꽁 싸매고 몇 단 계를 거쳐서 들어가고 베일을 만들고 등등 범상치 않은 기운이 느껴지기 때문입니다.

기름을 붓고 바르고 바치고

 

9. Then you shall take the anointing oil and anoint the tabernacle and all that is in it, and consecrate it and all its furniture, so that it may become holy.

10. You shall also anoint the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, and consecrate the altar, so that the altar may become most holy.

11. You shall also anoint the basin and its stand, and consecrate it.

12. Then you shall bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance of the tent of meeting and shall wash them with water

13. and put on Aaron the holy garments. And you shall anoint him and consecrate him, that he may serve me as priest.

14. You shall bring his sons also and put coats on them, 

15. and anoint them, as you anointed their father, that they may serve me them to a perpetual priesthood throughout their generations."

 

성막 안에 신성함을 더하기 위해서인지 거룩함을 위해서인지 기름을 붓고 바르고 바치고 기름 천지를 만들어 놓습니다. 이것도 웃긴 상상이긴 하지만 기계에 기름칠을 하는 것과 같은 생각이 드는 것은 왜일까요? 인간에게는 기름보다 물이 유용하지만, 기계 인간에게는 물보다는 기름이 훨씬 중요할테니까요. 아무래도 외계에서 온 창조주가 곳곳에 기름칠을 할 필요가 있어서 그런 것은 아닌가 싶기도 하고요.

증거의 궤 그 밖에

 

16. This Moses did; according to all that the Lord commanded him, so he did.

17. In the first month in the second year, on the first day of the month, the tabernacle was erected.

18. Moses erected the tabernacle. He laid iits bases, and set uo its franesm abd out ub uts oikesm abd raused uo its pillars.

19. He took the testimony and put it into the ark, and put the poles on the ark and set the mercy seat above on the ark.

21. And he broutht the ark into the tabernacle and set up the veil of the screen, and screened the ark of the testimony, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

 

 

 

22. He put the table in the tent of meeting, on the north side of the tabernacle, outside the veil, 

23. and arranged the bread on it before the Lord, as the lord had commanded Moses.

24. He put the lampstand in the tent of meeting, opposite the table on the south side of the tabernacle, 

25. and set up the lamps before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

26. He put the golden altar in the tent of meeting before the veil, 

27. and burned fragrant incense on it, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

28. He put in place the screen for the door of the tabernacle.

29. And he set the altar of burnt offering at the entrance of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and offered on it the burnt offering and the grain offering, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

30. He set the basin between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water in it for washing, 

31. with which Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet.

32. When they went into the tent of meeting, and when they approached the altar, they washed, as the Lord commanded Moses.

33. and he erected and set up the secreen of the gate of the court.

 

일련의 장치를 해뒀다면 이제부터는 예배를 올리는 형식적인 부분에 관한 디테일한 설명이 들어있습니다. 손과 발을 씻으라고 하는 것부터 언제 어떻게 지킬지에 관해서 상세히 나와있는데요. 이렇게 예배를 정성스럽게 하려는 의도는 뭘까요? 이와 같은 의례가 자자손손 이어져서 신성시되고 철저하게 지켜지고 있는데요. 대체 창조주는 왜 이렇게 절대 복종을 강요하고 강조한 것일까요

구름의 정체

 

 

 

34. Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.

35. And Moses was not able to enter the tent of meeting because the cloud settled on it, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.

36. Throughout all their journeys, whenever the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the people of Israel would set out.

37. But if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not set out till the day that it was taken up.

38. For the cloud of the Lord was on the taernacle by day, and fire was in it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel throughout all their journeys.

 

 

하나님을 만날 때 구름이 성막을 덮는 걸로 나오는데요. 여정을 떠날 때도 성막에 구름이 걷히지 않으면 움직이지 않는다고 하는데. 창조주는 신선이셨나요? 구름을 몰고 온 분이라면 아무래도 비행선을 타고 온 외게인인 것 같은데요. 그렇지 않고는 설명이 안 되잖아요?
