출애굽기 35장 읽기

공물을 갖다 바쳐라 (exodus 35장)

 

1. "Bezalel and Oholiab and every craftsman in whom the Lord has put skill and intelligence to know how to do any work in the construction of the sanctuary shall work in the construction of the sanctuary shall work in accordance with all that the Lord has commanded."

 

 

 

 2. And Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab and every craftsman in shose mind the Lord had put skill, everyone whose heart stirred him up to come to do the work.

3. And they received from Moses all the contribution that the people of Israel had brought for doing the work on the sanctuary. They still kept bringing him freewill offerings every morning,

4. so that all the craftsmen who were doing every sort of task on the sanctuary came, each from the task that he was doing,

5. and said to Moses, "The people bring much more than enough for doing the work that the LORD has commanded us to do."

6. So Moses gave command, and word was proclaed throughout the camp, "Let no man or woman do anything more for the contribution for the sanctuary." So the people were restrained from bringing, 

7. for the material they had was sufficient to do all the work, and more.

 

 

천막으로 회당 같은 것을 짓다가 이제는 제대로 된 교회 혹은 신전 같은 것을 짓게 명했나 봅니다. 요즘도 교회 같은 데서 건축 헌금 같은 거 엄청 많이 걷고 그야말로 휘황찬란한 교회 건물을 짓는 것처럼요. 성경대로 현재까지 교인들이 따라 하는 모양입니다. 아무튼, 솜씨 좋은 장인들을 불러 모아 백성들이 갖다 준 공물 등으로 멋진 교회를 짓는 과정이 나옵니다.

회당도 꼼꼼히 지시

 

 

 

8. And all the craftsmen among the sorkmen made the tabernacle with ten curtains, They were made of fine twined linen and blue and purple and scarlet yarns, with cherubim skilfully worked.

9. The length of each curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits. All the curtains were the same size.

 

 

10. He coupled five curtains to one another, and the other five curtains he coupled to one another.

11. He made loops of blue on the edge of the outermost curtain of the first set. Likewise he made them on the edge of the outermost curtain of the second set.

12. He made fifty loops on the one curtain, and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain what was in the second set. The loops were opposite one another.

13. And he made fifty clasps of gold, and coupled the curtains one to the other with clasps. So the tabemacle was a single whole.

 

그리고 10개의 커튼 장막을 만든 모양인데요. 하여튼 엄청나게 정교하고 화려하게 꾸미려는 것 같습니다. 아무래도 무지한 백성들이 우상 숭배를 하고 현란한 것에 현혹되고 하니 창조주가 작정하고 그런 마음을 하나로 모으시려나 봅니다. 저번에도 이런 회당을 지은 것 같은데 뭘 자꾸 짓는지 모르겠네요.
