4558.“他在那里筑了一座坛”表通过成圣。这从“坛”的含义清楚可知,“坛”是指主的主要代表,因而是指敬拜的圣洁(参看4541节);当论及主时,是指祂的神性人身,和从这人身发出的圣洁(2811节)。因为在教会中为主的主要代表之物在至高意义上也表示在其神性人身方面的主自己;因为代表神性人身之物在至高意义上就表示这人身本身。“他在那里(即在伯特利)筑了一座坛”表示属世层成圣;因为“伯特利”表示神性属世层(参看4556节)。
Potts(1905-1910) 4558
4558. And he built there an altar. That this signifies by sanctification, is evident from the signification of an "altar," as being the principal representative of the Lord, and thence the holy of worship (see n. 4541), and when predicated of the Lord, His Divine Human, and the Holy which proceeds therefrom (n. 2811). For that which in the church is the principal representative of the Lord, is also in the supreme sense the Lord Himself as to His Divine Human; for that which represents it is, in this sense, the Human Itself. That the natural was sanctified, is signified by his "building there" (that is, in Bethel) an "altar;" for by "Bethel" is signified the Divine natural (see just above, n. 4556).
Elliott(1983-1999) 4558
4558. 'And he built an altar there' means through being made holy. This is clear from the meaning of 'an altar' as the chief representative of the Lord, and from this as the holiness of worship, dealt with in 4541; and when it has reference to the Lord, as His Divine Human and the holiness which proceeds from this, 2811. For that which in the Church is the chief representative of the Lord also means in the highest sense the Lord Himself as to His Divine Human, because that which is the representative of it is in the highest sense that Human itself. The making holy of the natural is meant by 'he built an altar there (that is, in Bethel)', for 'Bethel' means the Divine Natural, see just above in 4556.
Latin(1748-1756) 4558
4558. `Et aedificavit ibi altare': quod significet per sanctificationem, constat a significatione `altaris' quod sit principale repraesentativum Domini, et inde sanctum cultus, de qua n. 4541, et cum praedicatur de Domino, quod sit Divinum Humanum Ipsius, ac sanctum quo inde procedit, n. 2811; quod enim in Ecclesia est principale repraesentativum Domini, hoc etiam in supremo sensu est Ipse Dominus quoad Divinum Humanum, nam quod repraesentat, hoc in eo sensu est illud; quod naturale sanctificatum sit, significatur per `aedificavit ibi', hoc est, in Bethele, altare; per `Bethelem' enim significatur Divinum Naturale, videatur mox supra n. 4556.
