The Ark Placed in the Temple. . 1 Thus all the work that Solomon made for the house of the LORD was finished: and Solomon brought in all the things that David his father had dedicated; and the silver, and the gold, and all the instruments, put he among the treasures of the house of God. 2 Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion. 3 Wherefore all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto the king in the feast which was in the seventh month. 4 And all the elders of Israel came; and the Levites took up the ark. 5 And they brought up the ark, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle, these did the priests and the Levites bring up. 6 Also king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel that were assembled unto him before the ark, sacrificed sheep and oxen, which could not be told nor numbered for multitude. 7 And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD unto his place, to the oracle of the house, into the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubims: 8 For the cherubims spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubims covered the ark and the staves thereof above. 9 And they drew out the staves of the ark, that the ends of the staves were seen from the ark before the oracle; but they were not seen without. And there it is unto this day. 10 There was nothing in the ark save the two tables which Moses put therein at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt. This agrees with what we had 1 Kings 8:2-10 , c., where an account was given of the solemn introduction of the ark into the new-erected temple. 1. There needed no great solemnity for the bringing in of the dedicated things, 2 Chronicles 5:1 ; 2 Chronicles 5:1 . They added to the wealth, and perhaps were so disposed as to add to the beauty of it; but they could not add to the holiness, for it was the temple that sanctified the gold, Matthew 23:17 . See how just Solomon was both to God and to his father. Whatever David had dedicated to God, however much he might have liked it himself, he would by no means alienate it, but put it among the treasures of the temple. Those children that would inherit their godly parents' blessing must religiously pursue their pious intentions and not defeat them. When Solomon had made all the vessels of the temple in abundance ( 2 Chronicles 4:18 ; 2 Chronicles 4:18 ), many of the materials were left, which he would not convert to any other use, but laid up in the treasury for a time of need. Dedicated things must not be alienated. It is sacrilege to do it. 2. But it was fit that the ark should be brought in with great solemnity; and so it was. All the other vessels were made new, and larger, in proportion to the house, than they had been in the tabernacle. But the ark, with the mercy-seat and the cherubim, was the same; for the presence and the grace of God are the same in little assemblies that they are in large ones, in the poor condition of the church that they are in its prosperous estate. Wherever two or three are gathered together in Christ's name there is he as truly present with them as if there were 2000 or 3000. The ark was brought in attended by a very great assembly of the elders of Israel, who came to grace and solemnity; and a very sumptuous appearance no doubt they made, 2 Chronicles 5:2-4 ; 2 Chronicles 5:2-4 . It was carried by the priests ( 2 Chronicles 5:7 ; 2 Chronicles 5:7 ), brought into the most holy place, and put under the wings of the great cherubim which Solomon had set up there, 2 Chronicles 5:7 ; 2 Chronicles 5:8 . There they are unto this day ( 2 Chronicles 5:9 ; 2 Chronicles 5:9 ), not the day when this book was written after the captivity, but when that was written out of which this story was transcribed. Or they were there (so it might be read) unto this day, the day of Jerusalem's desolations, that fatal day, Psalms 137:7 . The ark was a type of Christ, and, as such, a token of the presence of God. That gracious promise, Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world, does in effect bring the ark into our religious assemblies if we by faith and prayer put that promise in suit; and this we should be most solicitous and earnest for. Lord, if thy presence go not up with us, wherefore should we go up? The temple itself, if Christ leave it, is a desolate place, Matthew 23:38 . 3. With the ark they brought up the tabernacle and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle, 2 Chronicles 5:5 ; 2 Chronicles 5:5 . Those were not alienated, because they had been dedicated to God, were not altered or melted down for the new work, though there was no need of them; but they were carefully laid up as monuments of antiquity, and probably as many of the vessels as were fit for use were still used. 4. This was done with great joy. They kept a holy feast upon the occasion ( 2 Chronicles 5:3 ; 2 Chronicles 5:3 ), and sacrificed sheep and oxen without number, 2 Chronicles 5:6 ; 2 Chronicles 5:6 . Note, (1.) The establishment of the public worship of God according to his institution, and with the tokens of his presence, is, and ought to be, matter of great joy to any people. (2.) When Christ is formed in a soul, the law written in the heart, the ark of the covenant settled there, so that it becomes the temple of the Holy Ghost, there is true satisfaction in that soul. (3.) Whatever we have the comfort of we must, by the sacrifice of praise, give God the glory of, and not be straitened therein; for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. If God favour us with his presence, we must honour him with our services, the best we have. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-11-14" class="com-number"

언약궤의 봉안(奉安). [1] 솔로몬이 여호와의 성전을 위하여 만든 모든 일이 마쳤더라. 솔로몬이 그의 아버지 다윗이 드린 모든 것들, 곧 은과 금과 모든 기구들을 가져다가 하나님의 성전 곳간에 두었더라. [2] 이에 솔로몬이 이스라엘 장로들과 이스라엘 자손들의 아버지의 각 지파 두목 즉 족장들을 예루살렘으로 소집하여, 다윗 성 곧 시온에서 여호와의 언약궤를 옮겨 오려 하니라. [3] 이스라엘 모든 사람이 일곱째 달 절기에 왕에게로 모이매 [4] 이스라엘 모든 장로들이 오고 레위 사람들이 궤를 메니라. [5] 그들이 궤를 메어 올리고 회막과 회막 안의 모든 거룩한 기구들을 올리니 제사장들과 레위 사람들이 그것들을 올렸더라. [6] 솔로몬 왕과 그와 함께 모인 이스라엘의 온 회중이 언약궤 앞에서 양과 소를 드렸는데 그 수가 심히 많아 계수도 못하고 기록도 못하였더라. [7] 제사장들이 여호와의 언약궤를 그 정해진 곳 즉 성전 내부, 지성소로, 곧 그룹들의 날개 아래로 들여갔으니 [8] 그룹들이 궤 있는 곳 위에서 날개를 펼쳐 궤와 그 채들을 위에서 덮었더라. [9] 채들이 길어서 채 끝들이 내부 지성소 앞에서 보이나 밖에서는 보이지 아니하니라. 그것이 오늘까지 거기 있더라. [10] 궤 안에는 호렙에서 여호와께서 이스라엘 자손과 언약을 맺으실 때 모세가 넣어 둔 두 돌판 외에 아무것도 없었더라.

이는 열왕기상 8:2-10 이하에서 이미 기록된 내용, 곧 언약궤를 새로 세워진 성전에 엄숙하게 봉안한 장면과 일치한다.

**첫째**, 헌납한 물건들을 들여오는 데에는 큰 의식이 필요하지 않았다(역대하 5:1). 그것들은 성전의 부를 더하고 아마 아름다움도 더하는 것이었으나, 거룩함을 더할 수는 없었다. 성전이 금을 거룩하게 하기 때문이다(마태복음 23:17). 솔로몬이 하나님께 대해서나 자기 아버지에 대해서 얼마나 의로웠는지를 보라. 다윗이 하나님께 드린 것은 그것이 자기 마음에 아무리 들더라도 결코 다른 용도로 쓰지 않고 성전 곳간에 두었다. 경건한 부모의 복을 이어받으려는 자녀들은 부모의 경건한 뜻을 경건히 이어가야 하며, 그 뜻을 무너뜨려서는 안 된다. 솔로몬이 성전 기구들을 풍성하게 만들고 나서도(역대하 4:18) 남은 재료들은 다른 용도로 전용하지 않고 필요할 때를 위해 곳간에 쌓아 두었다. 헌납한 것은 다른 데 써서는 안 된다. 그렇게 하는 것은 신성 모독이다.

**둘째**, 언약궤는 큰 엄숙함으로 봉안해야 마땅하였으며, 실제로 그렇게 하였다. 다른 모든 기구들은 새로 만들었고 성막 때보다 그에 비례해서 더 크게 만들었다. 그러나 언약궤는 속죄소와 그룹과 함께 그대로였다. 이는 하나님의 임재와 은혜가 작은 모임에서나 큰 모임에서나, 교회의 어려운 형편에서나 번성한 형편에서나 동일하기 때문이다. 두세 사람이라도 그리스도의 이름으로 모인 곳에는 2,000명이나 3,000명이 모인 것처럼 그가 참으로 함께하신다. 언약궤는 이스라엘 장로들로 이루어진 대규모 회중의 수행 아래 들여왔는데, 그들은 이 행사에 영광과 엄숙함을 더하기 위해 왔으며 의심의 여지 없이 매우 성대한 모습이었다(역대하 5:2-4). 궤는 제사장들이 메고(역대하 5:7) 지성소로 들어가 솔로몬이 세워 둔 큰 그룹들의 날개 아래에 두었다(역대하 5:7-8). "그것이 오늘까지 거기 있더라"(역대하 5:9)고 하는데, 이는 이 책이 포로 귀환 후에 기록될 때를 말하는 것이 아니라, 이 이야기의 출처가 된 원본이 기록될 당시를 가리킨다. 혹은 "오늘까지 거기 있었다"고 읽을 수도 있으니, 예루살렘이 황폐해지던 그 날, 그 비운의 날까지(시편 137:7). 언약궤는 그리스도의 예표였으며, 그로서 하나님의 임재의 표징이었다. "보라, 내가 세상 끝까지 항상 너희와 함께 있겠다"는 은혜로운 약속은 사실상 우리가 믿음과 기도로 그 약속을 붙들 때 언약궤를 우리의 예배 모임 안으로 들여오는 것과 같다. 이것을 우리는 가장 간절히 구해야 한다. "주님, 주님의 임재가 함께하지 않으면 우리가 어찌 올라갈 수 있겠습니까?" 성전도 그리스도께서 떠나시면 황폐한 곳이 된다(마태복음 23:38).

**셋째**, 언약궤와 함께 회막과 회막 안의 모든 거룩한 기구들도 올렸다(역대하 5:5). 이것들은 하나님께 드린 것이었으므로 다른 용도로 전용하거나 새 성전을 위해 녹여 쓰지 않았다. 비록 더 이상 필요하지 않더라도 그대로 보존하여 고대의 유물로 삼았으며, 아마도 쓸 수 있는 기구들은 계속해서 사용되었을 것이다.

**넷째**, 이 일은 큰 기쁨으로 행해졌다. 그들은 이 기회에 거룩한 절기를 지켰고(역대하 5:3) 셀 수 없이 많은 양과 소를 드렸다(역대하 5:6). 주목하라. (1) 하나님의 제정(制定)에 따라 그분의 임재의 표징과 함께 공적 예배가 확립되는 것은 어느 백성에게나 큰 기쁨이어야 마땅하다. (2) 그리스도가 영혼 안에 형성되고, 율법이 마음에 새겨지고, 언약궤가 그 안에 자리 잡아 성령의 성전이 될 때, 그 영혼 안에는 참된 만족이 있다. (3) 우리가 누리는 모든 위로에 대해서는 찬양의 제사로 하나님께 영광을 돌려야 하며 이를 아끼지 말아야 한다. 하나님께서는 그런 제사를 기뻐하신다. 하나님께서 그분의 임재로 우리를 은혜롭게 하신다면, 우리는 우리가 가진 최선으로 그분을 높여야 한다.

역대하 5장. 성전이 건축되고 하나님을 위해 단장된 이 장에서는 다음 두 가지를 다룬다. 첫째, 하나님께 소유권을 드리는 일 — 헌납한 물건들을 들여옴으로써(역대하 5:1), 그리고 특히 하나님의 임재의 표징인 언약궤를 들여옴으로써(역대하 5:2-10). 둘째, 하나님께서 친히 소유를 취하시는 일 — 구름으로써(역대하 5:11-14). 누구든지 마음의 문을 하나님께 열면 하나님께서 들어오신다(요한계시록 3:20).

11~14절 카드 ↗

The Temple Filled with Glory. . 11 And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place: (for all the priests that were present were sanctified, and did not then wait by course: 12 Also the Levites which were the singers, all of them of Asaph, of Heman, of Jeduthun, with their sons and their brethren, being arrayed in white linen, having cymbals and psalteries and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them an hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets:) 13 It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD ; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised the LORD , saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the LORD ; 14 So that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of God. Solomon, and the elders of Israel, had done what they could to grace the solemnity of the introduction of the ark; but God, by testifying his acceptance of what they did, put the greatest honour upon it. The cloud of glory that filled the house beautified it more than all the gold with which it was overlaid or the precious stones with which it was garnished; and yet that was no glory in comparison with the glory of the gospel dispensation, 2 Corinthians 3:8-10 . Observe, I. How God took possession of the temple: He filled it with a cloud, 2 Chronicles 5:13 ; 2 Chronicles 5:13 . 1. Thus he signified his acceptance of this temple to be the same to him that the tabernacle of Moses was, and assured them that he would be the same in it; for it was by a cloud that he made his public entry into that, Exodus 40:34 . 2. Thus he considered the weakness and infirmity of those to whom he manifested himself, who could not bear the dazzling lustre of the divine light: it would have overpowered them; he therefore spread his cloud upon it, Job 26:9 . Christ revealed things unto his disciples as they were able to bear them, and in parables, which wrapped up divine things as in a cloud. 3. Thus he would affect all that worshipped in his courts with holy reverence and fear. Christ's disciples were afraid when they entered into a cloud, Luke 9:34 . 4. Thus he would intimate the darkness of that dispensation, by reason of which they could not stedfastly look to the end of those things which were now abolished, 2 Corinthians 3:13 . II. When he took possession of it. 1. When the priests had come out of the holy place, 2 Chronicles 5:11 ; 2 Chronicles 5:11 . This is the way of giving possession. All must come out, that the rightful owner may come in. Would we have God dwell in our hearts? We must leave room for him; let every thing else give way. We are here told that upon this occasion the whole family of the priests attended, and not any one particular course: All the priests that were present were sanctified ( 2 Chronicles 5:11 ; 2 Chronicles 5:11 ), because there was work enough for them all, when such a multitude of sacrifices were to be offered, and because it was fit that they should all be eye-witnesses of this solemnity and receive the impressions of it. 2. When the singers and musicians praised God, then the house was filled with a cloud. This is very observable; it was not when they offered sacrifices, but when they sang the praises of God, that God gave them this token of his favour; for the sacrifice of praise pleaseth the Lord better than that of an ox or bullock, Psalms 69:31 . All the singers and musicians were employed, those of all the three families; and, to complete the concert, 120 priests, with their trumpets, joined with them, all standing at the east end of the altar, on that side of the court which lay outmost towards the people, 2 Chronicles 5:12 ; 2 Chronicles 5:12 . And, when this part of the service began, the glory of God appeared. Observe, (1.) It was when they were unanimous, when they were as one, to make one sound. The Holy God descended on the apostles when they met with one accord, Acts 2:1-4 . Where unity is the Lord commands the blessing. (2.) It was when they were lively and hearty, and lifted up their voice to praise the Lord. Then we serve God acceptably when we are fervent in spirit serving him. (3.) It was when they were, in their praises, celebrating the everlasting mercy and goodness of God. As there is one saying oftener repeated in scripture than this, his mercy endureth for ever (twenty-six times in one psalm, Psalms 136:1-26 , and often elsewhere), so there is none more signally owned from heaven; for it was not the expression of some rapturous flights that the priests were singing when the glory of God appeared, but this plain song, He is good, and his mercy endureth for ever. God's goodness is his glory, and he is pleased when we give him the glory of it. III. What was the effect of it. The priests themselves could not stand to minister, by reason of the cloud ( 2 Chronicles 5:14 ; 2 Chronicles 5:14 ), which, as it was an evidence that the law made men priests that had infirmity, so (as bishop Patrick observes) it was a plain intimation that the Levitical priesthood should cease, and stand no longer to minister, when the Messiah should come, in whom the fulness of the godhead should dwell bodily. In him the glory of God dwelt among us, but covered with a cloud. The Word was made flesh; and when he comes to his temple, like a refiner's fire, who may abide the day of his coming? And who shall stand when he appeareth?

성전에 가득 찬 영광. [11] 제사장들이 성소에서 나올 때에 — 거기 있던 모든 제사장들이 자신을 거룩하게 구별하고 그 때에는 반차를 따르지 아니하였음이라 — [12] 노래하는 레위 사람들 아삽과 헤만과 여두둔의 자손들과 그 형제들이 세마포를 입고 제단 동쪽에 섰으며 그들과 함께 나팔 부는 제사장 백이십 명도 있었더라. [13] 나팔 부는 자와 노래하는 자들이 일제히 소리를 내어 여호와를 찬양하며 감사하는데 나팔과 제금과 모든 악기 소리에 맞추어 여호와를 찬송하여 이르기를 "선하시도다, 그의 인자하심이 영원하도다" 하매 그 때에 여호와의 성전에 구름이 가득하였으니 [14] 제사장들이 그 구름으로 말미암아 능히 서서 섬기지 못하였으니 이는 여호와의 영광이 하나님의 성전에 가득함이었더라.

솔로몬과 이스라엘 장로들은 언약궤를 봉안하는 의식을 최대한 성대하게 치렀다. 그러나 하나님께서는 그들이 행한 일을 받으셨다는 표시로 그 행사에 가장 큰 영예를 더하셨다. 성전에 가득 찬 영광의 구름은 성전을 덮은 금이나 장식한 보석보다 더 아름다웠다. 그럼에도 그 영광은 복음 시대의 영광에 비하면 아무것도 아니다(고린도후서 3:8-10).

**I. 하나님께서 성전의 소유를 취하신 방법.** 하나님께서는 성전을 구름으로 가득 채우셨다(역대하 5:13).

1. 이로써 하나님께서는 이 성전이 모세의 성막과 동일하게 자신의 것임을 나타내셨고, 이 성전에서도 동일하게 함께하실 것을 확언하셨다. 하나님께서 성막에도 구름으로 공식 입성하셨기 때문이다(출애굽기 40:34).

2. 이로써 하나님께서는 당신을 드러내 보이시는 대상, 곧 하나님의 눈부신 빛의 광채를 감당하기 어려운 자들의 연약함을 헤아리셨다. 그 빛은 그들을 압도했을 것이다. 그러므로 하나님께서는 그 위에 구름을 드리우셨다(욥기 26:9). 그리스도께서도 제자들에게 그들이 감당할 수 있는 만큼만 진리를 나타내셨고, 비유로 말씀하셨는데 그것은 신성한 것을 구름으로 감싸는 것과 같았다.

3. 이로써 하나님께서는 그 앞에서 예배하는 모든 자에게 거룩한 경외심과 두려움을 갖게 하셨다. 그리스도의 제자들도 구름 속에 들어갈 때 두려워하였다(누가복음 9:34).

4. 이로써 하나님께서는 그 경륜의 어두움을 암시하셨으니, 그로 말미암아 그들은 폐지될 것들의 마지막을 끝까지 바라볼 수 없었다(고린도후서 3:13).

**II. 하나님께서 소유를 취하신 때.**

1. 제사장들이 성소에서 나왔을 때(역대하 5:11). 이것이 소유권을 넘겨주는 방식이다. 합법적인 주인이 들어오시려면 모두가 나가야 한다. 우리는 하나님께서 우리 마음 안에 거하시기를 원하는가? 그러면 그분을 위한 자리를 내드려야 한다. 다른 모든 것이 물러나야 한다. 이 때 제사장 전체 가문이 참석하였고 특정 반차만이 아니었다. "거기 있던 모든 제사장들이 자신을 거룩하게 구별하였다"(역대하 5:11). 그 수많은 제사를 드릴 때 모두가 필요하였고, 그들 모두가 이 엄숙한 장면을 직접 목격하고 그 감화를 받는 것이 마땅하였기 때문이다.

2. 노래하는 자들과 악사들이 하나님을 찬송하였을 때 성전이 구름으로 가득 찼다. 이것은 매우 주목할 만한 사실이다. 하나님께서 이 은총의 표시를 보여 주신 것은 제사를 드렸을 때가 아니라 하나님을 찬양하는 노래를 불렀을 때였다. 찬양의 제사가 수소나 황소의 제사보다 하나님을 더 기쁘게 하기 때문이다(시편 69:31). 세 가문의 모든 노래하는 자들이 동원되었고, 나팔을 가진 제사장 120명이 합세하여 연주를 완성하였으며, 그들 모두가 백성들이 있는 쪽으로 향한 제단 동쪽에 섰다(역대하 5:12). 그리고 이 예배가 시작되자 하나님의 영광이 나타났다.

주목하라.

(1) 그들이 한마음이 되었을 때, "일제히 소리를 내어" 하나가 되었을 때였다. 성령 하나님께서도 사도들이 한마음으로 모였을 때 임하셨다(사도행전 2:1-4). 연합이 있는 곳에 주님께서 복을 명하신다.

(2) 그들이 활기차고 온 마음을 다했을 때, 목소리를 높여 여호와를 찬송하였을 때였다. 우리가 열정으로 섬길 때 하나님을 기쁘게 섬기는 것이다.

(3) 그들이 찬송 중에 하나님의 영원한 인자하심과 선하심을 선포하고 있었을 때였다. 성경에서 "그의 인자하심이 영원하도다"라는 말씀만큼 자주 반복되는 말씀은 없고(시편 136편 한 편에만 스물여섯 번, 또 그 외 여러 곳에서), 이 말씀만큼 하늘로부터 분명하게 확증된 말씀도 없다. 하나님의 영광이 나타났을 때 제사장들이 부르던 것은 어떤 황홀한 영가가 아니라 이 단순한 찬송, 곧 "선하시도다, 그의 인자하심이 영원하도다"였다. 하나님의 선하심은 그분의 영광이며, 하나님께서는 우리가 그 영광을 드릴 때 기뻐하신다.

**III. 그 결과.** 제사장들이 그 구름으로 말미암아 능히 서서 섬기지 못하였다(역대하 5:14). 이는 율법이 연약함을 가진 사람들을 제사장으로 삼았다는 증거이며, 패트릭 주교가 관찰한 바와 같이 레위 제사장 직분이 그쳐야 함을 분명히 암시하는 것이기도 하다. 메시아께서 오실 때 레위 제사장직은 더 이상 서서 섬기지 못하게 된다. 메시아 안에는 신성의 충만함이 몸으로 거하신다. 그 안에서 하나님의 영광이 우리 가운데 거하셨지만 구름으로 가리어져 있었다. 말씀이 육신이 되셨다. 그분이 연단하는 자의 불과 같이 성전에 오실 때 누가 그 임하시는 날을 감당하겠으며, 그가 나타나실 때 누가 설 수 있겠는가(말라기 3:1-2)?
