AC 9681 - Exodus 26:34-37

AC 9681
And
you shall bestow the propitiatory [mercy seat]
upon the ark of the Testimony in the holy of holies.
And
you shall put the table outside the veil,
and the lampstand over against the table
upon the side of the Habitation toward the south;
and you shall bestow the table at the side of the north.
And
you shall make a covering for the door of the Tent,
of blue, and crimson, and scarlet double-dyed, and fine twined linen,
the work of the embroiderer.
And
you shall make for the covering five pillars of shittim,
and overlay them with gold;
and their hooks shall be of gold;
and
you shall cast for them five bases of brass.
(Exodus 26:34-37)

"And you shall bestow the propitiatory [mercy seat]
upon the ark of the Testimony in the holy of holies,"

signifies the hearing and reception of all things in the inmost heaven
which are of worship from the good of love from the Lord;
"and
you shall put the table outside the veil,"
signifies influx through the celestial things that belong to love;
"and the lampstand over against the table
on the side of the Habitation toward the south,"

signifies the illumination of the spiritual kingdom
through the Divine truth that proceeds from the Lord's Divine Human
to those who are in good;
"and
you shall bestow the table at the side of the north,"
signifies good in obscurity;
"and
you shall make a covering for the door of the Tent,"
signifies the intermediate that unites the second or middle heaven
with the first or ultimate one;
"of blue, and crimson, and scarlet double-dyed, and fine twined linen,"
signifies from the good of charity and of faith;
"the work of the embroiderer,"
signifies things of memory-knowledge;
"and
you shall make for the covering five pillars of shittim,"
signifies the support of the uniting intermediate, as far as is sufficient,
through the good of merit which belongs to the Lord's Divine Human;
"and overlay them with gold,"
signifies a representative of good;
"and their hooks shall be of gold,"
signifies the methods of conjunction through good;
"and
you shall cast for them five bases of brass,"
signifies power from external good.
