AC 9910.
And thou shalt make the robe of the ephod all of blue.
And there shall be a mouth of the head of it in the midst thereof;
there shall be a lip for the mouth of it round about,
the work of the weaver,
as the mouth of a coat of mail it shall be, that it be not rent.
And upon the skirts of it thou shalt make pomegranates of blue,
and of crimson, and of scarlet double-dyed,
upon the skirts thereof round about;
and bells of gold in the midst of them round about;
a bell of gold and a pomegranate, a bell of gold and a pomegranate,
upon the skirts of the robe round about.
And it shall be upon Aaron to minister;
and the voice thereof shall be heard when he goes in
unto the holiness before Jehovah, and when he goes out; that he die not.
(Exodus 28:31-35)
"And thou shalt make the robe of the ephod,"
signifies Divine truth in the internal form in the spiritual kingdom;
"all of blue,"
signifies by means of influx from the good of the celestial kingdom;
"and there shall be a mouth of the head of it in the midst thereof,"
signifies the method of the influx from what is above;
"there shall be a lip for the mouth of it round about,"
signifies bounded and closed on every side;
"the work of the weaver,"
signifies from the celestial;
"as the mouth of a coat of mail it shall be, that it be not rent,"
signifies thus strong and safe from injury;
"and upon the skirts of it thou shalt make,"
signifies in the extremes where is what is natural;
"pomegranates,"
signifies memory-knowledges of good;
"of blue, and of crimson, and of scarlet double-dyed,"
signifies from the good of charity and of faith;
"upon the skirts thereof round about,"
signifies in the extremes where the natural is, on every side;
"and bells of gold"
signifies all things of doctrine and of worship
from good passing over to those who are of the church;
"in the midst of them round about,"
signifies from what is within the memory-knowledges of good on every side;
"a bell of gold and a pomegranate,
a bell of gold and a pomegranate,
upon the skirts of the robe round about,"
signifies thus everywhere;
"and it shall be upon Aaron,"
signifies a representative of the Lord;
"to minister,"
signifies when engaged in worship and in evangelization;
"and the voice thereof shall be heard,"
signifies the influx of truth
with those who are in the heavens and who are on earth;
"when he goes in unto the holiness before Jehovah,
and when he goes out,"
signifies in every state of good and truth in worship;
"that he die not,"
signifies that the representative does not perish,
and therewith the conjunction with the heavens.
