AC 9930 - And thou shall make a plate of pure gold. (Exodus 28:36)

AC 9930
And thou shall make a plate of pure gold.
That this signifies enlightenment from the Lord's Divine good,
is evident from the signification of "a plate," as being enlightenment;
and from the signification of "gold," as being the good of love,
here the Lord's Divine good,
because there was inscribed upon it, "Holiness to Jehovah."
That "the plate" denotes enlightenment, was from its brightness,
for it was resplendent from gold upon Aaron's forehead,
and all brightness signifies enlightenment
such as is in the heavens from the Lord as the Sun.
Enlightenment in the heavens is wisdom and intelligence
from the Divine truth proceeding from the Lord from that Sun,
for this enlightens their interiors.
Their interiors correspond to the understanding with man,
which is enlightened by the Lord
when the truth and good of the church and heaven are perceived;
for the understanding is the recipient subject;
because without a subject there is no reception.
