AC 9617, 9618 - Curtains; AC 9635 - Shittim Wood; AC 9635 - Good & Truth, Flame & Light

AC 9617

The length of one curtain shall be thirty cubits.
(Exodus 26:8)

That this signifies the fullness of truth from good,
is evident from the signification of "length,"
as being good;
from the signification of a "curtain,"
as being truth from external celestial good;
and from the signification of "thirty,"
as being what is full.

AC 9618
And the breadth four cubits.
(Exodus 26:8)
That this signifies the marriage of truth with good.

AC 9635
Of shittim wood.
(Exodus 26:15)

That this signifies the good of merit
from the Lord's Divine Human,
is evident from the signification of "shittim wood,"
as being the good of merit
from the Lord's Divine Human.

AC 9637

Good without truth does not appear,
and truth without good does not exist,
for truth is the form of good,
and good is the being of truth.
It is from form that good appears,
and it is from being that truth exists.
The case herein is like that of flame and light;
flame without light does not appear,
and therefore it emits from itself light
that it may appear;
and light without flame does not exist.
It is the same with man's will and his understanding;
the will does not appear without the understanding,
and the understanding does not exist without the will.
