诫命
命令是指下达必须做某事的命令，是针对个人或团体的。这是一种命令，而不是建议。 指挥可以有两种方式，或者是出于两种不同的动机。它常常出现在一个组织中，用来强行执行组织工作所必需的命令，如企业、政府或军队，它可以是合法的，或者在家庭中被父母用来维持家庭的秩序。但也可能被一个喜欢权力的人利用，在通过某种方式得到权力后，喜欢把自己的意志强加给别人，以获得私欲的满足。 所以一个动机是爱用，或爱善，另一个动机是为了爱自己，或爱财物。 主从他无限的爱出发，给了人类诫命，因为他就是秩序本身，他知道我们的幸福到永远取决于我们接受他的创造秩序，而这最终是唯一存在的秩序。

神
主是爱本身，以智慧本身的形式表达。爱是他的本质，也是他的全部。智慧-对如何将爱付诸行动的热爱理解-稍微有点外在，为爱提供了一种表达自我的方式。 当圣经说“耶和华”时，它代表的是至高无上的爱，这是主的本质。那爱本身就是一个完整的整体，而爱也是一个，只适用于主的名字。然而，智慧表达在各种各样的思想和观念中，这些著作统称为神的真理。也有许多虚构的神，有时天使和人也可以被称为神（耶和华说摩西将成为亚伦的神）。因此，当圣经称上帝为“上帝”时，多数情况下是指神圣的真理。 在其他情况下，“上帝”指的是所谓的神圣人类。情况是这样的： 作为人类，我们不能直接将主作为上帝的爱来参与。它太强大了，太纯净了。相反，我们必须通过神圣的真理了解他来接近他。因此，神圣的真理是人类形式的主，这是我们可以接近和理解的形式。因此，“上帝”也被用来指代人类这一方面，因为它是真理的表达。

天
"空气 "在《圣经》中代表了思想，但以一种非常笼统的方式--更像是我们感知思想的能力和我们倾向于思考的方式，而不是我们对具体事物的具体想法。 仔细想想，这也是有道理的。我们通过空气看到周围的世界，看到对应于理解。我们通过空气听到，而听觉对应着被教化和服从。鸟儿在空中飞翔，它们代表着具体的思想和观念。而呼吸本身--吸进空气，将氧气传递到血液中--代表着我们对真正的精神理念的理解。

埃及
在圣经中，埃及的意思是知识和爱知识。从好的意义上说，这意味着通过《圣经》从主那里获得真理的知识，但从自然的意义上说，它只是意味着要储存和占有的世俗知识。而且即使是来自圣经的知识也不一定是好的：如果我们学习它们的目的是使它们有用，那么它们就充满了天使的思想。但如果只是为了认识事物或为了学问的名声而学习它们，那它们就是。 所以，埃及是一个你去学习东西的地方，但要想成为天国，你就必须摆脱无菌的 "知"，前往迦南地，在那里，知识充满了内心对善的渴望。 有趣的是，当约瑟统治埃及时，埃及是他父亲和兄弟的天堂。这说明，当一个人的内在心灵在学问之地统治的时候，可以学到很多有用的东西。但最终出现了一个不认识约瑟的法老，以色列子民就被奴役了。法老代表着外在的心灵；当它掌管的时候，知道的兴奋和自满会使内在的心灵沦为一种奴役。心灵--就像以色列子民一样--最终会从外在的表象中制造出砖头，或人为的假象。

建造
建造东西一般是指把各种比较简单的东西拼凑起来，做成一个有用的、比较复杂的结构，就像用木头或砖头盖房子一样，在圣经中通常是这样用的。在希拿地，人希望建造一座塔，在新约中耶稣建议聪明人要把房子建在石头上。但从代表意义上讲，意思是指建造一个精神和属灵的结构，就像教会的教义或灵性现实的个别概念在一个人的头脑中的个别概念。 建筑材料也是有代表性的。巴别塔是用砖头建造的，砖头是人造的石头，或者说是人造的 "真理"，也就是 "真理 "不是来自神，而是人想出来的属灵的想法。聪明人要建造的房子是建立在天然的或 "神所造 "的岩石上，也就是来自于道的真理。

住
在圣经时代，特别是旧约时代，许多人都是游牧民族，他们住在帐篷里，可以快速地打点、移动和重新搭建。当然，还有一些人住在房子里，一般是用石头和木头做的，相当永久。介于这两者之间的是更大、更精致的帐篷式结构，称为帐棚或住所；摩西为约柜所建的帐棚就是以这种模式为基础。 那么，"住 "在某个地方，意义重大--它比单纯的参观要多得多--但却不如住在那里永久。而事实上，在《圣经》中，住在某处，代表着进入那种属灵的状态，并与之交往，但不一定是永久的。 同时，"住处 "代表着激发居住在其中的人的各种爱，从最邪恶的--例如以赛亚书第9章中的 "那些住在死亡阴影里的人"--到会幕本身的崇高状态，会幕是作为主的住处而建造的，代表着天堂的所有细节。

吃
当我们吃东西的时候，我们的身体会分解食物，并从中获得能量和建造和修复身体的材料。 这个过程在《圣经》的象征层面上是大同小异的。食物代表着对美好的渴望，以及从这种对美好的渴望中产生的洞察力--来自于主的善意和理解。但要把它们用起来，我们必须把它们收进来，变成我们自己的--这就是属灵的饮食。

喝
圣经》中的食物代表着对善的渴望，而水和其他饮料则代表着我们需要认识到什么是善，以及如何将善变为现实--或如瑞典堡所说的简单的 "真理"--的理解和真念。那么，当《圣经》中的人（或动物）喝水时，就代表着学习真谛，并将其内化，从而可以使用。在相反的意义上，它可能意味着接受错误的思想，而让它们污染心灵。 当一个人喝了干净的水，代表着从圣经中得到简单的、外在的思想。喝好酒，代表着学习到圣经故事中更深层次的属灵思想。这就是为什么耶稣对撒玛利亚妇人说，他所赐的水会成为 "涌出的井，直到永生"（约翰福音4：14）。 指示的细节也可以根据喝水的人或事物而有所不同。当利百加给亚伯拉罕仆人的骆驼喂水时（创24），这意味着从《圣经》中关于已知事实的指示，到心灵的外在部分。当雅各给拉班的羊群浇水时（创世记29章），这意味着从教义中得到关于爱善的指示。

永远
在许多情况下，圣经中 "永恒 "的使用是相当字面的，简单的意思就是永远。特别是当文中提到某人被判处下地狱或升入天堂时，更是如此。 然而，在某些情况下，"永恒 "或 "旧日 "指的是《圣经》中所说的最古教会--最早的人中的第一个教会，是直接出于爱主而行动的无辜灵魂。由于这种联想，被称为 "永恒 "或 "永生 "的事物通常代表着因爱主而产生的对美好的渴望。 如果我们爱主，那么我们的愿望就会是遵行祂的旨意，爱如祂的爱。由此，我们就会有一个真正的愿望，去爱和关心别人。这就是 "永恒 "所描述的感觉。

肉
肉体有几种含义，只是在最明显的形式上。它可以指所有的活物，就像主说到洪水 "毁灭一切肉体 "一样。创世记7:21)，也可以指全人类(创世记6:3)，也可以是指柔软和屈服的东西，如用肉心代替石心(以西结书11:19)但在精神上，它的意思是指住在一个人的意志中的爱，似乎属于这个人，成为那个人。这个人可能是一个还没有开始重生(或永远不会重生)的人，也可能是一个正在重生过程中的人，也可能是一个快要结束的人。在最高的意义上，肉体是指在主的旨意中的爱，是神圣的。这个意思在主在约翰福音中的话中很清楚(约翰福音6:53-56) 每个人都有这样一个爱的包裹，它可以很恶，可以很杂，也可以很好，就像同样，每个人都有肉体一样。我们在生活的时候，属灵的工作就是要把这个包裹，一次一次的感情从坏变好。如果我们努力做到这一点，主就会帮助我们 当我们开始的时候，我们的爱是自私的，在灵性上我们是死的，就像以西结看到的骨头一样，但是当我们坚持离弃恶行的时候，主就会使骨头被收拢，肉体降临在骨头上，柔软而有爱，我们就会用新的向外转的爱来代替旧的自私的爱而活过来。 所以，"肉体 "的意义可以从我们原来的意志，在我们的唆使下，在主的帮助下，一块一块地被拆解，最终变成新的意志，取代它。这就是为什么在以色列教会的一些祭祀中，肉体要被烧掉，而在另一些祭祀中，肉体可以被祭司吃掉。代表旧的原始意志的被烧掉，但可以吃的代表新的意志。

兄弟
"兄弟 "在《圣经》中有两种用法，在现代语言中仍有体现。一种是指实际的血缘关系；另一种是以 "人的兄弟关系 "的方式，更广泛地指共同性。 第二种用法在圣经中是一致的，意思是指那些活在行善的爱中的人。这可以是不同层次的，从简单的顺服的喜乐，到服侍别人的慈善之爱，再到主自己的崇高之爱。但在这些爱中都是兄弟。 启示录解释》，第746页。 "这样的人之所以被称为弟兄，是因为他们都有一位父亲，即主；那些在爱主的好处上，在对邻舍的仁爱上，都是主的儿子。(S)既然是一位父亲的儿子，他们也是弟兄。而且，主父的大诫命，就是要他们彼此相爱，因此，是爱使他们成为弟兄......" 有血缘关系的兄弟，情况就比较复杂，其意义更多的是受兄弟的身份和故事背景的影响。一般来说，它们反映了行善的愿望和对如何行善的理解之间可能存在的统一。该隐和亚伯以及几对双胞胎都是如此。雅各布和以扫、犹大的儿子撒拉和法勒斯、约瑟的儿子以法莲和玛拿西；在每一个案例中，一个代表了行善的愿望，另一个代表了对真理的理解。 因为这种善与真的兄弟情谊，兄弟可以根据上下文的不同，代表任何一种。事实上，约瑟的兄弟们的意义在他的故事中不断变化，因为他们代表了犹太信仰的先驱的精神衰落和重生。...
怀
"胸怀 "在一般情况下是指胸部，但更多的是作为情感的所在地，而不是简单的身体的一部分。你会想到把听诊器放在胸前听自己的心跳，但你会把不高兴的孩子抱在胸前给予爱和安慰。 属灵的意义与这个想法相通；《圣经》说，胸怀代表着我们真正拥有的爱，那些定义我们并使我们独一无二的东西，是我们自己的爱。其中一个最好的说明是，圣经称男人的妻子为 "他怀中的妻子"，或女人的丈夫为 "她怀中的丈夫"（申28：54，56）。这意味着他们在内心深处真正属于对方，他们所代表的精神元素是彼此身份的内在因素。

脚
我们的脚是我们身体最底层的部分，它们非常有用!在《圣经》中，脚代表了我们灵性自我中最低级、最功利的部分--"自然 "层面。这个生活的日常层面涉及到常规的任务和要求，以及与之相关的思想。它不是非常深刻或内省，但它是有用的--就像脚一样。 主和教会团体的这种对应关系也是如此。主的神性自然引导我们通过相对简单的顺服（想想十条诫命，和两条大诫命）。教会也有一个自然的层面，在这个层面上，他们以简单而具体的方式服务于他们的社区。
