亚伦
亚伦是摩西的兄弟。他象征着两件事,一是在出埃及记的前半部分,他是摩西的代言人,二是在大帐幕建成后,他被任命为大祭司之后。 在故事的第一部分中,摩西代表了道的真实面目,就像在天上所理解的那样,而亚伦则代表了道的外在意义,就像人在世上所理解的那样。这就是为什么他为摩西说话,耶和华对他说:"他要为你们作口,你们也要对他作神。"(出埃及记 4:16). 后来,当亚伦穿上他的礼服时(见利未记各章 8, 9他被任命为以色列的大祭司。在这个角色中,亚伦代表耶和华,代表神的善,而摩西代表耶和华,代表神的真理。

以法莲
以法莲是约瑟在埃及所生的第二个儿子,和他的哥哥玛拿西一起,被雅各提升到和约瑟的兄弟们一样的地位。因此,当以色列各支派被命名时,以法莲和玛拿西与他们的叔父--流便、西缅、利未、犹大、但、拿弗他利、迦得、亚设、以萨迦、西布伦和便雅悯--一起被列为族长,但约瑟却没有。 根据瑞典堡的说法,以法莲代表教会的智力方面,即探索和理解真实的部分--特别是可以从圣经中得出的真实想法。同时,玛拿西代表了教会的情感方面,即感受、爱和关心的部分。 这就演变成以法莲一生中最著名的故事。雅各老了,快死的时候,约瑟带着他的两个儿子来受祝福。他把玛拿西作为长子送给雅各的右手,把以法莲送给雅各的左手。但雅各双手交叉,把主要的祝福给了以法莲。 按照瑞典堡的说法,玛拿西是长子,因为归根结底,我们所爱的东西使我们成为我们自己,我们的爱形成了我们的生命。所以,我们的爱是我们人类存在的最核心、最主要的方面,我们的智力是次要的角色。但是随着我们的发展,我们需要扭转这些。我们可以用我们的智力去理解什么是好的、正确的,并强迫自己去做,即使我们的欲望是为了自私的东西。如果我们出于跟随主、做好人的决心而坚持这样做,主最终会把我们心中的私心去除,让我们真正爱上善的东西。主让雅各在玛拿西之上祝福以法莲,就是在告诉我们,我们要追求属灵的旅程,必须把智慧放在第一位。

长子
当《圣经》谈到世代或出生顺序时,其内在的意义与灵性状态的进展和它们的相对重要性有关。那么,长子将是第一个、领先的灵性状态,为所有后续的灵性状态奠定基础。 当然,归根结底,所有的精神状态都有其源头,那就是来自于主的完美的、无限的爱,所以在最深的层面上,这种爱--主本身的本质--就是指 "长子"。在某种程度上,主的爱也是自然层面上的终极 "长子";我们可以通过不计其数的世代和亿万年的演化,清晰地追溯到创世本身的那一刻,将孩子追溯到父母。既然创造来自于主爱的无限能量,那么从某种程度上来说,他也就成了自然界的长子。 不过,圣经中大多数对 "长子 "的使用并不是在这个终极层面上,它们是指一个人或一个教会的 "长子"。这大致可分为两类。如果这个人或那个教会是属天的,它的 "长子 "就会在某个层面上有向善的愿望,从较低层面的服侍别人的愿望到最高层面的爱主。这个人或那个教会的所有方面都会从这个初生的爱中逐步流露出来。如果这个人或那个教会在本质上是属灵的--在生命的过程中和现代世界中更为常见--那么第一胎将是对什么是好的理解,对主和主的愿望的认识。那个人或那个教会的所有方面都将从这种深刻的理解中流露出来,在瑞典堡中通常被称为 "信仰"。这是《圣经》中 "长子 "最常见的意思。

四
圣经中的数字 "四 "代表着事物被联系在一起或连接在一起。这部分是因为四是二乘以二,而二代表了我们对美好的愿望和对真理的理解之间的最终联系。我们也可以从大多数建筑都是长方形的事实中看到,四条边连接在一起,成为一个整体。我们也把方向分为北、东、南、西四个方向,谈到某件事情的 "四角 "就是指全部。所以我们的特殊思维很自然地把四条边看成是连成一个整体。

营
圣经中的营地代表着属灵的秩序--一个人(或一个教会团体)对善的愿望和如何成为善人的真实想法的全部集合,所有的人都被设置在适当的安排中,以相互支持并作为一个整体工作。 终极的例子是以色列子民的营会,分为十二个支派,并按详细的指示设置。由于它的组织,它代表了天堂本身,天使们都在最适合他们最深爱和思想的地方。这就是为什么巴兰在《民数记》第24章中,从山上俯视营地时,将它描述得如此美丽。"雅各啊,你的帐棚和以色列啊,你的帐棚是何等的美好如同山谷铺开,如河边的花园,如耶和华所种的木麻黄树,又如水边的雪松树。" 从相反的意义上说,以色列敌人的阵营代表着地狱的无间道秩序,以及邪恶和错误信仰的结构,在邪恶的人身上统治。...
