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。

回來
在《圣经》中，有很多描述人回头看、回头看或回去的例子。在大多数情况下，这是一种消极的，有时是毁灭性的（就像罗得的妻子，当她回望所多玛的毁灭时，变成了一根盐柱子）。一般情况下，这代表着我们的状态，当我们进入到一个新的精神境界，发现自己希望得到旧的安逸和轻松时，回去代表着回到更早的低级阶段。 当 "回 "与物联系在一起的时候，"回 "的意义更多的是字面意义。当有人拿东西回来或给东西时，其精神意义大多是以物与行为人为中心。
亞倫
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。
