That this signifies the external of the spiritual kingdom from this good, is evident from the signification of “the ephod,” as being the external of the spiritual kingdom (n. 9824); from the signification of “gold,” as being good, here good universally reigning (of which above, n. 9832); and from the signification of “blue, crimson, scarlet double-dyed, and fine twined linen,” as being the good of charity and of faith (of which just above, n. 9833); wherefore the external of the spiritual kingdom is derived from this good.
