9529. Two cubits the length thereof. That this signifies all in respect to conjunction with good, is evident from the signification of “two,” as being conjunction, and as being each and all things (that it denotes conjunction, see n. 1686, 5194, 8423, and from this each and all things, n. 9166); and from the signification of “length,” as being good (n. 9487). Consequently by “a length of two cubits” is signified all in respect to conjunction with good. By conjunction with good is meant the conjunction of the receptacle, which is signified by “the table,” with the good of love, which is signified by “the breads of faces” upon the table (of which below). For the receptacle must be accommodated to the things to be received, and the things to be received bear relation to good and to truth. Accommodation and the consequent conjunction are described by the numbers by which the length and breadth are marked out. (That in the Word real things are described by means of numbers, see n. 9488)
