9881. “用纯金” 表通过属天良善. 这从 “金” 的含义清楚可知.

“金” 是指爱之良善 (参看113, 1551, 1552, 5658, 6914, 6917, 8932, 9490, 9510节); 由于经上用的是 “纯金” 这个词, 故所表示的是属天良善. 因为既有属天良善, 也有属灵良善, 这二者既可以是内在的, 也可以是外在的; 属天良善是对主之爱的良善, 属灵良善是对邻之爱的良善. 在圣言中, 所有这些良善都被称为 “金”. 但它们彼此有别, 分为来自 “乌法”,

“俄斐”,

“示巴”,

“哈腓拉”, 以及 “他施” 的金子: 来自乌法的金子 (耶利米书 10:9; 但以理书 10:5) 表示属天良善; 来自俄斐的金子 (以赛亚书 13:12; 诗篇 45:9; 约伯记 22:24; 28:16) 表示属灵良善; 来自示巴的金子 (以赛亚书 60:6; 以西结书 27:22; 诗篇 72:15) 表示宗教知识层面的良善; 来自哈腓拉的金子 (创世记 2:11, 12), 以及来自他施的银和金 (以赛亚书 60:9) 表示记忆知识层面的真理和良善.

Arcana Coelestia # 8267

8267. 'And song is Jah' means that the source of the whole of faith and of the glory resulting from it is Divine Truth which originates in Him. This is clear from the meaning of 'song', in reference to Jehovah, as an ascription of glory to the Lord, dealt with above in 8261. But when used in reference to man, as it is here, it means glory existing as a result of faith, and so faith from which glory results; for the whole of the glory which man has exists as a result of faith in the Lord, since faith which really is faith has its origin in the Lord, so that the Lord is within faith and consequently glory itself is also present. A further reason why man's glory is a result of faith is that Divine Truth, the source and conveyor of faith, appears before angels' eyes as light, and also as the brightness and radiance of light. This radiance, along with the magnificent scenes in heaven that are products of the light, is called the glory, which is accordingly nothing other than Divine Truth, and so nothing other than faith. This then explains why 'song', in reference to man, means glory resulting from faith.

[2] 'Jah' means Divine Truth that emanates from the Lord's Divine Human. This is because Jah is derived from Jehovah, and the name Jah is used because it does not mean Being (Esse) but the Coming-into-Being arising from Being (Existere ex Esse); for Divine Truth is the Coming-into-Being (Existere), whereas Divine Good is Being (Esse), see 6880. This also is why the expression 'song is Jah' is used, for 'song' means faith that is a product of Divine Truth. 'Jah' again means Divine Truth in David,

Sing to God, praise His name; extol Him who rides on the clouds by His name Jah, and exult before Him. Psalms 68:4.

Praising and extolling God 'by His name Jah' is doing so through Divine Truth. Again in the same author,

In distress I called on Jah; Jah answered me in a broad place. Jehovah helped me. My strength and song is lain. I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of Jah. I will enter through the gates of righteousness, and confess Jah. Psalms 118:5, 13-14, 17, 19.

Here 'Jah' is the Lord in respect of Divine Truth. Jah has the same meaning in the exclamation Hallelujah, at Psalms 105:45; 106:1, 48; 111:1; 112:1; 113:1, 9; 115:17-18; 116:19.
