5320. “把金项链戴在他的颈项上” 表一个外在标志, 表示内层事物与外层事物的联结; 实现这种联结的, 是良善. 这从 “颈项” 的含义清楚可知, “颈项” 是指流注, 以及高层事物与低层事物的联系, 或也可说, 内层事物与外层事物的联系 (参看3542节); 因此, “项链” 由于环绕脖子, 故是表示这些事物联结起来的一个标志. “金项链” 表示经由良善的联结, 或通过良善实现的联结, 因为 “金” 表示良善 (113, 1551, 1552节). 以西结书中 “戴在颈上的项链” 就表示一个标志, 表示内层真理与外层真理的联结

我用妆饰打扮你, 将镯子戴在你手上, 将项链戴在你颈上. (以西结书 16:11)
