9616. “你要作十一幅幔子” 表构成它的一切真理. 这从 “十一” 和 “山羊毛的幔子” 的含义清楚可知:

“十一” 是指一切, 如下文所述;

“山羊毛的幔子” 是指源于外在属天良善的真理, 如刚才所述 (9615节).

“十一” 表示一切的原因是, 十幅幔子构成罩棚本身, 第十一幅幔子作为余下的垂在居所后面, 这从接下来9, 12, 13节的经文可以看出来.

“十” 表示一切或全部 (4638, 9595节).

The Bible describes many things as being holy, or sacred. The Ark of the Covenant is one very holy object. The inmost chamber of the tabernacle is called the "Holy of Holies". Things that proceed from the Lord are holy. Objects are holy if they contain something, or represent something, from the Lord. For that reason, the names of the Lord in human languages are holy because they represent qualities of the Lord, things that are Him. The Bible is holy because it contains, interiorly, the Lord's divine truth. The tabernacle of Israel was holy -- not because of the wood or gold or dyed cloth -- but because those things represented qualities that the Lord has. Those same qualities exist, as in an image, in the spiritual states of people who follow the Lord's laws. No person is holy, but if a person's mind contains truth from the Lord and his or her will comes to love the truths and the actions that these truths suggest to him, then his or her mind will contain holy things, because those truths and loves come from the Lord. These things become that person's life and they remain with that person in heaven, after death.
