9687. “拿蓝色, 紫色, 染过两次的朱红色线和捻的细麻” 表由仁与信的良善构成. 这从 “蓝色, 紫色, 染过两次的朱红色线和捻的细麻” 的含义清楚可知. 在论述表示至内层天堂和中间天堂之间的联结媒介的地方,

“蓝色, 紫色, 染过两次的朱红色线和捻的细麻” 是指爱与信之良善 (参看9671节), 但在此是指仁与信之良善, 因为所论述的主题是帘子, 帘子表示第二层天堂与最低层天堂之间的联结媒介 (9686节). 事实上, 在至内层天堂掌权的, 是对主之爱的良善; 但在中间天堂掌权的, 是对邻之仁的良善; 在最低层天堂掌权的, 则是信之良善. 正因如此,

“蓝色, 紫色, 染过两次的朱红色线和捻的细麻” 表示在这些天堂掌权的良善.

As with many common verbs, the meaning of “to say” in the Bible is highly dependent on context. Who is speaking? Who is hearing? What is it about? Is it a command, a message, an apology, instruction? All these things enter into the meaning of “say.” In general, though, “saying” has to do with sharing truth at various levels -- from the most exalted power people can have to perceive the Lord's desires directly to the most basic of orders issued to people at their lowest.
