10014. 'And you shall gird them with belts' means a bond joining things together, in order that all may be held in connection and consequently in a heavenly form. This is clear from the meaning of 'belt' as an outward bond that holds all the truths and forms of the good of faith in connection and form within itself, dealt with in 9341(end), 9828, 9837, 9944.

9943. 'And you shall make the turban of fine linen' means the wisdom there. This is clear from the meaning of 'the turban' as intelligence and - when it has reference to the Lord, represented here by Aaron - as wisdom, dealt with in 9827; and from the meaning of 'fine linen' as truth from a celestial origin, dealt with in 9469, for from such truth wisdom, meant here by 'the turban', is derived. All wisdom and intelligence springs from Divine Truth emanating from the Lord's Divine Good. No other wisdom and intelligence that is real wisdom and intelligence can exist, because none can arise from any other source. Intelligence consists in coming to know and understand God's truths, and afterwards believing in them, while wisdom consists in willing and loving them, and consequently living in accordance with them.
