9819. 'And they shall make Aaron's garments' means through whom the spiritual kingdom exists. This is clear from the meaning of 'Aaron's garments' as a representative sign of the Lord's spiritual kingdom lying adjacent to His celestial kingdom, dealt with above in 9814. The reason why the wise at heart, filled with the spirit of wisdom, were to make those garments is that by these people those in the celestial kingdom are meant, and the spiritual kingdom is what springs from and so what covers that celestial kingdom like a garment next to the body, as also becomes clear from the things that have been stated in 9818.

9260. 'You shall not turn aside the judgement of your needy one in his dispute' means not destroying the small amount of truth with those lacking in knowledge. This is clear from the meaning of 'turning aside' as perverting and so destroying; from the meaning of 'the judgement' as that which is upright and true, dealt with in 2235, 2335, 5068, 6397, 7206, 8685, 8695, 8972; from the meaning of 'needy one' as those who have only a small amount of truth owing to lack of knowledge and still have a desire to receive instruction, dealt with in 9209; and from the meaning of 'dispute' or 'quarrel' as contention, dealt with in 5963, 9024. 'In his dispute' here means in his cause involving the small amount of truth which he contends for.
