9565. 'And there shall be a pomegranate under [the first] two branches out of it, and a pomegranate under [the second] two branches out of it, and a pomegranate under [the third] two branches out of it' means factual knowledge of good for every single truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'a pomegranate' as factual knowledge of good, dealt with in 9552; and from the meaning of 'branches' as truths derived from good, dealt with in 9555. The use of the same words three times means every single one, and in the internal sense a complete joining together; for 'three' means completeness, 2788, 4495, 7715, 9198, and 'two' a joining together, 1686, 5194, 8423.
9555. 'And there shall be six branches going out of its sides' means all the capacities of truth derived from good in their entirety. This is clear from the meaning of 'six' as all in their entirety, dealt with in 3960 (end), 7973, 8148; and from the meaning of 'branches going out of the sides' as truths derived from good. For the branches out of the lampstand have a similar meaning to human arms and hands, because every single thing that exists in the natural order bears resemblance to the human form and for that reason has a spiritual meaning, 9496, 9553. The arms and hands on a person correspond to truths derived from good, and consequently to power, 878, 4931-4937, 5327, 5328, 6292, 6947, 7188, 7189, 7205, 7518, 7673, 8050, 8153, 8281, 9025, 9133. From all this it is evident that 'six branches going out of the sides' means all the capacities of truth derived from good in their entirety.
