61. The precepts of that law are called the Ten Commandments (Exodus 34:28, Deuteronomy 4:13, 10:4), and are so called because the number ten symbolizes everything, and commandments symbolize truths. For there were more than ten.

Because the number ten symbolizes everything, therefore the Tabernacle had ten curtains (Exodus 26:1). Therefore the Lord said that a man about to receive a kingdom called his ten servants and gave them ten minas with which to do business (Luke 19:13). Therefore the Lord likened the kingdom of heaven to ten virgins (Matthew 25:1). Therefore the dragon in Revelation 12:3 is described as having ten horns, and upon the horns seven jewels. Likewise the beast coming up out of the sea in Revelation 13:1. So, too, another beast, in Revelation 17:3, 7, and also the beast in Daniel 7:7, 20, 24.

The number ten has the same symbolism in Leviticus 26:26, Zechariah 8:23, and elsewhere.

This is the origin of the “tenths” or tithes, which symbolize something from all.

Exodus 25:17-21

Studie

      

17 You shall make a mercy seat of pure gold. Two and a half cubits shall be its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth.

18 You shall make two cherubim of hammered gold. You shall make them at the two ends of the mercy seat.

19 Make one cherub at the one end, and one cherub at the other end. You shall make the cherubim on its two ends of one piece with the mercy seat.

20 The cherubim shall spread out their wings upward, covering the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces toward one another. The faces of the cherubim shall be toward the mercy seat.

21 You shall put the mercy seat on top of the ark, and in the ark you shall put the testimony that I will give you.
