Ezekiel 27:4
Arcana Coelestia # 9855
9855. 'And you shall put the small chains of slender rope in the sockets' means being joined to the good from which truths spring, and so the preservation of the spiritual kingdom by all exertion and power. This is clear from the meaning of 'small chains' made from the work 'of slender rope' as coherence with good and being joined to it, dealt with above in 9852, 9854; and from the meaning of 'the sockets of gold' as the good that brings truths into being and keeps them in being, also dealt with above, in 9847. The preservation of good and truth in the spiritual kingdom, or what amounts to the same thing, the preservation of the spiritual kingdom by all exertion and power, is meant by the two shoham stones placed on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, on which the names of the sons of Israel were engraved, 9836, 9848, 9849.
Exodus 25:10-16
10
And they shall make an ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof.
11
And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, within and without shalt thou overlay it, and shalt make upon it a crown of gold round about.
12
And thou shalt cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in the four corners thereof; and two rings shall be in the one side of it, and two rings in the other side of it.
13
And thou shalt make staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold.
14
And thou shalt put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, that the ark may be borne with them.
15
The staves shall be in the rings of the ark: they shall not be taken from it.
16
And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee.
