9884. 'And you shall put the two slender ropes of gold in the two rings' means the mode of the indissoluble joining together. This is clear from the meaning of 'the slender ropes' as an indissoluble joining together, dealt with above in 9880; from the meaning of 'gold' as the good of love, also dealt with above, in 9881; and from the meaning of 'the two rings' as a Divine sphere through which a joining together is accomplished, also dealt with above in 9881, the mode of the joining together being meant however by 'putting them in the two rings'. From all this it is evident that 'you shall put the two slender ropes of gold in the two rings' means the mode of the indissoluble joining of good to the Divine sphere.
