This is clear from the meaning of 'a cubit' or one, as somewhat, since it is a half of the previous number, and when a double means all, the half of it means somewhat, and therefore somewhat so far as the joining together is concerned; and from the meaning of 'breadth' as truth, dealt with in 9487, 9488.
Goats, as in Leviticus 16:21, 22, signify faith. Because man is regenerated by the Lord by the truth of faith, and consequently, his sins are removed and cast into hell, therefore it is said that "Aaron made the goat bear upon him all the iniquities of the children of Israel unto the land of separation, or into the wilderness." From correspondences, a goat signifies the natural man. The goat which was sacrificed, as in Leviticus 16:5-10, signifies the natural man regarding a part purified, and the goat which was sent into the wilderness regarding the natural man not purified.
