9614. Verses 7-14. And thou shalt make curtains of goats’ [hair] for a Tent over the Habitation, eleven curtains shalt thou make them. The length of one curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the breadth four cubits, for one curtain; one measure for the eleven curtains. And thou shalt join together five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves, and shalt double the sixth curtain over against the faces of the Tent. And thou shalt make fifty loops upon the edge of the one uttermost curtain in the joining, and fifty loops upon the edge of the curtain of the second joining. And thou shalt make fifty hooks of brass, and thou shalt bring the hooks into the loops, and shalt join together the Tent, that it may be one. And that which superaboundeth over and above in the curtains of the Tent, the half of the curtain that is over and above thou shalt make to superabound over the hinder parts of the Habitation. And the cubit on the one side, and the cubit on the other side, in that which is over and above in the length of the curtains of the Tent, shall superabound over the sides of the Habitation on this side and on that, to cover it. And thou shalt make for the Tent a covering of skins of red rams, and a covering of badgers’ skins above. “And thou shalt make curtains of goats’ [hair] for a tent over the Habitation” signifies the external of heaven, which is from the truths that are from external celestial good; “eleven curtains shalt thou make them” signifies all the truths from which it is; “the length of one curtain shall be thirty cubits” signifies the fullness of truth from good; “and the breadth four cubits” signifies the marriage of truth with good; “for one curtain” signifies thus in each of the truths; “one measure for the eleven curtains” signifies a like state of the matter; “and thou shalt join together five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves” signifies the constant communication of truth with good, and of good with truth; “and shalt double the sixth curtain over against the faces of the Tent” signifies the communication of all who are of that heaven with the extremes there, and influx thence into the ultimate heaven; “and thou shalt make fifty loops upon the edge of the one uttermost curtain in the joining” signifies the complete conjunction of one sphere with the other; “and fifty loops upon the edge of the curtain of the second joining” signifies in like manner reciprocally; “and thou shalt make fifty hooks of brass” signifies a full capability of conjunction by external good; “and thou shalt bring the hooks into the loops” signifies the method of the conjunction; “and shalt join together the Tent, that it may be one” signifies the external of heaven thus altogether one; “and that which superaboundeth over and above in the curtains of the Tent” signifies that which proceeds; “the half of the curtain that is over and above, thou shalt make to superabound over the hinder parts of the Habitation” signifies to the ultimate of this heaven; “and the cubit on the one side, and the cubit on the other side, in that which is over and above in the length of the curtains of the Tent, shall superabound over the sides of the habitation, on this side and that, to cover it” signifies the method by which this ultimate proceeds from good, in order that heaven may be rendered safe; “and thou shalt make a covering for the Tent” signifies the circumference of this heaven; “of skins of red rams” signifies external truths from good; “and a covering of badgers’ skins above” signifies outside of these from external good.
