9663. Five for the planks of the one side of the Habitation. That this signifies whereby it looks toward the interiors of heaven where truth is in light, is evident from the signification of “five,” as being all things of that part (n. 9604); from the signification of “planks,” as being the goods which support (n. 9634); and from the signification of “the side of the Habitation,” as being the quarter of heaven which is looked to; for the “Habitation” denotes heaven (n. 9594); and “the side” denotes the quarter which is looked to. That it signifies toward the interiors where truth is in light, thus toward the south, is because the same things are said three times, and the third or last time, it is said “at the two legs toward the sea;” and three sides are mentioned, the first to the south (verse 18), the second to the north (verse 20), and the third to the sea (verse 22). (That “to the south” denotes to the interiors where truth is in light, see n. 9642; and that “to the north” denotes toward the exteriors where truth is in obscurity, see n. 9648; and that “to the sea” denotes where good is in obscurity, n. 9653)
