CONTENTS

This chapter describes the offerings for the tent, for the tables there, and also for Aaron's garments. It then goes on to give the directions for making the ark, the table for the loaves [of the Presence], and the lampstand, which were to represent the heavens, where the Lord is, and all the celestial and spiritual realities which are from the Lord there. The dwelling-place itself represented heaven, the ark there represented the inmost heaven, and the Testimony or the law within the ark represented the Lord; the loaves of the Presence on the table together with the lampstand represented the celestial realities from the Lord, and Aaron's garments represented the spiritual realities from Him, in the heavens.
