Rings of gold

  

In Exodus 26:6, rings, taches, or clasps of gold signify the ability to use good loves to join things together. The gold stands for inner, pure loves for good. (Arcana Coelestia 9624)

Some English translations of the Word use the terms clasps, or taches of gold, and indeed Swedenborg's description of the inner meaning seems to include the idea of clasping, attaching, or joining.

Later in the story, when bronze clasps are mentioned, they mean more external -- though still good -- loves.

Bars

  

In Exodus 26:26, this signifies the power of truth from good, as found in the good of merit, which is the Lord's alone. (Arcana Coelestia 9662)

In Exodus 26:28, this signifies the power of truth looking toward the interiors which are in light and also to the exteriors where truth is obscure. (Arcana Coelestia 9663, 9664)

In Exodus 26:29, this signifies the primary power of good from which all other powers are extended. (Arcana Coelestia 9666)
