9555. 'And there shall be six branches going out of its sides' means all the capacities of truth derived from good in their entirety. This is clear from the meaning of 'six' as all in their entirety, dealt with in 3960 (end), 7973, 8148; and from the meaning of 'branches going out of the sides' as truths derived from good. For the branches out of the lampstand have a similar meaning to human arms and hands, because every single thing that exists in the natural order bears resemblance to the human form and for that reason has a spiritual meaning, 9496, 9553. The arms and hands on a person correspond to truths derived from good, and consequently to power, 878, 4931-4937, 5327, 5328, 6292, 6947, 7188, 7189, 7205, 7518, 7673, 8050, 8153, 8281, 9025, 9133. From all this it is evident that 'six branches going out of the sides' means all the capacities of truth derived from good in their entirety.
