9843. 'Six of their names on one stone' means the entire essential nature of truths springing from good. This is clear from the meaning of the number 'six' as all, dealt with in 3960(end), 7973, 8148, at this point all the truths that spring from good, dealt with below; from the meaning of 'the names' as the essential nature, as immediately above in 9842; and from the meaning of 'on the stone' as being imprinted on the memory, also dealt with above, in 9841. The reason why all the truths springing from good are meant is that there were two stones on which the names of the sons of Israel were engraved. One stone went on the right shoulder and the other on the left shoulder, and things that exist on a person's right side correspond to the good from which truths spring, or to truths that spring from good, and those on a person's left side to truths through which good comes, see 9604 (end), 9736. Thus the names of the sons of Israel engraved on the stone that went on the right shoulder meant truths springing from good, and those on the one that went on the left meant truths through which good comes.

9842. 'And engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel' means on which the truths and forms of good that belong to the spiritual kingdom - the entire essential nature of them - have been imprinted. This is clear from the meaning of 'engraving on stones' as imprinting on the memory, dealt with immediately above in 9841; from the meaning of 'the names' as the essential nature, dealt with in 144, 145, 1754, 1896, 2009, 6674; and from the representation of 'the sons of Israel' as all the truths and forms of good that belong to the spiritual kingdom. 'The sons of Israel' here is used to denote the twelve tribes, for it was these - the names of the tribes - that were engraved on those stones, and the twelve tribes mean all the truths and forms of good in their entirety, 3858, 3926, 3939, 4060, 6335, 6337. And since these are what constitute the Church or heaven, the Church and the Lord's spiritual kingdom are meant by 'the sons of Israel', 4286, 6426, 6637, 7836, 7891, 7996, 7997, 9340. From all this it is evident that 'you shall engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel' means an imprinting on the memory of the entire essential nature of the truths and forms of good that belong to the spiritual kingdom, or an imprinting of the truths and forms of good of that kingdom as to their entire essential nature.
