Arcana Coelestia #2195
2195. 'And Sarah heard it at the tent door' means rational truth at that time close to holiness. ]his is clear from the representation of 'Sarah' as rational truth, dealt with in 2173, 2174, and also from the meaning of 'a tent' as holiness, dealt with in 414, 1102, 1566, 2145, and so from the meaning of 'tent door' as the entrance to holiness, and thus close to holiness, dealt with above in 2145. The implications of these matters follow next.
Leviticus 23:39-44
39
"'So on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the fruits of the land, you shall keep the feast of Yahweh seven days: on the first day shall be a solemn rest, and on the eighth day shall be a solemn rest.
40
You shall take on the first day the fruit of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and you shall rejoice before Yahweh your God seven days.
41
You shall keep it a feast to Yahweh seven days in the year: it is a statute forever throughout your generations; you shall keep it in the seventh month.
42
You shall dwell in booths seven days. All who are native-born in Israel shall dwell in booths,
43
that your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt. I am Yahweh your God.'"
44
