“帐幕的门帘” 是指将第二层或中间天堂与第一层或最低层天堂相联结的媒介, 如前所述 (9686节);

“五” 是指部分或在某种程度上存在之物 (4638节), 也指足量;

“柱子” 是指支撑 (9674节);

“皂荚木” 是指唯独属于主的功德良善 (9472, 9486节), 因而是指祂的神性人身, 因为功德属于这人身 (9486节).

Generally, when the Bible describes something as "pleasant" or "desirable," it is talking about true ideas and concepts, things of the intellect. A good example is in Genesis 49:15, where Jacob is prophesying about his son Issachar: "And he saw that rest was good, and the land that it was pleasant..." Here "rest was good" refers to celestial things, or things led by love of the Lord; "the land that it was pleasant" refers to spiritual things, or things led by the understanding of what is true.
