9567. 'Their pomegranates and their branches shall be of one piece with it, all [shall be part] of it' means that the factual knowledge of good and the powers must spring from the Divine Spiritual, which comes from the Lord. This is clear from the meaning of 'pomegranates' as factual knowledge of good, dealt with in 9552; from the meaning of 'branches' as truths derived from good, and consequently powers, also dealt with above, in 9555, 9558; and from the meaning of the lampstand, which they 'shall be of one piece with', as the Divine Spiritual from the Lord in heaven and in the Church, dealt with in 9548. From these meanings it is evident that 'the pomegranates and the flowers shall be of one piece with the lampstand' means that the factual knowledge of good and the powers must spring from the Divine Spiritual, which comes from the Lord. What all this implies, see immediately below.

In Exodus 28:37, this signifies the truth of celestial love. (Arcana Coelestia 9933)

In Exodus 26:31, 36, this signifies intelligence from the affection of spiritual love. (Apocalypse Revealed 450) Blue and purple signify celestial goods and truths, and scarlet double-dyed and fine-twined linen signify spiritual goods and truths. (Exodus 28:33)
