Vers 31. Denn der Mensch soll im Fortschritt der Wiedergeburt nicht aus selbstsüchtigen und weltlichen Motiven handeln, und das gilt sowohl für den äußeren als auch für den inneren Menschen und auch für jeden besonderen Zustand.

9745. 'A hundred cubits the length' means complete with good from the Lord. This is clear from the meaning of 'a hundred' as all, much, and what is complete, dealt with below; and from the meaning of 'the length' as good, dealt with in 1613, 9487. The reason why it is good from the Lord is that the good of faith - by which those in the lowest heaven, represented by the court of the dwelling-place, are governed - originates in the Lord. 'A hundred' means all, much, and what is complete because it carries the same meanings as ten, a thousand, and ten thousand. As regards these latter numbers, that they have such meanings, see 2575, 3107, 4638, 8715; and as regards a hundred, 2636, 4400.
