At gagawa ka ng isang kandelerong taganas na ginto: yari sa pamukpok gagawin mo ang kandelero, ang tuntungan niyaon, at ang haligi niyaon; ang mga kopa niyaon, ang mga globito niyaon at ang mga bulaklak niyaon ay mga kaputol:
Exodo 25:31
Arcana Coelestia # 9456
9456. THE INTERNAL SENSE
Verses 1-2 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, Speak to the children of Israel, and let them take for Me an offering; from everyone whose heart is willing, 1 you are to take My offering. 'And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying' means instructions regarding the holy things of heaven which had to be represented. 'Speak to the children of Israel' means the representative Church. 'Let them take for Me an offering' means the interior things of worship which were going to be represented, which are the real requirements. 'From everyone whose heart is willing' means that all things should be offered out of love, and so in freedom. 'You are to take My offering' means the real requirements for worship.

Four
The number "four" in the Bible represents things being linked together or joined. This is partly because four is two times two, and two represents the ultimate linking between our desire to be good and our understanding of truth. We can also see this in the fact that most buildings are rectangular, with the four sides linking together to make a whole. We also divide directions into four -- north, east, south and west -- and talk about the "four corners" of something meaning all of it. So our special thinking naturally looks at four sides as linking together into a whole.
