2 Mose 28:35

Study

       

35 Und Aaron soll ihn anhaben, wenn er dient, daß man seinen Klang höre, wenn er aus und eingeht in das Heilige vor dem HERRN, auf daß er nicht sterbe.

Arcana Coelestia #9909

9909. 'Over his heart before Jehovah continually' means for evermore shining forth from good. This is clear from the meaning of 'heart' as the good of love, dealt with in 3313, 3635, 3883-3896, 7542, 9050; and from the meaning of 'continually' as for evermore. Shining forth is meant because the breastplate was over the heart, and 'the breastplate' means Divine Truth shining forth from the Lord's Divine good, 9823.
