9627. 'And the additional part that trails backwards in the curtains of the tent' means an extension. This is clear from the meaning of 'the additional part trailing backwards' as an extension, dealt with below; and from the meaning of 'the curtains of the tent' as the truths derived from external celestial good which constitute the external part of heaven, meant by 'the tent', 9615. 'The additional part that trails backwards from the curtains' means an extension because that part extends as a continuation from the curtains when these have been spread out.
