Arcana Coelestia #9943
9943. 'And you shall make the turban of fine linen' means the wisdom there. This is clear from the meaning of 'the turban' as intelligence and - when it has reference to the Lord, represented here by Aaron - as wisdom, dealt with in 9827; and from the meaning of 'fine linen' as truth from a celestial origin, dealt with in 9469, for from such truth wisdom, meant here by 'the turban', is derived. All wisdom and intelligence springs from Divine Truth emanating from the Lord's Divine Good. No other wisdom and intelligence that is real wisdom and intelligence can exist, because none can arise from any other source. Intelligence consists in coming to know and understand God's truths, and afterwards believing in them, while wisdom consists in willing and loving them, and consequently living in accordance with them.
Leviticus 10:1-5
1
Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer, and put fire in it, and laid incense on it, and offered strange fire before Yahweh, which he had not commanded them.
2
And fire came forth from before Yahweh, and devoured them, and they died before Yahweh.
3
Then Moses said to Aaron, "This is what Yahweh spoke of, saying, 'I will show myself holy to those who come near me, and before all the people I will be glorified.'" Aaron held his peace.
4
Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said to them, "Draw near, carry your brothers from before the sanctuary out of the camp."
5
So they drew near, and carried them in their coats out of the camp, as Moses had said.
