Arcana Coelestia #9488

Studere hoc loco

  
/ 10837  
  

9488. And a cubit and a half the breadth thereof. That this signifies full in respect to truth, is evident from the signification of “one and a half,” as being what is full. The reason why this number signifies what is full, is that “three” has this signification; for the half of a number signifies the like as double the number, because when a number is multiplied it retains the signification the simple number had before it was multiplied (see n. 5291, 5335). (That “three” denotes what is full, see n. 2788, 7718, 9188; and that all numbers in the Word signify real things, n. 482, 487, 575, 647, 648, 755, 813, 1963, 1988, 2075, 2252, 3252, 4264, 4495, 4670, 5265, 5291, 5335, 5708, 6175, 7973.) And from the signification of “breadth,” as being truth (of which just above, n. 9487).
