Arcana Coelestia #9658
9658. 'Thus it shall be for them both; at the two corners they shall be' means a like joining together everywhere. This is clear from the meaning of 'both', or the two, as a joining together, dealt with above in 9655. Since things were to be the same at both corners, a like joining together everywhere is meant. For the paired boards at the two corners faced all four quarters - this was how the two legs at the corners were assembled - and to face all four quarters is to look everywhere. And since things were to be alike at both, a like joining together everywhere is meant.
Genesis 17:12
12
He who is eight days old will be circumcised among you, every male throughout your generations, he who is born in the house, or bought with money from any foreigner who is not of your seed.
