651. Verse 16. A window shalt thou make to the ark, and to a cubit shalt thou finish it from above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lowest, second, and third stories shalt thou make it. By the “window” which was to be finished “to a cubit from above” is signified the intellectual part; by the “door at the side” is signified hearing; by the “lowest, second, and third stories” are signified the things of knowledge, of reason, and of understanding [scientifica, rationalia, et intellectualia].
