Heaven and Hell #198
198. We can see from this that even though there is space in heaven as there is in our world, nothing there is evaluated on the basis of space, but only on the basis of state. Also spaces there cannot be measured the way they can in our world, but only seen out of and in accordance with the state of their deeper natures. 1

1. [Swedenborg's footnote] In the Word, length means what is good: 1613, 9487. Breadth means what is true: 1613, 3433-3434, 4482, 9487, 10179. Height means what is good and true in respect to their level: 9489, 9773, 10181.
Arcana Coelestia #3433
3433. 'And he called the name of it Rehoboth' means the essential nature of the truth from there. This is clear from the meaning of 'calling the name' as the essential nature, dealt with in 144, 145, 1754, 1896, 2009, 2724, 3006, 3421, and from the meaning of 'Rehoboth' as truths, for Rehoboth in the original language means broad places; and the fact that 'broad places' in the internal sense of the Word are truths, has been shown in 1613.
