Arcana Coelestia #9880

9880. 'With the work of slender rope' means an indissoluble joining together. This is clear from the meaning of 'slender rope' as a joining together, dealt with above in 9854. The reason why an indissoluble joining together is meant is that a slender rope made from twisted and intertwined work, as is evident from the original language in which a cord such as this is called slender rope. What is made from twisted and intertwined work means in the spiritual sense something indissoluble.
