12 När du räknar antalet av Israels barn, nämligen av dem som inmönstras, skall vid mönstringen var och en giva åt HERREN en försoningsgåva för sig, på det att ingen hemsökelse må drabba dem vid mönstringen.

10191. 'And they shall serve as receptacles for the poles' means the power there of truth derived from good. This is clear from the meaning of 'receptacles' or rings, for these were the receptacles, as the Divine sphere, dealt with just above in 10188; and from the meaning of 'the poles' as the power of truth derived from good, dealt with in 9496.
