9725. 'All its vessels you shall make of bronze' means that they must all be formed from good. This is clear from the meaning of 'vessels' as known facts, dealt with immediately above in 9724, at this point all of them since it says 'all its vessels'; and from the meaning of 'bronze' as external or natural good, dealt with in 425, 1551.

693. Just as love to the Lord and towards the neighbour, and the resulting joy and happiness constitute heaven, so hatred against the Lord and against the neighbour, and the resulting punishment and torment constitute hell. There are countless genera of hatred, and even more countless species. And the hells are just as countless.
