9641. 'And you shall make twenty boards for the dwelling-place' means good lending support to heaven in every respect and totally. This is clear from the meaning of 'the boards of the dwelling-place' as good lending support to heaven, dealt with in 9634; and from the meaning of 'twenty' as what is complete, thus what exists in every respect and totally. This is what 'twenty' means because multiple numbers have the same meaning as the simple ones of which they are the products, 5291, 5335, 5708, 7973, so that the number 'twenty' has the same meaning as ten and two which when multiplied together produce that number. For the meaning of 'ten' as that which is complete, and all, see 3107, 4638, and likewise 'two', 9103, 9166.
