9641. And thou shalt make the planks for the Habitation twenty. That this signifies good which supports heaven in every way and completely, is evident from the signification of “the planks of the Habitation,” as being the good which supports heaven (see n. 9634); and from the signification of “twenty,” as being what is full, thus in every way and completely. That “twenty” has this signification, is because numbers formed by multiplication have the same signification as the simple numbers from which they have been multiplied (n. 5291, 5335, 5708, 7973); thus the number “twenty” signifies the same as “ten,” and “two,” from the multiplication of which it arises. (That “ten” denotes what is full, and all, see n. 3107, 4638; and in like manner “two,” n. 9103, 9166)

3107. Ten of gold their weight. That this signifies what is full for initiation, is evident from the signification of “ten,” as being a full state, like a “hundred” (see n. 1988, 2636); and from the signification of “gold,” which is here a kind of coin from the weight of which the valuation was made; and from the signification of “weight,” as being the state of a thing as to good (see above, n. 3104). Hence it is evident that “ten of gold their weight” signifies a full state of what is estimated, as to good. That it is for initiation, is evident from the several particulars in this chapter in which initiation is treated of, that is, betrothal.
