9876. Twelve, upon their names. That this signifies each and all things in the complex, is evident from the signification of “twelve,” as being all (see n. 3272, 3858, 3913, 7973); and from the signification of “the names of the sons of Israel,” as being goods and truths in the complex in respect to every quality (n. 9875).

9875. And the stones shall be upon the names of the sons of Israel. That this signifies the goods and truths distinctively in respect to every quality, is evident from the signification of “the stones,” as being the goods and truths distinctively (for each stone signifies some good and truth distinctively, as may be seen above, n. 9865-9872); and from the signification of “the names of the sons of Israel,” as being the same goods and truths in respect to every quality (n. 9842, 9843).
