9819. 'And they shall make Aaron's garments' means through whom the spiritual kingdom exists. This is clear from the meaning of 'Aaron's garments' as a representative sign of the Lord's spiritual kingdom lying adjacent to His celestial kingdom, dealt with above in 9814. The reason why the wise at heart, filled with the spirit of wisdom, were to make those garments is that by these people those in the celestial kingdom are meant, and the spiritual kingdom is what springs from and so what covers that celestial kingdom like a garment next to the body, as also becomes clear from the things that have been stated in 9818.

7206. 'And with great judgements' means in accordance with the laws of order that spring from the Lord's Divine Human. This is clear from the meaning of 'judgements' as truths, dealt with in 1235, 6797, and in the highest sense, in which that word is used in reference to the Lord, as Divine truths, truths which are nothing other than the laws of order that spring from the Lord's Divine Human. For He is the origin of all order and so of all the laws of order. Those laws form the structure for the whole of heaven, consequently for the universe also. The laws of order or truths, which emanate from the Lord, forming the structure of the whole of heaven and of the universe, are what are called, in John 1:1-3, the Word by which all things were made; for the Word is Divine Truth emanating from the Divine Good of the Lord's Divine Human. This means that all things in the spiritual world and also in the natural world have a connection with truth, as anyone who stops to reflect may recognize.

[2] In the proximate sense here the expression 'great judgements' is used to mean the truths in accordance with which those people will be judged who have molested others by introducing falsities, the ones meant by 'the Egyptians' and by 'Pharaoh'. The expression is also used to mean the truths in accordance with which those will be judged who will be released from molestations, the ones meant by 'the children of Israel'. By these judgements people steeped in falsities arising from evil are shown to be damned, and by these judgements people guided by truths arising from good are shown to be saved. Not that the truths which emanate from the Lord damn anyone, for all truths emanating from the Lord spring from His Divine Goodness, and so are nothing other than expressions of mercy. Rather, people expose themselves to damnation because they do not accept the Lord's mercy; for then they are governed by evils, and evils are damning. Nor do the truths emanating from the Lord save anyone if he believes that he is saved by virtue of the truths of faith present with him and not by mercy. For a person is full of evils and left to himself is in hell, but by the Lord's mercy he is withheld from evil and maintained in good, and with great force. The fact that both are meant by 'judgements', that is to say, both the damnation of those who are evil and the salvation of those who are good, is evident from those places in the Word where the last judgement is the subject, such as Matthew 25:31-45, and elsewhere.
