60. Verse 31 And God saw everything that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning, a sixth day.

This verse says 'very good', whereas previous verses merely said 'good', for now the things of faith make one with those of love. A marriage has accordingly taken place between spiritual and celestial things.

9743. 'The hangings for the court' means the truths of that heaven. This is clear from the meaning of 'curtains' as truths, dealt with in 9595, 9596, thus also of 'hangings'; and from the meaning of 'the court' as the lowest heaven, dealt with above in 9741.
