10025. At the door of the Tent of meeting. That this signifies that there may be conjunction of these, is evident from the signification of "the door of the Tent of meeting," as being the conjunction of truth and good, which is called the heavenly marriage (of which above, n. 10001). As this is signified by "the door of the Tent of meeting," therefore it was decreed that if the animal offered was slain elsewhere, blood should be imputed, and that soul should be cut off from his peoples (Lev. 17:3, 4, 8, 9); the reason was that then the conjunction of good and truth, thus the heavenly marriage, was not represented; but the conjunction of evil and falsity, which is the infernal marriage.
