Arcana Coelestia (Potts) n. 9883

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

9883. And thou shalt put the two rings on the two extremities of the breastplate. That this signifies in the extremes, is evident from the signification of "the two rings," as being the sphere of Divine good through which there is conjunction (of which just above, n. 9882); from the signification of "the two extremities," as being the ultimates or extremes; and from the signification of "the breastplate," as being a representative of heaven (n. 9879). From all this it is evident that by "putting the two rings on the two extremities of the breastplate" is signified the conjunction of the sphere of Divine good in the extremes of heaven.
