9941. Verses 39, 40. And thou shalt checker the tunic of fine linen, and thou shalt make a miter of fine linen, and a belt thou shalt make with the work of the embroiderer. And for Aaron's sons thou shalt make tunics, and thou shalt make for them belts; and tiaras shalt thou make for them, for glory and for comeliness. "And thou shalt checker the tunic of fine linen," signifies the inmost things of the spiritual kingdom that proceed from the truths of celestial love; "and thou shalt make a miter of fine linen," signifies the wisdom there; "and a belt," signifies a bond, and separation from the external things of this kingdom; "thou shalt make with the work of the embroiderer," signifies by means of the knowledges of good and truth; "and for Aaron's sons," signifies the Divine truths that proceed from the Lord's Divine good in the heavens; "thou shalt make tunics," signifies the things which are of faith there; "and thou shalt make for them belts," signifies a holding together in connection; "and tiaras shalt thou make for them," signifies the intelligence there; "for glory and for comeliness," signifies the truth of the spiritual church.
