Arcana Coelestia (Potts) n. 9947

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

9947. Thou shalt make tunics. That this signifies the things which are of faith there, is evident from the signification of a "tunic," when said of Aaron, as being Divine truth inmostly in the spiritual kingdom, thus that which proceeds immediately from the celestial (see n. 9826, 9942); but when it is said of Aaron's sons, the "tunic" denotes that which is of faith, for it denotes that which proceeds from the spiritual which is from the celestial. This proceeding is what is called "the faith of truth."
