10342. 'And the pure lampstand and all its vessels' means that which is representative of the truth springing from that good, and the things which assist it. This is clear from the meaning of 'the lampstand together with its lamps and branches' as that which is representative of the spiritual heaven, and of the faith and intelligence there which are derived from the Lord, and so of the truth springing from good, dealt with in 9548, 9551, 9555, 9558, 9561; and from the meaning of 'the vessels of the lampstand' as things which serve to purify and remove waste products, dealt with in 9572, and so things which are of service.
