Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 10403

10403. 'And bring them to me' means bringing together into a single whole. This is clear from the meaning of 'bringing to Aaron' as bringing into a single whole such things from the literal sense of the Word as are favourable to external forms of love and to the major ideas resulting from these. The fact that this is what is meant by 'bringing to Aaron the ear-jewels of gold on the ears of wives, sons, and daughters' is clear from what has been shown immediately above in 10402.
