9622. 'And you shall double over the sixth curtain at the forefront of the tent' means the communication of all the realities of that heaven with the outermost parts there, and influx from these into the lowest heaven. This is clear from the fact that the doubling over of that curtain was an extension above the end of the dwelling-place. For these curtains and the extension of them represented heaven in respect of communication and influx, and therefore the doubling over and extension of the sixth curtain above the end of the dwelling-place represented the communication of all the realities of that heaven with the outermost parts there, and influx from these into the lowest heaven.
