9647. 'And two bases under one board for its two hands' means thus in every single part. This is clear from the consideration that there were to be such bases and hands or tenons situated at the end of each board. This being what the repetition of the same words implies, they mean that it should be so in every single part. It should be remembered that the essential nature of the good and its truths is the same in every detail of a person's mind and of an angel's as it is in the general whole, 920, 1040, 1316, 4345, thus is the same in every single part.
