9850. 'And Aaron shall bear their names before Jehovah on his two shoulders for remembrance' means a representative sign of the Divine preservation of good and truth for evermore, out of mercy. This is clear from the meaning of 'bearing (or carrying) on two shoulders' as the Divine preservation of good and truth, dealt with in 9836; from the meaning of 'the names of the sons of Israel' as forms of good and truths, the entire essential nature of them, dealt with in 9842; and from the meaning of 'remembrance', when attributed to the Lord, as mercy, dealt with immediately above in 9849. The fact that a representative sign of such things is meant is self-evident.
