Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 9853

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

9853. 'On the borders you shall make them' means at the most external parts through which influx comes. This is clear from the meaning of 'the borders' as the most external parts. The reason why these are the parts through which influx, the influx of good, comes is that coherence is meant by 'the small chains', 9852, and all coherence in the spiritual world is brought about by means of influx.
