9875. 'And the stones shall be according to the names of the sons of Israel' means forms of good and truths arranged distinctly and separately in accord with their entire essential nature. This is clear from the meaning of 'the stones' as forms of good and truths arranged distinctly and separately, for each stone means some distinct form of good or truth, see what has been shown in 9865-9872; and from the meaning of 'the names of the sons of Israel' as the same forms of good and truths arranged in accord with their entire essential nature, dealt with in 9842, 9843.
