9883. 'And put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate' means in the most external parts. This is clear from the meaning of 'the two rings' as a sphere of Divine Good, by which a joining together is accomplished, dealt with immediately above in 9882; from the meaning of 'the two ends' as the last or most external parts; and from the meaning of 'the breastplate' as a representative sign of heaven, dealt with above in 9879. From these meanings it is evident that 'you shall put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate' means a joining to the sphere of Divine Good in the most external parts of heaven.
