Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 9893

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

9893. 'And put them on the two shoulders of the ephod, below' means the preservation of good and truth in the lowest part of heaven. This is clear from the meaning of 'putting onto the shoulders' as preserving with all exertion and power, as above in 9887. 'Below' there means the lowest part of heaven, where good and truth exist in a natural form, see just above in 9891.
