Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 9947

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

9947. 'You shall make tunics' means the things that belong to faith [there]. This is clear from the meaning of 'tunic', when Aaron is the subject, as Divine Truth in the spiritual kingdom inmostly, thus truth that emanates directly from the celestial, dealt with in 9826, 9942. But when Aaron's sons are the subject 'tunic' means that which belongs to faith; for this is what emanates from the spiritual that comes from the celestial. And this emanation is what is called the faith of truth.
