9636. Ten cubits shall be the length of a plank. That this signifies this good the all in all, is evident from the signification of "ten," as being all (see n. 4638, 9595); and from the signification of "length," as being good (n. 1613, 8898, 9487, 9600), here the good which supports, which is the good of merit; for this is signified by the planks of the Habitation being made of shittim wood (n. 9635). That this good is the all in all of heaven, is because this good is the very Divine good which makes the heavens and sustains them (n. 9486); for the good which is with the angels is good itself, because all good is from the Lord; good from any other source is not good.
