Arcana Coelestia (Potts) n. 9732

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

9732. And thou shalt make staves for the altar. That this signifies the power of keeping in a state of good, is evident from the signification of "staves," as being power (see n. 9496). That they denote the power to keep in a state of good, is because the staves belonged to the altar, and by the altar was represented the Lord and the worship of Him from the good of love.
