Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 10007

10007. 'And the breastplate' means Divine Truth shining forth from the Lord's Divine Good. This is clear from what has been shown regarding the breastplate in 9823, 9863-9873, 9905.a

Notes

a Sw. failed here to provide any explanation of the words you shall gird him with the girdle of the ephod. J.F.I. Tafel, editor of the second Latin edition, suggested - on the basis of what appears in 9828, 9944, 9948, 10005 - a wording that may be rendered a general bond holding all things of love and faith in connection and form within itself, in order that they may all have the same end in view.
