9728. 'And on the net you shall make four rings of bronze' means the sphere of good by means of which a joining together is accomplished. This is clear from the meaning of 'the net' as the outermost level of life corresponding to the more internal level of life, which is that of the understanding and will, dealt with just above in 9726; from the meaning of 'four' as a joining together, dealt with in 1686, 8877, 9601, 9674; from the meaning of 'rings' as the sphere of Divine Good and Truth by means of which the joining together is accomplished, dealt with in 9498, 9501; and from the meaning of 'bronze' as good, as above in 9727.
