9758. 'And the breadth of the court on the east side, towards the sunrise' means the state of the truth of that heaven where forms of good reside. This is clear from the meaning of 'the breadth' as the state of truth, dealt with in 1613, 3433, 3434, 4482, 9487; from the meaning of 'the court' as the lowest heaven, dealt with above in 9741; and from the meaning of 'the east' and 'the sunrise' as the good of love, dealt with in 1250, 3249, 3708.
