1074、“帐棚中间”是指信的首要事物。这从“中间”和“帐棚”的含义清楚可知。在圣言中,“中间”表示至内在之物,而“帐棚”表示仁爱,或源于仁爱的敬拜。仁爱就是至内在之物,也就是信和敬拜的首要事物,因而是“帐棚中间”。前面已说明,“中间”表示至内在之物,“帐棚”表示爱的神圣,也就是仁爱(参看414节)。

[NCE]1074. The fact that the middle of the tent is the primary concern of one's faith can be seen from the symbolism of the middle and of a tent. In the Word, the middle symbolizes the deepest core, while a tent symbolizes neighborly love, or worship based on that love. Love for others is the core, that is, the primary concern, of faith and worship, which makes it the middle of the tent.
The symbolism of the middle as the deepest core has been demonstrated above [200, 225]. For the fact that a tent is the holiness of love, or charity, see above in 414.
Potts(1905-1910) 1074
1074. That "the midst of a tent" signifies the principal of faith, is evident from the signification of the "midst" and from that of a "tent." In the Word the "midst" signifies the inmost, and a "tent" charity, or worship from charity. Charity is the inmost, that is, is the principal of faith and of worship, and thus is "the midst of the tent." (That the "midst" signifies the inmost, has been shown before, and that a "tent" is the holy of love, that is, is charity, may be seen above, n. 414.)
Elliott(1983-1999) 1074
1074. 'The middle of the tent' is the chief thing of faith. This is clear from the meaning of 'the middle' and from the meaning of 'a tent'. In the Word 'the middle' means that which is inmost, and 'tent' charity, or worship deriving from charity. Charity is the inmost, that is, the chief thing of faith and worship, and so is 'the middle of the tent'. That 'the middle' means that which is inmost has been shown already, and that 'tent' means the holiness of love, which is charity, see what has appeared already in 414.
Latin(1748-1756) 1074
1074. Quod 'medium tentorii' sit principale fidei, constat ex significatione 'media et ex significatione 'tentorii'; 'medium' in Verbo significat intimum, et 'tentorium' charitatem seu cultum ex charitate; charitas est intimum, hoc est, principale fidei et cultus et sic 'medium tentorii'; quod medium significet intimum, ostensum est prius, et quod tentorium sit sanctum amoris seu charitas, videatur prius n. 414.
