493、“日”和“年”表示时间和状态，这一点无需进一步解释，只需在此说明一点：在世上，以数字来表达时间和度量是不可避免的，因为它们是自然界最具体的特征之一。但每当它们应用于圣言时，用于日、年，以及度量的数字均表示从时间或度量抽离出来的某种事物；所表示的事物决定了数字的含义，如：前面（395节）所说的六日劳碌，第七日神圣；禧年每四十九年宣布一次，并在第五十年庆祝（利未记25，27章）；以色列的支派是十二个，主的使徒也是十二个；有七十个长老，主的门徒也是七十个。其它例子还有许多，在那里，数字都有从它们所用于的人或物抽离出来的具体含义。当被如此抽离出来时，剩下的就是数字所表示的状态了。

[NCE]493. There is no need for me to linger any further over the symbolism of days and years as those times and states. I must only say here that in the world, the necessity for periods of time and units of measure, expressed in numbers, is unavoidable, since they are among the most concrete features of the natural world. But every time such terms are used, the number of days and years (and the numbers used in measurement) symbolize something abstracted from time (and measure). Just what is being symbolized depends on what the number is. This is true of the six days' labor and the holy seventh day, discussed above [395]. It is true of the jubilee that was proclaimed in the forty-ninth year of every cycle and celebrated in the fiftieth [Leviticus 25, 27]. It is true of the twelve tribes of Israel, matching the number of the Lord's apostles; of the seventy elders [Numbers 11:16, 24-25] and the equal number of the Lord's disciples [Luke 10:1]; and of many other phenomena. The numbers in these places symbolize some special quality, as distinguished from the objects to which they apply. Once the qualities are isolated, their various states are what the numbers symbolize.
Potts(1905-1910) 493
493. That by "days" and "years" are signified times and states needs no further explication, except to say that in the world there must needs be times and measures, to which numbers may be applied because they are in the ultimates of nature; but whenever they are applied in the Word, the numbers of the days and years, and also of the measures, have a signification abstractedly from the times and measures, in accordance with the signification of the number; as where it is said that there are six days of labor, and that the seventh is holy, of which above; that the jubilee should be proclaimed every forty-ninth year, and should be celebrated in the fiftieth; that the tribes of Israel were twelve, and the apostles of the Lord the same; that there were seventy elders, and as many disciples of the Lord; and so in many other instances where the numbers have a special signification abstractedly from the things to which they are applied; and when thus abstracted, then it is states that are signified by the numbers.
Elliott(1983-1999) 493
493. There is no need to pause too long over the consideration that 'days' and 'years mean periods of time and states. Only this need be stated here, that in the world periods of time and measurements to which numbers may be applied are indispensable, for they belong within the ultimate realms of nature. But whenever such application occurs, the numbers of days and years, and also the numbers applied to measurements, mean something which is completely different from periods of time or from measurements, and which is determined by the meaning of the number used, as in the statements about there being six days for work, and the seventh being holy, which are dealt with above; in the statement about a jubilee having to be announced every forty-ninth year and celebrated in the fiftieth; about the tribes of Israel being twelve, the same number as the Lord's Apostles; and about there being seventy elders, the same number as the Lord's disciples. And there are many other examples where the numbers mean some special characteristic completely different from the persons or objects to which they apply. And when completely separated one from the other the states meant by the numbers are then left.
Latin(1748-1756) 493
493. Quod per 'dies et annos' significentur tempora et status, non diutius immorandum est; solum hic dicendum quod in mundo non possint non esse tempora et mensurae quibus numeri applicentur quia in ultimis naturae; sed quoties applicantur, per numeros dierum et annorum, tum per numeros mensurarum, significatur aliqui abstracte a temporibus et mensuris secundum numeri significationem sicut quod sex dies laboris sint, et septimus sanctus, de quibus supra; quod jubilaeum quovis quadragesimo nono anno proclamaretur, et quinquagesimo celebraretur: quod tribus Israelis essent duodecim, quot apostoli Domini: quod septuaginta seniores, sicut totidem discipuli Domini: et perplura alia; ibi numeri sunt qui peculiare quoddam significant abstracte ab illis quibus applicati; cumque abstrahuntur, tunc sunt status qui per numeros significantur.
