9488.“宽一肘半”表就真理而言的完整或完全。这从“一肘半”的含义清楚可知，“一肘半”是指完整或完全之物。这个数字之所以表示完整或完全之物，是因为“三”具有这种含义；一个数字的一半与这整个数所表相同，因为当一个数字翻倍时，它仍保持翻倍之前简单数字所具有的含义（参看5291，5335节）。“三”表示完整或完全之物（参看2788，7718，9188节）；在圣言中，一切数字都表示真实事物（482，487，575，647，648，755，813，1963，1988，2075，2252，3252，4264，4495，4670，5265，5291，5335，5708，6175，7973节）。“宽”是指真理，如刚才所述（9487节）。
Potts(1905-1910) 9488
9488. And a cubit and a half the breadth thereof. That this signifies full in respect to truth, is evident from the signification of "one and a half," as being what is full. The reason why this number signifies what is full, is that "three" has this signification; for the half of a number signifies the like as double the number, because when a number is multiplied it retains the signification the simple number had before it was multiplied (see n. 5291, 5335). (That "three" denotes what is full, see n. 2788, 7718, 9188; and that all numbers in the Word signify real things, n. 482, 487, 575, 647, 648, 755, 813, 1963, 1988, 2075, 2252, 3252, 4264, 4495, 4670, 5265, 5291, 5335, 5708, 6175, 7973.) And from the signification of "breadth," as being truth (of which just above, n. 9487).
Elliott(1983-1999) 9488
9488. 'And a cubit and a half its breadth' means what is complete so far as truth is concerned. This is clear from the meaning of 'one and a half' as what is complete, the reason why this number means what is complete being that 'three' has this meaning (for the half of a number is similar in meaning to the whole number, because a number that results from multiplication keeps the same meaning as a simple number of which it is the product through multiplication, 5291, 5335. Regarding 'three', that it means what is complete, see 2788, 7715, 9198; and that all numbers in the Word mean spiritual realities, 482, 487, 575, 647, 648, 755, 813, 1963, 1988, 2075, 2252, 3252, 4264, 4495, 4670, 5265, 5291, 5335, 5708, 6175, 7973); and from the meaning of 'breadth' as truth, dealt with immediately above in 9487.
Latin(1748-1756) 9488
9488. `Ac cubitus et dimidius latidudo ejus': quod significet plenum quoad verum, constat ex significatione `unius et dimidii' quod sit plenum; quod is numerus significet plenum, est quia tria id significant, numerus enim dimidius simile significat cum suo duplo, quoniam numerus multiplicatus eandem significationem cum numero simplici a quo per multiplicationem exsurgit retinet, n. 5291, 5335; quod tria sint plenum, videatur n. 2788, (x)7715, 9198, et quod omnes numeri in Verbo significent res, n. 482, 487, 575, 647, 648, 755, 813, 1963, 1988, 2075, 2252, 3252, 4264, 4495, 4670, 5265, 5291, 5335, 5708, 6175, (a)7973; et ex significatione `latitudinis' quod sit verum, de qua mox supra n. 9487.
