9601.“宽四肘”表真理与良善的婚姻。这从“宽”和“四”的含义清楚可知:“宽”是指真理(参看1613,3433,3434,4482,9487节);“四”是指结合,因而指婚姻,因为真理与良善的结合被称为天上的婚姻(2173,2618,2728,2729,2803节)。“4”表示结合或婚姻,是因为这个数字是2和2的乘积,“2”表示结合(5194,8423节);还因为相乘得来的数具有和构成它们的简单数一样的含义,如刚才所述(9600节)。在圣言中,一切数字都表示真实事物(参看9488节所提到的地方)。
Potts(1905-1910) 9601
9601. And the breadth four cubits. That this signifies the marriage of truth with good, is evident from the signification of "breadth," as being truth (see n. 1613, 3433, 3434, 4482, 9487); and from the signification of "four," as being conjunction, thus marriage, for the conjunction of truth and good is called the heavenly marriage (n. 2173, 2618, 2728, 2729, 2803). "Four" denotes conjunction or marriage because this number arises from two multiplied by itself, and "two" denotes conjunction (n. 5194, 8423); and because multiplied numbers have a similar signification to that of the simple numbers of which they are compounded (as was said just above, n. 9600). (That all numbers in the Word signify real things, may be seen in the passages cited in n. 9488.)
Elliott(1983-1999) 9601
9601. 'And the breadth four cubits' means the marriage of truth to good. This is clear from the meaning of 'the breadth' as truth, dealt with in 1613, 3433, 3434, 4482, 9487; and from the meaning of 'four' as a joining together, dealt with in 1686, 8877, and so a marriage since truth and good joined together is called the heavenly marriage, 2173, 2618, 2728, 2729, 2803. 'Four' means a joining together or a marriage because this number is the product of two multipled by itself, and 'two' means a joining together, 5194, 8423, multiple numbers being similar in meaning to the simple ones that are their factors, as stated immediately above in 9600. All numbers in the Word mean spiritual realities, see the places referred to in 9488.
Latin(1748-1756) 9601
9601. `Et latitudo quattuor in cubito': quod significet conjugium veri cum bono, constat ex significatione `latitudinis' quod sit verum. de qua n. 1613, 3433, 3434, 4482, 9487, et ex significatione `quattuor' quod sint conjunctio, de qua n. 1686, 8877, ita conjugium, nam conjunctio veri et boni dicitur conjugium caeleste, n. 2173, 2618, 2728: 2729, 2803. Quod quattuor sint conjunctio seu conjugium, est quia is numerus ex duobus in se multiplicatis {1}existit, et duo sunt conjunctio. n. 5194, 8423; (c)et numeri multiplicati simile cum simplicibus ex quibus sunt significant, {2}ut mox supra n. 9600 dictum est; quod omnes numeri in Verbo significent res, videatur {3}in locis n. 9488 citatis. @1 exsurgit before ex duobus$ @2 Before numeri$ @3 ex locis citatis, n 9488$
