9737.“用以抬坛”表产生并保持存在。这从“抬”的含义清楚可知，“抬”是指保持在一个良善和真理的状态中，因而是指产生并保持存在（参看9500节）。在以赛亚书，“抱”（译注：与抬相同，carried）具有同样的含义：
雅各家、以色列家一切余剩的哪，要细听，你们自出母腹，就蒙我抱。直到你们年老，我仍这样；直到你们发白，我仍抱着你们。我已造作，也必抱着，我必怀搋。（以赛亚书46:3，4）
此处“造作”表示使它可以产生，“抱着”表示使它可以持续存在，“怀搋”表示使它可以不断产生。

9737. In carrying it. That this signifies coming-forth and subsistence, is evident from the signification of "to carry," as being to keep in a state of good and of truth, thus to come forth and subsist (see n. 9500). The same is signified by "carrying" in Isaiah:
Attend unto Me, O house of Jacob, and all the remains of the house of Israel, which I have carried from the womb; and even to old age, I am the same, and even to hoar hairs will I carry you; I have made, and I will carry, and I will bear (Isa. 46:3, 4);
where "to make" denotes that it may come-forth; "to carry," that it may subsist; and "to bear," that it may come-forth perpetually.

9737. 'When it is carried' means bringing into being and keeping in being. This is clear from the meaning of 'carrying' as holding in a state of goodness and truth, thus bringing into being and keeping in being, dealt with in 9500. 'Carrying' has a similar meaning in Isaiah,
Hearken to Me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel who have been carried from the womb. Even to [your] old age I am the Same, and even to grey hair I will carry [you]; I have made, and I will carry, and I will bear. Isa 46:3, 4.
Here 'making' stands for, that it may come into being; 'carrying', that it may continue in being; and 'bearing', that it may unceasingly go on coming into being.
