9887.“安在以弗得的肩带上”表以这种方式给予天堂的支撑，以及用一切努力和能力对那里的良善和真理的保存。这从“安在以弗得的肩带上”的含义清楚可知，“安在以弗得的肩带上”是指给予众天堂里的良善和真理的支撑和保存。关于这种支撑，可参看刚才9886节；关于用一切努力和能力进行的保存，可参看9836节。之所以表示通过从主发出的神性给予天堂的支撑，以及对那里的良善和真理的保存，是因为用细绳系到以弗得的肩带上，由此得到支撑的“胸牌”表示从主的神性良善发出的神性真理（9823节），因而表示整体上构成天堂的一切良善和真理（9879节）。

9887. And shalt put them on the shoulders of the ephod. That this signifies in this way the support of heaven, and the preservation of good and truth there with all exertion and power, is evident from the signification of "putting on the shoulders of the ephod," as being the support and preservation of good and truth in the heavens. (That it denotes support, see just above, n. 9886; and that it denotes preservation with all exertion and power, n. 9836.) That it denotes the support of heaven by means of the Divine that proceeds from the Lord, and also the preservation of good and truth there, is because by "the breastplate," which was fastened by the cords to the shoulderpieces of the ephod, and thereby supported, is signified the Divine truth that proceeds from the Lord's Divine good (n. 9823), thus all the goods and truths in the complex which make heaven (n. 9879).
Elliott(1983-1999) 9887
9887. 'And put them onto the shoulders of the ephod' means the support given thereby to heaven, and the preservation of the good and truth there by all exertion and power. This is clear from the meaning of 'putting onto the shoulders of the ephod' as the support given to good and truth in the heavens, and the preservation of them. Regarding that support, see immediately above in 9886; and regarding that preservation by all exertion and power, 9836. The reason why the support given to heaven by means of the Divine emanating from the Lord and also the preservation of the good and truth there are meant is that 'the breastplate', which was tied to the shoulder-pieces of the ephod by means of the slender ropes, and thereby supported, means the Divine Truth emanating from the Lord's Divine Good, 9823, and so means all the forms of good and the truths in their entirety which make heaven, 9879.
