240.“前后都长满了眼睛”表圣言中的神性智慧。“眼睛”在论及人时，表示认知，论及主时，则表示神性智慧（48，125节），在论及圣言时也一样，如此处，因为圣言出于主，论及主，因而就是主。以西结书论到基路伯时同样说，“它们都长满眼睛”（10:12）。“前后”当指向来自主的圣言时，表示圣言中的神性智慧与神性之爱。
240. Full of eyes in front and in back. This symbolizes the Divine wisdom in the Word.
When eyes are mentioned in application to people, they symbolize the intellect, but when they are mentioned in application to the Lord, they symbolize Divine wisdom (nos. 48, 125). So likewise in application to the Word, as in the present instance, because the Word comes from the Lord, and is about the Lord, and so embodies the Lord.
The same statement is made in reference to the cherubim in Ezekiel, that they were "full of eyes" (Ezekiel 10:12).
"In front and in back," when said of the Word given by the Lord, symbolizes the Divine wisdom and love present in it.
240. 'Full of eyes before and behind' signifies Divine Wisdom therein. By 'eyes,' when [said] concerning man, the understanding is signified, and when concerning the Lord, the Divine Wisdom (48, 125). In like manner, when [said] concerning the Word, as here, since the Word is from the Lord and concerning the Lord, and so is the Lord. The like is said concerning the cherubs in Ezekiel, that they 'were full of eyes' (chapter 10:12). [By] 'before and behind,' when [said] concerning the Word from the Lord, is signified the Divine Wisdom and Divine Love therein.

By "eyes," when spoken of man, is signified the understanding, and when of the Lord, the Divine wisdom, (48, 125); the same when said of the Word, as here, because the Word is from the Lord, and concerning the Lord, and thus is the Lord. The like is said of the cherubim in Ezekiel, that "they were full of eyes" (10:12). "Before and behind," when it relates to the Word from the Lord, signifies the Divine wisdom and Divine love therein.
240. "Plena oculis ante et retro," significat Divinam Sapientiam inibi. - Per "oculos," cum de homine, significatur intellectus, et cum de Domino Divina Sapientia (48, 125); Similiter cum de Verbo, ut hic, quia Verbum est a Domino, et de Domino, et sic Dominus. Simile de Cherubis apud Ezechielem dicitur, quod Pleni essent oculis, (10:12).
(per) "ante et retro," cum de Verbo a Domino, significatur Divina Sapientia et Divinus Amor inibi.
