And for Aaron's sons thou shalt make tunics, and thou shalt make for them belts, and headtires shalt thou make for them, for glory and for adornment ( Exod. Thou shalt make for Aaron a tunic of fine linen, and a miter of fine linen, and thou shalt make a belt, the work of the embroiderer. The garments in which Aaron and his sons were clothed are thus described in Moses:. So also when the Lord was transfigured before Peter, James, and John, the Divine good appeared as the sun, and the Divine truth was presented as raiment which appeared as the light ( Matt.

That a tunic is the truth of the natural was said above (AC 3301), but as it was not there shown, I may now confirm it here from other passages in the Word. Hence it is evident what is signified by the colors from that light, namely, qualities of truth, thus its appearances, and that they appear from the affections of good and truth. The colors seen in the other life are from the variation of the light there, and are so to speak modifications of intelligence and wisdom for the light which appears there is from the Divine truth that is from the Lord, or is the Divine spiritual from, Him, or what is the same, is Divine intelligence and wisdom, which appears as light before the eyes of angels and spirits. ![]() Tthe signification of a tunic is the truth of the natural, of which hereafter and the signification of various colors is the appearance of truth by which the spiritual of the natural is known and distinguished, That these are signified by various colors cannot be known by anyone unless be knows that colors appear in the other life equally as in the world- colors which in beauty and variety far surpass those in this world and unless he knows what is the source of these colors.
