10190. 'You shall make [them] on its two sides' means with good lying in the other, that is to say, a joining together with it and preservation by means of it. This is clear from what has been stated and shown immediately above in 10189. From what has been stated there it may also be seen what the surrounding Divine sphere is like, namely that it is a sphere of the good of love derived from the Lord as the sun, extending from the east through to the west, and a sphere of truth springing from good, extending from the south to the north. Thus the sphere of Divine Good in the middle is a kind of axis, with a sphere of Divine Truth emanating from that Good on both sides, on the right and on the left.
