10275. 'And the laver and its pedestal' means everything connected with purification from evils and falsities, and with regeneration by the Lord. This is clear from the meaning of 'the laver', in which washing takes place, as the means of purification from evils and falsities, and also of regeneration, dealt with in 10235; and from the meaning of 'its pedestal' as the level of the senses, providing support and acting as a servant, dealt with in 10236.
