16我们唯有借着经历才能领会,带着石榴和铃的长袍这预表的意义。首先我们看见,石榴和铃系于长袍的底边上,这指明它们与召会生活有关。……无论我们在召会里说什么,都必须是出于神圣的起源,出于神圣的源头。同时,我们也需要生命的丰满彰显在麻—人性里。所以,在召会里有生命的华美彰显在我们的人性里,也有神圣的声音从金铃而来;这些乃是正确召会生活的标记(出埃及记生命读经,一六五三至一六五六页)。
16By experience…we understand the significance of the typology of the long robe with pomegranates and bells. First we see that the pomegranates and bells are attached to the skirts of the long robe. This indicates that they are related to the church life…Whatever we speak in the church must be of divine origin, of the divine source. At the same time, we need the fullness of life expressed in linen, in humanity. Therefore, in the church we have the beauty of life expressed in our humanity and the divine sounding from the golden bells. These are signs of the proper church life. (Life-study of Exodus, pp. 1442-1444)
