' The Logos which appeared in the visible scene as the intellectual bond knitting all created things into one whole of thought, might enter likewise into relations with humanity. It appeared in Abraham as the representative of divine wisdom, in Moses as the prophet, in Aaron as the high- priest. The patriarchal histories related in Genesis were thus resolved in Philo's hands into a series of allegories and types. The real world was above, where dwelt the ideal realities of our world of sense. N...oteworthy, for instance, was the symboHsm of the high-priest's robes in connexion with the service of the tabernacle, of which Moses had beheld the pattern on the mount. The dwelling prepared for the Father and Ruler THE FOURTH GOSPEL I49 of the world must typify in its parts and arrange- ments the universe itself. So the seven-branched candlestick represented the seven heavens of the sun, moon, and five planets, while the altar of incense was the emblem of the earth. The robes of the high-priest received a similar interpretation, with the remarkable explanation * that whenever he enters the temple to offer up the prayers and sacrifices in use among his nation, all the world may likewise enter in with him by means of the imitation of it which he bears about him.
