726. 'And decked with gold and precious stone' signifies the spiritual Divine Good and Divine Truth that are of the Word, with them. By 'gold' is signified the good (n. 211), by 'precious stone' is signified the truth (n. 231, 540, 570) of the Word in each case. Spiritual good and truth is signified because by 'purple and scarlet' is signified celestial good and truth, and each of them in the Word is conjoined on account of the marriage of good and truth there (n. 373*). And celestial good and truth, because they are of love, are in their essence of good, while spiritual good and truth, because they are of wisdom, are in their essence truth. That celestial good and truth are of love, while spiritual good and truth are of wisdom, may be seen above (n. 725). What further is understood by the woman's having appeared clothed and adorned thus may be seen in the preceding paragraph. * The Original Edition has n. 106, clearly an error. Perhaps n. 373 was intended.
