10333. And in graving of stone for filling. That this signifies to represent all things of faith that are of service to the good of love, is evident from the signification of the "graving of stone," as being a representative of all things of faith from love; for by the "graving of stone" is meant the graving of the stones in the breastplate, which were the Urim and Thummim, and by which were represented all things of faith and of love (n. 3858, 6335, 6640, 9823, 9863, 9865, 9868, 9873, 9905); and from the signification of "filling," as being to be of service to the good of love from which these things are; for the fillings therein were made in gold, and by "gold" is signified the good of love (n. 1551, 1552, 5658, 6914, 6917, 8932, 9490, 9874, 9881).
