4508. And all their wealth. That this signifies all the matters of knowledge they had acquired, is evident from the signification of "wealth," as being matters of knowledge, as is evident from many passages in the Word; for spiritual wealth, thus wealth understood in a spiritual sense, is nothing else. Insofar as spiritual wealth consists in what is known, it consists in matters of knowledge; and in the Lord's kingdom (and therefore in the church) these constitute the wealth, as of the Lord's Divine mercy will be confirmed from the Word elsewhere.
