Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 5737

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

5737. 'And his silver for grain' means the truth of good. This is clear from the meaning of 'silver' as truth, dealt with in 1551, 2954, 5658, and from the meaning of 'grain' as good, dealt with in 5295, 5410. For interior or spiritual truth, which goes forth from the internal celestial represented by 'Joseph', is the truth of good. For what the truth of good is, see just above in 5737.
