9563. Four almond-shaped cups. That this signifies the memory-knowledges of truth from good, is evident from the signification of “four,” as being conjunction (see n. 8877); and from the signification of “almond-shaped cups,” as being memory-knowledges from good (of which above, n. 9557).

9557. Three almond-shaped cups. That this signifies full in respect to memory-knowledges from good, is evident from the signification of “three,” as being what is full (see just above, n. 9556); from the signification of “cups,” as being memory-truths that are from the good of charity (n. 5120); and from the signification of “almonds,” as being the goods of life that correspond to the truths of interior natural good (n. 5622). From this it is evident that by “three almond-shaped cups” is signified what is full in respect to memory-truths from good.
