5661. 'We do not know who put the silver in our pouches' means an absence of faith owing to ignorance of where truth present in the exterior natural came from. This is clear from the meaning of 'not knowing' in the spiritual sense as not believing, or an absence of faith; from the meaning of 'who put' as ignorance of where it came from; from the meaning of 'silver' as truth, dealt with in 5658; and from the meaning of 'a pouch' as the exterior natural, dealt with in 5497.
