Arcana Coelestia # 5214
5214. 'And behold, seven heads, thin' means facts that are useless. This is clear from the meaning of heads' as facts, dealt with above in 5212, and from the meaning of 'thin' as ones that are useless. For thin is the opposite of full, and the expression full is used to refer to what has a use, or what amounts to the same, what is good; for everything good has a use to serve. Consequently 'thin' describes that which is useless. Useless facts are those which have no other end in view than personal glory and pleasure. Such ends are useless because they do not benefit one's neighbour.
Numbers 11:31-35
31
A wind from Yahweh went out and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, about a day's journey on this side, and a day's journey on the other side, around the camp, and about two cubits above the surface of the earth.
32
The people rose up all that day, and all the night, and all the next day, and gathered the quails. He who gathered least gathered ten homers; and they spread them all abroad for themselves around the camp.
33
While the flesh was yet between their teeth, before it was chewed, the anger of Yahweh was kindled against the people, and Yahweh struck the people with a very great plague.
34
The name of that place was called Kibroth Hattaavah, because there they buried the people who lusted.
35
From Kibroth Hattaavah the people traveled to Hazeroth; and they stayed at Hazeroth.
