Arcana Coelestia # 6121
6121. Give your cattle; and I will give you [in exchange] for your cattle. That this signifies that they should bring forward the goods of truth and they would be sustained, is evident from the signification of “cattle,” as being the goods of truth (n. 6016, 6045); and from the signification of “giving [in exchange] for them,” namely, bread, as being the sustenance of the spiritual life (of which above, see n. 6118).
Arcana Coelestia # 6045
6045. For they are men of cattle. That this signifies that they have good from truths, is evident from the signification of “cattle,” as being the good of truth, or good from truths (see n. 6016). This is said of the sons of Israel, who are spiritual truths in the natural (n. 5414, 5879); thus it is said of truths, here that they lead to good (of which just above, n. 6044).
