「あなたがたは、れんがを作るためのわらを、もはや、今までのように、この民に与えてはならない。彼らに自分で行って、わらを集めさせなさい。
Arcana Coelestia # 7144
7144. 'No straw is given to your servants' means that they were no longer being supplied with factual knowledge that is a container for truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'straw' as factual knowledge, the most general kind of all, dealt with in 7112, which - being like a vessel that can be filled with truths, 4745, 4387, 5208, 7131 - is called factual knowledge that is a container for truth; from the meaning of 'not being given' as not being supplied with; and from the meaning of 'servants' as those who minister and perform a function, dealt with immediately above in 7143.
