5737. 'And his silver for grain' means the truth of good. This is clear from the meaning of 'silver' as truth, dealt with in 1551, 2954, 5658, and from the meaning of 'grain' as good, dealt with in 5295, 5410. For interior or spiritual truth, which goes forth from the internal celestial represented by 'Joseph', is the truth of good. For what the truth of good is, see just above in 5733.

5295. 'And let them store up grain' means at the same time every good of truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'storing up' as collecting at the same time and preserving; and from the meaning of 'grain' as natural good, dealt with in 3580, in this case the good of truth present in the natural. For the good of truth is truth present in will and action. The reason 'grain' means good is that in the spiritual sense 'the field' is the Church, and therefore everything connected with the field - such as seed, sower, harvest, standing crop, grain, and also the head or tip of the grain, besides specifically wheat, barley, and much else - describes something to do with the Church. And everything to do with the Church has a connection with goodness and truth.
