5765. Verses 11-12 And they hurried and caused to come down, each one his pouch to the earth; and they opened, each one his pouch. And he searched; he began with the oldest and finished with the youngest. And the cup was found in Benjamin's pouch.

'And they hurried' means an unwillingness to wait. 'And caused to comedown, each one his pouch to the earth' means that they brought the contents of the natural down to the level of sensory impressions. 'And they opened, each one his pouch' means so that they might thereby make the matter clear to themselves. 'And he searched' means an investigation.' He began with the oldest and finished with the youngest' means order. 'And the cup was found in Benjamin's pouch' means that interior truth from the celestial existed with the intermediary.

Youths

  
This print, from a medieval French manuscript, shows a relatively bald Elisha cursing the youths as the bears attack. Elijah rides a chariot overhead, having been taken up to heaven shortly before.

Youths" or "Young men" generally represent intelligence or the understanding of truth.
