9565. And a pomegranate under two reeds out of it, and a pomegranate under two reeds out of it, and a pomegranate under too reeds out of it. That this signifies the memory-knowledge of good for all the several truths, is evident from the signification of “a pomegranate,” as being memory-knowledge of good (see n. 9552); and from the signification of the “reeds,” as being truths from good (n. 9555). Its being said three times signifies everything, and in the internal sense complete conjunction; for by “three” is signified what is complete (n. 2788, 4495, 7715, 9198); and by “two” is signified conjunction (n. 1686, 5194, 8423).

7715. For three days. That this signifies a full state, is evident from the signification of “three days,” as being a full state (see n. 2788, 4495). By a full state is meant an entire state from beginning to end; for every state has its beginning, its increments, and its maximum. This period is what is meant by a full state, and is signified by “three days.”
