Ezekiel 34:18

18 Does it seem a small thing to you to have fed on the good pasture, but you must tread down with your feet the residue of your pasture? and to have drunk of the clear waters, but you must foul the residue with your feet?

9082. '[The owner] shall give their master thirty shekels of silver' means that the internal man shall restore it completely. This is clear from the meaning of 'thirty shekels of silver' as complete restoration of what has been damned, by means of truth. For 'silver' is truth derived from good, 1551, 2954, 5658, 6112, 6914, 6917, 7999, 8932; 'thirty' is what is complete, 5335, 7984; and 'the owner' who shall restore is the internal man, 9069, that is, truths of faith from the Word, since these compose the life of the internal man.
