4400. For a hundred kesitah. That this signifies what is full, is evident from the signification of a “hundred,” as being a full state (see n. 2636),

consequently what is full. But properly by a “hundred” is here signified much, for the subject treated of is the appropriation of good from interior truths, which are signified by the “sons of Hamor the father of Shechem” (n. 4399). By the “kesitah,” which were coins, in the internal sense are signified such truths. This word is also derived from a word which means “truth” (Psalms 60:6). The conjunction of good with these truths will be spoken of below (n. 4402).
