3099. Verses 21-22. And the man, marveling at her, withheld himself, to know whether Jehovah had prospered his way or not. And it came to pass when the camels had done drinking, that the man took a jewel of gold, of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands, ten of gold their weight. “And the man, marveling at her, withheld himself,” signifies a state of perception as to those things; “to know whether Jehovah had prospered his way or not,” signifies concerning Divine truth, what it was; “and it came to pass when the camels had done drinking,” signifies acknowledgment from enlightenment in general memory-knowledges; “that the man took a jewel of gold,” signifies Divine good; “of half a shekel weight,” signifies sufficient for initiation; “and two bracelets,” signifies Divine truth; “for her hands,” signifies the power of the affection of truth; “ten of gold their weight,” signifies what is full for initiation.
