4166. 'Because you have felt all around my vessels, what have you found belonging to all the vessels of your house?' means that no truths had been that good's very own but all had been given. This is clear from the meaning of 'the vessels of his house' as the truths that are its own. 'Vessels' means the truths, see 3068, 3079, 3316, 3318, and so 'the vessels of his house', it is evident, means the truths that are its own. 'Feeling around for those vessels and not finding them' means that none had been its own and consequently that all had been given. For the implications of all this, see 4151.
