9464. 'Gold and silver' means internal good and truth in general. This is clear from the meaning of 'gold' as good, and of 'silver' as truth, dealt with in 113, 1551, 1552, 2954, 5658, 6112, 6914, 6917, 8932. The reason why internal good and truth is meant is that 'bronze' mentioned next means external good.

1552. 'And gold' means goods deriving from truths. This is clear from the meaning of 'gold' as celestial good, or the good of wisdom and love, as is clear from what has just been shown and also from what was shown previously in 113. That here they are goods deriving from truths follows from what was stated in the previous chapter about the Lord's joining intellectual truths to celestial things.
