9611. 'And you shall make fifty clasps of gold' means a complete ability derived from good to join things together. This is clear from the meaning of 'fifty' as completeness, as above in 9608; from the meaning of 'clasps' as an ability to join things together, for they possess this ability by virtue of their shape, which is that of something curved or curled back; and from the meaning of 'gold' as good, dealt with in 113, 1551, 1552, 5658, 6914, 6917, 9490, 9510.
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.
