29
The people of the land have been acting cruelly, taking men's goods by force; they have been hard on the poor and those in need, and have done wrong to the man from a strange land.
Ezekiel 22:29
Brass
Brass and iron as in Isaiah 48:4 and Daniel 7:19 signify what is hard.
In Genesis 4:22, brass signifies natural good. (Arcana Coelestia 421)
In Numbers 21:9, this signifies the Lord's divine natural. (Apocalypse Revealed 49)
Brass also signifies the good in man's natural and the sensuous in the Lord. (Arcana Coelestia 197, Apocalypse Revealed 49, Apocalypse Explained 705)
