Arcana Coelestia #3099
3099. Verses 21-22 And the man, wondering at her, remained silent so as to know whether Jehovah had prospered his way or not. And so it was, when the camels finished drinking, that the man took a gold nose-jewel, half a shekel in weight, and two bracelets to go on her hands, ten [shekels] of gold in weight.
'The man, wondering at her, remained silent' means a state of perception regarding those things. 'So as to know whether Jehovah had prospered his way or not' means regarding Divine Truth, as to what sort it was. 'And so it was, when the camels finished drinking' means acknowledgement resulting from enlightenment in general facts. 'That the man took a gold nose-jewel' means Divine Good. 'Half a shekel in weight' means the amount needed for the introduction. 'And two bracelets' means Divine Truth. 'To go on her hands' means the power of the affection for truth. 'Ten [shekels] of gold in weight' means the full amount involved in the introduction.
1 Koenige 3:6
6
Salomo sprach: Du hast an meinem Vater David, deinem Knechte, große Barmherzigkeit getan, wie er denn vor dir gewandelt hat in Wahrheit und Gerechtigkeit und mit richtigem Herzen vor dir; und hast ihm diese große Barmherzigkeit gehalten und ihm einen Sohn gegeben, der auf seinem Stuhl säße, wie es denn jetzt gehet.
