tibiæ autem ferreæ : pedum quædam pars erat ferrea, quædam autem fictilis.
Apocalypsis Revelata #913
913. Quod "aurum" significet bonum amoris, est quia metalla aeque ac omnia et singula quae apparent in mundo naturali, correspondent; aurum bono amoris, argentum veris sapientiae, cuprum seu aes bono charitatis, ac ferrum veris fidei, Inde est, quod haec metalla etiam sint in Mundo spirituali, quoniam omnia quae ibi apparent, sunt correspondentiae; correspondent enim affectionibus et inde cogitationibus angelorum, quae in se spiritualia sunt. Quod "aurum" ex correspondentia significet bonum amoris, constare potest ex his locis:
"Suadeo tibi emere a Me Aurum exploratum igne, ut ditatus sis," (Apocalypsis 3:18);
"Quomodo obscuratum est Aurum, mutatum est Obryzum Optimum; effusi sunt Lapides sanctitatis in capite omnium platearum: filii Zionis aestimati pares Auro puro," (Threni 4:1-2);
"Animas pauperum servabit, et dabit illis ex Auro Schebae," (Psalm. 72:13, 15); 1
"Pro aere adducam Aurum, et pro ferro argentum, et pro lignis aes, et pro lapidibus ferrum; et ponam censum tuum pacem, et exactores tuos justitiam," (Esaias 60:17);
"Ecce sapiens tu, ullum occultum non latuit te; in sapientia tua et in intelligentia tua fecisti tibi Aurum et argentum in thesauris tuis: in Eden horto fuisti; omnis lapis pretiosus tegumentum tuum, et Aurum," (Ezechiel 28:3-4, 13);
"Turma camelorum obtegent te, omnes e Scheba venient, Aurum et thus portabunt, et laudes Jehovae annuntiabunt," (Esaias 60:6, 9; Matthaeus, (2:11);
"Implebo Domum hanc gloria, Mihi Argentum et Mihi Aurum, magna erit gloria Domus hujus posterioris prae prioris," (Haggaeus 2:(7,) 8-9);
"Filiae Regum inter pretiosas tuas, constitit Regina ad dextram tuam in Auro optimo Ophiris, de implexis Auri vestis ejus," (Psalm. 45:10, 14 (B.A. 9, 13); Ezechiel 16:13);
"Accepisti vasa ornatus tui ex Auro Meo, et ex Argento Meo, quae dederam tibi, et fecisti tibi imagines masculi," (Ezechiel 16:17);
"Argentum Meum et Aurum Meum sumpsistis, et desiderabilia Mea bona intulistis in templa vestra," (Joel 4:5 (B.A. 3:5)).
Quoniam "aurum" significabat Bonum amoris, ideo cum Belshazar cum magnatibus biberet vinum e vasis Auri eductis e Templo Hierosolymae, et simul laudaret deos Auri, argenti, aeris et ferri, scriptum est in pariete, et ille ea nocte occisus est, (Daniel 5:2, seq.).
(Praeter multis aliis in locis.)
Quoniam "aurum" significabat Bonum amoris, ideo Arca, in qua erat Lex, obducta erat Auro intra et extra, (Exodus 25:11);
Et ideo Propitiatorium et Cherubi super Arca erant ex puro Auro, (Exodus 25:(17,) 18);
Altare suffitus erat ex puro Auro, (Exodus 30:3);
Pariter Candelabrum cum lucernis, (Exodus 25:31, 38);
Et Mensa super qua panes facierum obducta fuit Auro, (Exodus 25:23-24).
Quoniam "aurum" significabat Bonum amoris, "argentum" Verum sapientiae, "aes" Bonum amoris naturalis qui amor vocatur charitas, et "ferrum" Verum fidei, ideo antiqui vocabant successiones temporum ab antiquissimis usque ad ultima, saecula aurea, argentea, aerea et ferrea. Similia significantur per statuam Nebuchadnezari in somnio visam,
Cujus caput erat Aurum bonum, pectus et brachia argentum, venter et femora aes, crura ferrum, pedes ex parte ferrum, ex parte argilla, (Daniel 2:32-33);
per haec significantur successivi status Ecclesiae in hoc mundo ab antiquissimis temporibus usque ad hodiernum. Status Ecclesiae hodiernus ita describitur:
"Quod vidisti ferrum mixtum cum argilla luti, commiscebunt se per semen hominis, sed non cohaerebunt unum cum altero, quemadmodum ferrum non commiscetur cum argilla," (Daniel 2:43);
per "ferrum" significatur Verum fidei, ut dictum est; sed cum non Verum fidei est, sed Fides absque vero, tunc est "ferrum mixtum cum argilla luti," quae non cohaerent: per "semen hominis," cum quo se illa commiscebunt, significatur Verum Verbi: hic status est Ecclesiae hodie. Quid postea futurum sit, describitur ibi paucis, vers. 45; sed pluribus, 7:13-18, 27.

Judges 15
1
But it happened after a while, in the time of wheat harvest, that Samson visited his wife with a young goat; and he said, "I will go in to my wife into the room." But her father wouldn't allow him to go in.
2
Her father said, "I most certainly thought that you had utterly hated her; therefore I gave her to your companion. Isn't her younger sister more beautiful than she? Please take her, instead."
3
Samson said to them, "This time I will be blameless in regard of the Philistines, when I harm them."
4
Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took torches, and turned tail to tail, and put a torch in the midst between every two tails.
5
When he had set the brands on fire, he let them go into the standing grain of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks and the standing grain, and also the olive groves.
6
Then the Philistines said, "Who has done this?" They said, "Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he has taken his wife, and given her to his companion." The Philistines came up, and burnt her and her father with fire.
7
Samson said to them, "If you behave like this, surely I will be avenged of you, and after that I will cease."
8
He struck them hip and thigh with a great slaughter: and he went down and lived in the cleft of the rock of Etam.
9
Then the Philistines went up, and encamped in Judah, and spread themselves in Lehi.
10
The men of Judah said, "Why have you come up against us?" They said, "We have come up to bind Samson, to do to him as he has done to us."
11
Then three thousand men of Judah went down to the cleft of the rock of Etam, and said to Samson, "Don't you know that the Philistines are rulers over us? What then is this that you have done to us?" He said to them, "As they did to me, so have I done to them."
12
They said to him, "We have come down to bind you, that we may deliver you into the hand of the Philistines." Samson said to them, "Swear to me that you will not fall on me yourselves."
13
They spoke to him, saying, "No; but we will bind you fast, and deliver you into their hand; but surely we will not kill you." They bound him with two new ropes, and brought him up from the rock.
14
When he came to Lehi, the Philistines shouted as they met him: and the Spirit of Yahweh came mightily on him, and the ropes that were on his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands dropped from off his hands.
15
He found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, and put forth his hand, and took it, and struck a thousand men therewith.
16
Samson said, "With the jawbone of a donkey, heaps on heaps; with the jawbone of a donkey I have struck a thousand men."
17
It happened, when he had made an end of speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand; and that place was called Ramath Lehi.
18
He was very thirsty, and called on Yahweh, and said, "You have given this great deliverance by the hand of your servant; and now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?"
19
But God split the hollow place that is in Lehi, and water came out of it. When he had drunk, his spirit came again, and he revived: therefore its name was called En Hakkore, which is in Lehi, to this day.
20
He judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
