5237. 'A servant of the chief of the attendants' means in which there was truth that served that which came first and foremost in explanations. This is clear from the use of 'a servant' to refer to truth, dealt with in 2567, 3409; and from the meaning of 'the chief of the attendants' as things which come first and foremost in explanations, dealt with in 4790, 4966, 5084. And since truth is of service to explanations - to explanations of the Word - 'a servant of the chief of the attendants' here means truth that is of service.
