In Genesis 43:23, Exodus 1:11, this signifies truth and good given by the Lord without the individual's knowledge. (Arcana Coelestia 5664)

This also signifies doctrines from falsified truths in the natural man. (Arcana Coelestia 6661)

In Exodus 19:5 and Psalm 135:4, this signifies that divine truth should be with them more than with other people. (Arcana Coelestia 8768)

In Isaiah 30:6, this signifies knowledges in the natural man. (Arcana Coelestia 3048[3])

In Isaiah 10:13, this signifies the truths of intelligence destroyed. (Arcana Coelestia 10227[4])

'Treasure,' as in Matthew 13:44, signifies divine truth in the Word.
