4400. 'A hundred kesitahs' means that which is complete. This is clear from the meaning of 'a hundred' as a complete state, dealt with in 2636, and therefore that which is complete. But strictly speaking 'a hundred' in the present instance means much, for the subject is making its own the good from interior truths, which are meant by 'the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem', 4399. 'Kesitahs', which were coins, in the internal sense means truths of this kind, for this word is also derived from another which means truth, Psalms 60:4. The joining of good to those truths will be discussed below in 4402.
