The head is the part of us that is highest, which means in a representative sense that it is what is closest to the Lord. Because of this the head represents what is inmost in us, the thing at the center of our being. In most cases this means intelligence and wisdom, since most of us are in a state of life in which we are led by our thoughts and reason. In the case of the Lord, however, it often represents His perfect love. And in many cases the head is used to represent the whole person.

9150. 'And it is taken away by theft out of the man's house' means the loss of them from there. This is clear from the meaning of 'theft' as taking away the kinds of things that compose a person's spiritual life, and therefore taking away the truths and factual knowledge meant by 'silver and vessels', 9149; and from the meaning of 'house' as the place where something is stored. So it is that 'house' has various meanings, such as the Church, what is good there, also a person, as well as both levels of the human mind, the natural level and the rational; but at this point it means the memory, because truths and factual knowledge reside in it as in their own house. Regarding 'house' and its various meanings, see 3128, 3142, 3538, 3652, 3720, 3900, 4973, 4982, 5023, 5640, 6690, 7353, 7848, 7929.
