10333. 'And in the cutting of stones for filling' means in order to represent all matters of faith that are of service to the good of love. This is clear from the meaning of 'the cutting of stones' as that which is representative of all matters of faith springing from love, for by 'the cutting of stones' the cutting of those in the breastplate, which were the Urim and Thummim, should be understood, and these stones represented all matters of faith and love, see 3858, 6335, 6640, 9823, 9863, 9865, 9868, 9873, 9905; and from the meaning of 'filling' as being of service to the good of love from which they spring, for the stones were set in the gold there, and 'gold' means the good of love, 1551, 1552, 5658, 6914, 6917, 8932, 9490, 9881, 9874.

1552. 'And gold' means goods deriving from truths. This is clear from the meaning of 'gold' as celestial good, or the good of wisdom and love, as is clear from what has just been shown and also from what was shown previously in 113. That here they are goods deriving from truths follows from what was stated in the previous chapter about the Lord's joining intellectual truths to celestial things.
