Exode 21:6

6 Alors son maître le fera venir devant les Juges, et le fera approcher de la porte, ou du poteau, et son maître lui percera l'oreille avec une alêne; et il le servira à toujours.

Commentarius

 

Silver

  

'Silver' signifies spiritual good or truth from a celestial origin. It also represents the truth of faith, or the truth acquired from self-hood, or proprium. 'Silver' means scientific truth. In Genesis 20:16, it signifies rational truth. 'A piece of silver' signifies a truth, or a knowledge of truth. In the internal sense of the Word, it signifies truth, but also falsity.

Jeremiah 10:8-9

Study

      

8 But they are together brutish and foolish: the instruction of idols! it is but a stock.

9 There is silver beaten into plates, which is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the artificer and of the hands of the goldsmith; blue and purple for their clothing; they are all the work of skillful men.
