1 Mose 24:22

Study

       

22 Da nun die Kamele alle getrunken hatten, nahm er eine güldene Spange, eines halben Sekels schwer, und zween Armringe an ihre Hände, zehn Sekel Goldes schwer,

from the Writings of Emanuel Swedenborg

 

Arcana Coelestia #3136

Studere hoc loco

3136. 'And behold, he was standing with the camels' means presence in general facts. This is clear from the meaning of 'standing with' as being present, and from the meaning of 'the camels' as general facts, dealt with in 3048, 3071.

Commentarius

 

Silver from Tarshish and gold from Uphaz

  

In Jeremiah 10:9, 'silver from Tarshish' signifies the truth of the Word in its literal sense, and 'gold from Uphaz,' the good of the Word in the literal sense.
