5496. 'And he saw his silver' means a discernment that no power of their own had been expended. This is clear from the meaning of 'seeing' as understanding and discerning, dealt with in 2150, 2325, 2807, 3764, 3863, 4403-4421, 4567, 4723, 5400; and from the meaning of 'silver that was restored' as without the expending of any power of their own, dealt with in 5488.
