Ezekiel 34:17

Study

       

17 As for you, O my flock, thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I judge between sheep and sheep, the rams and the male goats.

Arcana Coelestia #9082

9082. '[The owner] shall give their master thirty shekels of silver' means that the internal man shall restore it completely. This is clear from the meaning of 'thirty shekels of silver' as complete restoration of what has been damned, by means of truth. For 'silver' is truth derived from good, 1551, 2954, 5658, 6112, 6914, 6917, 7999, 8932; 'thirty' is what is complete, 5335, 7984; and 'the owner' who shall restore is the internal man, 9069, that is, truths of faith from the Word, since these compose the life of the internal man.
