3407. 'And the man increased, and went on increasing, so much so that he became extremely prosperous' means increases. This is clear from the meaning of 'increasing', of 'going on doing so', and of 'becoming extremely prosperous' as increases of good and truth in their proper order, that is to say, from truth to good, and from good to truth.
