주께서 또 주의 종들에게 말씀하시되 너희 말째 아우가 너희와 함께 내려오지 아니하면 너희가 다시 내 얼굴을 보지 못하리라 하시기로
5735. 'And put each one's silver in the mouth of his pouch' means bringing in addition truth received anew in the exterior natural. This is clear from the meaning of 'silver' as truth, dealt with in 1551, 2954, 5658; and from the meaning of 'the mouth of the pouch' as the opening of the exterior natural, dealt with in 5497. For what the exterior natural and the interior natural are, see 4570, 5118, 5126, 5497, 5649. The reason why truth received anew is meant is that the silver had been put back in the mouths of their pouches on a previous occasion as well, Genesis 42:25, 27-28, 35.
