3409. 'And he had many servants' means truth derived from that good. This is clear from the meaning of 'servants' as everything that is beneath, that has been subordinated, and that is obedient, dealt with in 1713, 2541, 3019, 3020 - thus truth since truth originates in good and ministers to good, dealt with extensively already.
