Arcana Coelestia #4400
4400. 'A hundred kesitahs' means that which is complete. This is clear from the meaning of 'a hundred' as a complete state, dealt with in 2636, and therefore that which is complete. But strictly speaking 'a hundred' in the present instance means much, for the subject is making its own the good from interior truths, which are meant by 'the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem', 4399. 'Kesitahs', which were coins, in the internal sense means truths of this kind, for this word is also derived from another which means truth, Psalms 60:4. The joining of good to those truths will be discussed below in 4402.
Genesis 33:17-20
17
Jacob traveled to Succoth, built himself a house, and made shelters for his livestock. Therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.
18
Jacob came in peace to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Paddan Aram; and encamped before the city.
19
He bought the parcel of ground where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem's father, for one hundred pieces of money.
20
He erected an altar there, and called it El Elohe Israel.
