This is because 'Naharaim', or 'rivers', means intelligence which consists of cognitions of truth, as may be seen from the places quoted from the Word in 108, 109, 2702, and from many others, which will in the Lord's Divine mercy be presented elsewhere.

In Daniel 5:25, 27, "tekel", one of the words contained in the writing on the wall, signifies to weigh or investigate quality as to good. (Apocalypse Revealed 313, Apocalypse Explained 373[3])
