102. Verse 9. And out of the ground made Jehovah God to grow every tree desirable to behold, and good for food; the tree of lives also, in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge [scientiae] of good and evil. A “tree” signifies perception; a “tree desirable to behold” the perception of truth; a “tree good for food” the perception of good; the “tree of lives” love and the faith thence derived; the “tree of the knowledge of good and evil” faith derived from what is sensuous, that is, from mere memory-knowledge [scientia].
