Silver
'Silver' signifies spiritual good or truth from a celestial origin. It also represents the truth of faith, or the truth acquired from self-hood, or proprium. 'Silver' means scientific truth. In Genesis 20:16, it signifies rational truth. 'A piece of silver' signifies a truth, or a knowledge of truth. In the internal sense of the Word, it signifies truth, but also falsity.

Psalms第12章
1
Help, Yahweh; for the godly man ceases. For the faithful fail from among the children of men.
2
Everyone lies to his neighbor. They speak with flattering lips, and with a double heart.
3
May Yahweh cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that boasts,
4
who have said, "With our tongue we will prevail. Our lips are our own. Who is lord over us?"
5
"Because of the oppression of the weak and because of the groaning of the needy, I will now arise," says Yahweh; "I will set him in safety from those who malign him."
6
The words of Yahweh are flawless words, as silver refined in a clay furnace, purified seven times.
7
You will keep them, Yahweh. You will preserve them from this generation forever.
8
The wicked walk on every side, when what is vile is exalted among the sons of men. For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.
