AR 287 - myriads and thousands

AR 287
And the number of them was myriads of myriads,
and thousands of thousands
signifies all in truths and in goods.
By 'number' in the natural sense
is understood that which relates to measure or weight,
but by 'number' in the spiritual sense
is understood that which relates to quality;
and here their quality is described by [the statement]
that there were 'myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands',
for 'a myriad' is predicated of truths,
and 'a thousand' of goods.
'Myriad' is predicated of truths and 'thousand' of goods,
because a myriad is the greater and a thousand is the lesser,
and truths are manifold but goods are simple;
also because in the Word where it treats of truths
it also treats of goods,
on account of the marriage of truth and good in the details of the Word.
