AE 518b - trees & gardens; rivers & waters

AE 518b
Where trees and gardens are treated of in the Word,
waters and rivers to water them are also mentioned,
for the reason that "trees" signify perceptions and knowledges,
and "waters" and "rivers" truths and understanding therefrom;
for without the understanding of truths
a person is like a garden where there is no water,
whose trees wither away.

As the valleys are they planted,
as gardens by the river,
as aloes which Jehovah has planted,
and as cedar-trees beside the waters.
(Numbers 24:6)
