5414.“在前来的人当中,以色列的儿子们也来要买”表它渴望通过记忆知识获得属灵真理,就像获得其它一切真理一样。这从“以色列的儿子们”、“买”和“前来的人当中”的含义清楚可知:“以色列的儿子们”是指属灵真理,因为“儿子”是指真理(参看5403节),“以色列”是指从属世人出来的属天-属灵人(4286,4570,4598节),因此“以色列的儿子们”是指属世层里面的属灵真理;“买”是指获得;“前来的人当中”是指像其它一切真理一样,也就是说通过记忆知识获得它们。

5414. And the sons of Israel came to buy among those that came. That this signifies that it desired that like all other truths, spiritual truths should be procured by means of memory-knowledges, is evident from the signification of the "sons of Israel," as being spiritual truths (for "sons" are truths, as may be seen above, n. 5403; and "Israel" is the celestial spiritual man from the natural, n. 4286, 4570, 4598; thus the "sons of Israel" are spiritual truths in the natural); from the signification of "buying," as being to be procured; and from the signification of "in the midst of those that came," as being like all other truths, that is, in that they are procured by means of memory-knowledges.
Elliott(1983-1999) 5414
5414. 'And the sons of Israel came to buy in the midst of others who came' means the wish to acquire spiritual truths, like all other truths, through factual knowledge. This is clear from the meaning of 'the sons of Israel' as spiritual truths (for 'sons' are truths, see above in 5403, and 'Israel' is the celestial-spiritual man coming out of the natural, 4286, 4570, 4598, so that 'the sons of Israel' are spiritual truths within the natural); from the meaning of 'buying' as being acquired; and from the meaning of 'in the midst of others who came' as like all other truths, that is to say, ones acquired through factual knowledge.
Latin(1748-1756) 5414
5414. `Et venerunt filii Israelis ad emendum in medio venientium': quod significet quod vellet ut spiritualia vera aeque compararentur per scientifica, sicut reliqua, constat ex significatione `filiorum Israelis' quod sint vera spiritualia; `filii' enim sunt vera, videatur supra n. 5403, et `Israel' est caelestis spiritualis homo ex naturali, n. 4286, 4570, 4598; ita `filii Israelis' sunt spiritualia vera in naturali; ex significatione `emere' quod sit comparari; et ex significatione `in medio venientium' quod sit sicut reliqua, quae nempe per scientifica comparantur.
