8714.“五十夫长”表居间的首要真理。这从“夫长”和“五十”的含义清楚可知:“夫长”(首领)是指首要真理,如前所述(8712,8713节);“五十”是指居间真理,也就是说在“百夫长”所表示的源于良善、处于第二层级的真理与“十夫长”所表示的处于第三层级的真理之间的真理。“五十”之所以表示居间真理,是因为“五十”既表示大量,也表示些许,与“五”所表相同;“五”表示大量(参看5708,5956节);“五”所表示些许(4638,5291节);因此,当提及“一百”和“十”之间的“五十”时,它表示居间物。居间物是指那些从那一边发出,接近这一边,或从那一部分延伸到这一部分,从而存在于处于在先层级的事物与处于在后层级的事物之间,以便将这些层级联结起来的事物

8714. Princes of fifties. That this signifies intermediate primary truths, is evident from the signification of "princes," as being primary things (as above, n. 8712, 8713); and from the signification of "fifties," as being intermediate things, namely, between the truths from good that are in the second degree and those which are in the third, signified by "princes of hundreds" and "princes of tens." That "fifty" denotes things intermediate, is because by "fifty" is signified both much and somewhat, the like as by "five" (that it signifies much, see n. 5708, 5956; that it signifies somewhat, n. 4638, 5291); consequently when "fifty" is named between "a hundred" and "ten," it denotes things intermediate. Intermediate things are those which draw near to one side, and proceed from the other, thus are between those which for the sake of conjunction are in a prior degree and those which are in a posterior one.

8714. 'Rulers of fifties' means first and foremost truths that are intermediary. This is clear from the meaning of 'rulers' as first and foremost truths, as above in 8712, 8713; and from the meaning of 'fifties' as intermediary truths, that is to say, those which lie between truths springing from good that reside in the second degree and those that reside in the third, meant by 'rulers of hundreds' and 'rulers of tens'. The reason why 'fifties' are intermediary truths is that 'fifty' means either much or something, just as 'five' does (for the meaning of 'five' as much, see 5708, 5956, and for its meaning something, 4638, 5291), and therefore when fifty is mentioned between a hundred and ten, intermediaries are meant. Intermediary truths are those which extend towards one part from another, that is, exist between those in a prior degree and those in a posterior degree, in order to link such degrees together.
