That this signifies the good of righteousness and the consequent power, is evident from the signification of "staves," as being power (see n. 9732); and from the signification of "shittim wood," as being the good of merit, that is, the good of righteousness (n. 9472, 9486). That this good is the good of love of the Lord's Divine Human, see n. 9715.
