5519. Hereby shall I know that ye are upright. That this signifies that it is willing, if they are in truths not for the sake of gain, is evident from the signification of "knowing," as here being to be willing, for this follows from the series; and from the signification of "that ye are upright," thus that they were not spies, as being that they were in truths not for the sake of their own advantage (n. 5432, 5512).
