5534. And they were afraid. That this signifies what is holy, is evident from the signification of "being afraid" when such things happen as are of Divine providence-here that truths were bestowed gratis, signified by "every man's bundle of silver being in his sack." The holy which then flows in also induces something of fear together with holy reverence.
