6087. Then set them as princes over my cattle. That this signifies that they may be the primary things of memory-knowledges, is evident from the signification of "princes," as being primary things (see n. 1482, 2089, 5044); and from the signification of "cattle," as being truths from which is good (n. 6016, 6045, 6049), here memory-knowledges in which these truths are, because it is said "over my cattle," namely, Pharaoh's, by whom are represented, not truths in which is good, but memory-knowledges in which are truths.
