9676. 'And their hooks [shall be made] from gold' means the modes by which they are linked together through good. This is clear from the meaning of 'hooks' as the modes by which things are linked together, hooks possessing this meaning on account of their shape; and from the meaning of 'gold' as good, dealt with in 113, 1551, 1552, 5658, 6914, 6917, 9490.
