3583. And let thy mother’s sons bow down themselves to thee. That this signifies over all other affections of truth, is evident from the signification of “sons,” as also being truths (see n. 489, 491, 533, 1147, 2623, 3373); and from the signification of mother,” as being the affection of spiritual truth, and thence the church; because the church is and is so called from truth and the affection thereof (n. 289, 2691, 2717).
Arcana Coelestia # 1147
1147. And unto them were sons born. That these signify the doctrinals thence derived, is evident from the signification of “sons” in the internal sense, as being the truths of faith, and also the falsities, consequently doctrinal matters; by which both true and false are meant, for such are the doctrinals of churches. (That “sons” have such a signification may be seen above, n. 264, 489, 491, 535)
