7 雅各的儿子们见这事,就从田野回,人人忿恨,十分恼怒;因示剑在以色列家作了丑事,与雅各的女儿行淫,这本是不该做的事。

4520. 'I and my house' means as regards truth and good. This is clear from the representation of Jacob, to whom 'I' refers here, as the Church, in particular the Church as regards truth (as may be deduced from what has been shown concerning Jacob's representation in 3305, 3509, 3525, 3546, 3576, 3599, 3775, 4234, 4337; that is to say, he represents the Lord as regards Divine Natural Truth. For in representations when a person in the highest sense represents the Lord as regards the Divine Truth of His Natural, he also represents the Lord's kingdom as regards Divine Truth there, and consequently the Church as regards truth, because these correspond to each other; for all truth within His kingdom and Church is the Lord's); and from the meaning of 'a house' as the Church as regards good, dealt with in 2233, 2234, 3720.
