4475. 'Because he delighted in Jacob's daughter' means the semblance of religion in that Church. This is clear from the representation of Dinah, to whom 'Jacob's daughter' refers here, as an affection for the truth which the Ancient Church possessed, for this Church is represented by 'Jacob', 4439. With the affection for the truth possessed by this Church, or what amounts to the same, with this Church, there existed a strong desire to be joined. But because the Church among Jacob's descendants, which is represented here by 'his sons', who spoke in place of their father, 4470, became wholly external, and Hamor and Shechem agreed to accept the external usages, therefore 'Jacob's daughter' now means the semblance of religion in that Church.
