Moab

  

In Numbers 22:4, 7 and Jeremiah 48:38, Moab signifies people in natural good who easily permit themselves to be led astray. (Arcana Coelestia 3242[3], 10184[2]) In an opposite sense, it signifies people who adulterate what is good. 'Moab and Ammon' signify people with whom good is adulterated and truth falsified.

3303. 'And after this his brother came out' means truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'brother' as good, and also as truth, for the two are called brothers. Charity is the brother of faith, or good the brother of truth, see 367, so that conversely faith is the brother of charity, or truth the brother of good. Also within the natural, the affection for good is called a brother and the affection for truth a sister, 3160, as well as husband and wife (mulier), and man and wife (mulier). But these are always used with respect to the states that are being described.
