7023. 'And his sons' means the truths from there. This is clear from the meaning of 'sons' as truths, dealt with in 489, 491, 533, 1147, 2623, 3373. The words 'from there' are used because the truths spring from the marriage spoken of immediately above.

490. Many times in the Word 'daughter' stands for goods, as in David,

Daughters of kings are among your precious ones, at your right hand stands the queen in the finest gold of Ophir. The daughter of Tyre is there with a gift. All glorious is the king's daughter within, in her clothing of gold embroidery. Instead of your fathers will be your sons. Psalms 45:9-16.

Here the good and beauty of love and faith are described as 'a daughter'. This is why Churches are called 'daughters', and especially by virtue of goods, for example, 'the daughter of Zion and the daughter of Jerusalem' in Isaiah 37:22, and frequently elsewhere. They are also called 'the daughters of [My] people' in Isaiah 22:4, 'the daughter of Tarshish' in Isaiah 23:10 'the daughter of Sidon' in Isaiah 23:10, and 'daughters in the field' in Ezekiel 26:6, 8.
