4513. Verses 30-31. And Jacob said to Simeon and to Levi, Ye have troubled me, to make me to stink to the inhabitant of the land, to the Canaanite and the Perizzite; and I am mortals [few] of number, and they will be gathered together upon me, and will smite me, and I shall be destroyed, I and my house. And they said, Shall he make our sister as a harlot? “And Jacob said,” signifies the external Ancient Church; “to Simeon and to Levi,” signifies the representative of spiritual and celestial things; “Ye have troubled me, to make me to stink to the inhabitant of the land,” signifies that those who were of the Ancient Church would abhor them; “to the Canaanite and the Perizzite,” signifies who were in good and truth; “and I am mortals [few] of number,” signifies that it would be easy; “and they will be gathered together upon me, and will smite me, and I shall be destroyed,” signifies that thus the Ancient Church would perish; “I and my house,” signifies as to truth and good; “and they said,” signifies reply; “Shall he make our sister as a harlot?” signifies that they had no affection.
