2407. Saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters that are found. That this signifies the truth of faith and the affections of truth and of good, and that “found” means separated [from evil] is evident from the signification of “arising,” as being to be elevated from evil (n. 2401); also from the signification in this place of “wife,” as being the truth of faith (respecting which see under verse 26, where it is said of Lot’s wife that she was turned into a statue of salt) and also from the signification of the “two daughters,” as being the affections of truth and of good (see n. 2362). That “found” denotes separated from evil, is also evident, because they were set free. By these few words is this second state of the church here described, namely, that they do not from good suffer themselves to be led to truth, as before, but through truth to good; and yet they are in an obscure affection of good; for in the proportion that truth is made the leader, good is obscure; whereas in the proportion that good is made the leader, truth is plain and evident in its own light.
