421. Verse 22 And Zillah also, she gave birth to Tubal-cain, teacher of every craftsman in bronze and iron. And Tubal-cain's sister was Naamah. 'Zillah', as has been stated, means the mother of the natural features of the new Church. 'Tubal-cain, a teacher of every craftsman in bronze and iron' means the doctrine of natural good and truth; 'bronze' means natural good, 'iron' natural truth. 'Tubal-cain's sister was Naamah' means another Church or doctrine of natural good and truth, which though similar was not an integral part of that Church.

As with many common verbs, the meaning of “to say” in the Bible is highly dependent on context. Who is speaking? Who is hearing? What is it about? Is it a command, a message, an apology, instruction? All these things enter into the meaning of “say.” In general, though, “saying” has to do with sharing truth at various levels -- from the most exalted power people can have to perceive the Lord's desires directly to the most basic of orders issued to people at their lowest.
