9376. 'And seventy of the elders of Israel' means the Church's leading truths which belong to the Word or religious teachings and are in tune with good. This is clear from the meaning of 'seventy' as something complete, thus all things, dealt with in 6508; and from the meaning of 'the elders of Israel' as the Church's leading truths that are in tune with good, thus truths which belong to the Word or to teachings derived from the Word since they are all in tune with good. For the meaning of 'the elders of Israel' as those truths, see 6524, 8578, 8585. The reason why those derived from the Word are in tune with good is that they come from the Lord and consequently have heaven within them; indeed, if you are willing to believe it, heaven in which the Lord is present resides in every single part of the Word.
