4498. Brothers of Dinah. That this signifies the truths and goods of that church, is evident from the signification of “brothers,” as being truths and goods, or faith and charity (see n. 367, 3303, 3803, 3815, 4121, 4191, 4267); and from the representation of Dinah, as being the affection of truth, and consequently the church (n. 3963, 3964, 4427).

3964. And called her name Dinah. That this signifies its quality, is evident from the signification of a “name” and of “calling a name,” as being the quality (concerning which above). The quality which Dinah represents and signifies is all that which is of the church of faith in which there is good, as described just above. The same is also evident from the derivation of her name, for in the original language “Dinah” means “judgment.” (That “judgment” in the Word is predicated of the truth of faith, may be seen above, n. 2235; and that “judging” in the internal sense is the holy of faith, and in the external sense the good of life, n. 3921.) These things belong to the church.
