6283. 'And in them will my name be called' means that in them the essential nature of the good of spiritual truth from the natural will be present. This is clear from the meaning of 'one's name being called in another' as the essential nature of one in the other, dealt with in 1754, 1896, 2009, 3421; and from the representation of 'Israel' as the good of spiritual truth from the natural, dealt with above in 6277. And since they had within them Israel's essential nature they were accepted among the rest of Jacob's sons and became tribes, one the tribe of Manasseh, the other the tribe of Ephraim. Along with the rest - though excluding the tribe of Levi because it became the priesthood - they made up the twelve tribes when inheritances were allotted to them, as described in Joshua and also Ezekiel 48.

When the Bible talks about someone being comforted or consoled, it generally means that they are being offered ideas that will help bring them to a more peaceful spiritual state, whether it is a new state or the restoration of one that had been under attack. It's interesting; we tend to think of comforting someone as an emotional thing, offering our own feelings to help them feel better. But the Writings say that the spiritual meaning of 'comfort' is actually more intellectual, coming when a person gains new true ideas.

In Genesis 5:29, this signifies doctrine whereby what was perverted may be restored. (Arcana Coelestia 531)

In Genesis 27:42, this signifies intent to invert the current spiritual state.
