20
At ipinadala ni Juda ang anak ng kambing sa pamamagitan ng kamay ng kaniyang kaibigan, na Adullamita, upang tanggapin ang sangla sa kamay ng babae: datapuwa't hindi niya nasumpungan.
Genesis 38:20
Arcana Coelestia # 4838
4838. 'So that he should not provide seed for his brother' means that this being so there was no continuation. This is clear from the meaning of 'providing seed for a brother', or performing the duty of a husband's brother, as continuing that which constitutes the Church, dealt with above in 4835, which shows that 'not providing seed for his brother' means that, this being so, there was no continuation.
David and Israel
In Jeremiah 33:26, this signifies people who are in spiritual divine truth, and people who are in natural-spiritual divine truth. (Apocalypse Explained 768[17], Divine Love and Wisdom 43, 44)
