Levi

  

'Levi' signifies the affection of truth originating in good, and consequently, intelligence. 'Levi' signifies truth in practice, which is the good of life. in a negative sense, this signifies the evil of falsity which is opposite to the good of charity. (See Genesis 49:5-7, and Luke 10:29-37) 'Levi,' in the highest sense, signifies love and mercy, in a spiritual sense, he signifies charity in practice, which is good of life, and in a natural sense, association and conjunction.

In Malachi 2:5, 'Levi' represents the Lord regarding divine good.

6732. 'And she saw the box in the middle of the weed' means a discernment of the crude form of truth among false factual knowledge. This is clear from the meaning of 'seeing as discernment, dealt with in 2150, 3764, 4567, 4723, 5400; from the meaning of 'a box made of rush' as that which is crude but nevertheless is derived from truth, dealt with in 6723, thus a crude form of truth; and from the meaning of 'the weed' as false factual knowledge, dealt with in 6726, so that 'in the middle of the weed' means among that factual knowledge. Explanations of these meanings have been given above.
