'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.

3067. 'And let the girl to whom I say' means an affection that has innocence within it. This is clear from the meaning of 'the girl'. In the Word affections for good and truth are called young children, girls, young women, and daughters, but in every case the different usage has regard to state. When 'a daughter' is used affection in general is meant, but when 'a young woman' affection that has charity within it is meant. When however 'a girl' is used affection that has innocence within it is meant, the reason being that girlhood comes next after early childhood, which in the internal sense is innocence, as does 'a boy' or 'small child' by which is meant a state in which innocence is present, see 430.
