6439. Verse 27 Benjamin is a wolf; he will seize in the morning, he will devour the spoil, and at evening he will divide the plunder. 'Benjamin' means the truth of good present in the spiritual Church, which is 'Joseph'. 'Is a wolf' means an eagerness to rescue and deliver the good. 'He will seize in the morning, he will devour the spoil' means that the deliverance takes place when the Lord is present. 'And at evening he will divide the plunder' means their possession in the Lord's kingdom, while they are still in obscurity.
