2555. Verses 12-13. And moreover truly she is my sister, being the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother, and she became my wife. And it came to pass when God caused me to depart from my father’s house, that I said unto her, This is thy goodness which thou shalt do unto me; at every place whither we shall come, say of me, He is my brother. “And moreover truly she is my sister,” signifies that rational truth had such an affinity; “the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother,” signifies that the rational was conceived of celestial good as a father, but not of spiritual truth as a mother; “and she became my wife,” signifies that spiritual truth was conjoined with the celestial by the mediumship of rationality; “and it came to pass when God caused me to depart from my father’s house,” signifies when He left what is of memory-knowledge and the appearances therefrom, together with their delights, which are here the “house of his father;” “that I said unto her,” signifies the thought at the time; “this is thy goodness which thou shalt do unto me,” signifies that He would then have therefrom this comfort; “at every place whither we shall come,” signifies all that He should afterwards conclude concerning rational truth; “say of me, he is my brother,” signifies that it should be said that rational truth had been adjoined to celestial good.
