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.

6793. 'And he gave Zipporah his daughter to Moses' means that he linked the good of his Church to it. This is clear from the meaning of 'giving' - that is, giving in marriage - as linking to; from the meaning of 'daughter' as good, dealt with in 489-491, and also as a Church, 2362, 3963, 6729 ('Zipporah' means the essential nature of the good of that Church); and from the representation of 'Moses' as true factual knowledge, dealt with in 6784.
