1223. Verse 22. The sons of Shem: Elam, and Asshur, and Arpachshad, and Lud, and Aram. By “Shem” is signified here as before, an internal church; by “the sons of Shem,” the things that are of wisdom; “Elam, and Asshur, and Arpachshad, and Lud, and Aram” were so many nations, by which are signified things that are of wisdom-by “Elam” faith from charity, by “Asshur” the derivative reason, by “Arpachshad” the derivative memory-knowledge, by “Lud” the knowledges of truth, by “Aram” the knowledges of good.
