3378. And I will cause thy seed to be multiplied as the stars of the heavens. That this signifies truths and the knowledges of faith, is evident from the signification of “seed,” as being truths (n. 3373) and from the signification of “stars,” as being the knowledges of faith (n. 2495, 2849).

2848. Thy seed. That this signifies the spiritual who are saved in the good of faith by the Lord’s Divine Human, is evident from the signification of “seed,” as being the faith of charity (concerning which see n. 1025, 1447, 1610, 1941); or what is the same, those of the human race who are in the faith of charity, that is, who are spiritual. They are also called by the Lord the “seed,” and the “sons of the kingdom,” in Matthew:

He who soweth the good seed is the Son of man, but the seed are the sons of the kingdom (Matthew 13:37-38).
