3124. Jehovah hath led me to the house of my lord’s brethren. That this signifies to the good of truth, is evident from the signification of the “house of the brethren,” of which was Rebekah, as being the good from which is the truth. That the “house of the brethren” is good, here the good from which is the truth, is evident from the signification of a “house,” as being good (see n. 2233, 2234, 2559); and of “brethren,” as being the origin of that good from which is the truth represented by Rebekah.

2234. That a “way” denotes doctrine, is evident from the signification of a “way.” A “way” in the Word is predicated of truths, because truths lead to good and proceed from good ((627) as is evident from the passages adduced in Part First,n. 627); and as a “way” is predicated of truths, it denotes doctrine, because doctrine comprises in one complex all the things which lead to good, that is, to charity.
