Arcana Coelestia #491
491. The same things are meant by 'sons and daughters' in verses 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 26, 30, of this chapter, but the character of a Church determines that of its 'sons and daughters', or goods and truths. Here they are truths and goods that men perceived most clearly, for they have regard to the Most Ancient Church, the head and forefather of all other Churches that followed after it.
Genesis 5:19
19
Jared lived after he became the father of Enoch eight hundred years, and became the father of sons and daughters.
