5641. 'Bring the men to the house' means that the truths in the natural were to be introduced into it. This is clear from the meaning of 'the sons of Jacob' as the truths known to the Church that were present in the natural, dealt with in 5403, 5419, 5427, 5428, 5512 - their introduction into the external Church being meant by 'bring them to the house'.

5512. 'And took us for men spying out the land' means that it saw the truths known to the Church as ones existing there for the sake of gain. This is clear from the representation of the sons of Jacob, to whom 'us' refers here, as the truths known to the Church that were present in the natural, dealt with in 5403, 5419, 5427, 5458; and from the meaning of 'spies' or 'men spying out the land' as people interested in the truths known to the Church solely for the sake of gain, dealt with in 5432.
