6446. 'All these are the twelve tribes of Israel' means all truths and forms of good in their entirety. This is clear from the meaning of 'the twelve tribes of Israel' as all truths and forms of good in their entirety, dealt with in 3858, 3926, 3939, 4060, 6335, 6397. The fact that such things are meant by 'the tribes' is evident not only from what has been stated about the tribes in those places just listed but also from what is said regarding them in the present chapter.
