171. Internal Meaning of Ezekiel, Chapter 48

1-8 That partition continued, (12)

9-20 for those who are in the third heaven, who are the priests and Levites. (12)

21-22 The Lord is in the midst of them. (12)

23-29 The further partition or inheritance continued. (12)

30-34 The knowledges [cognitiones] of that church, which are introductory truths. (12)

35 This church is the Lord's church. (12)

Joseph in his highest meaning represents the life of Jesus. He also represents the state of knowing truths and using them to do good. This is phrased in many of the attached references as the celestial of the spiritual, or the good of truth, which is the good that is done because we know truths that are our guides to life.
