8647. 'And Jethro, the father-in-law of Moses, took Zipporah, the wife of Moses' means the good from God which had been joined to God's truth. This is clear from the representation of Jethro, the father-in-law of Moses' as Divine Good, the source of the good joined to truth, in this instance God's truth, which 'Moses' represents, dealt with above in 8643, 8644; from the representation of 'Zipporah, the wife of Moses' as the good from God. Marriages represent goodness and truth joined together. In the celestial Church the husband represents good and the wife the truth coming from it; but in the spiritual Church the man represents truth and the wife good. Here 'the wife of Moses' represents good because the spiritual kingdom is dealt with, see 2517, 4510, 4823, 7022.
