In Genesis 38:3; 26, this signifies the quality of evil derived from falsity from evil or the quality of the idolatry of the Jewish nation. (Arcana Coelestia 4819, 4826, 4913)

(რეკომენდაციები: Genesis 2, 38, 38:2)

4817. 'And his name was Hirah' means the nature of that falsity. This is clear from the meaning of 'name' and 'calling the name' as the essential nature, dealt with in 144, 145, 1754, 1896, 2009, 2724, 3006, 3421. The nature of the falsity referred to immediately above is what is meant, for names used in the Word, both of places and of persons, mean states and spiritual entities, see 1224, 1264, 1876, 1888, 1946, 2643, 3422, 4298, 4442.
