2467. Verses 37-38. And the firstborn bare a son, and called his name Moab; he is the father of Moab even unto this day. And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name Benammi; he is the father of the sons of Ammon even unto this day. “The firstborn bare a son,” signifies the religion of that church in respect to good; “and called his name Moab,” signifies its quality; “he is the father of Moab even unto this day,” signifies that this is the source of such persons. “And the younger she also bare a son,” signifies the falsified truth of that church; “and called his name Benammi,” signifies its quality; “he is the father of the sons of Ammon even unto this day,” signifies that this is the source of such persons.
