7 E i figliuoli di Giacobbe, com’ebbero udito il fatto, tornarono dai campi; e questi uomini furono addolorati e fortemente adirati perché costui aveva commessa un’infamia in Israele, giacendosi con la figliuola di Giacobbe: cosa che non era da farsi.

4432. 'The prince of the land' means which was first and foremost among the Churches. This is clear from the meaning of 'the prince' as that which is first and foremost, dealt with in 1482, 2089, and from the meaning of 'the land' as the Church, dealt with in 662, 1066, 1067, 1262, 1733, 1850, 2117, 2138, 2928, 3355, 3686, 3705.
