6446. All these are the twelve tribes of Israel. That this signifies all truths and goods in the complex, is evident from the signification of the “twelve tribes of Israel,” as being all truths and goods in the complex (see n. 3858, 3926, 3939, 4060, 6335, 6397). That these are signified by the “tribes,” is plain not only from what has been said about the tribes in the places cited, but also from what has been said about them in this chapter.
