Arcana Coelestia #2981

2981. 'Which is Hebron' means that this was a new Church. This is clear from the meaning of 'Hebron' as the spiritual Church, dealt with above in this chapter, in 2909. There the expression 'Kiriath Arba, which is Hebron' occurs, for the reason that 'Kiriath Arba' means the Church as regards truth and 'Hebron' the Church as regards good. But here the name Kiriath Arba is not used any more, only Hebron, because the subject is a regenerate person, who does not act any longer from truth but from good, as stated above in 2979.
