'Poor' signifies someone who is not in truths, and people who are ignorant of good and truth, but desire instruction.

(Notae: Heaven and Hell 420)

'Women,' as in Genesis 45:19, signify the affections of truth. But in Genesis 31:50, 'women' signify affections of not genuine truth, so not of the church.
