Genesis 11:17

Study

       

17 And Eber liveth after his begetting Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begetteth sons and daughters.

Commentarius

 

Sons of the stranger

  

'Sons of the stranger' signify counterfeit truths, or falsities. 'Our sons' signify the doctrines of truth, and 'our daughters,' the doctrines of good, as in Psalm 144:11-12.
