10485. 'And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves to him' means those in possession of truths springing from good. This is clear from the meaning of 'the sons of Levi' as those who have spiritual love or charity towards the neighbour within them, dealt with in 3875, 4497, 4502, 4503. Whether you say charity towards the neighbour or truth springing from good, it amounts to the same thing; for those who have charity lead a life of truth, and a life of truth - that is, a life in keeping with God's truths - is charity.
