569. Verse 2. And the sons of God saw the daughters of man that they were good, and they took to themselves wives of all that they chose. By the “sons of God” are signified the doctrinal things of faith. By “daughters” here as before, cupidities. By the “sons of God seeing the daughters of man that they were good, and taking to themselves wives of all that they chose” is signified that the doctrinal things of faith conjoined themselves with cupidities, in fact with any cupidities whatever.
