Arcana Coelestia #3709
3709. 'In you will all the families of the ground be blessed' means that all truths taught by doctrine which look to good will be joined to good. This is clear from the meaning of 'being blessed' as being joined together, dealt with in 3504, 3514, 3530, 3565, 3584, from the meaning of 'families' as goods and also truths which look to good, dealt with in 1159, 1261, and from the meaning of 'the ground' as that which is the Church's, consequently the doctrine of good and truth within the natural or external man, which 'Jacob' represents here, dealt with in 268, 566, ago, 3671. From this it is evident that 'in you will all the families of the ground be blessed' means that all truths taught by doctrine which look to good will be joined to good. Truths taught by doctrine which look to good are matters of doctrine concerning love to the Lord and charity towards the neighbour, which are said to be joined to good within the natural man when satisfaction and delight exists in knowing those things with the intention of acting upon them.
Jeremiah 25:17-26
17
Then took I the cup at Yahweh's hand, and made all the nations to drink, to whom Yahweh had sent me:
18
[to wit], Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and its kings, and its princes, to make them a desolation, an astonishment, a hissing, and a curse, as it is this day;
19
Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people;
20
and all the mixed people, and all the kings of the land of the Uz, and all the kings of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Gaza, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod;
21
Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon;
22
and all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Sidon, and the kings of the isle which is beyond the sea;
23
Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all who have the corners [of their hair] cut off;
24
and all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mixed people who dwell in the wilderness;
25
and all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes;
26
and all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another; and all the kingdoms of the world, which are on the surface of the earth: and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them.
