5678. 'And he said, Does your father, the old man of whom you spoke. have peace?' means with spiritual good too. This is clear from the meaning of 'peace' as all being well, as above in 5677; and from the representation of Israel, to whom 'father' refers here, as spiritual good, dealt with in 3654, 4286, 4598.
