742. 'Sons' means truths, 'wife' goods, 'sons' wives' truths joined to goods. This has been stated already at verse 18 of the previous chapter where the same words occur. By truths and goods, though called 'sons and wives' here, are meant the things residing with the type of man called Noah by which he was protected. Such is the most ancient style of the Word, embodying heavenly arcana, a style in which everything connects as history.
