5641. Bring the men to the house. That this signifies that the truths in the natural mind were to be introduced thither, is evident from the signification of “Jacob’s sons,” as being the truths of the church in the natural (see n. 5403, 5419, 5427, 5458, 5512). Their being introduced there is signified by “bringing the men to the house.”
