1339. Verse 12 And Arpachshad lived thirty-five years, and he begot Shelah.

'Arpachshad lived thirty-five years' means the beginning of the second state of this Church, and also the second state itself, 'Arpachshad' here, as previously, meaning knowledge. 'And he begot Shelah' means a derivative from that, 'Shelah' being a nation so named which means that which comes from knowledge.
