1344. Verse 15 And Shelah lived after he begot Eber four hundred and three years; and he begot sons and daughters.

'Shelah lived after he begot Eber four hundred and three years' means duration and state, 'Shelah' here, as previously, being that which is the offspring of knowledge, 'Eber' here, as previously, the worship in general of this Church. 'And he begot sons and daughters' means matters of doctrine.
