5599. Saying, Is your father yet alive? That this signifies and concerning the spiritual good from which they were, is evident from the representation of Israel, who is the “father” here, as being spiritual good (see n. 3654, 4598, 5595). It is said “from which they were” because from this good, as from a father, the truths of faith come down (n. 5598).
