어떤 사람이 그를 만난즉 그가 들에서 방황하는지라 그 사람이 그에게 물어 가로되 `네가 무엇을 찾느냐 ?'
Arcana Coelestia #4707
4707. 'In Shechem' means the broad outlines. This is clear from the meaning of 'Shechem' as truth derived from an ancient Divine stock, dealt with in 4399, 4454, and as doctrine, 4472, 4473. At this point it is the broad outlines of doctrine concerning faith that are meant, for what a name has reference to is determined by the subject of the train of thought in which it appears. The broad outlines are also the general aspects of doctrine, it being general aspects that are received first, then specific details follow after that.
