6364. Thy brethren shall celebrate thee. That this signifies that this church is eminent above the rest, is evident from the signification of “being celebrated,” as being to be eminent; from the representation of Judah, here meant by “thee,” as being the celestial church (see n. 6363); and from the signification of “brethren,” as being the truths of this church, thus also the churches which are in these truths, and which are represented by the brethren of Judah, for truths and goods constitute the church. The truths of the celestial church are signified by “thy brethren,” that is, the brethren of Judah; but the truths of the spiritual church by the “sons of his father” (see n. 6366).
