1235. Verse 24. And Arpachshad begat Shelah; and Shelah begat Eber. “Arpachshad” was a nation so called, by which is signified memory-knowledge; “Shelah” likewise was a nation so called, by which is signified that which is derived from this memory-knowledge; by “Eber” also a nation is signified, the father of which was Eber, one who was called by this name, by whom there is signified a second Ancient Church, which was separate from the former one.
