1221. 'He was the father of all the sons of Eber' means that this second Ancient Church and what belonged to it arose from the previous Ancient Church as its father. This likewise will be clear from what follows below regarding Eber and this Church, for Eber forms the subject in verses 24-30 of the present chapter, and from verse 11 to the end of the next.
