3622. Such as these, of the daughters of the land. That this signifies because not from that ground, that is, from truths of the genuine church, is evident from the signification of “daughters,” as being churches; for “daughters” signify the affections of good and truth (n. 2362); and “land” signifies the region where the church is, thus the church (n. 662, 1066, 1067, 1262, 1733, 1850, 2117, 2118, 2928, 3355); thus the “daughters of the land” are the goods and truths of the church.
