6433. 'And of the womb' means these two - goodness and truth - joined together. This is clear from the meaning of 'the womb' as the inmost centre of conjugial love; and since conjugial love receives its being from the heavenly marriage, which is goodness and truth joined together, 'the womb' means these two joined together. For the meaning of 'the womb' as the inmost centre of conjugial love, see 4918; and for the origin of conjugial love in the heavenly marriage, which is goodness and truth joined together in heaven, 2618, 2728, 2729, 2803, 3132, 4434, 4835, 6179.
