25
At nagkaanak si Heber ng dalawang lalake; ang pangalan ng una'y Peleg; sapagka't sa mga araw niya'y nahati ang lupa; at ang pangalan ng kaniyang kapatid ay Joctan.
Genesis 10:25
Arcana Coelestia #1223
1223. Verse 22 The sons of Shem: Elam, and Asshur, and Arpachshad, and Lud, and Aram.
Here, as previously, Shem means the internal Church. 'The sons of Shem' means the attributes of wisdom. 'Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram' were just so many nations who mean the attributes of wisdom -'Elam' means faith stemming from charity, 'Asshur' derivative reason, 'Arpachshad' derivative knowledge, 'Lud' cognitions of truth, and 'Aram' cognitions of good.
