4450. 'And intermarry with us; give your daughters to us, and take our daughters to yourselves' means the union of goods and truths. This is clear from the meaning of 'intermarrying' as union, dealt with in 4434; from the meaning of 'daughters' as affections, and so goods, dealt with in 489-491, 2362, 3963. Its being a union with truths is meant by 'give to us' and 'take to yourselves', for 'Shechem' and 'the sons of Jacob' mean truths, as shown above. From this it is evident that these words mean the union of goods and truths, that is, that through that union this new Church was to be similar to the Ancient Church not only in outward appearance but also in inward.
