491. The same things are signified by “sons” and “daughters” in this chapter (verses 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 26, 30), but such as is the church, such are the “sons and daughters” that is, such are the goods and truths; the truths and goods here spoken of are such as were distinctly perceived, because they are predicated of the Most Ancient Church, the principal and parent of all the other and succeeding churches.

10337. 'And they shall make all the things that I have commanded you' means Divine Truths derived from the Word, which are to be represented within outward objects. This is clear from the meaning of 'making all the things that I have commanded', when it relates to the Lord, as doing so in accordance with Divine Truths, for Divine Truths are called the commandments of the Lord, 9417; and from the representation of 'Moses' as the Word, dealt with in 9372. The reason why it means that they were to be represented within outward objects was that the things they were to make were representative, and representative objects are outward things within which, as types or images, inner realities are presented. The representative objects which they were to make are listed in verses 7-11 that follow. What representatives are, see in the places referred to in 9280, also 9457, 9481, 9576, 9577, 10149, 10252, 10276.
