3144. 'And the man came to the house' means influx into the good there. This is clear from the meaning of 'coming' here as flowing in, and from the meaning of 'a house' as good, dealt with in 2233, 2234, 2559.

2234. That 'the way' means doctrine is clear from the meaning of 'a way'. 'A way' in the Word is used in reference to truths, because truths lead to good and go forth from good, as is made clear from the places quoted in Volume One, in 627. And because a way is used in reference to truths, 'a way' is doctrine since doctrine taken as a whole embraces all those things which lead to good, that is, to charity.
