3124. 'Jehovah has led me to the house of my master's brethren' means to good, the source of truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'brethren's house' from which Rebekah came, as good from which truth springs. For 'the house of the brethren' means good, here the good from which truth springs, as is clear from the meaning of 'a house' as good, dealt with in 2233, 2234, 2559, and of 'brethren' as the source of that good from which truth springs, represented by Rebekah.

Foot

  

The foot, as in Deuteronomy 33:3, signifies an inferior principle. To set the right foot on the sea and the left on the earth, as in Revelation 10:2, signifies that the Lord has the universal church under His intuition and dominion.
