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.

2233. That 'house' means people governed by goods is clear from the meaning of 'house' as good, dealt with in 710, 1708, 2048. In a similar way 'house', or those born in the house, means in the abstract sense goods, but when used in reference to man it is all who are governed by goods.
