21
Και απεθανε πασα σαρξ κινουμενη επι της γης, των πτηνων και των κτηνων και των ζωων, και παντων των ερπετων των ερποντων επι της γης, και πας ανθρωπος.
Γένεση 7:21
Arcana Coelestia # 764
764. Verse 13 On that very day Noah went in, and Shem and Ham and Japheth, Noah's sons, [and Noah's wife,] and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark.
'They went into the ark' means here, as previously, that they were saved. 'Noah' means what belonged to that Church. 'Shem, Ham, and Japheth' means what belonged to the Churches that derived from it. 'The sons of Noah' means matters of doctrine. ['Noah's wife means the Church itself.] 'The three wives of his sons with them' means the derivative Churches themselves.
