επειδη ετι μετα επτα ημερας εγω φερω βροχην επι της γης τεσσαρακοντα ημερας και τεσσαρακοντα νυκτας· και θελω εξαλειψει απο προσωπου της γης παν ο, τι υπαρχει, το οποιον εποιησα.
Γένεση 7:4
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.
