5641. 'Bring the men to the house' means that the truths in the natural were to be introduced into it. This is clear from the meaning of 'the sons of Jacob' as the truths known to the Church that were present in the natural, dealt with in 5403, 5419, 5427, 5428, 5512 - their introduction into the external Church being meant by 'bring them to the house'.
