6283. 'And in them will my name be called' means that in them the essential nature of the good of spiritual truth from the natural will be present. This is clear from the meaning of 'one's name being called in another' as the essential nature of one in the other, dealt with in 1754, 1896, 2009, 3421; and from the representation of 'Israel' as the good of spiritual truth from the natural, dealt with above in 6277. And since they had within them Israel's essential nature they were accepted among the rest of Jacob's sons and became tribes, one the tribe of Manasseh, the other the tribe of Ephraim. Along with the rest - though excluding the tribe of Levi because it became the priesthood - they made up the twelve tribes when inheritances were allotted to them, as described in Joshua and also Ezekiel 48.

72. Internal Meaning of Jeremiah, Chapter 6

Those who have conjunction with the Lord in the lowest heaven; these are meant by the children of Benjamin. (2, 3)

1-2 The church among them is destroyed by falsities of evil. (2)

2-3 They no longer have truth and good, but falsity and evil, and these destroy them. (2, 3)

6-7 By means of these the church amongst them is destroyed. (2)

8-9 There are still some truths; let them beware lest they destroy them; (2)

10 but they hearken not. (3)

11 Therefore all things are being destroyed. (3)

12 Thus others are being received in their stead. (11)

13-14 Because everything there has been so perverted that there is no protection against falsity, (3)

15 which they do not acknowledge to be falsities, (3)

16-17 and they repudiate truths, (3)

18-19 therefore they will come to an end; (3)

20 hence they regard the works of their worship as of no value. (3)

21 Destruction comes upon them (3)

22-23 through falsities, from which they reason against the truths of the church. (3)

24-26 Those who are separated and grieve over them. (3)

27-30 The perverse are tested, and found incapable of restoration. (3)
