This is clear from the representation of 'Simeon' as faith in the will, or a will that desires to put the truth of faith into practice, dealt with in 3869-3872, 4497, 4502, 4503, 5482; and from the representation of the sons of Jacob, the ones here to whom he brought out Simeon, as truths known to the Church which were present in the natural, dealt with in 5403, 5419, 5427, 5458, 5512. From this it is evident that 'he brought Simeon out to them' means that he linked to those truths the will to practise them.
