[NCE]1253. Genesis 10:32. These are the clans of Noah's sons, by their births, in their nations.
These are the clans of Noah's sons, symbolize the specific ways in which the ancient church worshiped. By their births means insofar as they were able to reform.{*1} In their nations symbolizes the general ways that church worshiped.
Footnotes:
{*1} The Latin word here translated "reform" is reformari, which in Swedenborg's usage refers to the restructuring of our priorities by self-discipline. By contrast, he uses the term regeneration (regeneratio) for the deeper transformation made possible by this restructuring but accomplished by the Lord. For an extended discussion of reformation and regeneration, see True Christianity 571-620. [GFD]
