1254、“这些都是挪亚儿子的宗族”表示古教会敬拜的具体方式，这从“宗族”和“儿子的宗族”的含义清楚可知：“宗族”是指敬拜的方式，事实上是指敬拜的具体类型。本章前几节提到的民族只表示古教会敬拜的各种方式，因此组成民族的“宗族”没有其它意思。就内义而言，所表示的只能是属灵和属天事物的宗族，而不是其它宗族。

[NCE]1254. The symbolism of these are the clans of Noah's sons, as the specific ways in which the ancient church worshiped can be seen from the symbolism of a clan, and of a clan of sons, as ways to worship and in fact as specific types of worship.
The nations named in the earlier parts of this chapter only symbolized various ways in which the ancient church worshiped, so the clans that composed the nations cannot have any other meaning. The inner sense cannot be referring to any other clans than those of spiritual and heavenly traits.

1254. These are the families of the sons of Noah. That this signifies the worships of the Ancient Church in particular, is evident from the signification of a "family," and of "the families of the sons," as being worships, and in fact the species of the worships. The nations named in the preceding verses of this chapter signify nothing else than various worships of the Ancient Church, and therefore the families of which the nations consisted must signify the same. In the internal sense no other families can be meant than those of things spiritual and celestial.
Elliott(1983-1999) 1254
1254. That 'these are the families of the sons of Noah' means the forms of worship of the Ancient Church in particular is clear from the meaning of 'families' and of 'families of sons' as forms of worship, and indeed specific forms of worship. The nations mentioned in previous verses of this chapter have meant nothing other than various forms of worship in the Ancient Church and therefore 'the families' which composed the nations can have no other meaning. In the internal sense no other families than those of spiritual and celestial things can possibly be meant.

1254. 'Hae familiae filiorum Noahi': quod significent cultus Ecclesiae Antiquae in particulari, constat a significatione 'familiae et familiae filiorum' quod sint cultus, et quidem quod species cultuum: in praecedentibus hujus capitis gentes nominatae nihil aliud significarunt quam varios Ecclesiae Antiquae cultus, quare 'familiae' ex quibus gentes constabant, nec possunt aliud significare; in sensu interno nusquam intelligi queunt aliae familiae quam spiritualium et caelestium.
