4668.“这些人是雅各的后代”表接下来的事物。这从“后代”的含义清楚可知，“后代”是指那些构成教会之物的衍生物，即源于良善的真理，或源于爱的信；因为就圣言的内义而言，并非指其它后代。这些也是接下来的主题，这就是为何说“雅各的后代”表示接下来的事物。这样的事物就是“后代”的含义，这一点从以下事实也明显可知：下文并未提及后代；相反却描述了约瑟，他的梦，他的兄弟们同谋害他，最后约瑟被带往埃及。“后代”表示这类衍生物（参看1145，1255，1330，3263，3279，3860，3868，4070节）。
Potts(1905-1910) 4668
4668. These are the births of Jacob. That this signifies the things which follow, is evident from the signification of "births," as being the derivations of those things which are of the church, namely, of truth from good, or of faith from love; for no other births are meant in the internal sense of the Word. These are also treated of in what follows, wherefore it is said that the "births of Jacob" denote the things which follow. That such is the signification of "births" is evident also from the fact that no genealogical births are mentioned in what follows; but only Joseph, his dreams, the conspirings of his brothers against him, and at last his being carried away into Egypt. (That "births" denote such derivations, see n. 1145, 1255, 1330, 3263, 3279, 3860, 3868, 4070.)
Elliott(1983-1999) 4668
4668. 'These are the generations of Jacob' means the things that follow. This is clear from the meaning of 'generations' as derivatives of the things which constitute the Church - truth derived from good, or faith from love - for no other generations are meant in the internal sense of the Word. These are also the subject in what follows, and this is why it is said that 'the generations of Jacob' means the things which follow. That things like these are meant by 'generations' is also evident from the fact that in what follows no subsequent generations are recorded. Instead Joseph, his dreams, his brothers' designs against him are described, and lastly the carrying away of him into Egypt. As regards 'generations' meaning derivatives of the kinds of things mentioned above, see 1145, 1255, 1330, 3263, 3279, 3860, 3868, 4070.

4668. `Hae nativitates Jacobi': quod significet illa quae sequuntur, constat a significatione `nativitatum' quod sint derivationes amore, nam non aliae nativitates in sensu interno Verbi intelliguntur; de his quoque in sequentibus {1} agitur, quapropter dicitur quod `nativitates Jacobi' sint illa quae sequuntur; quod talia per nativitates significentur, patet etiam ex eo quod in sequentibus non aliquae nativitates genealogicae memorentur, agitur enim de Josepho, ejus somniis, et fratrum ejus machinationibus contra illum, et tandem de ejus abductione in Aegyptum; quod `nativitates' sint derivationes talium, videatur n. 1145, 1255, 1330, 3263, 3279, 3360, 3868, 4070. @1 illis quae sequuntur$
