5775.“犹大和他弟兄们来到”表教会的良善及其真理。这从“犹大”和“他弟兄们”的代表清楚可知:“犹大”是指教会的良善(参看5583,5603节);“他弟兄们”是指存在于属世层中的真理。进去与约瑟说话的,之所以是犹大,而不是长子流便,或他们当中的其他任何人,是因为“犹大”主要代表良善;与来自神性的属天层进行交流的,正是良善,而非真理。因为真理若不通过良善,与神性不会有任何交流。这就是为何唯独犹大说话的原因。

5775. And Judah and his brethren entered. That this signifies the good of the church with its truths, is evident from the representation of Judah, as being the good of the church (see n. 5583, 5603); and from the representation of his brethren, as being truths in the natural. That Judah entered and spoke with Joseph, and not Reuben the firstborn, or any other of them, is because Judah chiefly represented good; and it is good that communicates with the celestial from the Divine, and not truths, because truths have no communication with the Divine except through good. This is the reason why Judah alone spoke.

5775. 'And Judah and his brothers entered' means the good of the Church and the accompanying truths. This is clear from the representation of 'Judah' as the good of the Church, dealt with in 5583, 5603; and from the representation of 'his brothers' as truths present in the natural. The reason Judah, and not Reuben the firstborn or any of the others, went in and spoke to Joseph is that primarily 'Judah' represented good, and good is what communicates with the celestial from the Divine, not truths. For truths do not have any communication with the Divine except through good. This is the reason why no one but Judah spoke.

5775. `Et intravit Jehudah et fratres ejus': quod significet bonum Ecclesiae cum veris suis, constat a repraesentatione `Jehudae' quod sit bonum Ecclesiae, de qua n. 5583, 5603; et ex repraesentatione `fratrum ejus' quod {1} sint vera in naturali. Quod Jehudah intravit et locutus cum Josepho, non autem Reuben primogenitus, aut alius ex illis, est quia `Jehudah' principaliter repraesentabat bonum, et bonum est quod communicat cum caelesti ex Divino, non autem vera, nam vera nullam communicationem habent cum Divino nisi per bonum; inde est quod Jehudah solus locutus. @1 i respective$
