6584.“玛拿西的儿子玛吉的儿子”表就其意愿及其衍生物而言。这从“玛拿西”的代表，以及他的“儿子”和“儿子的儿子”的含义清楚可知：“玛拿西”是指教会的意愿（参看5351，5353，5354，6222，6238，6267，6296节）；“儿子”和“儿子的儿子”，即此处“玛吉的儿子”，是指衍生物（6583节）。“玛吉的儿子”所表示的教会意愿的衍生物是指与真理结合的良善，因而也指源于良善的真理，因为源于良善的真理是良善的形式。“玛吉的儿子”表示与真理结合的良善，这一点由他们“生养在约瑟的膝上”来表示，如下文所述；他们表示源于良善的真理，这一点可见于士师记：
立法者从玛吉下来。（士师记5:14）
“立法者”表示源于良善的真理（6372节）。

6584. The sons also of Machir the son of Manasseh. That this signifies and in respect to the will and its derivatives, is evident from the representation of Manasseh, as being the will of the church (see n. 5351, 5353, 5354, 6222, 6238, 6267, 6296); and from the signification of his "sons" and "sons' sons," here the "sons of Machir," as being the derivatives (n. 6583); the derivatives of the will of the church-signified by the "sons of Machir"-are goods conjoined with truths, thus also truths from good, for the truths that have been derived from good are forms of good. That the "sons of Machir" denote goods conjoined with truths is signified by their being "born on Joseph's knees," as presently follows; and that they denote truths from good is signified in the book of Judges: "Out of Machir shall come down lawgivers" (Judg. 5:14); "lawgivers" denote truths from good (n. 6372).

6584. 'Also the sons of Machir, Manasseh's son' means and so far as its will and the derivatives from that were concerned. This is clear from the representation of 'Manasseh' as the area of will in the Church, dealt with in 5351, 5357, 5754, 6222, 6238, 6267, 6296; and from the meaning of his sons and his sons' sons, to whom 'the sons of Machir' refers here, as derivatives, as above in 6583. The derivatives of the Church's will, which are meant by 'the sons of Machir', are aspects of good joined to truths, thus truths from good, for truths that have been derived from good are forms of good. As regards 'the sons of Machir', that they are aspects of good joined to truths, this is meant by their being born on Joseph's knees, as stated in what immediately follows; and as regards their being truths from good, this may be seen in the Book of Judges,
Out of Machir lawgivers will come down. Judg 5:14.
'Lawgivers' stands for truths from good, 6372.

6584. `Etiam filii Machir, filii Menashis': quod significet et quoad voluntarium et ejus derivativa, constat ex repraesentatione `Menashis' quod sit {1} voluntarium Ecclesiae, de qua n. 5351, 5353, 5354, 6222, 6238, 6267, 6296; et ex significatione `filiorum et filiorum filiorum ejus' qui hic sunt `filii Machir', quod sint derivativa, ut supra n. 6583: derivativa {2} voluntarii Ecclesiae, quae per `filios Machir' significantur, sunt bona conjuncta cum veris, ita quoque vera ex bono, {3}nam vera quae derivata sunt ex bono, sunt formae boni; quod `filii Machir' sint bona conjuncta cum veris, significatur per quod nati sint super genubus Josephi, ut mox sequitur; et quod sint vera ex bono, in Libro Judicum, Ex Machir descendent legislatores, v 14;{4} legislatores {5}pro veris ex bono, {6} n. 6372. @1 novum$ @2 i novi$ @3 verum ex bono per Machir significatur$ @4 i quod$ @5 sint vera$ @6 i videatur$
