6738.“说,这是希伯来人的一个孩子”表它属于真正的教会。这从“希伯来人”的含义清楚可知,“希伯来人”是指构成教会的事物(参看6675,6684节),因此“希伯来人的孩子”表示那些属于真正教会的人。“希伯来人”之所以表示构成教会的事物,是因为当古教会走到尽头时,希伯来教会,即第二代古教会,就开始了。该教会保留了大量古教会的代表形式和有意义的符号;它也承认耶和华。正因如此,“希伯来人”表示教会。关于希伯来教会,可参看前文(1238,1241,1343,4516,4517,4874,5136节)。

6738. And she said, This is one of the Hebrews' children. That this signifies that it was of the church itself, is evident from the signification of "the Hebrews," as being the things of the church (see n. 6675, 6684); thus the "children of the Hebrews" denote those who are of the church itself. That the "Hebrews" signify the things of the church, is because when the Ancient Church ceased, the Hebrew Church, which was the second Ancient Church, began. This church retained many of the representatives and significatives of the Ancient Church, and also acknowledged Jehovah; hence it is that by the "Hebrews" is signified the church. (Concerning the Hebrew Church, see n. 1238, 1241, 1343, 4516, 4517, 4874, 5136.)

6738. 'And said, This is one of the children of the Hebrews' means that it belonged to the true Church. This is clear from the meaning of 'the Hebrews' as the things that constitute the Church, dealt with in 6675, 6684, so that 'the children of the Hebrews' means those who belong to the true Church. The reason why 'the Hebrews' means the things that constitute the Church is that when the Ancient Church came to an end, the Hebrew Church began, which was the second Ancient Church. This Church retained a large number of the representative forms and meaningful signs of the Ancient Church; and it also acknowledged Jehovah. Here is why 'the Hebrews' means the Church. Regarding the Hebrew Church, see 1238, 1241, 1743, 4516, 4517, 4874, 5136, 6739,

6738. `Et dixit, De natis Hebraeorum hic': quod significet quod ab ipsa Ecclesia esset, constat ex significatione `Hebraeorum' quod sint illa quae Ecclesiae, de qua n. 6675, 6684; ita `nati Hebraeorum' sunt qui ab ipsa Ecclesia. Quod `Hebraei' significent illa quae sunt Ecclesiae, est quia cum desiit Antiqua Ecclesia, incepit Ecclesia Hebraea, quae erat altera Ecclesia Antiqua; haec Ecclesia plura ex repraesentativis et significativis Ecclesiae Antiquae retinuit, et quoque Jehovam agnovit; inde est quod per `Hebraeos' significetur Ecclesia; de Ecclesia Hebraea videatur n. 1238, 1241, 1343, 4516, 4517, 4874, 5136.
