742、“儿子”表示真理，“妻子”表示良善，“儿媳”表示与良善结合的真理。这在前一章（6:18，668节）已经解释了，那里也出现了这几个词。真理和良善（尽管在此被称为“儿子”和“妻子”）由那些存在于被称为“挪亚”的那种人里面的事物来表示，他通过这些事物得到保护。这是圣言的上古风格，它虽以历史的形式连贯起来，却包含天上的奥秘。

[NCE]742. The fact that Noah's sons symbolize truth, his wife goodness, and the sons' wives truth united to good came up before at Genesis 6:18 [668], where the same words appear.
Although this verse speaks of Noah's sons, of his wife, and of his sons' wives, the truth and goodness they symbolize are protective truth and goodness in the people themselves referred to as Noah. Such was the mode in which the earliest people wrote the Word, weaving heavenly secrets together to form a story.
Potts(1905-1910) 742
742. That by "sons" are signified truths, by "wife" goods, and by "sons' wives" truths conjoined with goods, has been explained before at the eighteenth verse of the preceding chapter, where the same words occur. By truths and goods (though here called "sons" and "wives") are meant those things which were in the man called "Noah" and by means of which he was protected. Such is the most ancient style of the Word, connected in the manner of history, but involving heavenly arcana.
Elliott(1983-1999) 742
742. 'Sons' means truths, 'wife' goods, 'sons' wives' truths joined to goods. This has been stated already at verse 18 of the previous chapter where the same words occur. By truths and goods, though called 'sons and wives' here, are meant the things residing with the type of man called Noah by which he was protected. Such is the most ancient style of the Word, embodying heavenly arcana, a style in which everything connects as history.
Latin(1748-1756) 742
742. Quod per 'filios' significentur vera, per 'uxorem' bona, per 'uxores filiorum' vera conjuncta bonis, prius cap. praec. ad vers. 18 dictum, ubi eadem verba: per vera et bona, tametsi hic vocantur 'filii et uxores,' significantur illa quae apud hominem Noahus dictum fuerunt, per quae tutatus. Talis est stilus Verbi antiquissimus, involvens arcana caelestia, qui historice connexus.
