769、“挪亚的儿子”表示教义。这从“儿子”的含义清楚可知,如前所示(518,570节)。事实上,没有教义,就不可能有教会。因此,他们不仅被赋予名字,经上还补充说,他们是他的“儿子”。

[NCE]769. The symbolism of Noah's sons as doctrinal teachings is established by the meaning of sons, dealt with earlier [518, 570]. The church could not exist without doctrinal teachings, so the sons are not simply named, but the fact that they were Noah's sons is added.
Potts(1905-1910) 769
769. That by the "sons of Noah" are signified doctrinal things, is evident from the signification of "sons" as shown before; for there can be no church without doctrinal things. And therefore they are not only named, but it is also added that they are his "sons."
Elliott(1983-1999) 769
769. 'The sons of Noah' means matters of doctrine. This is clear from the meaning of 'sons' dealt with already. Indeed a Church cannot exist without doctrines; hence not only are their names given but the phrase 'his sons' is added as well.
Latin(1748-1756) 769
769. Quod per 'filios Noahi' significentur doctrinalia, constat a significatione 'filiorum,' de qua prius; Ecclesia enim non dari potest absque doctrinalibus; quare etiam non solum nominantur, sed etiam additur, quod 'filii ejus.'
