2407. 'Saying, Rise up, take your wife and two daughters found [here]' means the truth of faith, and the affections for truth and for good, 'found' meaning that these had been separated from evil. This is clear from the meaning of 'rising up' as being raised up from evil, 2401, also from the meaning of 'wife' here as the truth of faith, dealt with at verse 26 which refers to Lot's wife being turned into a pillar of salt, as well as from the meaning of 'two daughters' as the affections for truth and for good, dealt with in 2362. That 'found' means having been separated from evil becomes clear too, in that they were set free. These few words describe this second state of the Church, which is that members did not allow themselves to be guided from good towards truth, as previously, but to be guided by way of truth towards good, though they still had an obscure affection for good. For to the extent that truth becomes the leader good becomes obscured; but to the extent that good becomes the leader truth is visible in its own light.
