4498. 'Dinah's brothers' means the truths and goods of that Church. This is clear from the meaning of 'brothers' as truths and goods, or faith and charity, dealt with in 367, 3303, 3803, 3815, 4121, 4191, 4267, and from the representation of 'Dinah' as the affection for truth, and therefore the Church, dealt with in 3963, 3964, 4427.
