6070. 'And from his brothers' party he took five men' means some of the truths of the Church. This is clear from the representation of Jacob's sons, to whom 'brothers' refers here, as the truths of the Church, dealt with in 5403, 5419, 5427, 5458, 5512; and from the meaning of 'five' as some, dealt with in 4638, 5291.
