6241. 'They will be called by the name of their brothers in their inheritance' means that they will be of the same essential nature as that of the Church's truths and forms of good, and will exist together among them. This is clear from the meaning of 'the name' and 'being called by the name' as the essential nature, dealt with in 144, 145, 1754, 1896, 2009, 2724, 3006, 3421; from the representation of Ephraim and Manasseh, to whom 'brothers' refers here, as the Church's understanding and will, 3969, 5354, 6212, thus its truth and good, 6234; and from the meaning of 'in their inheritance' as existing together among them.
