AE 438 - three universal essentials & the 12 tribes

AE 438
Heaven and the church are constituted, in general, of three universal essentials, namely,
love to the Lord,
charity towards the neighbor,
and the obedience of faith;
love to the Lord
is signified by the first three tribes, Judah, Reuben, and Gad;
charity towards the neighbor
is signified by these three tribes, Asher, Naphtali, and Manasseh;
while the obedience of faith
is signified by the three tribes next names, Simeon, Levi, and Issachar;
the conjunction of all of these with the Lord
is signified by the last three tribes, Zebulun, Joseph, and Benjamin.
This, in brief, is the signification of all these tribes named in this order,
for their signification is determined by the order in which they are named
(as has been said and shown above, n. 431c, 435a, 436).
