428. Verse 4. And I heard the number of them that were sealed: a hundred and forty and four thousand, sealed out of every tribe [of the sons] of Israel. "And I beard the number of them that were sealed," signifies the quality of those who are in good separated from the evil: "a hundred and forty and four thousand, sealed out of every tribe [of the sons] of Israel," signifies all who are in truths from good, and therefore in the church of the Lord.
