That this signifies if the new truth also should depart, is evident from the representation of Benjamin, of whom this is said, as being new truth (see n. 5804, 5806, 5809, 5822); and from the signification of "taking him from my faces," as being to estrange from spiritual good, thus to depart. Because this truth is from spiritual good which is "Israel," if it should depart, it would be all over with the good itself; for good takes its quality from truths, and truths take their being from good; thereby they have life together.
