The church also in general is like a man, and is so called. Moreover, in the church which...

Hence appetite corresponds to t...

Tamar's asking for his sig...

5002. To be with her. That this signifies lest in this way it should be united, is evident from the signification of "being with" anyone, as being to be more closely conjoined, or to be united.
