1058# “神对挪亚说”象征教会应当了解此事。这一点从事物的整体连贯性中可以清晰地看出，这种连贯性只有在内部的深层意义中才显现。这首先涉及到在教会内那些重生的属灵人，然后是整体上的所有人，最后是可以重生的每个人。这里是结论，即教会应当了解这些事情。此前已经指出，“挪亚”象征教会，特别是在这个语境下，他在总体上代表了属灵教会，因为文中仅提到了挪亚。随后是教会需要理解的具体内容。
1058、“神对挪亚说”表示教会将知道这一点。这从整个思路清楚可知，这种思路只有藉着内义才变得明显，这些细节在内义上就是以这种方式连贯在一起的。首先论述的是教会里面重生的属灵人；其次论述的是全世界所有人；再次论述的是凡能够重生的人。本节是结论，即：教会将知道这一点。前面（529-531，597-598，768，788:1，915节）说过，“挪亚”是指教会，在此尤指总体上的属灵教会，因为经上只提到挪亚的名字。接下来说明教会将知道什么。

[NCE]1058. God said to Noah means that the church would know the following. This is borne out by the sequence of ideas, which are visible only in the inner meaning, where they connect in this way: The first subject is people inside the church who are regenerate and spiritual. The second is everyone throughout the world. The third is everyone who is capable of regenerating. The present verse rounds out the series by saying that the church would know the following. (It was shown earlier that Noah is a church [529-531, 597-598, 768, 788:1, 915]; here he is the spiritual church as a whole, since his name is the only one mentioned.) What the church would know now follows.

1058. And God said unto Noah. That this signifies that the church should know this, is evident from the series of things treated of, which does not appear except from the internal sense, in which these things are thus connected: first, the regenerated spiritual man within the church is treated of; second, every man, universally; third, every man who can be regenerated; and this is the conclusion, namely, that the church should know this. That "Noah" is the church was shown before, and here indeed he is the spiritual church in general, because Noah alone is named. What the church should know, now follows.
Elliott(1983-1999) 1058
1058. That 'God said to Noah' means that the Church would know this is clear from the train of thought, which is not evident except from the internal sense in which these details are knit together in this way. First the subject was the regenerate spiritual person inside the Church; secondly it was everybody throughout the whole world; and thirdly everyone who is able to be regenerated. The present verse is the conclusion to these considerations, namely that the Church would know this. That 'Noah' means the Church has been shown already, and here more especially the spiritual Church in general since Noah's name alone is mentioned. What the Church would know follows next.
Latin(1748-1756) 1058
1058. Quod 'dixit Deus ad Noahum' significet quod hoc scire Ecclesia, constat ex serie rerum, quae non patet nisi a sensu interno in quo haec ita cohaerent; primum actum est de homine regenerat spirituali intra Ecclesiam; secundo, de omni homine in universo; tertio, de omni homine qui regenerari potest; hic est clausula, quod nempe hoc sciret Ecclesia; quod 'Noahus' sit Ecclesia, prius ostensum est, et quidem hic, quod sit Ecclesia spiritualis in genere, quia solus Noahus nominatur; quid sciret nunc sequitur.
