6793. 'And he gave Zipporah his daughter to Moses' means that he linked the good of his Church to it. This is clear from the meaning of 'giving' - that is, giving in marriage - as linking to; from the meaning of 'daughter' as good, dealt with in 489-491, and also as a Church, 2362, 3963, 6729 ('Zipporah' means the essential nature of the good of that Church); and from the representation of 'Moses' as true factual knowledge, dealt with in 6784.
