8661. 'I your father-in-law Jethro [come to you], and your wife, and her two sons with her' means levels of God's good in their order. This is clear from the representation of Jethro, the father-in-law of Moses, as Divine Good, dealt with in 8643, 8644; from the representation of Zipporah, the wife of Moses, as good originating in that Divine Good and joined to God's truth, dealt with in 8647; and from the representation of 'her sons' as forms of the good of truth, dealt with in 8649 8651. Thus they are levels of good in their order. Levels of good in their order are interior and exterior forms of good that come in order one after another - in degrees, about which see 3691, 4154, 5114, 5145, 5146, 8603.
