9876. 'Twelve according to their names' means each one without exception. This is clear from the meaning of 'twelve' as all, dealt with in 3272, 3858, 3913, 7973; and from the meaning of 'the names of the sons of Israel' as forms of good and truths in their entirety in accord with their entire essential nature, dealt with in 9875.
