7 וזאת ליהודה ויאמר שמע יהוה קול יהודה ואל עמו תביאנו ידיו רב לו ועזר מצריו תהיה׃

Commentary on this verse  

By Alexander Payne

Verse 7. And it is perceived concerning the love of good thence derived in the natural mind (Arcana Coelestia 5782), that it is the Divine will that all the holy aspirations after good in the natural principle proceeding from the genuine love of good should be cherished; and that the soul should progress to a state in which they can be carried out; and that strength should be given it to accomplish this; and the Lord Himself will help against the evils that assault and try to quench them. [Note. —Judah seems, in the blessing of the tribes in this chapter, to take the usual place of Simeon, who is not mentioned; this is doubtless because a state proceeding from truth or faith (Reuben) is treated of; and not one proceeding primarily from love, which is signified by Judah.]
