Ով որ հարուածի իր հօրը կամ մօրը, մահապատժի թող ենթարկուի:
9065. 'And when an ox strikes a man or a woman with its horn' means if an affection for evil in the natural injures the truth or the good of faith. This is clear from the meaning of 'striking with the horn' as injuring, for 'the horn' means the power of falsity arising from evil, 2832, and 'striking' means injuring; from the meaning of 'an ox' as an affection for good in the natural, dealt with in 2180, 2566, 2781, 2830, 5913, 8937, and therefore in the contrary sense as an affection for evil in the natural; from the meaning of 'a man' as the truth of faith, dealt with in 9034; and from the meaning of 'a woman' as the good of faith, dealt with in 4823, 6014, 8337.
6014. 'And their wives' means aspects of charity too. This is clear from the meaning of 'wives' (mulier) as forms of good when their husbands (vir) are truths, dealt with in 4823, consequently aspects of charity since all forms of spiritual good have to do with charity towards the neighbour, and all forms of celestial good are aspects of love to the Lord.
