属天的奥秘 # 7781
7781. “以及一切头生的牲畜” 表信之被玷污的良善. 这从 “头生的” 和 “牲畜” 的含义清楚可知: “头生的” 是指信; “牲畜” 是指对良善的情感, 在反面意义上是指对邪恶的情感 (参看45, 46, 142, 143, 246, 714, 715, 719, 776, 2179, 2180, 3519, 5198节). “牲畜” 具有这种含义是由于来世的代表 (3218节). 因此, 用于祭祀的牲畜也表示这类事物 (2180, 2805, 2807, 2830, 3519节). 由于 “牲畜” 具有这种含义, 所以 “头生的牲畜” 表示真理之良善, 在此表示被玷污的良善, 因为它属于埃及人, 而埃及人因将一切真理和良善用于邪恶的目的或功用而败坏了它们.
