22
And if men strive together, and strike a woman with child, so that she be delivered, and no mischief happen, he shall in any case be fined, according as the woman's husband shall impose on him, and shall give it as the judges estimate.
Exodus 21:22
Arcana Coelestia # 9084
9084. And when a man shall open a pit. That this signifies if anyone shall receive falsity from another, is evident from the signification of “a pit,” as being falsity (see n. 4728, 4744, 5038); and from the signification of “opening,” when said of falsity, as being to receive, here from another, because the words follow, “or when a man shall dig a pit,” the meaning of which is, to receive, or to devise of oneself.
