As with most common verbs, the spiritual meaning of “crying” or “crying out” (meaning a shout or wail, not weeping) is highly dependent on context. Who is crying out? To whom? Why? In most cases, though, crying has to do with speaking falsely, and of the emotions arising from the conflict between truth and falsity. When people cry out in distress it is most often an indication that they are being overwhelmed by false ideas. In other cases – especially regarding more joyful cries – it is a celebration of the triumph of truth.

1341. Verse 13 And Arpachshad lived after he begot Shelah four hundred and three years; and he begot sons and daughters.

'Arpachshad lived after he begot Shelah four hundred and three years' means duration and state, 'Arpachshad' here, as previously, meaning knowledge, and 'Shelah' that which is the offspring of knowledge. 'And he begot sons and daughters' means matters of doctrine.
