Arcana Coelestia # 1009
1009. Verse 6 Whoever sheds man's blood in man, his blood shall be shed, for in the image of God He made man.
'Shedding man's blood in man' means destroying charity; 'in man' is residing with man. 'His blood shall be shed' means his condemnation. 'For in the image of God He made man' means charity, which is the image of God.
Arcana Coelestia # 376
376. 'Blood 1 calling out' means guilt. This follows from what is said above, for those who resort to violence are held guilty, as in David,
Evil will slay the wicked, and those who hate the righteous will beheld guilty. Psalms 34:21.
In Ezekiel,
You, the city, have become guilty through the blood you have shed. Ezekiel 22:4.
