Arcana Coelestia # 9073
9073. 'And it kills a man or a woman' means if it then destroys the truth or the good of faith. This is clear from the meaning of 'killing' as destroying; and from the meaning of 'a man' as the truth of faith, and of 'a woman' as the good of faith, as above in 9065.
Exodus 20:18
18
All the people perceived the thunderings, the lightnings, the sound of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking. When the people saw it, they trembled, and stayed at a distance.
