7407. And the frogs died out of the houses, out of the courts, and out of the fields. That this signifies that reasonings from mere falsities ceased with them everywhere in the natural, is evident from the signification of “dying,” as being to cease; from the signification of “frogs,” as being reasonings from mere falsities (of which above); from the signification of “the houses,” as being the things of the natural mind (of which above, n. 7397), here which are interior there; from the signification of “the courts,” as being the outward things of the natural mind (that the natural is interior and exterior, see n. 3293, 3294, 4570, 5118, 5497, 5649); and from the signification of “the fields,” as being things more general, thus still more outward, for “fields” are outside the houses and the courts. Thus by “the frogs dying out of the houses, out of the courts, and out of the fields,” is signified that reasonings from mere falsities ceased everywhere in the natural.
