Tu rex regum es : et Deus cæli regnum, et fortitudinem, et imperium, et gloriam dedit tibi :
Daniel 2:37
Arcana Coelestia # 1298
1298. Quod ‘fuit iis later pro lapide’ significet quod falsum iis esset pro vero, constat a significatione ‘lateris’, de qua mox supra, quod sit falsum; tum ex significatione ‘lapidis’ quod sit in lato sensu verum, de quo prius n. 643. Quod ‘lapides’ significaverint verum, causa fuit quod termini antiquissimorum designarentur per lapides et quod erigerent lapides in testes quod ita, seu quod verum, ut constat ex lapide quem posuit Jacobus in statuam, Gen. 28:22; 35:14, et ex statua lapidum inter Labanem et Jacobum, Gen. 31:46, 47, 52, et ex altari quod exstruxerunt filii Reubenis, Gadis et Menassis juxta Jordanem in testem, Jos. 22:10, 28, 34. Inde in Verbo per ‘lapides’ significantur vera, usque adeo ut non solum per lapides altaris, sed etiam per lapides pretiosos super humeris ephodi Aharonis et super pectorali judicii, significata sint sancta vera quae sunt amoris:
[2] quod altare attinet, cum cultus inceptus sacrificiorum super altaribus, tunc ‘altare’ significabat cultum repraesentativum Domini in communi; ipsi autem ‘lapides’ sancta vera illius cultus;
Quare mandatum ut exstrueretur altare ex lapidibus integris, non caesis, et prohibitum ne ferrum moveretur super illis, Deut. 27:5-7; Jos. 8:31;
ex causa quod ‘lapides caesi et super quos ferrum motum’ significarent artificialia, et sic fictitia cultus, hoc est, quae ex proprio, seu ex figmento cogitationis et cordis hominis, quod erat profanare cultum, ut manifeste dicitur Exod. 20:25. Ex eadem causa nec fuit ferrum motum super lapides templi, 1 Reg. 6:7.
[3] Quod lapides pretiosi super humeris ephodi Aharonis et in pectorali judicii similiter significaverint sancta vera, prius n. 114 ostensum est; quod etiam constat apud Esaiam,
Ecce Ego accubare faciam in carbunculo, lapides tuos, et fundabo in sapphiris, et ponam pyropum soles tuos (fenestras), et portas tuas in lapides gemmae, et omnem finem tuum in lapides desiderii; et omnes filii tui docti Jehovae, et multa pax filiorum tuorum, 1 54:11, 12, 13; lapides hic nominati pro sanctis veris, quare dicitur, quod ‘omnes filii tui docti Jehovae’: inde quoque apud Johannem dicitur, Quod fundamenta muri urbis sanctae Hierosolymae essent omni lapide pretioso exornata, quae nominantur, Apoc. 21:19, 20;
‘sancta Hierosolyma’ pro regno Domini in caelis et in terris, cujus ‘fundamenta’ sunt sancta vera. Similiter per tabulas lapidum quibus inscripta fuerunt praecepta Legis seu decem verba, significata sunt sancta vera, quare ex lapide fuerunt, seu fundus illorum fuit lapis, de quibus, Exod. 24:12; 31:18; 34:1; Deut. 5:19 [KJV 5:22]; 10:1, ipsa enim praecepta non sunt nisi vera fidei.
[4] Quia nunc per ‘lapides’ antiquitus significata sunt vera, et dein cum cultus inceptus super statuis, altaribus et in templo, per ‘statuas, altaria, et templum’ significata sunt sancta vera, ideo Dominus quoque dictus ‘Lapis’;
apud Mosen,
Fortis Jacobi, inde Pastor, Lapis Israelis, Gen. 49:24:
apud Esaiam,
Dixit Dominus Jehovih, Ego fundans in Zione Lapidem, Lapidem probationis anguli, pretii, fundamenti fundati, 28:16:
apud Davidem,
Lapis quem reprobarunt architecti, factus est in caput angeli, Ps. 118:22:
similiter apud Danielem,
Per lapidem e petra excisum, qui contrivit statuam Nebuchadnezzaris, 2:34, 35, 45.
[5] Quod ‘lapides’ significent vera, etiam constat apud Esaiam,
Per hoc expiabitur iniquitas Jacobi, et hic erit omnis fructus, removere peccatum suum; cum Posuerit opes lapides altaris sicut lapides calcis dispersos, 27:9;
‘lapides altaris’ pro veris in cultu quae dissipata:
apud eundem,
Complanate viam populi, sternite, sternite semitam, elapidate [e] lapide, 62:10;
‘via et lapis’ pro veris:
apud Jeremiam,
Ego contra te, mons perdens, ... devolvam te de petris et dabo te in montem combustionis; et non sument de te lapidem angulo, aut lapidem fundamentis, 51:25, 26;
ubi de Babele; ‘mons combustionis’ est amor sui; quod ‘non lapis inde’ est quod non verum.

Genesis 6
1
And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
2
That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
3
And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
4
There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
5
And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
6
And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
7
And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
8
But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
9
These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.
10
And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11
The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
12
And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
13
And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
14
Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.
15
And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
16
A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.
17
And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.
18
But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.
19
And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female.
20
Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive.
21
And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.
22
Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.
