Exodus 22:12
Arcana Coelestia # 9134
9134. 'Whether it is ox or ass' means whether it is exterior good or truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'ox' as the good of the natural, dealt with in 2180, 2566, 2781, 2830, 5913, 8397; and from the meaning of 'ass' as the truth of the natural, dealt with in 2781, 5492, 5741. The good of the natural is exterior good, and the truth of the natural is exterior truth.
Ezekiel 20:5-6
5
and tell them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: In the day when I chose Israel, and swore to the seed of the house of Jacob, and made myself known to them in the land of Egypt, when I swore to them, saying, I am Yahweh your God;
6
in that day I swore to them, to bring them forth out of the land of Egypt into a land that I had searched out for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands.
