1 μη ιδων τον μοσχον του αδελφου σου η το προβατον αυτου πλανωμενα εν τη οδω υπεριδης αυτα αποστροφη αποστρεψεις αυτα τω αδελφω σου και αποδωσεις αυτω

2 εαν δε μη εγγιζη ο αδελφος σου προς σε μηδε επιστη αυτον συναξεις αυτα ενδον εις την οικιαν σου και εσται μετα σου εως αν ζητηση αυτα ο αδελφος σου και αποδωσεις αυτω

3 ουτως ποιησεις τον ονον αυτου και ουτως ποιησεις το ιματιον αυτου και ουτως ποιησεις κατα πασαν απωλειαν του αδελφου σου οσα εαν αποληται παρ' αυτου και ευρης ου δυνηση υπεριδειν

4 ουκ οψη τον ονον του αδελφου σου η τον μοσχον αυτου πεπτωκοτας εν τη οδω μη υπεριδης αυτους ανιστων αναστησεις μετ' αυτου

5 ουκ εσται σκευη ανδρος επι γυναικι ουδε μη ενδυσηται ανηρ στολην γυναικειαν οτι βδελυγμα κυριω τω θεω σου εστιν πας ποιων ταυτα

6 εαν δε συναντησης νοσσια ορνεων προ προσωπου σου εν τη οδω η επι παντι δενδρει η επι της γης νεοσσοις η ωοις και η μητηρ θαλπη επι των νεοσσων η επι των ωων ου λημψη την μητερα μετα των τεκνων

7 αποστολη αποστελεις την μητερα τα δε παιδια λημψη σεαυτω ινα ευ σοι γενηται και πολυημερος εση

8 εαν δε οικοδομησης οικιαν καινην και ποιησεις στεφανην τω δωματι σου και ου ποιησεις φονον εν τη οικια σου εαν πεση ο πεσων απ' αυτου

9 ου κατασπερεις τον αμπελωνα σου διαφορον ινα μη αγιασθη το γενημα και το σπερμα ο εαν σπειρης μετα του γενηματος του αμπελωνος σου

10 ουκ αροτριασεις εν μοσχω και ονω επι το αυτο

11 ουκ ενδυση κιβδηλον ερια και λινον εν τω αυτω

12 στρεπτα ποιησεις σεαυτω επι των τεσσαρων κρασπεδων των περιβολαιων σου α εαν περιβαλη εν αυτοις

13 εαν δε τις λαβη γυναικα και συνοικηση αυτη και μισηση αυτην

14 και επιθη αυτη προφασιστικους λογους και κατενεγκη αυτης ονομα πονηρον και λεγη την γυναικα ταυτην ειληφα και προσελθων αυτη ουχ ευρηκα αυτης παρθενια

15 και λαβων ο πατηρ της παιδος και η μητηρ εξοισουσιν τα παρθενια της παιδος προς την γερουσιαν επι την πυλην

16 και ερει ο πατηρ της παιδος τη γερουσια την θυγατερα μου ταυτην δεδωκα τω ανθρωπω τουτω γυναικα και μισησας αυτην

17 αυτος νυν επιτιθησιν αυτη προφασιστικους λογους λεγων ουχ ευρηκα τη θυγατρι σου παρθενια και ταυτα τα παρθενια της θυγατρος μου και αναπτυξουσιν το ιματιον εναντιον της γερουσιας της πολεως

18 και λημψεται η γερουσια της πολεως εκεινης τον ανθρωπον εκεινον και παιδευσουσιν αυτον

19 και ζημιωσουσιν αυτον εκατον σικλους και δωσουσιν τω πατρι της νεανιδος οτι εξηνεγκεν ονομα πονηρον επι παρθενον ισραηλιτιν και αυτου εσται γυνη ου δυνησεται εξαποστειλαι αυτην τον απαντα χρονον

20 εαν δε επ' αληθειας γενηται ο λογος ουτος και μη ευρεθη παρθενια τη νεανιδι

21 και εξαξουσιν την νεανιν επι τας θυρας οικου πατρος αυτης και λιθοβολησουσιν αυτην οι ανδρες της πολεως αυτης εν λιθοις και αποθανειται οτι εποιησεν αφροσυνην εν υιοις ισραηλ εκπορνευσαι τον οικον του πατρος αυτης και εξαρεις τον πονηρον εξ υμων αυτων

22 εαν δε ευρεθη ανθρωπος κοιμωμενος μετα γυναικος συνωκισμενης ανδρι αποκτενειτε αμφοτερους τον ανδρα τον κοιμωμενον μετα της γυναικος και την γυναικα και εξαρεις τον πονηρον εξ ισραηλ

23 εαν δε γενηται παις παρθενος μεμνηστευμενη ανδρι και ευρων αυτην ανθρωπος εν πολει κοιμηθη μετ' αυτης

24 εξαξετε αμφοτερους επι την πυλην της πολεως αυτων και λιθοβοληθησονται εν λιθοις και αποθανουνται την νεανιν οτι ουκ εβοησεν εν τη πολει και τον ανθρωπον οτι εταπεινωσεν την γυναικα του πλησιον και εξαρεις τον πονηρον εξ υμων αυτων

25 εαν δε εν πεδιω ευρη ανθρωπος την παιδα την μεμνηστευμενην και βιασαμενος κοιμηθη μετ' αυτης αποκτενειτε τον ανθρωπον τον κοιμωμενον μετ' αυτης μονον

26 και τη νεανιδι ου ποιησετε ουδεν ουκ εστιν τη νεανιδι αμαρτημα θανατου οτι ως ει τις επαναστη ανθρωπος επι τον πλησιον και φονευση αυτου ψυχην ουτως το πραγμα τουτο

27 οτι εν τω αγρω ευρεν αυτην εβοησεν η νεανις η μεμνηστευμενη και ο βοηθησων ουκ ην αυτη

28 εαν δε τις ευρη την παιδα την παρθενον ητις ου μεμνηστευται και βιασαμενος κοιμηθη μετ' αυτης και ευρεθη

29 δωσει ο ανθρωπος ο κοιμηθεις μετ' αυτης τω πατρι της νεανιδος πεντηκοντα διδραχμα αργυριου και αυτου εσται γυνη ανθ' ων εταπεινωσεν αυτην ου δυνησεται εξαποστειλαι αυτην τον απαντα χρονον

9470. 'And wool of she-goats' means the good from this, that is to say, from the good of mutual love. The reason why 'wool of she-goats' means this good is that 'a she-goat' means the good of innocence in the external or natural man, 3519, 7840, and therefore 'wool' means the truth belonging to that good. However, since not truth but good is meant, the original language does not actually say 'wool of she-goats', only 'she-goats', as is also the case in other places, such as in the following words in Exodus,

All the skilled 1 women brought what they had spun, violet, purple, twice-dyed scarlet, [and] fine linen thread; and all the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun she-goats. Exodus 35:25-26.

'Spinning she-goats' stands for producing things woven from the wool of she-goats.

[2] The fact that 'wool' means truth from a celestial origin, which in itself is good, is clear from places in the Word where the actual word is used, as in Hosea,

[Their mother has committed whoredom.] She said, I will go after my lovers, those giving me my bread and my water, my wool and my linen. Therefore I will return and take back My grain in its season, and I will snatch away My wool and My linen. Hosea 2:5, 9.

This refers to a corrupted Church, meant here by 'mother'. 'The lovers' with whom she is said to have committed whoredom are those who pervert forms of good and truths. 'Bread' and 'water' mean internal forms of the good of love, and the internal truths of faith; 'wool' and 'flax' mean external ones.

[3] In Daniel,

I saw until thrones were placed, and the Ancient of Days was seated. His clothing was white as snow, and the hair of His head like pure wool. Daniel 7:9.

This refers to the Church laid waste so far as every truth of faith was concerned, and then restored by the Lord, its having been completely laid waste being meant in the words 'thrones were placed'. 'The Ancient of Days' is the Lord in respect of celestial good as this existed in the Most Ancient Church, which was a celestial Church. In the Word that good is called 'ancient', its external truth being meant by clothing which was 'white as snow', and its external good by hair of the head which was 'like pure wool'. Similar words occur in John,

... in the midst of the seven lampstands one like the Son of Man. His head and hair were white, like white wool, like snow. Revelation 1:13-14.

[4] This kind of truth, being in itself good because it is the outward form of celestial good, is again meant by 'wool' in Ezekiel,

Damascus was your merchant in the wine of Helbon and the wool of Zachar. 2 Ezekiel 27:18.

And in Isaiah,

Though your sins are like twice-dyed, they will be as white as snow. Though they are as red as scarlet, they will be as wool. Isaiah 1:18.

[5] Because Aaron's garments represented the kinds of realities that belong to the Lord's spiritual kingdom, thus the spiritual realities that belong to truth, his 'holy garments' were made of linen and not of wool. For 'linen' is spiritual truth, whereas 'wool' is celestial truth, which in comparison is good. On this account it says in Ezekiel,

The priests, the Levites, the sons of Zadok, when they enter the gates of the inner court they shall put on the linen garments, and no wool shall come upon them. The linen turbans shall be on their heads, the linen undergarments shall be over their loins. Ezekiel 44:17-18.

The fact that Aaron's garments were made not of wool but of linen is clear from Leviticus 16:4, 32.

[6] From all this it becomes clear that 'linen' means spiritual truth, which is the truth of the good of faith, whereas 'wool' means celestial truth, which is the truth of the good of love. And since those endued with the latter kind of truth cannot be endued with the former, because the two are as different as the light of the sun is from the light of the stars, it was laid down that no one should wear a garment made of wool and linen mixed together, Deuteronomy 22:10-11. The fact that between what is celestial and what is spiritual there is such a difference, and that both cannot be together in one and the same person, see the places referred to in 9277.

1. literally, wise

2. The Hebrew word which Swedenborg, following the Latin version of Sebastian Schmidt, renders Zachar is not usually considered to be a proper name.
