907. Verse 17. Every wild animal that is with thee of all flesh, as to fowl, and as to beast, and as to every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, bring forth with thee, that they may spread themselves over the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth. “Every wild animal that is with thee of all flesh” signifies all that was made living in the man of this church; “fowl” signifies here as before the things of his understanding; “beast” the things of his will, which are both of the internal man; “every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth” signifies the like corresponding things in the external man; “bring forth with thee” signifies their state of freedom; “that they may spread themselves over the earth” signifies the operation of the internal man upon the external; “and be fruitful” signifies increasings of good; “and multiply” signifies increasings of truth; “upon the earth” signifies in the external man.
