Arcana Coelestia # 2931
2931. 'To let me bury my dead from before me' means that they wished to emerge from night and rise again. This is clear from the meaning of 'burying' as rising again, and of 'one who is dead' as night as regards the goods and truths of faith, dealt with above in 2923, 2925, where the same words occur.
Jeremiah 22:3
3
Thus says Yahweh: Execute justice and righteousness, and deliver him who is robbed out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no wrong, do no violence, to the foreigner, the fatherless, nor the widow; neither shed innocent blood in this place.
