Slain

  

In Genesis 4:23, this signifies to extinguish faith. (Arcana Coelestia 427)

'The slain of Jehovah' signify people who turn truths into falsities, which causes them to perish.

'The slain,' in Lamentations 2:12 signify people who do not know what the truths of faith mean.

'The slain' when referring to the Lord in Revelation 5 means the separation of everything from the divine. In denial of His divinity, He is spiritually slain to people and this denial causes a state of separation from Him.

4460. 'And [so] spoke, because he had defiled Dinah their sister' means that the first stage in the joining together which could not be anything different was effected through acceptance. This becomes clear from the explanation of the words 'he took her, and lay with her, and ravished her' which meant that there was no other way in which it could be joined to the affection for truth meant by 'the sons of Jacob', who were his brothers, see 4433. The reference here to his defilement of her implies much the same.
