31
Ay mangyayari nga na pagka kaniyang nakitang ang bata ay di namin kasama, na mamamatay siya: at ibababa sa Sheol na may kapanglawan ng iyong mga lingkod ang mga uban ng iyong lingkod na aming ama.
Genesis 44:31
Arcana Coelestia # 5755
5755. 'Far be it from your servants to do a thing such as this' means when this thing - laying claim to truth as their own - is not the intention of their will. This is clear from the meaning of 'doing' as the intention of the will, for all deeds are acts of the will. A deed is in itself something natural, whereas the will is something spiritual from which the deed springs. 'Far be it from your servants' means it is not so - not intended by the will.
