9417. And the law and the commandment. That this signifies truth in general and in particular, is evident from the signification of “the law,” as being truth in general; and from the signification of “the commandment,” as being truth in particular. In the Word a distinction is made between “commandments,” “judgments,” and “statutes;” and by “commandments” are meant those things which are of life, by “judgments” those which are of the civil state, and by “statutes” those which are of worship (n. 8972). But all these are called by the general term “law;” and the particulars of the law are called “commandments,” as is evident from many passages in the Word. Consequently when mention is made of “law and commandment,” there is meant truth in general and in particular.
