7565. 'Left his servants and his livestock in the field' means that they were not stored away and placed in safe keeping. This is clear from the meaning of 'being left in the field' as being destroyed by the falsities arising from evils that are meant by 'the hail from which they would die', 7559-7561. These are things that were not stored away and placed in safe keeping, being the truths and forms of good which are not the Lord's, spoken of immediately above in 7564. 'Servants' means the things in the natural mind, 7562, 7563, and 'livestock' the truths and forms of good which, since they are not the Lord's, cannot be stored away interiorly.
