'A raven,' as in Genesis 8:7, signifies falsities. The spiritual self only knows general truths from the Word, and forms its conscience from these, and the general truths of the Word are accommodated to the fallacies of the senses. So countless falsities attach themselves, and insinuate themselves into those general truths, and they cannot be drawn out. These falsities are what 'the raven which went forth in going and returning' signifies. 'Sons of the raven,' as in Psalm 147:8, 9, signify natural people in a dim light arising from fallacies relating to divine truth.
