Και εισηλθεν ο Νωε, και οι υιοι αυτου, και η γυνη αυτου, και αι γυναικες των υιων αυτου μετ' αυτου, εις την κιβωτον, εξ αιτιας των υδατων του κατακλυσμου.
Γένεση 7:7
Arcana Coelestia #754
754. Verse 11. In the six-hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, in the seventeenth day of the month, in that day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the cataracts of heaven were opened. By “the six hundredth year, the second month, and the seventeenth day” is signified the second state of temptation; “all the fountains of the great deep were broken up” signifies the extreme of temptation as to the things of the will; “the cataracts of heaven were opened” signifies the extreme of temptation as to the things of the understanding.
