Arcana Coelestia #1833
1833. Verse 11 And birds of prey came down on the carcasses, and Abram drove them away.
'Birds of prey came down on the carcasses' means evils and derivative falsities that wished to destroy. 'And Abram drove them away' means that the Lord put them to flight.
Leviticus 5:7-8
7
"'If he can't afford a lamb, then he shall bring his trespass offering for that in which he has sinned, two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, to Yahweh; one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering.
8
He shall bring them to the priest, who shall first offer the one which is for the sin offering, and wring off its head from its neck, but shall not sever it completely.
