Et interrogavit eum, qui a rege potestatem acceperat, quam ob causam tam crudelis sententia a facie regis esset egressa. Cum ergo rem indicasset Arioch Danieli,
Daniel 2:15
Arcana Coelestia #1298
1298. Quod ‘fuit iis later pro lapide’ significet quod falsum iis esset pro vero, constat a significatione ‘lateris’, de qua mox supra, quod sit falsum; tum ex significatione ‘lapidis’ quod sit in lato sensu verum, de quo prius n. 643. Quod ‘lapides’ significaverint verum, causa fuit quod termini antiquissimorum designarentur per lapides et quod erigerent lapides in testes quod ita, seu quod verum, ut constat ex lapide quem posuit Jacobus in statuam, Gen. 28:22; 35:14, et ex statua lapidum inter Labanem et Jacobum, Gen. 31:46, 47, 52, et ex altari quod exstruxerunt filii Reubenis, Gadis et Menassis juxta Jordanem in testem, Jos. 22:10, 28, 34. Inde in Verbo per ‘lapides’ significantur vera, usque adeo ut non solum per lapides altaris, sed etiam per lapides pretiosos super humeris ephodi Aharonis et super pectorali judicii, significata sint sancta vera quae sunt amoris:
[2] quod altare attinet, cum cultus inceptus sacrificiorum super altaribus, tunc ‘altare’ significabat cultum repraesentativum Domini in communi; ipsi autem ‘lapides’ sancta vera illius cultus;
Quare mandatum ut exstrueretur altare ex lapidibus integris, non caesis, et prohibitum ne ferrum moveretur super illis, Deut. 27:5-7; Jos. 8:31;
ex causa quod ‘lapides caesi et super quos ferrum motum’ significarent artificialia, et sic fictitia cultus, hoc est, quae ex proprio, seu ex figmento cogitationis et cordis hominis, quod erat profanare cultum, ut manifeste dicitur Exod. 20:25. Ex eadem causa nec fuit ferrum motum super lapides templi, 1 Reg. 6:7.
[3] Quod lapides pretiosi super humeris ephodi Aharonis et in pectorali judicii similiter significaverint sancta vera, prius n. 114 ostensum est; quod etiam constat apud Esaiam,
Ecce Ego accubare faciam in carbunculo, lapides tuos, et fundabo in sapphiris, et ponam pyropum soles tuos (fenestras), et portas tuas in lapides gemmae, et omnem finem tuum in lapides desiderii; et omnes filii tui docti Jehovae, et multa pax filiorum tuorum, 1 54:11, 12, 13; lapides hic nominati pro sanctis veris, quare dicitur, quod ‘omnes filii tui docti Jehovae’: inde quoque apud Johannem dicitur, Quod fundamenta muri urbis sanctae Hierosolymae essent omni lapide pretioso exornata, quae nominantur, Apoc. 21:19, 20;
‘sancta Hierosolyma’ pro regno Domini in caelis et in terris, cujus ‘fundamenta’ sunt sancta vera. Similiter per tabulas lapidum quibus inscripta fuerunt praecepta Legis seu decem verba, significata sunt sancta vera, quare ex lapide fuerunt, seu fundus illorum fuit lapis, de quibus, Exod. 24:12; 31:18; 34:1; Deut. 5:19 [KJV 5:22]; 10:1, ipsa enim praecepta non sunt nisi vera fidei.
[4] Quia nunc per ‘lapides’ antiquitus significata sunt vera, et dein cum cultus inceptus super statuis, altaribus et in templo, per ‘statuas, altaria, et templum’ significata sunt sancta vera, ideo Dominus quoque dictus ‘Lapis’;
apud Mosen,
Fortis Jacobi, inde Pastor, Lapis Israelis, Gen. 49:24:
apud Esaiam,
Dixit Dominus Jehovih, Ego fundans in Zione Lapidem, Lapidem probationis anguli, pretii, fundamenti fundati, 28:16:
apud Davidem,
Lapis quem reprobarunt architecti, factus est in caput angeli, Ps. 118:22:
similiter apud Danielem,
Per lapidem e petra excisum, qui contrivit statuam Nebuchadnezzaris, 2:34, 35, 45.
[5] Quod ‘lapides’ significent vera, etiam constat apud Esaiam,
Per hoc expiabitur iniquitas Jacobi, et hic erit omnis fructus, removere peccatum suum; cum Posuerit opes lapides altaris sicut lapides calcis dispersos, 27:9;
‘lapides altaris’ pro veris in cultu quae dissipata:
apud eundem,
Complanate viam populi, sternite, sternite semitam, elapidate [e] lapide, 62:10;
‘via et lapis’ pro veris:
apud Jeremiam,
Ego contra te, mons perdens, ... devolvam te de petris et dabo te in montem combustionis; et non sument de te lapidem angulo, aut lapidem fundamentis, 51:25, 26;
ubi de Babele; ‘mons combustionis’ est amor sui; quod ‘non lapis inde’ est quod non verum.

Isaiah 51:1-16
1
"Listen to me, you who follow after righteousness, you who seek Yahweh: look to the rock you were cut from, and to the hold of the pit you were dug from.
2
Look to Abraham your father, and to Sarah who bore you; for when he was but one I called him, and I blessed him, and made him many.
3
For Yahweh has comforted Zion; he has comforted all her waste places, and has made her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of Yahweh; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.
4
"Attend to me, my people; and give ear to me, my nation: for a law shall go forth from me, and I will establish my justice for a light of the peoples.
5
My righteousness is near, my salvation is gone forth, and my arms shall judge the peoples; the islands shall wait for me, and on my arm shall they trust.
6
Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look on the earth beneath; for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment; and those who dwell therein shall die in the same way: but my salvation shall be forever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.
7
"Listen to me, you who know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; don't fear the reproach of men, neither be dismayed at their insults.
8
For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool; but my righteousness shall be forever, and my salvation to all generations."
9
Awake, Awake, put on strength, arm of Yahweh; Awake, as in the days of old, the generations of ancient times. Isn't it you who cut Rahab in pieces, who pierced the monster?
10
Isn't it you who dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep; who made the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to pass over?
11
The ransomed of Yahweh shall return, and come with singing to Zion; and everlasting joy shall be on their heads: they shall obtain gladness and joy; [and] sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
12
"I, even I, am he who comforts you: who are you, that you are afraid of man who shall die, and of the son of man who shall be made as grass;
13
and have forgotten Yahweh your Maker, who stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and fear continually all the day because of the fury of the oppressor, when he makes ready to destroy? and where is the fury of the oppressor?
14
The captive exile shall speedily be freed; and he shall not die [and go down] into the pit, neither shall his bread fail.
15
For I am Yahweh your God, who stirs up the sea, so that its waves roar: Yahweh of Armies is his name.
16
I have put my words in your mouth, and have covered you in the shadow of my hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and tell Zion, 'You are my people.'"
