16
Und so jemand eine Jungfrau betört, die nicht verlobt ist, und liegt bei ihr, so soll er sie gewißlich durch eine Heiratsgabe sich zum Weibe erkaufen.
2 Mose 22:16
Arcana Coelestia＃9190
9190. 'Anyone lying with a beast' means being joined to the evils that belong to the desires of self-love. This is clear from the meaning of 'lying with' as being joined to; and from the meaning of 'a beast' as a good affection with people who are good, and an evil affection with those who are evil, dealt with in 45, 46, 142, 143, 246, 714, 715, 719, 776, 2781, 3518, 3519, 5198, 7424, 7523, 7872, 9090, thus evil desires, at this point the desires of self-love. The term 'evil desires' is used to mean evil affections.
