And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.
713. Verse 2. Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens the man and his wife; and of the beast that is not clean by twos, the man and his wife. By “every clean beast” are signified affections of good; by “sevens” is signified that they are holy; by “man and his wife” that the truths were conjoined with goods. By the “beast not clean” are signified evil affections; by “two” that they are relatively profane; by “man and wife” falsities conjoined with evils.
