Arcana Coelestia #9098
9098. Verse Exodus 21:37 1 When a man steals an ox or a member of the flock, and slaughters it or sells it, he shall repay five oxen for the ox, and four of the flock for the member of the flock.
'When a man steals an ox or a member of the flock' means whoever takes away from someone his good, exterior or interior. 'And slaughters it' means [if] he wipes it out. 'Or sells it' means, or if he alienates it. 'He shall repay five oxen for the ox' means the corresponding punishment, carried to a great degree. 'And four of the flock for the member of the flock' also means the corresponding punishment, carried out in full.
