Arcana Coelestia #9023
9023. Verses 18-21 And when men quarrel, and a man strikes his companion with a stone or a fist, and he does not die, and lies down in bed, 1 if he rises up and walks outside on his staff, the striker shall be innocent; but he shall pay for his cessation [from work], 2 and thoroughly cure him 3 . And when a man strikes his male slave or his female slave with a rod, and [the slave] dies under his hand, he shall certainly be avenged. However, if [the slave] stands for a day or two 4 he shall not be avenged, since he is his silver.
'And when men quarrel' means contention among them regarding truths. 'And a man strikes his companion with a stone or a fist' means the weakening of one [particular truth] by some factual truth or by some general truth. 'And he does not die' means, and it is not wiped out. 'And lies down in bed' means separated in the natural. 'If he rises up and walks outside on his staff' means strength of life in that truth. 'The striker shall be innocent' means being not guilty of evil. 'But he shall pay for his cessation [from work]' means making good again. 'And thoroughly cure him' means restoration. 'And when a man strikes his male slave or his female slave with a rod' means if anyone within the Church mistreats a factual truth or an affection for it from his own power. 'And [the slave] dies under his hand' means so that it is wiped out under his contemplation. 'He shall certainly be avenged' means the punishment of death. 'However, if he stands for a day or two' means a state of life remaining until it is full. 'He shall not be avenged' means no punishment of death. 'Since he is his silver' means that which has been acquired from the self.

Zechariah 3
1
And he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him.
2
And the LORD said to Satan, the LORD rebuke thee, O Satan; even the LORD that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?
3
Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel.
4
And he answered and spoke to those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And to him he said, Behold, I have caused thy iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment.
5
And I said, Let them set a fair miter upon his head. So they set a fair miter upon his head, and clothed him with garments. And the angel of the LORD stood by.
6
And the angel of the LORD protested to Joshua, saying,
7
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; If thou wilt walk in my ways, and if thou wilt keep my charge, then thou shalt also judge my house, and shalt also keep my courts, and I will give thee places to walk among these that stand by.
8
Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou and thy fellows that sit before thee: for they are men wondered at: for behold, I will bring forth my servant the BRANCH.
9
For behold, the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes; behold, I will engrave the graving of it saith the LORD of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.
10
In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall ye call every man his neighbor under the vine and under the fig-tree.
