Exodus 22:27

Study

       

27 For it is the only thing he has for covering his skin; what is he to go to sleep in? and when his cry comes up to me, I will give ear, for my mercy is great.

from the Writings of Emanuel Swedenborg

 

Arcana Coelestia #9170

9170. He shall repay to its lord. That this signifies restoration in the place of it, is evident from the signification of “repaying,” as being restoration (see n. 9087); and from the signification of “lord,” as being good (n. 9167). Thus by “he shall repay to its lord,” is signified the restoration of truth to good in the place of that which had been taken away.
