Exodus 22:31

Study

       

31 You are to be holy men to me: the flesh of no animal whose death has been caused by the beasts of the field may be used for your food; it is to be given to the dogs.

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.
