Genesis 11:7

Study

       

7 Come, let us go down and take away the sense of their language, so that they will not be able to make themselves clear to one another.

from the Writings of Emanuel Swedenborg

 

Arcana Coelestia #1347

1347. Verse 18. And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu. “And Peleg lived thirty years,” signifies the beginning of the fifth state; “Peleg” signifies the same here as before; “and begat Reu,” signifies a derivation therefrom. Reu was a nation so named from him as its father, whereby there is signified a worship still more external.
