Exodus 34:15

Study

       

15 lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and then, when they go a whoring after their gods, and sacrifice unto their gods, thou be invited, and eat of their sacrifice,

from the Writings of Emanuel Swedenborg

 

Arcana Coelestia #10665

10665. 'All the firstborn of your sons you shall redeem' means that the truths of faith devoid of good are not to be ascribed to the Lord. This is clear from what has been stated and shown in 8080, where similar words likewise occur.
