Genesis 6:11

Study

       

11 And the earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was full of violence.

from the Writings of Emanuel Swedenborg

 

Arcana Coelestia #646

Studere hoc loco

646. Verse 15 And thus shall you make it: three hundred cubits the length of the ark, fifty cubits its breadth, and thirty cubits its height. The numbers used here, as previously, mean that remnants were few. 'Length' is their holiness, 'breadth' their truth, and 'height' their good.
