Exodus 21:10

Study

       

10 Indien hij voor zich een andere neemt, zo zal hij aan deze haar spijs, haar deksel, en haar huwelijksplicht niet onttrekken.

from the Writings of Emanuel Swedenborg

 

Arcana Coelestia #9091

Studere hoc loco

  
/ 10837  
  

9091. 'And it dies' means so severely that the good affection perishes. This is clear from the meaning of 'dying' as perishing; and from the meaning of 'the ox that has died from the blow struck by the other ox' as a good affection, dealt with immediately above in 9090.
