Genesis 42:14

Study

       

14 Aga Joosep ütles neile: 'See on nõnda, nagu ma teile olen rääkinud ja öelnud: te olete maakuulajad!

from the Writings of Emanuel Swedenborg

 

Arcana Coelestia #5439

Studere hoc loco

5439. 'And he said to them, No, but the nakedness of the land you have come to see' means that they do not care whether they are truths. This is clear from the meaning of 'coming to see the nakedness of the land' as that nothing would please them more than to know for themselves that they are not truths, dealt with in 5433. Here something similar is meant - that they do not care whether they are truths.
