1 Mose 49:15

Study

       

15 Und er sah die Ruhe, daß sie gut ist, und das Land, daß es lustig ist; da hat er seine Schultern geneigt, zu tragen, und ist ein zinsbarer Knecht geworden.

from the Writings of Emanuel Swedenborg

 

Arcana Coelestia #6403

Studere hoc loco

6403. Verse 19 Gad - a troop will ravage him, and he will ravage the heel.

'Gad' means works motivated by truth but not as yet by good. 'A troop will ravage him' means that works performed without judgement will dislodge him from a state of truth. 'And he will ravage the heel' means consequent disorder in the natural.
