Бытие 8:14

Study

       

14 И во второмъ мјсяцј, къ двадцать седьмому дню мјсяца, осушилась земля.

from the Writings of Emanuel Swedenborg

 

Arcana Coelestia #877

Studere hoc loco

  
/ 10837  
  

877. 'The waters were over the face 1 of the earth' means that falsities were still there to overflowing. This is clear from the meaning of 'the waters of the flood' as falsities, as shown adequately already, and so from the very words themselves.

V:

1. literally, the faces
