Génesis 38:28

Study

       

28 Y sucedió, cuando paría, que sacó la mano el uno, y la partera tomó y ató á su mano un hilo de grana, diciendo: Este salió primero.

Arcana Coelestia #4907

Studere hoc loco

4907. 'She was brought out' means near to being carried out, namely to being exterminated. This becomes clear from the meaning of 'being brought out and burnt' as being exterminated, dealt with immediately above in 4906, and here therefore her being brought out to be burnt means near to its extermination being carried out.
