Génesis 17:8

Study

       

8 Y te daré a ti, y a tu simiente después de ti, la tierra de tus peregrinaciones, toda la tierra de Canaán, en heredad perpetua; y les seré por Dios.

from the Writings of Emanuel Swedenborg

 

Arcana Coelestia #2059

Studere hoc loco

2059. 'He has broken My covenant' means that he cannot be conjoined. This is clear from the meaning of 'a covenant' as conjunction, dealt with already, and so 'breaking a covenant' is cutting oneself off to such an extent that conjunction is not possible.
