Genesis 41:31

Study

       

31 And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of the famine following: for it will be very grievous.

from the Writings of Emanuel Swedenborg

 

Arcana Coelestia #5242

Studere hoc loco

5242. And him he hanged. That this signifies that the sensuous of the will part was rejected, is evident from the signification of the “baker,” who is here meant by “him,” as being the sensuous of the will part (of which above); and from the signification of “hanging,” as being to reject (n. 5156, 5167). There is no need to unfold these things any further, because they have been unfolded before, and are here repeated for the sake of the series.
