Commentarius

 

Nails of the fingers

  

In Deuteronomy 21:12, to pare the nails signifies to purify external falsities or that natural truth purified from falsities is adopted by good. (Arcana Coelestia 3703[16])

In Daniel 4:33, this signifies to become very sensuous. (Arcana Coelestia 1029[6])
