Exodus 12:7

Study

       

7 They shall take some of the blood, and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel, on the houses in which they shall eat it.

from the Writings of Emanuel Swedenborg

 

Arcana Coelestia #7866

Studere hoc loco

7866. 'And you shall eat it in haste' means their feeling in their state of separation. This is clear from the meaning of 'haste' as a feeling, since haste is the expression of a feeling, dealt with in 7695. Here it is their feeling in their state of separation, for they had been separated from the molesters, who are meant by 'the Egyptians'.
