11
τω δε εβδομω αφεσιν ποιησεις και ανησεις αυτην και εδονται οι πτωχοι του εθνους σου τα δε υπολειπομενα εδεται τα αγρια θηρια ουτως ποιησεις τον αμπελωνα σου και τον ελαιωνα σου
Exodus 23:11
Arcana Coelestia #9252
9252. '[And] you shall not respond in a dispute so as to turn aside after many to pervert [justice]' means not being associated with those who turn forms of good and truths into evils and falsities, and vice versa. This is clear from the meaning of 'responding in a dispute' as answering in regard to what is just and fair, and what is good and true, about which there is contention, dealt with in 9024 1 , for 'answering' means giving an opinion and expressing a judgement; from the meaning of 'turning aside after many' as conforming with many and so being associated with them; and from the meaning of 'perverting' as turning truth into falsity and good into evil, and vice versa.
