385. Verse 14. Behold Thou hast cast me out this day from the faces of the ground, and from Thy faces shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth; and it shall come to pass that everyone that findeth me shall slay me. To be “cast out from the faces of the ground” signifies to be separated from all the truth of the church; to be “hid from Thy faces” signifies to be separated from all the good of faith of love; to be a “fugitive and a wanderer in the earth” is not to know what is true and good; “everyone that findeth me shall slay me” signifies that all evil and falsity would destroy him.
