4161. For the way of women is upon me. That this signifies that they were as yet among unclean things, is evident from the signification of the “way of women,” as being uncleannesses, thus that the things upon which she sat were unclean (Leviticus 15:19-31); so that it means that they were as yet among unclean things. Interior truths are said to be among unclean things when they are among memory-knowledges which do not as yet correspond, or which are in disagreement. Such things are removed when the man is being cleansed, that is, when he is being regenerated.
