669. Verse 19. And of every living thing of all flesh, pairs of all shalt thou make to enter into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female. By the “living soul” are signified the things of the understanding; by “all flesh” those of the will; “pairs of all shalt thou make to enter into the ark” signifies their regeneration; the “male” is truth; the “female” good.
