Commentary

 

Spoil

  

In Genesis 34:27, this signifies to destroy that posterity destroyed the doctrine of the previous church. (Arcana Coelestia 4503)

In Genesis 49:27, this signifies appropriating to Himself the goods and truths, or people that are snatched away and delivered. (Arcana Coelestia 6442)

In Exodus 3:22, this signifies that knowledges of good and truth are to be taken away from people who are in falsities and consequent evils. (Arcana Coelestia 6917, 6920)

'Spoil,' as in Deuteronomy 13:16, signifies the falsification of truth.

In Nahum 2:9, this signifies evil from falsity or violence to good and truth inflicted by falsity. (Arcana Coelestia 6978[2], Apocalypse Explained 355[23])
