864. Verse 7. And he sent forth a raven, and it went forth, going and returning, until the waters were dried up from off the earth. “And he sent forth a raven, and it went forth, going and returning” signifies that falsities still made disturbance; by a “raven” are signified falsities; and by “going forth, going and returning” is signified that such was their state; “until the waters were dried up from off the earth” signifies the apparent dissipation of falsities.
