Arcana Coelestia #5476
5476. 'And also, his blood; behold, it is required' means the subsequent remorse of conscience. This is clear from the meaning of 'blood' as violence done to good or charity, dealt with in 374, 1005. When this violence or blood 'is required' it gives rise to a disturbance within that is called the remorse of conscience. But this is the case only with those who have become disturbed once they have sinned, see 5470.
