Commentary

 

Calves

  

In Genesis 18:7, this signifies natural good which here is called tender from the truth of good. (Arcana Coelestia 2180)

In Hosea 14:2, the calves of the lips signify confessions from the affection of truth.

(References: Apocalypse Revealed 242)

Commentary

 

Nations

  

'Nations,' as in Jeremiah 25:31, signify falsities. In Genesis 25:23, 'two nations in the womb' signify the natural regarding interior and exterior good. In general, 'nations' signify people in the good of love and charity from the Lord.
