19 παντα τα ζωα, παντα τα ερπετα και παντα τα πτηνα, παν ο, τι κινειται επι της γης, κατα τα ειδη αυτων, εξηλθον εκ της κιβωτου.

Arcana Coelestia #877

Study this Passage

  
/ 10837  
  

877. 'The waters were over the face 1 of the earth' means that falsities were still there to overflowing. This is clear from the meaning of 'the waters of the flood' as falsities, as shown adequately already, and so from the very words themselves.

Footnotes:

1. literally, the faces
