1070. Verse 21. And he drank of the wine and was drunken; and he was uncovered in the midst of his tent. “And he drank of the wine” signifies that he desired to investigate the things which are of faith; “and was drunken” signifies that he thereby fell into errors; “and he was uncovered in the midst of his tent” signifies the consequent perverted things; the “midst of a tent” is the principal of faith.
