2532. Verse 7 And now return the man's wife, for he is a prophet, and will pray for you, and you will live. And if you do not return her, know that you will certainly die, you and everyone who is yours.

'Now return the man's wife' means that the spiritual truth of doctrine was by him to be brought back untouched from the rational. 'For he is a prophet' means that thus it was to be taught. 'And will pray for you' means that it will thus be revealed. 'And you will live' means that thus doctrine will possess life. 'And if you do not return her' means here, as previously, if he did not restore the spiritual truth of doctrine untouched by the rational. 'Know that you will certainly die' means that no doctrine of truth and good will exist. 'And everyone who is yours' means all that belonged to it together.
