Arcana Coelestia #406

406. 'Lamech' means vastation, that is, the fact that faith is no more. This becomes clear from verses 23-24, below, which state that 'he killed a man (vir) to his wounding, and a little one to his bruising'. At that point 'man' is used to mean faith, 'a little one' or little child to mean charity.
