2 και ο τρομος υμων και ο φοβος εσται επι πασιν τοις θηριοις της γης και επι παντα τα ορνεα του ουρανου και επι παντα τα κινουμενα επι της γης και επι παντας τους ιχθυας της θαλασσης υπο χειρας υμιν δεδωκα

Arcana Coelestia #1090

Study this Passage

  
/ 10837  
  

1090. And Noah awoke from his wine. That this signifies when he was better instructed, is evident from the signification of “awaking” after drunkenness. When he was “drunken” (verse 21) it signified that he had fallen into errors, and therefore his “awaking” is nothing else than coming out of errors.
