1 Mosebok 4:11

¹¹ Så vare du nu förbannad och förvisad ifrån åkerjorden, som har öppnat sin mun för att mottaga din broders blod av din hand.

Arcana Coelestia #376

376. From this it follows that the “crying of bloods” signifies the accusation of guilt; for those who use violence are held guilty. As in David:

Evil shall slay the wicked, and they that hate the righteous shall be guilty (Psalms 34:21).

In Ezekiel:

Thou city art become guilty by the blood which thou hast shed (Ezekiel 22:4).
