3 Ahad di da daɣ tərgət inafalal Məššina y Abimelek, iṇṇ-as: «A kay iba fəl əddəlil ən tənṭut ta du-təsassawaya fəlas təzlaf.»

4 Abimelek a tat wər nəḍes harwa iṇṇa: «Əməli-nin, nak əd tamattay-nin ad-ana-təhləka da nəɣdal?

5 Awak təṇṇa a d-i wər iga tamaḍrayt-net a təṃos? Ənta iṃan-net tanṭut təṇṇ-i amaqqar-net a iṃos. A di da fəl əgeɣ a di s əwəl iddinan əd fassan zaddognen.»

6 Ijjəwwab-as Məššina daɣ tərgət: «Əṣṣanaɣ iṃan-in as s əwəl iddinan ad təgeɣ a di, a di da fəlas arəɣ a kay ag̣əza daɣ abakkad,taqqama da wər tat-təḍesa.

Arcana Coelestia #2554

2554. 'They will kill me on account of my wife' means that this being so the celestial things of faith would perish also if they were to think that spiritual truth alone could be joined to celestial good. This is clear from the meaning of 'killing' as perishing, and from the meaning of 'a wife' as spiritual truth joined to celestial good, dealt with in 2507. This is a second reason why the Lord's thought was such - that Divine Good, called celestial good here, is united as by marriage to Divine Truth, called spiritual truth here, 2508. And although Divine Good is united in this manner to Divine Truth alone, it nevertheless flows into lower truths and joins itself to them, but not as by marriage; for it flows into rational truths, which are merely appearances of truth, and joins itself to them. Indeed it flows as well into factual and sensory truths which are little more than illusions and joins itself to these. If it did not do so no one at all could possibly have been saved. For these matters, see Volume One, in 1831, 1832. To enable Divine Good to be joined to rational truths and to factual and sensory truths, and so to enable a person to be saved, was another reason for the Lord's Coming into the world, for unless the Lord's Human had been made Divine, Divine Good could not possibly be joined to those truths. But through Him they are so joined.

[2] In addition to this arcanum, there are many other arcana within these words, 'They will kill me on account of my wife', which mean that such being so the celestial things of faith would perish if men were to think that spiritual truth alone could be joined to celestial good. One arcanum within them is that when people had no respect for spiritual truth, celestial good would thereby perish, for once spiritual truth is rejected celestial good perishes. Another arcanum is that unless it had been declared that they were to worship the Father - though there is no other way to Him except through the Son, and 'he who sees the Son sees the Father', John 14:8-12 - it would not have been accepted. And there are other arcana in them besides these.
