2 Ibrahim igannu əs tənṭut-net Sarata: «tamaḍraytt-in a wa.» Abimelek əmənokal ən Gərar isassaway-du Sarata.

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 #2542

Study this Passage

2542. And spoke all these words in their ears. That this signifies an exhortation to the things thence derived that confirm, even until they should become obedient, is evident from the series in the internal sense, as well as from the signification of “ears.” From the series: There are many confirmatory things that support whatever the rational acknowledges; for it is precisely from these confirmatory things that its acknowledgment comes; and therefore it is that when rational things are being reduced to obedience exhortation is made to the things that confirm; for these are ever pressing in, and as it were rising up. From the signification of “ears:” In the internal sense of the Word “ears” signify obedience, by reason of the correspondence between hearing and obeying; which correspondence is moreover latent in the very word “hear,” and still more in “hearken;” the origin of which correspondence is from the other life, where they who are willing and obedient belong to the province of the ear, and indeed correspond to the hearing itself; which is an arcanum not yet known. But these things will become more clearly manifest when in what follows, of the Lord’s Divine mercy, correspondence will be treated of. That “ears” have this signification is evident from many passages in the Word. For the present we may adduce a single passage from Isaiah:

Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest peradventure they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and their heart should understand (Isaiah 6:10).

Here to “see with the eyes” is to understand; and to “hear with the ears” is to perceive with affection, consequently to obey. And nothing else is signified where the Lord says, “He that hath an ear to hear, let him hear” (Matthew 11:15, 13:9, 43; Luke 8:8; 14:35).
