673. Verse 20. Of the fowl after its kind, and of the beast after its kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, pairs of all shall enter unto thee, to keep them alive. The “fowl” signifies things intellectual; the “beast” things of the will; the “creeping thing of the ground” signifies both, but what is lowest of them; “pairs of all shall come unto thee, to keep them alive” signifies, as before, their regeneration.
