9092. Then they shall sell the living ox. That this signifies that the affection of the one which has injured the affection of the other shall be alienated, is evident from the signification of “selling,” as being to alienate (see n. 4098, 4752, 4758, 5886); and from the signification of “the living ox,” as being the affection of truth which had injured the affection of truth of another (of which above, n. 9090).
Jeremiah 25:17-26
17
Then took I the cup at the LORD's hand, and made all the nations to drink, unto whom the LORD had sent me:
18
To wit, Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and the kings thereof, and the princes thereof, to make them a desolation, an astonishment, an hissing, and a curse; as it is this day;
19
Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people;
20
And all the mingled people, and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Azzah, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod,
21
Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon,
22
And all the kings of Tyrus, and all the kings of Zidon, and the kings of the isles which are beyond the sea,
23
Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all that are in the utmost corners,
24
And all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mingled people that dwell in the desert,
25
And all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes,
26
And all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another, and all the kingdoms of the world, which are upon the face of the earth: and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them.
