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).

This is clear from the meaning of 'the two tablets of the Testimony' as the Law in its entirety, thus the Word, dealt with in the places referred to above in 10687; and from the meaning of 'in Moses' hand' as a representative sign of it, that is to say, of the Word. For Moses represented the Word, see in the places referred to in 9372; the presence therefore of the tablets, by which the Word was meant, in his hand was a sign serving to represent it.
