Commentaar

 

Sweet

  

In Genesis 8:21, this signifies that worship from charity and the faith of charity pleased the Lord. (Arcana Coelestia 924-925)

In Exodus 15:25, this signifies that truths became enjoyable. (Arcana Coelestia 8356)

'Sweet' signifies delightful things from the good of truth and the truth of good. Everything sweet in the natural world corresponds to delightful and pleasant things in the spiritual world.

Commentaar

 

Hittite

  

'Hittites' can also signify what is false, and 'Amorites' what is evil, as in Ezekiel 16:45.

'Hittites, Perizzites, and Rephaim,' as mentioned in Genesis 15:20, signify persuasions of false ideas.

'A Hittite' in a good sense, signifies the spiritual church, or the truth of the church. The Hittites were among the upright Gentiles in the land of Canaan.
