8075. 'And all offspring opening it among the beasts' means all charity belonging to the new birth. This is clear from the meaning of 'whatever opens the womb' as faith springing from charity, which belongs to the new birth, dealt with in 8043; and from the meaning of offspring of the beasts' as the affection for good, dealt with in 45, 46, 142, 143, 246, 714, 715, 719, 776, 1823, 2179, 2180, 3218, 3519, 5198, thus the good of charity.
