και οργισθησομαι θυμω και αποκτενω υμας μαχαιρα και εσονται αι γυναικες υμων χηραι και τα παιδια υμων ορφανα
Exodus 22:23
Arcana Coelestia # 9151
9151. If the thief be caught. That this signifies remembrance, is evident from the signification of “being caught,” when said of truths and knowledges in the memory that have been taken away, as being remembrance; and from the signification of “the thief,” as being that which has been taken away; for by “the thief” the like is signified as by “the theft” (see n. 9125, 9126).
