Leopard

  

In Hosea 13:7, a leopard signifies ideas which appear to be coherent, but in reality are not. (Apocalypse Explained 781)

'A leopard,' as in Revelation 13:2, being a crafty and insidious animal, represents people who, "versed in reasoning adroitly", confirm faith separate from good works. 'A leopard' signifies the affection or lust of falsifying the truths of the Word. (Apocalypse Explained 780)

2585. Verse 18 For Jehovah had completely closed every womb of Abimelech's house because of the matter of Sarah, Abraham's wife.

'For Jehovah had completely closed every womb of Abimelech's house' means sterility of doctrine. 'Because of the matter of Sarah' means through the rational if it had joined itself. 'Abraham's wife' means, in order that spiritual truth might be joined to celestial good.
