9187. Verses 17-19. Thou shalt not suffer a sorceress to live. Everyone that lieth with a beast, dying he shall die. He that sacrificeth to gods, save to Jehovah alone, shall be accursed. “A sorceress” signifies those in whom something of the church has been conjoined with the falsities of the evil of the love of self; “thou shalt not suffer to live,” signifies the deprivation of spiritual life; “everyone that lieth with a beast,” signifies conjunction with the evils of the cupidities of the love of self; “dying he shall die,” signifies damnation; “he that sacrificeth to gods,” signifies the worship of falsities from evil; “shall be accursed” signifies a casting out; “save to Jehovah alone,” signifies that the Lord, who is the one and only God, is to be worshiped.
