Shooter of the bow
In Genesis 21:20, 'a shooter of the bow' or 'archer' signifies the man of the spiritual church who defends himself by truth. (Arcana Coelestia 2709)
In the opposite sense, as in Exodus 19:13, 'an archer' signifies people who are principled in falsity and 'to be shot through,' signifying perishing regarding spiritual good.
In Jeremiah 4:29, this signifies people who attack from falsities of doctrine. (Apocalypse Explained 411[19])
In Genesis 49:23, this signifies people who attack from falsities of evil. (Apocalypse Explained 357[2])
