22
Sa voix se fait entendre comme celle du serpent; Car ils s'avancent avec une armée, Ils marchent contre elle avec des haches, Pareils à des bûcherons.
Jérémie 46:22
Arcana Coelestia #4397
4397. 'And he bought the portion of the field' means making the good that springs from that truth its own. This is clear from the meaning of 'buying' as making one's own, and from the meaning of 'the portion of the field' as good springing from that truth. For 'the field' means the Church as regards good and so means good itself, see 2971, 3196, 3317, 3500, 3508, 3766.
