Arcana Coelestia (Potts) n. 7323

7323. Over their streams, over their rivers. That this signifies against the doctrinal things of falsity, is evident from the signification of "streams" and "rivers," as being things of doctrine; for "waters" denote falsities (see n. 7307), and therefore "streams and rivers," which are collections of water, are doctrinal things, here of falsity. That "streams" denote that which is of intelligence, thus of truth, see n. 2702, 3051; hence in the opposite sense, they denote that which is contrary to intelligence, thus that which is of falsity.
