Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 4753

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

4753. 'And let not our hand be upon him' means so that they may be blameless. This is clear from the meaning of 'let not a hand be laid upon someone' as so that no violence be done, as above in 4737; and because in doing no violence they may be blameless, this too is the meaning of the words used here.
