Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 7595

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

7595. 'As I am going out of the city' means a separation. This is clear from the meaning of 'going out' as a separation, dealt with in 6100, 7404, 7463; and from the meaning of 'the city', where Pharaoh was, as the falsity in which engaging in molestation are steeped. For 'a city' means doctrinal teaching, and since it means this it also means truth and in the contrary sense falsity, 401, 2268, 2451, 2712, 2943, 3216, 4492, 4493.
