Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 4894

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

4894. 'And he returned to Judah' means reflection. This becomes clear from the fact that 'the Adullamite, Judah's companion' means falsity, 4817, 4854, 4886, and when falsity is said 'to return' and, as Judah's companion does here, to report what had happened, nothing else is meant than a recalling to mind and reflection on what the situation is.
