Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 4895

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

4895. 'And said, I did not find her' means that by falsity this cannot be discovered. This is clear from the meaning of 'I did not find' as not discovering; and because these words are spoken by the Adullamite who means falsity, as above in 4894, it follows that 'he said, I did not find her' means that falsity was unable to discover it, or that by falsity this cannot be discovered.
