Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 508

508. Verses 13, 14 And Kenan lived after he beget Mahalalel eight hundred and forty years; and he beget sons and daughters. And all the days of Kenan were nine hundred and ten years; and he died. The same applies to days and numbers of years here as in previous references to them. Here, as previously, 'sons and daughters' means the truths and goods which they perceived, though in a more general way now. 'He died' again means that it ceased to be what it had once been.
