Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 6920

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

6920. 'And you shall plunder the Egyptians' means that such things are to be taken away from those who are steeped in falsities and in evils arising from them. This is clear from the meaning of plundering' as taking away; and from the meaning of the Egyptians' as those steeped in falsities, often dealt with already. The implications of this are clear from what has been set out above in 6914, 6917.
