Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 7728

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

7728. 'And our livestock also must go with us' means that this - that is to say, worship - must be from the good of truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'livestock' as the good of truth, dealt with in 6016, 6045. The fact that 'going with us' means in order that this good may be the source of that worship - worship in the form of sacrifices and burnt offerings - is self-evident.
