7832. 'They shall take for themselves each one a member of the flock' means in respect of innocence. This is clear from the meaning of a lamb or she-goat, to which 'a member of the flock' refers here, as innocence, 'a lamb' innocence in the interior man, 'a she-goat' innocence in the exterior man, 3519.
