Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 7937

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

7937. 'That you shall say' means thought. This is clear from the meaning of 'saying' as thought, dealt with in 3395, 7094. The reason why 'saying' here means thought is that 'saying' just above in 7935 meant perception belonging to conscience; but here it introduces a reply, which in relation to the perception belonging to conscience is thought.
