Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 8012

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

8012. 'And no uncircumcised person shall eat it' means that no one ruled by self-love and love of the world may be together with them. This is clear from the meaning of one who is 'uncircumcised' as one who is ruled by self-love and love of the world, dealt with in 2056, 3412, 3413, 7045; and from the meaning of 'eating it' - eating the Passover - as being together with them, dealt with above in 8001.
