Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 6134

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

6134. 'And the livestock of the beasts has passed to [my] lord' means similarly the good of truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'the livestock of the beasts', that is, the livestock of the flock and of the herd, as the good of truth, interior and exterior, dealt with above in 6126. The fact that the good of truth similarly can be seen no longer because of the desolation is evident from what has been stated about 'the silver' immediately above in 6133.
