Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 9168

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

9168. 'And [the other man] shall not make repayment' means that no harm has been done. This is clear from the meaning of 'making repayment' as making amends and also undertaking restoration, dealt with in 9087, 9097, so that 'not making repayment' means not undertaking restoration and making amends, because no harm has been done.
