S

SABBATH-DAY. The s. among the children of Israel was the sanctity of sanctities, because it rep. the Lord, six days being s. of his labors and combats with the hells, and the seventh of his victory over them, and of the rest which he thereby attained; and whereas that day was rep. of the close and period of the whole act of redemption, which the Lord accomplished, therefore it was esteemed very and essential holiness. But when the Lord came into the world and in consequence thereof made all rep. of himself to cease, that day was then made a day of instruction in divine things, and thereby also a day of rest from labors and of meditation on subjects that concerned salvation and eternal life, and also a day for the exercise of love towards our neighbor. By the natural sense of the commandment, "to remember the s.-d. to keep it holy," is meant, that six days are for man, and his labors, and that the seventh is for the Lord, and man's rest in dependence on the Lord; for the word s., in the original tongue, s. rest. By this commandment, in a spiritual sense, is s. the reformation and regeneration of man by the Lord, by six days of labor, his warfare against the flesh and its concupiscences, and at the same time against the evils and falses which are with him from hell; and by the seventh day, is s. his conjunction with the Lord and regeneration thereby. The reason why the reformation and regeneration of man are s., in a spiritual sense, by this commandment, is, because they coincide with the labors and combats of the Lord against the hells, and with his victory over them, and the rest into which he then entered. In a celestial sense, by this commandment is meant, conjunction with the Lord and its attendant peace, in consequence of the divine protection from the powers of hell; for by the s. is s. rest, and in this highest sense peace, on which account the Lord is called " the prince of peace," and styles himself peace in the abstract. Hence also the Lord styles himself "lord of the s." U. T. 301, 303. To do no work on the s.-d., s. that nothing should be done from proprium, but from the Lord. 8195. See Laws of the Jewish Church.

S., in a genuine sense, s. the affection of truth, and, in an opp. sense, the vastation of the affection of truth, that is of good in truth. Inasmuch as s. s. vastation, and cities s. doctrinals of truth, therefore in old time they sowed with s. cities that were destroyed, to prevent their being rebuilt. (See Judges ix. 45.) A. C. 2455.

The inhabitants also when they arrive at a certain age, discourse with spirits, by whom they are instructed concerning the Lord, how he ought to be worshipped, and likewise how they ought to live.

SCARLET-COLORED BEAST. (Rev. xvii. 3.) By s. is s. truth of the Word proceeding from a celestial origin. By the s. b. is s. the Word with respect to divine celestial truth. And inasmuch as the Roman Catholic religion rests its strength and dignity upon the Word, therefore the woman appeared sitting upon a s. b. as she had appeared before upon many waters (verse 1), by which waters are s. truths of the Word adulterated and profaned. That by b. is s. the Word, appears manifestly from the things said of it in the following passages of the chapter, as in verses 8, 11, 12, 13, 17: which things can only be said of the Word. A. R. 723.

SCHADDAI (Gen. xliii. 14) s. temptation, and after temptation consolation. The reason why S. s. temptation and after temptation consolation, is, because the ancients marked the one only God by various names, according to the various things which are from him; and inasmuch as they believed also that temptations are from him, they called God on this occasion S., yet by this name they did not mean another God, but the only God as to temptations; but when the ancient church declined, they began to worship as many gods as there were names of the one only God, and they also of themselves superadded several more; this custom was at length so prevalent, that every family had its own god, and he was distinguished altogether from the rest who were worshipped by other families: the family of Terah, from which Abraham came, worshipped S. for its God, hence not only Abraham, but also Jacob, acknowledged him as their God, and also in the land of Canaan : howbeit this was permitted them, lest they should be forced from their religious principle, for no one is forced from what he regards as holy; but whereas tho ancients by S. understood Jehovah himself or the Lord, who was so named when they underwent temptations, therefore Jehovah or the Lord took this name, in appearing to Abraham (Gen. xvii. 1), and also in appearing to Jacob. (Gen. xxxv. 11.) The reason why not temptation only, but also consolation, is s. by S., is, because all spiritual temptations are succeeded by consolation, for when any one in another life suffers hardships from evil spirits, by infestations, excitations to evils, and persuasions to falses, no sooner are the evil spirits removed, than he is received by the angels, and is brought into a state of comfort by delight agreeable to his genius and temper. 5628.
SCHALEM.   The tranquillity of peace.   4393.
SCHUR.    Exterior or scientific truth.    2497.
SCIENCES and languages after death are of no avail, but only the things which man has learnt and imbided by them. 2180.
SCIENTIFIC PRINCIPLE is the natural principle, because the s. p. is truth appearing in the light of the world, but the truth of faith, inasmuch as it is of faith with man, is in the light of heaven. 9568.
SCIENTIFIC THUTH is all scientifics by which spiritual truth is confirmed, and der. its life from spiritual good. A. E. 507.
SCIENTIFICS are of three kinds, intellectual, rational, and sensual, all of which are sown in the memory of man or rather in his memories, and in the regenerate are thence called forth of the Lord, by the internal man; these s. which have their birth from things sensual, come to man's sensation or perception during his life in the body, for they are the ground of his thought; the rest, which are more interior, do not so come to his sensation, or perception, before he puts off the body, and enters into another life. 991. S. are what first enter in at the senses, and thereby open the way to the interiors, it being a known thing, that the external sensuals are first opened with man, and next the interior sensuals, and finally the intellectuals, and when the intellectuals are opened, then these latter are rep. in the former, that they may be capable of being apprehended: the reason is, because intellectual things arise out of the things of sense by a method of extraction, for intellectual things are conclusions, and when conclusions are made, they are separated and sublimated; this is effected by the influx of tilings spiritual, which influx is through heaven from the Lord. 5580. S. must be arranged into order in tho natural principle, before the arrangement of the truths of the church can be effected, because the latter are to be apprehended by the former; for nothing can enter the understanding of man, without ideas acquired from such s. as man has procured to himself from infancy: man is altogether ignorant that every truth of the church which is called a truth of faith, is founded upon his s., and that he apprehends it, and it in the memory, and calls it forth from the memory, by ideas wrought from the s. appertaining to him. 5510. The s. to which those things that are of faith and charity can be in-applied, are very many, as all the s. of the church which are s. by Egypt in the good sense, consequently, all the s. which are true concerning cor., concerning rep., concerning s., concerning influx, concerning order, concerning intelligence and wisdom, concerning affections, yea all truths of interior and exterior nature, as well visible as invisible, because these cor. to spiritual truths. 5213. S. abide after death, but are quiescent. 2476-2479. The interiors of s. are those things which are spiritual in the natural principle, and spiritual things are in the natural principle, when the s. in that principle are illustrated by the light of heaven, and they are then illustrated by the light of heaven, when man has faith in the doctrinals which are from the Word, and he then has faith when he is in the good of charity; for in such case truths, and thereby s., are illustrated by the good of charity, as by flame, and hence have their spiritual light. 5037.
SCIENTIFICS and KNOWLEDGES are the first things on which are raised and grounded the civil, moral, and spiritual life of man, but they are to be learned for the use of life as their end. 1489.
SCIENTIFICS and KNOWLEDGES FROM THE WORD. By s. from the Word are understood all things contained in the literal sense, in which a doctrinal appears; but by the k. of truth and good, are understood all things of the literal sense, in which, and from which, there is somewhat doctrinal. A. E. 345.

SCORTATIONS cor. with the violation of spiritual marriage. C. S. L. 515-520.
SCORTATORY LOVE, opp. to conjugial love, means the love of adultery, when it is such that it is not reputed as a sin, nor as evil and dishonorable against reason, but as what is allowable with reason. C. S. L. 423-444. The delights of s. l. commence from the flesh, and they are of the flesh, even in the spirit, but the delights of conjugial love, commence in the spirit, and they are of the spirit, even in the flesh. C. S. L. 439.

A. R. 238. The s. s. the external of heaven and of the church, in which are the simple, who have thought naturally, and but little spiritually of things relating to the church. A. R. 878.

A. E. 511. S. (Rev. xviii. 17) s. the Roman Catholic religion. A. R. 780. "The s. gave up the dead that were in it" (Rev. xix. 13) s. the external and natural men of the church called to judgment. A.

SEA OF GLASS MINGLED WITH FIRE. By s. of g. (Rev. iv. 6) is s. the new heaven of Christians, who were in truths of a common or general nature from the literal sense of the Word; they who are in common truths are also in the borders of heaven, wherefore at a distance they seem to be in the sea. But in Rev. xv. 2, by s. of g. is s. the ultimate boundary of the spiritual world, where they were collected who had religion and consequent worship, but not good of life; inasmuch as a collection of these is s., therefore it is said, as it were, a s. of g., and, moreover, it appeared mingled with fire, and by fire there is s. the love of evil, and consequent evil of life, of course, not the good of life, for where there is no good, there is evil. It is this sea also which is meant in Rev. xxi. 1, by the sea which is no more. A. R. 659.

SECRET, or HIDDEN, s. inwardly in man. The s. place s. where the Lord is. 638.
SECRETIONS, the, of the human body, and spirits to which they cor. 5380.
SECURITY s. the external delight of heaven. A. E. 365. S. of life is induced by a belief in instantaneous salvation. Exp. D. P. 340.
SEDGE (Gen. xl. 2), or the larger grass, which is near rivers, s. scientifics which are of the natural man; that grass or herb den. scientifics, is clear from the Word. To feed in the s. is to be instructed in scientifics, and by scientifics concerning truths and goods. 5201.
SEDIMENT of the WATERS. A. E. 741. To persuade falses. A. E. 826.
SEDUCE, to (Rev. xii. 9), s. to pervert.    A. R. 551.
SEDUCTION (Gen. xxvii. 12) s. what is contrary to order.    3528.
SEE, to, cor. to the affection of understanding, and when prod, of God, means that he knows all and every thing from eternity. 626, To s. (Gen. xix. 1) s. conscience. 2325. To s. afar off (Gen. xxii 4) s. to foresee. 2790.
SEE THE FACE OF GOD and THE LAMB, to. (Rev. xxii.) By seeing the face of G. and of the L., or of the Lord, is not meant to see his face, because no one can see his face, such as he is in his divine love, and in his divine wisdom, and live, he being the sun of heaven and of the whole spiritual world; for to see his face, such as he is in himself would be as if any one should enter into the sun, by the fire whereof he would be consumed in a moment; nevertheless, the Lord sometimes presents himself to be seen out of his sun, but then he veils himself, and so presents himself to their sight, which is done by means of an angel, as he also did in the world to Abraham, Hagar, Lot, Gideon, Joshua, and others, for which reason those angels were called angels, and also Jehovah, for the presence of Jehovah at a distance was in them. But by seeing his face here, is not meant to so see his face, but to see the truths which are in the Word from him, and through them to know and acknowledge him; for the divine truths of the Word make the light which proceeds from the Lord as a sun, in which the angels are, and whereas they make the light, they are like glasses, in which the Lord's face is seen. A. R. 938.
SEED s. love, and also every one who has love. (See Gen. xii. 7; xiii. 15, 16.) 1025. S. s. faith grounded in charity. 3038. S. s. all who constitute the Lord's spiritual kingdom. 3187. S. s. good and truth from the Lord. 3373, S., in an opp. sense, s. the false of doctrine, and the infernal false. A. E. 768. S. s. the ultimate and primary principles of man. A. R. 936. See Coriander Seed, Mustard Seed.
SEED OF EVIL-DOERS, a, and CHILDREN THAT ARE CORRUPTERS, (Isa. i. 4.) A s. of e.-d. s. the false of those who are in evil; and c. that are c., the falses of those who are in falses from that evil. A. E. 768. A. C. 622.
SEED OF HOLINESS (Isa. vi. 13) s. a remnant or remains.    468.
SEED of MAN. In the s. of m. is his soul in a perfect human form covered with substances from the purest things of nature, out ot which a body is formed in the womb of the mother. C. S. L. 183.
SEED of the SERPENT, the (Gen. iii. 15), s. all infidelity.    250.
SEED of the WOMAN, the (Gen. iii. 15), s. faith towards the Lord. 250. S. of the w. (Rev. xii. 17) s. those who are of the new church, and are principled in the truths of its doctrine. A. R. 565.
SEED as the SAND, and the OFFSPRING of the BOWELS as GRAVEL. (Isa. xlviii. 19.) S. as the s. den. good, and the o. of the b. as g. den. truth, or those who are principled in love to the Lord and towards their neighbor. 1803.
SEED and OFFSPRING. (Isa. lxv. 23.) S. s. divine truth, and o., a life according to it. A. E. 768.
SEED-TIME and HARVEST (Gen, viii. 2) s. man about to be regenerated, and the church thence der. S. will never cease to be sown into every man by the Lord, whether he be within the church, or out of the church, that is, whether he has been made acquainted with the Word of the Lord, or not; without s. sown in him by the Lord, it is impossible for man to know what is good in any respect; all the good of charity, even amongst the Gentiles, is s. from the Lord, and although they have not the good of faith, as those who are within the church may have, yet they are nevertheless capable of receiving the good of faith: the Gentiles who have lived in charity, as they usually do in the world, embrace and receive the doctrine of true faith, and the faith of charity, much more easily than Christians do, when they are instructed therein by angels in another life. That it will never happen but that a church will exist in some part of the earth, is here s. by s.-t. and h. never ceasing all the days of the earth. 932.
SEEK is pred. of the understanding, and to desire of the will. A. R. 429.
SEERS. When the prophets were in the spirit, or vision, they saw such things as were in heaven. A. R. 36.
SEETHE, to, s. to destroy by falses the truths and goods.   A. E. 555.
SEIR (Gen. xxxiii. 14) s. the conjunction of spiritual things with celestial in the natural principle, that is, of the truth which is of faith with the good which is of charity; the good to which truth is conjoined in the natural principle, and, in the supreme sense, the Lord's divine natural as to good conjoined to truth therein, is what is properly s. by S. in these passages in the Word, Deut. xxxiii. 2, 3; Xum. xxiv. 17, 18; Judges v. 4, 5; and Isa. xxi. 11, 12. 4384. S. (Gen. xiv. 6) s. self-Jove. 1675. To arise and go forth out of S. (Dent, xxxiii. 2), s. that the Lord would make the natural principle divine, that hence also he might become light, that is, intelligence and wisdom, and thus Jehovah, not only as to the human rational, but also as to the human natural, wherefore it is said, "Jehovah arose from S., and went forth from S." 4240.
SEGMENTS den. arrangement of the interiors by regeneration.  10.048.
SEIR, the land of, s. in a supreme sense celestial natural good of the Lord; the reason why the land of S. has this signification is, because Mount S. was the boundary of the land of Canaan on one part (see Josh. xi. 16,17), and all the boundaries, as rivers, mountains, and lands, rep. those things which were ultimate, for they put on rep. from the land of Canaan which was in the midst, which rep. the Lord's celestial kingdom, and, in a supreme sense, his divine human ; the ultimates, which are boundaries, are those things which are called natural principles, for in natural principles, spiritual and celestial principles terminate. 4220.
SEIR, Mount, den. the human essence of the Lord.    1675.
SEIR and MOUNT PARAN. (Deut. xxxiii. 2.) S. has respect to celestial love, and M. P. to spiritual love. 2714.
SELAH (Gen. xi. 12) s. what appertains to science.    1339.
SELAV den. delight of natural love.    8426.
SELF-DERIVED INTELLIGENCE is the proprium of the understanding of man. A. R. 452. No false doctrine has any other origin, than in s.-d. i. A. R. 571.
SELF-DERIVED PRUDENCE is from the proprium of man, which is his nature, and is called his soul from his parent: this propriura is the love of s., and thence the love of the world; or the love of the world, and thence the love of s.: when the love of s. inspires its love into its mate, the understanding, it then becomes pride, which is the pride of one's own intelligence; hence is one's own p. Thus it is, that one's own p. lies hid in every evil from its origin. D. P. 206.
SELF-EXAMINATION is of no avail, unless man confesses his sins before the Lord, and prays for divine aid, and begins a new life. T. C. R. 530.
SELFHOOD, or Proprium, is nothing but evil.    A. C. 210-15.
SELF-LOVE consists in wishing well to ourselves alone. N. J. D. 65. S.-l. and the love of the world constitute hell. 2041, 3610, 4225, 10.741, 10.745.
SELF-SUBSISTING. The s.-s. principle is omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent. D. P. 157. S.-s. who alone is. D. L. W. 45.
SELL, to. (Gen. xli. 56), den. to appropriate to any one. 5371. Jesus said to the young man who was rich, " s. what thou hast, and come, take up thy cross and follow me." (Mark x. 21.) By this, in the spiritual sense, is understood, that he should reject the falses which were the doctrine of the Jewish nation, and receive the doctrine of truth from the Lord, and that he was to undergo conflicts and temptations from falses. A. E. 122. To s.(Rev. xiii. 17) s. to teach doctrine. A. R. 606. Sellers and buyers s. those who make gain to themselves from holy things. To s and to be sold (Isa. l. 1; lii. 4 ; Ezek. xxx. 12) s. to alienate truths, and to be alienated from them, and to accept falses for truths, and to be captivated thereby. A. E. 840.
SEMINEL.    Quality des. 5056.
SEND, to, s. to reveal.    A. E. 8.
SEND AWAY den. to be separated.    3182.
SENNACHERIB, king of Ashur or Assyria (Isa. xxxvii. 25), s. the rational principle perverted, destroying all the knowledge and perception of truth. A. E. 518, 778. S. the chief captain of the king of Assyria (2 Kings xviii.-xix.), rep. the natural man as to his intellectual principle. . A. E. 654.
SENSATION. All varieties of s. have reference to the sense of touch, and in the internal sense den. the inmost of and all of perception. 2528. S. which pertain to the body, are der. from love and wisdom. D. L. W. 363.
SENSE. The common s. is that in which all particular sensation subsists. 4325-8. See Involuntary Common (or General) Sense.
SENSES. The five external s. cor. to the five internal s., and communicate immediately with them. 6101, 4407.
SENSITIVE is the ultimate of perception. 7691. The sensitive and perceptive exists from good. 3528. All the perceptive and s. are learned and known by relation. D. P. 24.
SENSORIES. The s. of the body are only recipient and percipient, as if from themselves. Each s. des. A. Cr. 45.
SENSUAL LIFE.    They who are good, after death, at first live the s. l. in the world or heaven  of spirits, afterwards the interior s. l. in the heaven of angelic spirits, and lastly the inmost s. l. in the angelic heaven 978.
SENSUAL MAN. He is called a s. m. who judges of all things by his bodily senses, and who believes nothing but what he can see with his eyes and touch with his hands; saying that these are something, and rejecting the rest. 5094, 7693. The s. m. thinks in his extremes, and not interiorly from any spiritual light, but he is in a dense natural light. 5080, 5094. S. m. reason acutely and subtilely, because their thought is so near their speech that it is almost in it, and, as it were, in their lips, and because they place all intelligence in speech from memory only; some of them also can dexterously confirm falses, and after confirmation they believe them to be truths. But they reason and confirm things from the fallacies of the senses, by which the vulgar are captivated and persuaded, A. R. 424. Men of learning and erudition, who have confirmed themselves deeply in falses, and still more they who have confirmed themselves against the truths of the Word, are more s. than others. A. C. 6316.
SENSUAL PRINCIPLE, the, is the ultimate of the life of man's mind, adhering and cohering to his five bodily senses. 5077, 5767, 9121. The man who is regenerated, especially at this day, is not regenerated as to the s. p., but as to the natural principle, which is next above the s. 7442.
SENSUAL THINGS. They who reasoned from s. t. only, and thence against the genuine truths of the church, were called by the ancients "serpents of the tree of knowledge." A. R. 424. A. C. 195-197. S. t, ought to be in the last place, and not in the first, and in a wise and intelligent man, they are in the last place, and subject to the interiors, but in a foolish man, they are in the first place and govern ; these are they who are properly called s. A. R. 424. A. C. 5125, 5128, 7645.
SENT, to be. By being s. is everywhere s., in an internal sense, to go forth; as in John xvii. 8. In like manner it is said of the holy of the spirit, that it was s., that is, that it goes forth from the divine of the Lord, as in John xv. 26 ; xvi. 5, 7. Hence the prophets were called the s., because the words which they spake went forth from the holy of the spirit of the Lord. And whereas all divine truth goes forth from divine good, the expressions, is properly pred. of divine truth. Hence also it is evident what it is to go forth, that is, that he who goes forth, or that which goes forth, is of him from whom it goes forth. 2397. To be s. (Gen. xxxvii, 13) s. to teach. 4710.
SEPARATED from the BOWELS, to be (Gen. xxv. 23), s. the birth of truth. 3294.
SEPARATION of good from evil exp. 2405.   H. and H. 511
SEPHAR (Gen. x. 30) s. good.   1248.
SEPULCHRE, in the internal sense of the Word, s. life, or heaven, and, in the opp. sense, death, or hell; the reason that it s. life, or heaven is, because the angels, who are in the internal sense of the Word, have no idea of a s., because no idea of death, wherefore instead of a s., they perceive nothing else than a continuation of life, thus resurrection; for man rises again as to his spirit, and is buried as to his body, and because burial s. resurrection it also s. regeneration, for regeneration is man's first resurrection, inasmuch as he then dies as to the former man, and rises again as to the new; by regeneration man from dead becomes alive; hence the signification of a s. in the internal sense. That s., in an opp. sense, s. death or hell is, because the wicked do not rise again to life, and therefore when it ia treated concerning the wicked, and mention is made of a s. then there occurs to the angels no other idea than that of hell; this is the reason why hell in the Word is also called a s. 2916.
SERAH (Gen. xxxviii. 30) s. the quality of good as actually being firstborn, and truth only apparently. S., in the original tongue, s. rise, and is attributed to the sun, and to the first appearance of its light; hence S. was named, because the case is similar with good appertaining to the man, who is regenerating, for it first arises and gives light, by virtue of which light those things are illustrated which are in the natural man, so that they may be seen and acknowledged, and finally believed. 4930.
SERAPHIM (Isa. vi. 2) s. the Word, properly doctrine from the Word. A. R. 245. See Cherubim.
SERIES. Truths are arranged into s. with man, according to the arrangement of angelic societies. 10.303.
SERPENT s. man when he is corporeally sensual, who turns from the Lord to himself, and from heaven to the world; such was the s. who seduced Eve and Adam. A. R. 550. S. (Gen. iii. 15) is evil of every kind; his head is self-love, the seed of the woman is the Lord, the enmity which is put, is between the love of man's proprium and the Lord, thus between man's own prudence and the divine providence of the Lord. D. P. 211. By s., amongst the most ancient people who were celestial men, was s. circumspection; and, in like manner, the sensual by which they exercised circumspection, lest they should be injured by the evil; which is evident from the words of the Lord to his disciples, " behold, I send you as sheep into the midst of wolves; be ye therefore prudent as s., and simple as doves." (Matt. x. 16.) 197.
SERPENT and ASP. (Gen. xlix. 17.) By s. on the way, and by a. on the path, is s. the sensual principle as to truth, and as to good. A. E. 355.
SERPENT'S ROOT, the (Isa. xiv. 29) s. scientifics.    1197.
SERPENTS. By s. in the Word are s. sensual principles, which are the ultimates of man's life; the reason is, because all animals s. affections of man, wherefore also the affections of angels and spirits in the spiritual world, appear at a distance as animals, and affections merely sensual as s.; and this because s. creep on the ground, and lick the dust, and sensual things are the lowest of the understanding and will, being in close contact with the world, and nourished by its objects and delights, which only affect the material sense of the body. Noxious s., which are of many kinds, s. the sensual things that are dependent on the evil affections, which constitute the interiors of the mind with those who are insane through the falses of evil; and harmless s. s. sensual things that are dependent on the good affections, which constitute the interiors of the mind with those who are wise by virtue of the truths of good. A. R. 455.
SERUG (Gen. xi. 20) s. worship in externals.    1349.
SERVANT. In the Word throughout, there is mention made of s., and thereby in the internal sense is meant what is subservient to another, in general every thing which is below in respect to what is above, for it is grounded in order, that an inferior thing should be subservient to a superior, and so far as it is subservient, it is called a s. 5305. S. den. the humanity appertaining to the Lord, before it was made divine, which may appear from several passages in the prophets; the reason is, because the humanity appertaining to the Lord, before he put it off, and made it divine, was nothing else but a, s. 2159. The s. (Gen. xxiv. 17) s. the divine good. 3088. S. (Exod. xxi. 32), in an internal sense, s. labor. 2276. The Lord is as if he did not see and perceive the sins of men; for he leads them gently, thus he bends and does not break in withdrawing them from evil, and in leading them to good; wherefore he does not chastise nor punish, as if he saw and perceived. This is understood by these words, " Who is blind but my s., or deaf as my messenger ?" (Isa. xlii. 19.) He is called blind, and thence s., from divine truth, and deaf and thence messenger, from divine good ; for blind refers to the understanding and thence perception, and deaf refers to perception, and thence to the will; hence here is understood that the. Lord appears not to see, although the divine truth is his from which he knows all things; and that he appears not to will according to what he perceives, although to him belongs divine good from which all things are possible to him. A. E. 409. S., in a spiritual sense, s. those who are in truths, and forasmuch as truths originate in good, by s. are meant those who are in truths, originating in good, therefore also those who are in wisdom originating in love, because wisdom is of truth, and love is of good; also those who are in faith originating in charity, because faith also is of truth, and charity is of good; and forasmuch as the genuine spiritual sense is abstracted from personality, therefore in it by s. are s. truths, and as truths are subservient to good, by teaching it, therefore in general, and properly speaking, by s. in the Word, is meant what is subservient, or he, or that which serves, and in this sense, not only the prophets are called the s. of God, but also the Lord with respect to his humanity. A. R. 3. S. den. those things which are of the exterior natural principle; for when man is regenerated, then inferior things are made subordinate and subject to superior, or exterior things to interior, in which case exterior things become s., and interior things lords. 5161. S., in an opp. sense, s. those who serve the devil, these are in a state of real servitude ; but they who serve the Lord are in a state of liberty; as the Lord also teaches in John viii. 32-36. A. R. 3. S. (Gen. xx. 8) s. things rational and scientific. 2541. S. (Gen. xliii. 18) s. light things and things of no account. 5651. The s. which were thrice sent (Luke xx. 10-16) s. the Word given by Moses and the prophets. A. E. 315. See Men-Servants.
SERVANTS and ELECT. S. are they who receive-divine truth, and teach; and the e. are they who receive, and lead to divine good. A. E. 409.
SERVANT OF SERVANTS, a (Gen. ix. 25), s. worship in externals without charity, or what is most vile in the church. 1091, 1092.
SERVE, to (Gen. xv. 13), s. oppression.    1845.
SERVE, to, and DWELL. In the Word, to s. is pred. of truth, and to d., of good. A. R. 380.
SERVICE den. all that which is beneath, which is subordinate, and which obeys, consequently, truth as being der. from good, and ministering to good. 3409.
SERVITUDE. Every man wishes to remove slavery from himself. D. P. 148. S. pred. of the unregenerate. 892. S. pred. of the regenerate,  or of the external submissive to the internal, is not felt as such, because it is from submission of heart. 5161. To be led by evil is s. D. P. 43.
SERVILE FEAR. In proportion as worship is grounded in s. f. there is less of faith, and still less of love in it. 2826.
SET WITH THEE, to (Gen. xxxiii. 15), s. to conjoin.   4385.
SET ON EDGE, to be, s. the appropriation of the false from evil. A. E. 556.
SETH (Gen. iv. 25. etc.) s. a new faith by which comes charity.    434.
SEVEN. The number s. was esteemed holy, as is well known, by reason of the six days of creation, and of the seventh, which is the celestial man, in whom is peace, rest, and the sabbath; hence the number s. so frequently occurs in the rites of the Jewish church, and is everywhere held as holy; and hence times were distinguished into s., both the great and the less intervals, and were called weeks, as the great intervals of times till the coming of the Messiah (Dan. ix. 24, 25) ; and the time of s. years is called a week by Laban and Jacob. (Gen. xxix. 27, 28.) Wherefore, wheresoever the number s. occurs, it is esteemed holy and sacred, as in Ps. cxix. 164, and in Isa. xxx. 26. As the times of man's regeneration are distinguished into six, previous to the seventh, or the celestial man, so also the times of vastation are distinguished, even till nothing celestial remains; this was rep. by several captivities of the Jews, and by the last Babylonish captivity, which lasted s. decades, or seventy years; it was likewise rep. by Nebuchadnezzar, in Dan. iv. 16, 22, 29. It is also prod, concerning the vastation of the last times, in Rev. xv. 1, 7, 8; and that they should tread the holy city under foot, forty and two months, or six times s. (Rev. xi. 2; and, again, Rev. v. 1.) Hence the severity and increments of punishment were expressed by the number s., as in Lev. xxvi. 18, 21, 24, 28; Ps. lxxix. 12. 395. S. (Rev. xv. 1) s. all in an universal sense. A. R. 657. See Six.
SEVEN-FOLD and SEVENTY-SEVEN-FOLD. As the number seven is holy, so the number seventy has a like s., as comprehending seven ages, for an age in the Word is ten years; whensoever any thing particularly holy or sacred was to be expressed, then the term seventy times seven was applied, as where the Lord said, " that a man should remit to his brother, not only until seven times, but until seventy times seven" (Matt, xvii'i. 21, 22); by which is meant that they should remit as often as he trespasses, consequently, without end, or forever, which is holy. 433.
SEVEN ANGELS (Rev. xv. 1; xvi. 1) s. heaven, and, in a supreme sense, the Lord. A. R. 657, 676.
SEVEN CHURCHES s. all who were of the church in the Christian world, and every one according to reception. A. R. 10, 41.
SEVENTH DAY and SEVENTH MONTH. (Gen. ii. 2, 3; viii. 4.) S. d. is the celestial man, and the s. in. is the spiritual man. 84, 851.
SEVENTEEN s. both the beginning of temptation, and the end of temptation, by reason that it is composed of the numbers seven and ten; which number, when it s. the beginning of temptation, implies in such case till seven days, or the seventh of seven days, which s. the beginning of temptation. But when s. s. the end of temptation, then seven is a holy number, to which ten is added, which s. remains, for without remains man cannot be regenerated.    755.   The seventeenth day (Gen. viii. 4) s. what is new.    853.
SEVENTY-TWO den. all things of charity and faith.   5291.
SHADDAI s. temptation, and, afterwards, consolation. 5628. See Schaddai.
SHADE on the RIGHT HAND. (Ps. cxxi. 6.) To be a s. on the r. h. s. to bo defence against evil and the false. A. E. 298.
SHADE of the LIGHT of HEAVEN, the, is not similar to the s. of the l. of this world, being an incomprehensibly mild and pure light, equally enlightening the understanding and the sight. 1972.
SHADOW s. commonplace.    A. E. 324.
SHADOW of a BEAM (Gen. xix. 8) s. a general obscure principle of the good of charity. 2301, 2367.
SHADOW of DEATH, the, has respect to the states of those in hell, who are in the falses of evil. A. R. 110.
SHAFTS s. truths, and spiritual truths.    A. R. 299.    See Arrow.
SHAKE. To s. bread on the palm of Aaron's hand (Exod. xxix. 21) den. acknowledgment that vivification is of the Lord, and that it is the Lord. 10.082.
SHAKE THYSELF FROM THE DUST, ARISE, SIT DOWN, 0 JERUSALEM (Isa. lii. 2), s. liberation from infernal falses, and elevation to the truths of heaven. A. E. 811.
SHALEM den. the procedure of the regenerate to the interior truths of faith. 4393.
SHAME s. filthy loves.   A. E. 1009.
SHARON s. the celestial church, also the internal of the celestial church. 5922, 10.610.
SHARON, BASHAN, and CARMEL (Isa. xxxiii. 9), s. the church as to the knowledges of good and truth from the natural sense of the Word. A. E. 730.
SHARP s. what is accurate, what is exquisite, and altogether, or entirely. A. E. 908.
SHAVE, to, the HEAD was strictly prohibited the high-priests and his sons, because of the holy rep. of hair, and of the Nazarite. A. R. 47.
SHAVE, to, the HEAD and BEARD.   See To Poll the Head and Beard.
SHAVEH s. goods of the external man.    1723.
SHAVEH KIRIATHAIM s. the hells of such as were in persuasions of the false. 1673.
SHEAF s. doctrine, and hence, to bind sheaves s. to teach from doctrine ; the ground and reason why s. den. doctrine is, because field is the church, and standing corn in a field den. truth in the church, thus, a s., in which there is corn, den. doctrine in which there is truth. 4686. Joseph's s. (Gen. xxxvii.) s. doctrine from the Lord's divine truth, or the doctrinal concerning the Lord's divine human. 4686, 4689.
SHEAR, to, the FLOCK (Gen. xxxi. 19) s. to perform use, which is evident from this consideration, that shearing the flock, in the internal sense, is nothing else but use, for thence is wool; that shearing the flock den. use, is manifest also from Deut. xv. 19, where by not shearing the first-born of the flock, is meant not to perform thence domestic use. Inasmuch as shearing the flock s. use, therefore, to s. the f., and to present at shearing, was, in old time, reputed an honorable office and employment, as may appear from what is said of Judah, that " he sheared his flock" (Gen. xxxviii. 12, 13), and from the sons of David in the second book of Samuel xiii. 23, 24, 4110.
SHEBA. (Gen. x. 28.) A ritual of the church called Eber. 1245. S. (Jer. vi. 20) s. knowledges and acts of worship. 1171.
SHEBA and DEDAN are those who constitute the first class in the Lord's spiritual kingdom, who are principled in the good of faith, and who have doctrinals of charity; hence it is, that by S. and D. are s. the knowledges of things celestial, or, what is the same thing, those who are in the knowledges of things celestial, that is, who are in the doctrinals of charity, for doctrinals are knowledges, and charity is the celestial principle appertaining to the spiritual man. 3240.
SHEBA and SEBA s. the internal things of worship, namely, S., the celestial things of worship, and S., the spiritual things of worship. 1171.
SHEBAH (Gen. xxvi. 33) s. the conjunction of confirmed truth.   3465.

So in David (Ps. lx. 6-8; cviii. 7-9), where by S. also the like is s. That S. was made a city of refuge (Josh. xx. 7), and also a city of priests (Josh. xxi. 21), and that there a covenant was made (Josh. xxiv. 1, 25), implies also the like s. 1441. S. (Gen. xxxvii. 12) s. first rudiments of the doctrine concerning faith: first rudiments are also the common [or general] principles of doctrinals, these common [or general] principles are what are first received, special [or particular] principles follow afterwards. 3704.

S.,as first mentioned, in John xxi. 15-17, den. those who are in good from good: and s., mentioned a second time, den. those who are in good from truth. 4109. Other s. which are not of this sheepfold (John x. 1(5), are meant those who are neither celestial nor spiritual, but natural, and, notwithstanding, are in the good of life according to their religious principles. A. E. 433. See Lambs.
SHEEP and GOATS (Matt. xxv. 33-41) do not mean all the good and all the evil; but, in a proper sense, by s. are understood they who are in the good of charity towards their neighbor, and thence in faith ; and by g., they who are in faith separate from charity, consequently, all those upon ^vhom the judgment in the last time of the church was about to be executed, for all those who were in the good of love to the Lord were before received into heaven; and all who were in no good of cbarity, and thence in no faith, were before cast into hell. To the s. it is said, " inherit the kingdom prepared for you," from the foundation of the world, but it is not said that the lot of the g. was prepared from the foundation of the world, for the evil prepare hell for themselves, and the Lord prepares heaven for the good.

SHEPHERD of the FLOCK, a, is one who exercises the good of charity, as must be obvious to every one, inasmuch as the expression is commonly used in this signification, in the Word of the Old and New Testament; he who leads and teaches is called s.; they who are led and taught are called the f.; he who does not lead to the good of charity, and who does not teach the good of charity, is not a true s.; and he who is not led to good, and does not learn what is good, is not of the f. 343.

SHIPS s. knowledges of what is good and true from the Word, serving for use of life; s. have this s., because they traverse the sea, and bring such necessaries as are of use to the natural man exclusively, and the knowledges of good and truth are the necessaries which are of use to the spiritual man; from these the doctrine of the church is der., and, according to this doctrine, life. S. s. these knowledges, because they are what contain things, and, in the Word, the thing containing is taken for the thing contained. A. R. 406.

Wilderness of S., s. a state of temptation. 8346.

SIRENS, who are interior jugglers, are they who particularly beset man during night, and, at the same time, endeavor to infuse themselves into his interior thoughts and affections, but they are as often driven away by angels from the Lord, and are at length deterred from such attempts by most grevious punishments. They are chiefly of the female sex, who, in the life of the body, have studied, by interior artifices, to allure to themselves companions, insinuating themselves by things external, using every method of engaging men's minds, entering into the affections and delights of every one, but with an evil end, especially to gain influence and authority. 1983. S. are such females as have been principled in a persuasion that whoredom and adultery is honorable, and have also been held in esteem by others on account of such persuasion, and of their elegant way of living; the greatest part of them come into another life from Christendom. 2744.

S. den. intellectual rational truth. The reason why rational truth is called s. is, because it is conceived by an influx of divine good into the affection of rational truths; the good which is thence in the rational principle is called brother, and the truth which is thence is called s. (See Gen. xx. 12.) 2508.
SIT, to, by the FLESH POTS (Exod. xvi. 3) s. a life according to pleasure, and what is lusted after, for this life is the life of man's proprium. 8408.
SIT, to, STAND, and WALK BEFORE JEHOVAH. To s. before Jehovah is to be with him, consequently, also to will and act from him; to s. before him, is to look to and understand his will, and to w. before him, is to live according to his precepts, thus from himself: forasmuch as to s. involves such a s., therefore, the same word, in the original language which is used to express it, s. to remain and dwell. A-. E. 687.

SIX s. combat, as appears from the first chapter of Genesis, where mention is made of s. days in which man is regenerated before he becomes celestial, within which days there is a continual combat, but on the seventh day comes rest; hence it is that there are s. days of labor, and the seventh the sabbath, which s. rest; hence also it is, that an Hebrew servant was to serve s. years, and in the "seventh was to be free (Exod. xxi. 2; Deut. xv. 12 ; Jer. xxxiv. 14) and that they should sow the land s. years, and should gather its produce, but on the seventh they should let it rest (Exod. xxiii. 10-12) ; and in like manner they should do with a vineyard; and that on the seventh year there should be a sabbath of a sabbath for the land, a sabbath of Jehovah (Lev. xxv. 3, 4) ; whereas s. s. labor and combat they s. also the dispersion of what is false (Ezek. ix. 2 ; xxxix. 2), in which passages, s., and to leave a sixth part s. dispersion; and in Job v. 29, it s. the combat of temptations. In some other cases, where the number a. occurs in the Word, it does not s. labor, combat, or the dispersion of what is false, but the holy of faith as having relation to twelve, which number s. faith and all things appertaining to faith in the complex; and as having relation also to three, which number s. what is holy; hence also the genuine derivation of the number s., as in Ezek. xl. 5, where it is said that the man's reed with which he measured the holy city of Israel, was s. cubits; and so in other passages; the reason of this ground of its derivation, is because the combat of temptation is the holy of faith, and also because s. days of labor and combat have respect unto the holy seventh. 737. S. s. all as to truth and good, for s. is composed of three and two multiplied by each other, and by three is a. all with respect to truth, and by two all with respect to good. A. R. 245.
SIX HUNDRED YEARS. (Gen. vii. 6.)

That s. h. y. s. in this verse the first state of temptation, may appear from the ruling numbers therein, which are ten and six, which are twice multiplied into themselves. 737.
SIX HUNDRED and SIXTY-SIX, (llev. xiii. 18.) By. s. h. and s.-s. is a. all truth of good, and as this is said of the Word, it s. all truth of good in the Word, in the present instance the same falsified, because it is the number of the beast. A. R. 610.
SIXTEEN and SIXTEEN HUNDRED s. the same as four, because s. is the product of four multiplied by itself, and four is pred. of good and of the conjunction of good with truth, consequently, in an opp. sense, of evil, and the conjunction of evil with the false. A. R. 654.
SIXTH PART. Because six s. what is full, the word to sextate, or give a s. p., came into use, by which, in a spiritual sense, is s. what is complete and entire; as that the prophet was to drink water by measure, the s. p. of a bin (Ezek. iv. 11) ; that they were to take for an offering the s. p. of an ephah of a homer of wheat. (Ezek. xlv. 13.) A. II. 610.
SIXTY s. a full time and state as to the implantation of truth. A. E. 648.

SKILFUL. A man s. is pred. of the affection of truth, or of those who are in the affection of truth. 3309.
SKIN, the, cor. to truth or to the false in the ultimates. 10.036. The s., from cor. with the greatest man, s. the natural man. A. E. 386. There are spirits who belong to the province of the s., especially that part of it which is rough and scaly, who are disposed to reason on all subjects, having no perception of what is good and true; there are they, who, during the bodily life, have confounded truth and goodness by scientific and philosophical investigations, whereby they seemed to themselves more learned than others, though at the same time they had never taken from the Word any previous principles of truth; hence they have a less share of common sense than the rest of mankind. 1835. S. (Job xix. 26) s. the natural such as man has with him after death. 3540. S. s. things external, because s. are the outermost principles of the animal, in which its interiors are terminated, in like manner as the s., or cuticles in man; this significative is grounded in what is rep. in another life; the s. and also the hides of beasts, s. things external, which is also manifest from the Word. 3540.
SKIRT. The s. of a Jew (Zech. viii. 23) s. truth from the good of love to the Lord. To take hold of the s. of a Jew s. the desire of knowing truth from the Lord. A. E. See Hem.
SKIRTS and HEELS. (Jer. xiii. 22.) S. a. external truths, and h. outermost goods. 3540.
SKULL. They who have lived in deadly hatred, and in the revenges of such hatred, and in falses thence der., have s. perfectly hardened, and some have s. like ebony, through which no rays of light, which are truths, penetrate, but are altogether reflected. 5563.
SLAIN, when pred. concerning the Lord (Rev. v.) s. the separation of all things from the divine; for by a denial of his divinity, he is spiritually s. among men and denial causes a state of separation from him. A. E. 828. The s. (Lam. ii. 12) s. those who do not know what is meant by the truths of faith. 1071. The s. of Jehovah s. those who turn truths into falses, by which means they perish. A, R. 139. A multitude of s. is pred. of those who perish from falses, and a great number of carcasses, of those who perish from evils. (Nahum iii. 2) A. E. 354.
SLAUGHTER s. perdition and damnation. A. E. 315. S. and a storm of s. s. evils which destroy the goods of the church. The day of great s. s. the last judgment. A. E. 315.
SLAVE s. those who do not think from themselves but from others A. E. 836.
SLAVERY consists in being under the dominion of evil spirits.    892.
SLAY, to, or KILL, in the Word, s. to destroy souls, which is to k. spiritually. A. R. 320. To s. a man to his wounding, s. to extinguish faith, and to s. a little child to his hurt, s. to extinguish charity. (Gen. iv. 23.) 427.
SLEEP, to, den. an obscure state; s. also, in a spiritual sense, is nothing else, as wakefulness is nothing else but a clear state; for spiritual s. is when truths are in obscurity, and spiritual wakefulness when truths are in clearness: in the degree also of such clearness, or obscurity, spirits are wakeful, or asleep. 5210. By a deep s. (Gen. ii. 21) is meant that state into which man was let, that he seemed to himself to have proprium, which state is like that of s. because in that state he knows no other, but that he lives, thinks, speaks, and acts of himself; but when he begins to know that this is false, he then starts as it were out of s., and becomes awake. 147. " A deep s. fell upon Abram " (Gen. xv. 12), s. that the church was then in darkness ; for a deep s. is a dark state in respect to being awake, which state is here pred. of the Lord, who is rep. by Abram ; not that a deep s., or a dark state ever has place with him, but with the church; the case herein is as in another life, where the Lord is always the sun, and essential light, but before the wicked he appears as darkness, for the Lord appears to every one according to his state; and so it is in respect to the church when it is in a dark state. Sleeping, when spoken of the Lord, s. his apparent absence. A. E. 514. To s. a perpetual a. (Jer. li. 39) s. never to perceive truths to eternity. A. E. 481. There is a necessity that man should s. in safety, for otherwise the human race must needs perish. 959. Evil spirits have the greatest and most burning desire to infest and assault man during s., but he is then particularly under the Lord's keeping ; for love never s. The spirits who infest are miserably punished. 1983. Those spirits who are allotted to involuntary respiration, are present with man during s., for as soon as man falls asleep, his voluntary principle of respiration ceases, and he receives an involuntary principle of respiration. 3893. Certain spirits on their first entrance into the spiritual world, who desire to see the glory of the Lord, before they are in such a state as to be capable of beholding it, are cast into a kind of sweet s. as to their exterior senses and inferior faculties, and then their interior senses and faculties are awakened into an extraordinary wakefulness, and thus they are let into tho glory of heaven; but as soon as wakefulness is restored to the interior senses and faculties, they return to their former state. 9182.
SLEIGHTS in the HAND s. falsifications of truth.    3242.
SLUGGISHNESS of spirits who had given themselves up to ease, etc., des. 5723.
SLUMBER, to, and SLEEP den. the state of a man who is not in truths. (See Jer. li. 39, 57 ; Ps. xiii. 3 ; lxxvi. 5; Luke viii. 23.) A. R. 158. To s., in the internal sense, is, from delay to grow slothful in the things appertaining to the church, and to s. is to cherish doubt. (Matt. xxv. 5.) 4638.
SMALL and GREAT. The s. s. those who know or are but little in the truths and goods of the church, and the great those who know or are much in them. A. E. 696. S. and g. (Rev. xi. 98) s. who fear the Lord in a lesser or greater degree. A. R. 527. S. and g. (Rev. xix. 5) s. those who, in a lesser and greater degree, worship the Lord from truths of faith, and goods of love.    A. R. 810.
SMALL and ROUND are pred. of truth and good respectively.    8458.
SMELL, the sense of, in general cor. to the affection of perceiving. 4404. See Spheres, Taste.
SMELLING.   Instead of taste, spirits have a sense resembling s.   1516
SMITE, to, s. condemn. 7871. To s. (Gen. xiv. 15) s. vindication 1714. To s. (Gen. xxxii. 8) s. to destroy. 4251. To. s. the earth with every plague as often as they will (Rev. xi. 6), is s. to destroy the church by all kinds of evils and falses. A. R. 498. To s. the mother upon the sons was a form of speaking in use amongst the ancients, who were principled in rep. and s., s. the destruction of the church and of all things appertaining to the church, either in general or in particular with the man who is a church; for by mother they understood the church, and by sons the truths appertaining to the church ; hence to s. the mother upon the sons den. to perish utterly; man also in such case perishes utterly, when the church, and what appertains to the church with him perishes, that is, when the affection of truth, which is properly s. by mother, and which constitutes the church with man, is destroyed. 4257.
SMITH STRENGTHENING the MELTER, the, is pred. of evil, and the smoothing the hammer, of what is false. (Isa. xli. 7.) 3527. S. s. truths in ultimates, the same as iron. A. E. 310.
SMITTEN s. those who are oppressed by the falses of ignorance. A. E. 357.
SMOKE s. divine truth in ultimates, because fire from which s. issues, s. love, moreover, s. s. the same as cloud in many places. A. R. 674. S. (Exod. xx.) s. divine truth, or the Word in its external form. 8916. S. (Rev. ix. 17) s. the pride of self-ascribed intelligence, which is the proprium of man's understanding, issuing from the love of self and of the world, as s. does from fire. A. R. 452. S. of her burning (Rev. lviii.) s. damnation in consequence of adulterating and profaning the Word. A. R. 787. S. of a great furnace (Rev. ix. 2) s. the falses of concupiscences streaming forth from evil loves. A. R. 422. S. of the incense (Rev. viii. 4) s. what is accepted and grateful. A. R. 394.
SMOOTH is pred. of truth, and, in an opp. sense, of what is false.   3527.
SMOOTH MAN, a (Gen. xxvii. 11), s. the quality of natural truth. 3527.
SMYRNA. (Rev. ii.) The church in S. s. those who are in goods as to life, but in falses as to doctrine, which i.s evident from the things written to it, when understood in the spiritual sense. A. R. 91.
SNAKE, or SERPENT. The bite of a s. or s. (Amos. v. 19) s. falsification of the Word, from the interior dominion of the false from evil. A. E. 781.
SNARE. To be in a s, s. to be taken and seduced by one's own evil and false. 10.641.
SNARES of DEATH. (Ps. xviii. 5.) The cords and s. of d. that compassed and prevented, s. temptations which being from hell, are also called the cords of hell, treating of the combats and victories of the Lord. L. 14.
SNORTING of HOUSES HEARD FROM DAN (Jer. viii. 16), s. reasoning concerning truth from a principle not affirmative. 3923.
SNOW s. truth in ultimates, for s. is from water, which s. the truths of faith. A. R. 47. S., or ice, cor. to the state of those who are in truth without good, or faith without charity. N. J. D. 114. S., also, from whiteness, is pred. of truth. 8459.
SOAP, WATERS of SNOW and PIT. (Job ix. 30.) Waters of s. den. truths which are or appear genuine; s. den. the good by which purification is effected; and the pit den. the false. A. E. 475.
SOCIETY. Every man as to his affections and consequent thoughts, is in s. with those who are in the world of spirits, and mediately through them with those who are either in heaven or in hell: the life of every man depends upon that connection. A. R. 552. If any one in another life be deprived of the s. in which he is, he becomes at first, as it were, almost lifeless, his life at such times being sustained only by an influx of heaven into his interiors. 1506. Heaven is distinguished into innumerable s.; in like manner, hell, der. from an opp. principle; and the mind of every man according to his will and consequent understanding, actually dwells in one s. and intends and thinks in like manner with those who compose the s. C. S. L. 530. Every one after death is bound to, or in fellowship with a certain s., and this immediately on his entering into the spiritual world; but a spirit in his first state knows nothing thereof, being then in his externals, and not as yet in internals. During his external state, he wanders hither and thither, wheresoever he pleases ; but still he is actually where his love is, that is, in s. with those who are in a similar love, while a spirit is in this state, he appears in many other places, and also everywhere as if present in body, but this is only an appearance; wherefore as soon as ever he is brought by the Lord into his governing love, he immediately disappears from the sight of others, and is amongst his like in the s. to which he is bound. L. J. 32. A whole angelic s. appears as one in a human form. But although all who are in one s. when together, appear as one in the likeness of a man, yet one s. is not a like man as another, for they are distinguished one from another, as human faces from one stock. H. and H. 68-70. Every s. of heaven daily increases, and as it increases it becomes more perfect; thus not only that s. is perfected, but also heaven in common, because s. constitute heaven. H. and H. 71.
SOCINIANS and ARIANS, the, although they do not deny the Lord, yet as they deny his divinity, they are without heaven and cannot be received by any angelic society. A. E. 778.
SOCKETS of GOLD. To be encompassed with s. of g. (Exod. xxviii. 13) s. to be continued from good, and der. existence and subsistence. 9847.
SODOM den. all evil originating in self-love.    2220.
SODOM and EGYPT (Rev. xi.) s. two infernal loves, which are the love of dominion grounded in self-love, and the love of rule grounded in the pride of self-der. intelligence. A. R. 502.
SODOM and GOMORRAH. S. s. the evil of self-love, and G. the false thence der. 2220. See Cry.
SOJOURN, to, in the Word s. to be instructed, for this reason, because sojourning and migration, or procession from place to place in heaven is nothing else but change of state, wherefore, wheresoever departure, sojourning, and translation from place to place occur in the Word, nothing is (hereby suggested to the angels than such a change of state, which has place with those of whom such things are pred.; changes of state have respect to the thoughts and the affections; changes of state in respect to the thoughts are knowledges, which in the world of spirits are exhibited by instructions, which also was a reason why the men of the most ancient church, as having communication with the angelic heaven, by sojourning, had a perception only of instruction. 1463.
SOJOURNER, or STRANGER (Matt. xxv. 32), s. one who is willing to be instructed. 4956.
SO.JOURNINGS, land of (Gen. xvii. 8), in reference to the Lord, s. the life which he procured to himself by knowledges, by temptation combats, and by victories therein, by his own strength. 2025.
SOLDIERS (John xix. 21) s. those who are of the church and who fight for divine truth. A. E. 64.
SOLE-SUBSISTING. He is so called from whom every thing is. D. L. W. 363.
SOLES of the FEET cor. to the sensual natural principle of man. A. E. 365. A. C. 2162. Beneath the s. of the f., are they, who in the life of the body, have lived to the world and to their own particular taste and temper, delighted with such things as are of the world, and have loved to live in splendor, but only from external cupidity, or that of the body, not from internal, or that of the mind. 4947. See Love of Dominion.
SOLICITUDE. They have care for the morrow who are not content with their own lot, who do not trust to the Divine, but themselves, and who look only to worldly and terrestrial things, and not to heavenly. (See Matt. vi. 25, etc.; Luke xii. 11, etc.) 8478.
SOLOMON was permitted to institute idolatrous worship, for the purpose that he might rep. the Lord's kingdom or church with all the religions in the universal habitable world, for the church instituted with the Israelitish or Jewish nation, was a rep. church, wherefore all the judgments and statutes of that church, rep. the spiritual things of the church, which are its internals; the people itself, the church; the king, the Lord; David, the Lord about to come into the world; and S., the Lord after his coming: and because the Lord after the glorification of his human had power over heaven and earth, as he says (Matt, xxviii. 18), therefore the rep. of him, S., appeared in glory and magnificence, and was in wisdom above all the kings of the earth, and also built the temple ; and he moreover, permitted and established the worship of many nations, by which were rep. the various religions in the world ; the like things his wives s. who were seven hundred in number, and his concubines who were three hundred in number (I Kings xi. 3), for a wife in the Word s. a church; and concubine, a religion. From these things it may be evident why it was given S. to build the temple, by which was s. the divine human of the Lord (John ii. 19, 21), and also the church: also that it was permitted him to establish idolatrous worship, and to marry so many wives. D. P. 245. S. rep. the Lord, both as to his celestial and spiritual kingdom. A. E. 654. See Queen of Sheba.
SOLOMON'S SONG, or the CANTICLES, is not amongst those books which are called Moses and the Prophets, because it has not an internal sense, but it is written in the ancient style, and is full of s. collected from the books of the ancient church, and of several particulars which in the ancient church s. celestial and spiritual love, and especially conjugial love. 3942.
SOLOMON'S TEMPLE rep. heaven and the church. A. E. 220. See Temple.
SON (Gen. v. 28) s. the rise of a new church. 526. S. (Gen. xxiv. 3) s. the Lord's rational principle as to good. 3024. S. (Gen. xxx. 7) s. a general truth. 3496. S. (Gen. xxxviii. 4) s. evil. 4823. S. (Gen. xxxviii. 5) s. what is idolatrous. 4825.
SON of GOD and SON of MAN. The Lord, at one time, calls himself the S., at another time, the S. of man; and this always according to the subject treated or spoken of. When his divinity, his unity with the Father, his divine power, faith in him, and the life that is from him, are treated of, he then calls himself the S. of G., as in John v. 17-20, and elsewhere. But where what relates to the passion, the judgment, his coming, and in general to redemption, salvation, reformation, and regeneration are treated of, he then calls himself the s. of m.; the reason whereof is, because he is then spoken of as the Word; and he, as the Word, suffers, judges, comes into the world, redeems, saves, reforms, and regenerates. The reason why the Lord calls himself the S. of m. when judgment is treated of, is because all judgment is executed according to the divine truth, which is in the Word; that this judges every one, the Lord himself declares in John xii. 47, 48, and iii. 17,18. L. 22. When the Lord put off the maternal humanity, lie put on the divine humanity, by virtue whereof he called himself the S. of m., as he frequently does in the Word of tho New Testament, and also the S. of G.; and by the S. of m. he s. the essential truth, and by the S. of G., the essential good which appertained to his human when made divine. 2159.
SON THAT is A STRANGER (Gen. xvii. 12) s. those who are not born within the church, consequently, who are not principled in the goods and truths of faith, because not in the knowledges thereof: song that are strangers also s. those who are in external worship. (Isa. Ixi. 5.) 2049.
SONG, a, s. acknowledgment and confession from joy of heart. A. R. 279.

SONS of BEREAVINGS (Isa. xlix. 18) s. truths restored to the vastated church. 5036.
SONS of CANAAN. (Gen. x.) They who are called the s. of C. were such as maintained external worship separate from internal. 1141.
SONS of CONCUBINES s. the spiritual.   3246.
SONS of the EAST s., in general, those who are of the Lord's spiritual kingdom. 3239.
SONS of a FATHER den. truths der. from good, thus from one origin ; all truths also are from one good. 5515.
SONS of GOD and SONS of LIGHT. The spiritual man, who is an image, is called by the Lord a s. of l. (John xii. 36.) But the celestial man, who is a likeness, is called a s. of G. (John i. 12.) 51.
SONS of GOD and DAUGHTERS of MAN. (Gen. vi. 2.) By the s. of G. seeing the d. of m. that they were good, and taking to themselves wives of all that they chose, is s. that they conjoined the doctrinals of faith with lusts, and that promiscuously. 569.
SONS of HAM. (Gen. x.) They who are named as the s. of H., were such us had a corrupt internal worship. 1141.
SONs of ISRAEL, camp of the, rep. the church.    C. L. 431.
SONS of JACOB, the, in general, s. all things which are in the Lord's divine natural. 4610. See Jacob.
SONS of JAPHETH. (Gen. x.) They who are named as the s. of J., were all such as maintained external worship cor. with internal, that is, who lived in simplicity, in friendship, and in mutual charity, and were acquainted with no other doctrinals than external rites. 1141.
SONS of the JAVANITES (Joel iv. 6) s. worship in externals separate from what is internal. 1151.
SONS of JERUSALEM (Joel iv.6) s. the spiritual things of faith, consequently, things internal. 1151.
SONS of JUDAH (Joel iv. 6) s. the celestial things of faith.    1151.
SONS of LEVI (Deut. xxi. 5) s. the affection of good and truth, which is charity. A. E. 414.
SONS of the LORD. They who immediately approach the Lord, are his sons, because they are born anew from him, that is, regenerated, wherefore, he called his disciples sons. (John xii. 36; xiii. 33; xxi. 5.) A. R. 890.
SONS of NUPTIALS (Luke v. 35) s. the men of the church. A. E. 1180. A. C. 4434.
SONS of OIL s. doctrinal truths.    A. E. 724.    See Olive Trees.
SONS of SHEM. (Gen. x.) They who were called the s. of S., were internal men, and worshipped the Lord, and loved their neighbor; whose church was nearly such as our true Christian church. 1141.
SONS of THUNDER (Mark iii. 17) s. truths from celestial good. A. E. 821.
SONS of ZiON (Joel ii. 23) s. those who are in wisdom from divine truth. A. E. 922.
SONS of ZION and SONS of JAVAN (Zech. ix. 13) s. the truths of the Word, internal and external. A. E. 724.
SONS and DAUGHTERS s. truths and goods, which may appear from many passages in the prophets: for the conceptions and births of the church in the Word, as of old time, are called s. and d. But according to the nature and quality of the church, such are its s. and d., or such are its truths and goods. 489.
SONG (Rev. v. 9) s. glorification, which is confession from joy of heart, because singing exalts, and causes aflection from the heart to break out into sound, and show itself intensely in its life. Nor are the Psalms of David any other than s., for they were set to music and sung, for which reason they are also called s. in many places. That s. were used for the sake of exalting the life of love and the joy der. from it, is evident from many passages. A. R. 279. By singing a new s., is s. an acknowledgment and glorification of the Lord, as being the only judge, redeemer, and saviour, consequently, the God of heaven and earth. A. R. 617.
SONG of MOSES and the SONG of the LAMB. (Rev. xv. 3.) The s. of M. s. confession grounded in a life according to the precepts of the law, which is the decalogue; and the s. of the L., confession grounded in faith concerning the divinity of the Lord's humanity. A. R. 662.
SONGS in the ancient and Jewish churches were prophetical concerning the Lord, especially that he should come into the world, and subdue the diabolical spirits, and liberate the faithful from their assaults. 8261, Heavenly s. are nothing else but affections made sonorous or affections expressed and modified by sounds, for as thoughts are expressed by discourse, so are affections by s.; and from the measure and flow of the modulation, angels perceive the object of the affection. C. S. L. 55.
SOOTHSAYERS.    Such as studied natural magic.   3698.
SORCERIES. In Rev. ix. 21, s. are mentioned in place of the eighth precept in the decalogue, " Thou shalt not bear false witness," for the three other evils, which are murders, fornications, and thefts, are there named. To bear false witness, s., in the natural sense, to act the part of a false witness, to lie and defame; and in the spiritual sense, to confirm and persuade that what is false is true, and that what is evil is good; from which it is evident, that by sorcery is s. to persuade to what is false, and thus to destroy truth. S. were in use among the ancients, and were performed in three ways; first, by keeping the hearing and thus the mind of another continually intent upon his words and sayings, without retaining aught from them; and, at the same time, by an aspiration and inspiration of thought conjoined with affection, by means of the breath, into the sound of the voice, whereby the hearer is incapable of thinking any thing from himself; in this manner did the lovers of falsehood pour in their falses with violence. Secondly, they infused a persuasion, which was done by detaining the mind from every thing of a contrary nature, and directing the attention exclusively to the idea involved in that which was uttered by themselves, hence the spiritual sphere of his mind dispelled the spiritual sphere of the mind of another, and stifled it; this was the kind of spiritual fascination which the magi of old made use of, and which was spoken of as the tying up and binding the understanding. The latter kind of sorcery pertained only to the spirit or thought, but the former to the lips or speech also. Thirdly, the hearer kept his mind so fixed in his own opinion, that he almost shut his ears against hearing any thing from the speaker, which was done by holding the breath, and sometimes by a tacit muttering, and thus by a continual negation of his adversary's sentiment. This kind of sorcery was practised by those who heard others, but the two former by those who spake to others. These three kinds of s. prevailed among the ancients, and prevail still among infernal spirits; but with men in the world there remains only the third kind, and this with those, who, from the pride of their own intelligence, have confirmed in themselves the falses of religion; for these, when they hear things contrary, admit them no further into their thought than to mere contact, and then from the interior recess of their mind they emit, as it were, fire which consumes them, about which the other knows nothing except by conjecture drawn from the countenance and the sound of the voice in the reply, provided the sorcerer does not, by dissimulation, restrain that fire, or what is the same, the anger of his pride. This of sorcery operates at the present day, to prevent truths from being accepted, and, with many, to their not being understood. That in ancient times many magical arts prevailed, and among these, s., is evident from Moses: "When thou art come into the land thou shall not learn to do after the abominations of those nations, there shall not be found among, you one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divinations, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, or a charmer of incantations, and a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer; for all these things are an abomination unto Jehovah." (Deut. xviii. 9, 10, 11.) On the other hand, incantations s. the rejection of falsity by truths, which was also effected by tacitly thinking and whispering, from a zeal for truth in opposition to falsehood. (See Isa. iii. 1, 2, 7; xxvi. 16; Ps. lviii. 17 ; Jer. viii. 17.) A. R. 462.
SORCERIES and INCHANTMENTS (Isa. xlvii. 9) are pred. of the profanation of truth. 1368.
SORE (Rev. xvi. 2) s. interior evils and falses destructive of all good and truth in the church; by noisome or noxious is  s. destructive, and evil cannot but destroy good, and falsehood truth. The reason why s. has this signification is, because s. of the body proceed from a corrupt state of the blood or some other interior malignity ; it is the same with s., when understood in a spiritual sense, these proceed from concupiscences and their delights which are interior causes; evil itself, which is s. by s., and appears pleasant in externals, inwardly in itself conceals concupiscences, from which it proceeds, and of which it is compounded. Ulcers and wounds s. evils in extremes, or external parts, proceeding from interior evils, which are concupiscences, also in the following passages: Isa. i. 6, 7; Ps. xxxviii. 5, 6; Isa. xxx. 26; Deut. xxviii. 15, 27, 35. Neither by the boil breaking out with blains upon man and upon beast in Egypt (Exod. ix. 8-11), was any thing else s.; for the miracles performed in Egypt s. the evils and falses in which they were principled. And inasmuch as the Jewish nation were guilty of profaning the Word, which profanation is s. by leprosy, therefore tho leprosy was not only in their flesh, but also in their clothes, houses, and vessels; and the kinds of profanation are s. by the various evils of leprosy, which were tumors, ulcerous tumors, white and red spots, abscesses, scalds, freckled spots, scurfs, etc. (Lev. xiii. 1 to the end.) For the church with that nation was a rep. church, in which internals were rep. by cor. externals. A. R. 678.
SORROW. The woman condemned to bring forth sons in s. den. the anxieties and combats attending the production of truths. 261-3.
SOUL. 1. That the term s., in general, s. man; 2. That the term s., specifically, s. the life of the body; 3. That the term s. s. the life of the spirit of man; 4. That the term s. s. the faculty of understanding; 5. That the term s. s. divine truth ; 6. That the term s. s. spiritual life; 7. That the living s. s. life in general. A. E. 750. That the s. of the hungry s. the understanding of good. A. E. 750. S., in the celestial sense, s. the divine proceeding from the Lord. A. E. 750. S. (Gen. ix. 4) is pred. of the life of the regenerate man, which is separate from the will-principle of man. 1000. S. (Isa. xxix. 8) s. the faith of the false der. from no understanding of truth. A. E. 750. S. (Jer. xxxi. 12, 25) s. the affection of truth and good. 2930. S. (Ezek. xxvii. 13; Rev xviii. 13) s. the science of truth in the natural man. A. E. 750. To require the s. of man is to vindicate profanation. (Gen. ix. 5.) 1004. By not loving their s. (Rev. xii. 11) is s. not to love self and the world more than the Lord ; and the things which are of the Lord unto death s. to be willing to die rather; consequently, it is to love the Lord above all things, and one's neighbor as one's self (Matt. xxii. 35-38), and to be willing to die rather than to recede from those two loves. The same is s. by the following passages: Matt. x. 39; Luke xvii. 33; John xii. 25; Matt. xvi. 21, 25; Mark viii. 35, 36, 37; Luke ix. 24, 25. A. R. 556. The s. of every man, from its origin, is heavenly, wherefore, it receives influx immediately from the Lord, for it receives from him the marriage of love and wisdom, or of good and truth, and this influx makes him man, and distinguishes him from beasts. C. S. L. 482. The s. of man is nothing else but the internal man, and the internal man, after death, appears altogether as a man in the world, with a like face, a like body, a like sensitive and thinking faculty. 5511. The s. of man, which lives after death, is his spirit; and this is in perfect form a man, and the s. of this form is the will and understanding, and the s. of these is love and wisdom from the Lord, and these two constitute the life of man. D. L. W. 394, 395. The s. of the Lord was Jehovah. N. J. D. 298. U. T, 167.
SOUL and HEART. By s. and h. is meant the life of man, is plain, but the life of man is from his will and understanding, or spiritually speaking, from love and wisdom, also from charity and faith; and the life of the will from the good of love, or of charity, is meant by the h., and the life of the understanding from the truths of wisdom, or of faith, is meant by the s.: this is what is meant by s. and h. in Matt. xxii. 3; Mark xii. 30, 33 ; Luke x. 27 ; Deut. vi. 5; x. 11; xi. 14; xxvi. 16 ; Jer. xxxii. 41, and other places; it is the same in those passages where the h. is mentioned by itself, and the s. by itself. The reason of their being named, is grounded in the cor. of the h. with the will and love, and of the animation or respiration of the lungs with the understanding and wisdom. A. R. 681.
SOUL and BODY. The s. of the offspring is from the father, and its clothing from the mother. That the s. is from the father, is doubted by no wise man; it is also manifestly conspicuous from minds, and likewise from faces which are types of minds, in descendants who proceed from fathers of families in just series; for the father returns, as in effigy, if not in his sons, yet, in his grandsons and great-grandsons; and this by reason that the s. constitutes the inmost principle of man, and this inmost principle may be covered and concealed by the offspring nearest in descent, but, nevertheless, it comes forth and manifests itself in the more remote issue. That the s. is from the father, and the clothing from the mother, may be ill. by things analogous in the vegetable kingdom; in this kingdom the earth or ground is the common mother, which in itself, as in a womb, receives and clothes seeds, yea, as it were, conceives, bears, brings forth, and educates them, as a mother her offspring from the father. C. S. L. 206. The human b. exists and subsists by the s., wherefore, in the b., all and singular things are rep. of its s.; the s. regards uses and ends, but the b. is employed in promoting, or bringing into effect, such uses and ends. 1807. See Lord.
SOUL and SPIRIT. (Isa. xxvi. 9.) S. s. the affection of truth, and s., the affection of good. 2930.
SOUL of BEASTS, the, considered in itself, is spiritual; for affection, of whatever kind it be, whether it be good or evil, is spiritual, for it is a derivation of some love, and der. its origin from the heat and light, which proceed from the Lord as a sun; and whatsoever proceeds thence is spiritual. Beasts and wild beasts, whose souls are similar evil affections, as mice, venomous serpents, crocodiles, basilisks, or cocatrices, vipers, etc., with the various kind
