AC.387, 창4:14, '주께서 오늘 이 지면에서 나를 쫓아내시온즉' (AC.385-391)

14절, 주께서 오늘 이 지면에서 나를 쫓아내시온즉 내가 주의 낯을 뵈옵지 못하리니 내가 땅에서 피하며 유리하는 자가 될지라 무릇 나를 만나는 자마다 나를 죽이겠나이다 Behold thou hast cast me out this day from the faces of the ground, and from thy faces shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth; and it shall come to pass that everyone that findeth me shall slay me.

 

387

That to be “hid from thy faces” signifies to be separated from all the good of the faith of love is evident from the signification of the “faces of Jehovah.” The “face of Jehovah,” as before said, is mercy, from which proceed all the goods of the faith of love, and therefore the goods of faith are here signified by his “faces.”
