AC 6693 - Cast Every Son Into the River

AC 6693

Saying, Every son that is born,
you shall cast him forth into the river.
(Exodus 1:22)

That this signifies that they should immerse in falsities
all truths which appear,
is evident from the signification of
"son," as being truth;
and from the signification of "river,"
as being things that belong to intelligence,
here in the opposite sense,
things contrary, thus falsities.
That "to cast forth" denotes to immerse is clear.
