AC 8910 - Thou shalt not covet.....

AC 8910
Thou shall not covet thy neighbor's house,
thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife,
and his manservant, and his maidservant,
and his ox, and his ass,
and anything that is thy neighbor's.

That this signifies that one must beware of the love of self and of the world,
and thus lest the evils
which are contained in the preceding commandments
become of the will and so come forth,
is evident from the signification of
"coveting" [concupiscere], as being to will from an evil love.
That "coveting" has this signification,
is because all concupiscence is of some love;
for nothing is coveted [concupiscitur] unless it is loved,
and therefore concupiscence [or "coveting"] is the continuous of love,
in this case of the love of self or of the world,
and is as it were the life of its breath.
For that which an evil love breathes is called "concupiscence,"
but that which a good love breathes is called "desire."
Love itself belongs to the other part of the mind, which is called the will,
for whatever a person loves he wills. . .
"thou shalt not covet the things that are thy neighbor's,"
is signified that one must beware lest they become of the will;
for the things which become of the will are appropriated to a person,
because the will is the person himself.

AC 8908 - Thou shalt not answer against thy neighbor the witness of a lie.

AC 8908.
Thou shalt not answer against thy neighbor the witness of a lie.
That this signifies that good is not to be called evil, nor truth falsity;
thus conversely,
neither is evil to be called good, nor falsity truth. . ..

[2] All with whom there reigns the love of self or the love of the world,
that is, who have as their end eminence, or honors, or wealth, or gain,
do not hesitate to say and persuade others that what is just is unjust,
and that what is unjust is just,
and thus to act the part of witnesses of a lie.
The reason why they are of such a character
is that their will is wholly subject to these loves and their cupidities,
and is wholly occupied and possessed by them;
and then the understanding, which is the other part of the mind,
is indeed able to see what is just and what is unjust;
but is not willing to see,
because the will prevails over the understanding,
and by means of influx persuades it, and at last also blinds it.
These same persons neither have conscience,
nor do they know that it belongs to conscience to call that just which is just,
for no other reason than because it is just,
that is, from the love of what is just.

AC 8905 - Thou shalt not steal

AC 8905
Thou shalt not steal,
signifies that no one's spiritual goods must be taken away from him,
and that those things which belong to the Lord are not to be attributed to self.

AC 8903 - Thou shalt not commit adultery

AC 8903
Thou shalt not commit adultery,
signifies that those things which are of the doctrine of faith and of charity
are not to be perverted;
thus that the Word is not to be applied to confirm evils and falsities;
also that the laws of order are not to be upset.

AC 8902 - Thous shalt not kill. Exodus 22:13)

AC 8902
Thou shalt not kill.
That this signifies not to take away spiritual life from anyone,
also not to extinguish faith and charity,
as also not to hold the neighbor in hatred . . ..

The reason why "not to kill" is also in the internal sense
not to hold the neighbor in hatred,
is that he who holds in hatred continually wishes to kill,
and also would kill in act
unless prevented by the fear of the penalty,
of the loss of life, of reputation, and the like.
For hatred is of evil,
is contrary to charity,
and breathes nothing but the murder of him whom it hates:
in the world the murder of his body;
in the other life the murder of his soul.

AC 8897 - Honor thy father and thy mother. (Exodus 20:12)

AC 8897
Honor thy father and thy mother.
That this signifies love for good and truth,
in the supreme sense for the Lord and for His kingdom...
for when he loves, he also honors,
for in honor there is love.

AC 8888. 8893 - resting on the Sabbath

AC 8888 [3]
... the kingdom of the Lord in the heavens
is called a perpetual sabbath,
thus a perpetual rest and peace,
and there are no longer there six days of labor.

AC 8893
That by "rest in the seventh day" is signified peace and the good of love,
is because before a person is regenerated, or created anew,
he is in an untranquil and restless state,
for his natural life then fights with his spiritual life,
and wishes to rule over it.
Consequently at this time the Lord has labor,
for He fights for a person against the hells which assault.
But as soon as the good of love has been implanted,
the combat ceases,
and rest ensues,
for the person is then introduced into heaven,
and is led by the Lord according to the laws of order there,
thus in peace.

AC 8881 - "And keep My commandments" (Exodus 20:6)

AC 8881
That "to keep" these denotes to receive,
is because in order that the truths
which are called the truths of faith may be of faith,
and may be living with a person,
these also flow in from the Lord.
They are indeed learned by a person,
and stored up in the memory,
but so long as a person does not will them,
and consequently does not do them,
they do not become living.

AC 8863 - the beginning, first & second Commandments

AC 8863
"I am Jehovah thy God,"
signifies the Lord as to the Divine Human
universally reigning in each and all things of good and truth;
"who brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt,
out of the house of servants,"
signifies liberation by Him from hell;
"Thou shalt have no other gods before My faces,"
signifies that truths must not be thought of
from any other source than the Lord;
"Thou shalt not make unto thee a graven image,"
signifies not from self-intelligence;
"nor any likeness,"
signifies a semblance of those things which are from the Divine;
"of that which is in the heavens above,
or that which is in the earth beneath,"
signifies of those things which are in spiritual light,
or of those which are in natural light;
"or that which is in the waters under the earth,"
signifies of those which are in the sensuous corporeal;
"thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them,"
signifies no Divine worship is to be paid them;
"for I Jehovah thy God,"
signifies the Divine from the Lord in each and all things;
"am a zealous God,"
signifies that falsity and evil are therefrom (the sensuous corporeal);
"visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons,"
signifies the consequent prolification of falsity derived from evil;
"upon the thirds and upon the fourths,"
signifies in a long series, and the conjunction of them;
"of them that hate Me,"
signifies who absolutely reject the Divine of the Lord;
"and doing mercy unto thousands,"
signifies good and truth unto them forever;
"of them that love Me,"
signifies who receive the good of love;
"and keep My commandments,"
signifies who receive the truths of faith;
"Thou shalt not take the name of Jehovah thy God in vain,"
signifies profanings and blasphemings of the truth and good of faith;
"for Jehovah will not hold him guiltless
that taketh His name in vain,"
signifies that these things cannot be forgiven.

AC 8856 - When a person is being regenerated

AC 8856
When a person is being regenerated,
charity is implanted by means of faith,
even until it becomes that which rules;
and when charity has become this,
he has a new life,
for it is then continually present in his thought,
and continually in his will,
nay, in every single thing of them,
even when he is meditating about other things,
and when he is engaged in business.

AC 8850 - heaven-made

AC 8850
... they do not fear death,
except on account of leaving their consort,
their children, or their parents;
for they know that they will live after death,
and that they do not go out of life,
because they go into heaven;
and therefore they do not speak of dying,
but of being heaven-made.

AC 8819 - the Lord appears to everyone according to his quality

AC 8819
. . . the Lord appears to everyone according to his quality . . . .

[2]
The reason for this is
that no one can see God otherwise
than from such things as are in himself,
so that he who is in hatred sees Him from hatred,
he who is in unmercifulness sees Him in unmercifulness;
and on the other hand,
they who are in charity and mercy
see Him from, and thus in, charity and mercy.

AC 8813 - the Divine Providence

AC 8813 [3]
The Divine Providence of the Lord...
is truth Divine proceeding from
the Divine good of the Lord....

AC 8805 - "Mount Sinai", "People Israel", "Moses"

AC 8805
It is important to know what is specifically signified by "Mount Sinai;" and also what is represented by the people Israel, and likewise what by Moses in this chapter and in the following chapters of the book of Exodus.

[2] By "MOUNT SINAI" is specifically signified heaven,
out of which truths flow in from the Lord;
therefore by "the coming down of Jehovah upon that mountain"
is signified His presence in heaven.
And as heaven, in which Jehovah is, that is, the Lord,
is signified by "Mount Sinai,"
by it is also signified Divine good united to Divine truth there,
for from this heaven is heaven.

[3] But by the "PEOPLE ISRAEL" near this mountain
is represented the spiritual church
as to the good in which the truths of faith are to be implanted;
for it has been already shown
that they who are of the spiritual church have two states;
the former when they are led through truths to good,
the latter when they are in good and from good in truths;
in the present case,
when they are in the good in which truths are to be implanted,
which state is a middle state between the former and the latter.
The truths which are implanted in good are contained in those things
which were promulgated from Mount Sinai by the Lord,
and were communicated by Moses to the people.

[4] By "MOSES" in this chapter and in the following chapters
is represented truth from the Divine beneath heaven
conjoined with truth Divine in heaven,
and consequently mediating between the Divine in heaven
and the good in which truths are to be implanted
which belongs to the spiritual church,
thus mediating between the Lord and the people.

It is important to know these things for the sake of understanding what follows in the book of Exodus.

From all this it can also be seen
that by "Moses went down from the mountain unto the people"
is signified application and preparation
by means of truth from the Divine
for receiving truths in good.

AC 8793 - promulgated

Definition from: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/promulgated

tr.v. prom·ul·gat·ed, prom·ul·gat·ing, prom·ul·gates

1. To make known (a decree, for example) by public declaration;
announce officially.

2. To put (a law) into effect by formal public announcement.

AC 8793
The ten commandments at that time promulgated from Mount Sinai
are internal truths;
and the laws and statutes,
which are commanded in the following chapters,
are external truths;
by both of these are signified
the truths which are to be implanted in good.

AC 8780, 8783 - degrees of revelation (Exodus 19:9)

AC 8780 [2]
And Jehovah said unto Moses.
By revelation here in the internal sense is not meant revelation
such as was made to the Israelitish people from Mount Sinai,
namely, that the Lord spoke in a loud voice,
and the people standing around heard;
but such a revelation is meant as is not made with a loud voice,
but inwardly in a person.
This revelation is made by the enlightening of the internal sight,
which is of the understanding,
when a man who is in the affection of truth from good is reading the Word.
This enlightening is then effected by the light of heaven,
which is from the Lord as the sun there....
When the understanding is enlightened by that Divine light,
it then perceives that to be true which is true,
it acknowledges it inwardly in itself, and as it were sees it.
Such is the revelation of those
who are in the affection of truth from good when they are reading the Word.

AC 8783
Truth Divine is not received by anyone
unless it has been accommodated to his apprehension,
consequently unless it appears in a natural form and shape;
for at first human minds apprehend none but earthly and worldly things,
and not at all spiritual and heavenly things.
Wherefore if spiritual and heavenly things were set forth nakedly,
they would be rejected as if they were nothing,
according to the Lord's words in John:

If I have told you earthly things, and you believe not,
how shall you believe, if I told you heavenly things?
(John 3:12).

AC 8760 - above the heavens and 'in heaven'

AC 8760 [2]
It is said, the Divine truth in heaven,
and afterward, the Divine good in heaven,
for the reason that the Divine Itself is far above the heavens,
not only the Divine good itself,
but also the Divine truth itself
which proceeds immediately from the Divine good.
That these are far above heaven,
is because in itself the Divine is infinite,
and the infinite cannot be conjoined with finite things,
thus not with the angels in the heavens,
except by the putting on of something finite,
and thus by accommodation to reception.
The Divine good itself is also in itself an infinite flame of ardor,
that is, of love, and this flame no angel in heaven can bear,
for he would be consumed like a man
if the flame of the sun were to touch him without intermediate tempering.
Moreover if the light from the flame of the Divine love,
which light is Divine truth,
were to flow in without abatement from its own fiery splendor,
it would blind all who are in heaven.
From all this it can be seen what the difference is
between the Divine good and Divine truth above the heavens,
and the Divine good and Divine truth in the heavens....

AC 8753, 8754 - Sinai

AC 8753 [2]
As regards "Mount Sinai,"
it signifies in the supreme sense Divine truth from Divine good;
"mountain," Divine good;
and "Sinai," Divine truth.

AC 8754
A few words shall here be said
about the good in which truths are to be implanted,
which good is here signified by "the wilderness of Sinai."
He who is being regenerated is led by means of truth
to the intent that he may come to good,
that is, may know it, and then will it, and finally do it.
But when he is being led to good by means of truth,
he first comes to the good
in which the truths of faith have not yet been implanted;
for truths cannot be implanted until he is in good.
Before this they are indeed known,
because they are in the memory,
but at this time they are not in good,
but are outside of good.
Afterward when the man receives new life,
which he first receives when he is in good,
the truths of faith are implanted,
and as it were enter upon a marriage with good in the internal man.

AC 8743, 8745 - harmony between the external & internal

AC 8743
With the person who has not been regenerated
the external or natural person commands,
and the internal or spiritual person serves;
but with the person who has been regenerated
the internal or spiritual person commands,
and the external or natural serves.
This inversion cannot possibly exist
except through regeneration by the Lord.

AC 8745
But when the external person has been regenerated,
the internal person makes all good consist
in thinking well of the neighbor and willing well to him,
and the external person makes all good consist
in speaking well of him and acting well toward him;
and at last each has as its end
to love the neighbor and to love the Lord,
and not as before to love self and to love the world.
In this case the external or natural person serves,
and the internal or spiritual person commands.

AC 8725 - good truths

AC 8725
... to will truths,
and from this to do them,
makes them to be good.
