4906# "把她拉出来烧死"象征着要根除某些事物，具体指由他玛所代表的教会内在事物。这里的"拉出来"针对真理，而"烧死"则针对良善，两者都表示要被根除。在圣言的多处经文中，"烧"都象征着对良善的根除。
在属灵意义上，"火与火焰"代表良善，因此热象征良善的情感。但在相反意义上，火与火焰代表邪恶，其热则象征邪恶的情感。实际上，良善就是赋予生命的灵性之火，而邪恶则是具有毁灭性的火与热。
爱之良善确实就是灵性之火，对这良善的情感就是灵性之热。这一点通过观察和反思就能明白：人的生命之火与热来自于爱，这可以从当爱消退时人就会变得冰冷，而越有爱就越温暖这一现象看出。若非来自爱这个源头，人就不可能拥有生命。然而，这种灵性之火或热在恶人那里会转变性质，成为具有焚烧和毁灭作用的火。
即使是不具备理性的动物，也会接受灵性之热的流注而获得生命，但这种生命是根据它们器官形态的接受程度而定的。这就是为什么动物会有与生俱来的本能和情感，比如蜜蜂等动物所表现出的特性。
4906.“拉出她来，把她烧了”表它应被灭绝，即他玛所代表的教会内在应被灭绝。这从“拉出她来，把她烧了”的含义清楚可知，“拉出她来，把她烧了”是指被灭绝。“拉出来”论及真理，“烧了”论及要被灭绝的良善。“烧”论及良善的灭绝，这一点从圣言中的许多经文明显看出来；原因在于，“火”和“火焰”在灵义上表示良善，因而“热”表示对良善的情感；但就反面意义而言，“火”和“火焰”表示邪恶，因而“热”表示对邪恶的情感（1297，1861，2446节）。此外，良善实实在在是属灵之火，赋予生命的属灵之热由此放射出来；邪恶也是火，焚毁人的热由此放射出来。凡将注意力转向这个问题，并反思它的人都能清楚看出，爱之良善是属灵之火，对该良善的情感是属灵之热。事实上，人若深入思考人的生命之火和热出自何处，就会发现爱是它的源头；因为一旦爱停止，人就变冷；而爱越在他里面增长，他就变得越温暖。除非人的生命之火和热出自这个源头，否则他根本不可能拥有生命。但产生生命的这属灵之火或热却在恶人当中变得一团焚毁的烈火，因为对他们来说，它就转化为这种火。在没有理性的活物或动物当中，属灵之热同样流入进来，并带来生命，但这生命照在其器官形式中的接受而各异，因此，它们的知识和情感是与生俱来的，如蜜蜂和其它生物。

4906. Bring her forth, and let her be burnt. That this signifies that it ought to be extirpated, namely, the internal of the church which is represented by Tamar, is evident from the signification of "bringing her forth and burning her," as being to extirpate. "Bringing forth" is predicated of the truth, and "burning" of the good, which was to be extirpated. That "burning" is predicated of the extirpation of good is evident from many passages in the Word; and the reason is that "fire" and "flame" in the spiritual sense denote good, and hence "heat" denotes the affection of good; but in the opposite sense "fire" and "flame" denote evil, and the "heat" thence the affection of evil (n. 1297, 1861, 2446). Moreover, good is actually spiritual fire, from which comes the spiritual heat which vivifies, and evil is the fire and the consequent heat which consumes. That the good of love is spiritual fire, and that the affection of this good is spiritual heat, will be very evident to one who attends and reflects; for if he reflects whence man has vital fire and heat, he will find that it is from love; because as soon as love ceases, the man grows cold, while the more he is in love, the warmer he grows. Unless man's vitality were from this origin he could have no life at all. But this spiritual fire or heat which produces life becomes a burning and consuming fire with the evil, for with them it is turned into this kind of fire. With animals devoid of reason spiritual heat likewise flows in and produces life, but a life according to the reception in their organic forms, for which reason their knowledges and affections are connate, as with bees and the rest.

4906. 'Bring her out, and let her be burnt' means that it - that is to say, the internal aspect of the Church which Tamar represented - should be exterminated. This is clear from the meaning of 'bringing her out, and burning her' as exterminating, 'bringing out' having reference to the truth and 'burning' to the good which were to be exterminated. The use of 'burning' in reference to the extermination of good is clear from many places in the Word. The reason for the usage is that in the spiritual sense 'fire' and 'flame' mean good, 934, and the heat radiated from them the affection for good, while 'fire' and 'flame' in the contrary sense mean evil, and the heat radiated from these the affection for evil, 1297, 1861, 2446. Also, in actual fact good is spiritual fire from which spiritual heat which is life-giving is radiated; and evil too is a fire, but from this a heat which is a consuming one is radiated. Anyone who turns his attention to this matter and reflects on it can plainly see that the good of love is spiritual fire, and that the affection for that good is spiritual heat if he reflects on the question where do man's vital fire and heat come from, he will discover that love is the source of it; for as soon as love departs a person begins to grow cold, but as love increases in him he becomes wanner. Unless man's vital fire and heat came from that source he could not possibly have life at all. But this life-bringing fire or spiritual heat becomes among the evil a destroying and consuming fire, for in their case it is converted into this kind of fire. Among living creatures which do not possess reason spiritual heat likewise flows in and brings life, but life which is varied, depending on the ways in which their organic forms, and therefore their knowledge and innate affections receive that life, as with bees and all other creatures.
