1189、“迦拉”表示来源于恶欲的虚假。这一点无法从圣言的预言部分，只能从历史部分得以证实，因为历史部分记载了亚述王将以色列人掳到亚述，把他们安置在哈腊与歌散的哈博河边，并玛代人的城邑（列王纪下17:6；18:11）。此处的历史细节并不涉及别的。事实上，如前所述（64，66:2，117:2，755:4-5，855，1025:2，1140，1143，1183节），圣言的一切历史都具有灵义，都是代表。因此，“以色列”在此是指败坏的属灵教会，“亚述”是指推理，“迦拉”是指这种虚假。

[NCE]1189. The symbolism of Calah as falsity rising out of our cravings cannot be demonstrated by verses from the prophets, yet it can be shown from the histories in the Word. The second book of Kings 17:6 and 18:11 says that the king of Assyria carried the descendants of Israel off into Assyria and settled them in Calah,{*1} and in Habor on the river Gozan, and in the cities of Media. The historical details here involve no other meaning. All the histories of the Word are symbolic and representative, as noted [64, 66:2, 117:2, 755:4-5, 855, 1025:2, 1140, 1143, 1183]. So Israel here is the spiritual church corrupted, Assyria is rationalization, and Calah is falsity rising out of our cravings.
Footnotes:
{*1} Swedenborg here apparently takes the names of two cities as the same, although they differ slightly in spelling in the original Hebrew. The name of the city here in Genesis 10:12 is כָּלַח (kālaḥ), whereas the name of the city in 2 Kings 17:6 and 18:11 is חֲלַח (ḥălaḥ). [LHC]

1189. That falsities originating from cupidities are signified by "Calah," cannot be confirmed from the prophetical, but only from the historical parts of the Word, in that the king of Asshur carried the sons of Israel into Asshur, or Assyria, and made them dwell in Calah, and in Habor, by the river Gozan, and in the cities of Media (2 Kings 17:6; 18:11). The historical facts here involve nothing else, for, as was said before, all the historicals of the Word are significative and representative. Thus "Israel" here is the perverted spiritual church; "Asshur" is reasoning; and "Calah" is such falsity.
Elliott(1983-1999) 1189
1189. 'Calah' means falsities which have their origins in evil desires. This cannot be confirmed from prophetical, but only from the historical portions of the Word, which record that the king of Asshur carried away the children of Israel into Asshur, or Assyria, and made them dwell in Calah, and in Habor, by the river Gozan, and in the cities of Media, 2 Kings 17:6; 18:11. Here the historical details embody nothing else. In fact, as has been stated, all historical accounts in the Word carry a spiritual meaning and are representative. Thus 'Israel' here means the corrupted spiritual Church, 'Asshur' reasoning, and 'Calah' such falsity.
Latin(1748-1756) 1189
1189. Quod per 'Calah' significentur falsa oriunda ex cupiditatibus, ex propheticis non confirmari potest, sed usque ex historicis Verbi, 'Quod rex Asshuris transportaverit filios Israelis in Asshur seu Assyriam, et habitare eos fecerit in Calah, et in Habor, ad fluvium Gozan et in urbibus Mediae, 2 Reg. xvii 6; xviii 11, ubi historica nihil aliud involvunt; omnia enim historica Verbi, ut dictum, sunt significativa et repraesentativa; ita 'Israel' hic est perversa Ecclesia spiritualis 'Asshur' ratiocinatio, 'Calah' falsitas talis.
