1738、“亚伯兰就把所有的拿出十分之一来给他”表示通过胜利所获得的余剩。这从“十分之一”的含义清楚可知，“十分之一”是指余剩，如前所述（576节）。至于何为余剩，可参看前文（468，530，560，561，661，1050节）；那里说明，它们是一个人被赋予的爱和仁的一切状态，因而是纯真和平安的一切状态。他从婴孩时期就被赋予这些状态，只是随着他长大成人，这种赋予逐渐减少。但当一个人正在重生时，除了已经有的余剩外，他还会接受新的余剩，因而接受新生命，因为一个人正是从余剩或凭余剩而为人。事实上，没有爱和仁的状态，以及纯真的状态（这些状态会将自己灌输到他生命的其它所有状态中），一个人就不再是人，而是比任何野兽都更坏。本节所指的，正是在试探的争战中所获得的余剩。这些余剩就是亚伯兰给麦基洗德的十分之一所表示的。它们也都是主通过不断的争战和胜利给自己所积累的爱的一切属天事物，祂通过争战和胜利不断与神性本质合一，直到祂的人身或人性本质也变成爱，或生命的存在（本质），也就是耶和华。

[NCE]1738. And [Abram] gave him a tenth of everything symbolizes the remnant gained through victory. This can be seen from the symbolism of tenths, or tithes, as a remnant, which was discussed previously (576). For the definition of a remnant, see 468, 530, 560, 561, 661, 1050. To be specific, a remnant is all the phases of love and charity — and therefore all the phases of innocence and peace — with which we are gifted. These states are given to us from infancy on, although they dwindle as we continue on into adulthood, until we start to regenerate. Then in addition to the earlier remnant, we also receive a new remnant, and with it, new life. It is our remnant that makes us human. When we lack an outlook of love and charity and an outlook of innocence that permeate all the other moods of our life, we are not human but worse than any wild animal.
The remnant acquired during spiritual battle is what is meant here. This remnant is what the tithes that Abram gave Melchizedek symbolize. It is all the heavenly qualities of love that the Lord amassed through his unceasing struggles and victories, by which he was constantly integrating his divine nature, until finally his human side likewise became love, or in other words, the vital essence of life — that is, Jehovah.

1738. And he gave him tithes of all. That this signifies remains derived from victory, is evident from the signification of "tithes" as being remains (spoken of before, n. 576). But what remains are may be seen above (n. 468, 530, 560, 561, 661, 1050), namely, that they are all the states of love and charity, and consequently all the states of innocence and peace, with which a man is gifted. These states are given to man from infancy, but less by degrees as the man advances into adult age. But when a man is being regenerated, he then receives new remains also, besides the former, thus new life. For it is from remains, or by remains, that a man is a man; for without the state of love and charity, and without the state of innocence-which states insinuate themselves into the other states of his life-a man is not a man, but is worse than any wild beast. The remains acquired in the combats of temptations are those which are here meant. These remains are what are signified by the tithes given to Melchizedek by Abram; and they are all the celestial things of love which the Lord procured to Himself by the continual combats and victories by which He was continually being united to His Divine Essence, until His Human Essence in like manner became Love, or the Being of life, that is, Jehovah.
Elliott(1983-1999) 1738
1738. 'And he gave him a tenth of everything' means remnants gained from victory. This is clear from the meaning of 'tenths' as remnants, dealt with already in 576. For what remnants are however, see 468, 530, 560, 561, 661, 1050, where it is shown that they are all the states of love and charity, and all the states of innocence and peace, with which a person is endowed. He is endowed with these states from earliest childhood, though that endowment gradually diminishes as he advances into adult life. But while a person is being regenerated he receives, in addition to those he has already, new remnants, and thus new life; for it is from, or by means of, remnants that a person is enabled to be human. In fact, if devoid of the state of love and charity, and if devoid of the state of innocence - states that instill themselves into all the other states of his life-a person is no longer human, but worse than any wild animal. It is remnants acquired during the conflicts brought about by temptations that are meant in the present verse. These remnants are what the tenths given to Melchizedek by Abram mean. They are also all the celestial things of love which the Lord gathered to Himself through the constant conflicts and victories by means of which He was constantly being united to the Divine Essence until the point was reached when His Human Essence as well had become Love, or the Being (Esse) of life, that is, Jehovah.

1738. 'Et dedit illi decimas de omnibus': quod significet reliquias ex victoria, constat ex significatione 'decimarum' quod sint 'reliquiae,' de qua prius n. 576; quid autem reliquiae, videatur n. 468, 530, 560, 561, 661, 1050, nempe quod sint omnes status amoris et charitatis, proinde omnes status innocentiae et pacis quibus donatur homo; hi status donantur homini ab infantia, sed minus per gradus ut homo in adultam aetatem pergit; at cum regeneratur homo, tunc praeter priores etiam novas reliquias accipit, ita novam vitam; nam homo a reliquiis seu per reliquias habet ut sit homo; homo enim absque statu amoris et charitatis, et absque statu innocentiae, qui se insinuant ceteris ejus vitae statibus, non est homo, sed pejor omni fera. Reliquiae acquisitae in pugnis tentationum sunt quae hic intelliguntur; hae reliquiae sunt quae per 'decimas datas Malkizedecho ab Abramo' significantur, suntque omnia caelestia amoris quae Dominus sibi comparavit per continuas pugnas et victorias, per quas continue uniebatur Essentiae Divinae, usque dum Essentia Ipsius Humana similiter facta est Amor, seu Esse vitae, hoc est, Jehovah.
