3399、“和女人同寝”在内义上表示扭曲并玷污真理，此处的真理是神性，因为“女人”或利百加代表神性真理，如前所示（3398节）。这从以下事实可以看出来：在圣言中，“同寝”、“通奸”和“行淫”无非表示对良善的败坏和对真理的歪曲（2466， 2729节）。这是因为通奸或奸淫与婚姻之爱截然相反，甚至到了摧毁它的地步；婚姻之爱源于良善与真理的婚姻（2508， 2618， 2727-2759， 3132节）。因此，那些违背良善和真理，或摧毁它们的事物在圣言中被称为“奸淫”（adulteries，即通奸）。
然而，要知道，那些属于属灵教会的人无法将良善玷污到亵渎它的程度，因为他们不能足够地接受良善，以至于像属天人那样拥有对它的感知。但他们能亵渎真理，因为他们能承认它。而在教会的末期，他们甚至不能承认真理，因为那时在他们中间普遍掌权的，是他们对主、死后的生活和内在人的不信。普遍掌权的不信使他们不可能深入信的内层真理。在一个人里面普遍存在的东西会限制并阻止他更深地进入这些事物，无论是在此人没有意识到这种普遍不信的时候，还是在他以为自己相信的时候。
能亵渎良善的，是那些属于属天教会的人，因为他们能接受良善，以至于感知到它。这就是大洪水之前的人所行的，因此他们与其他人都隔开了，被关在与其他人的地狱分开的一个地狱中（对此，参看1265-1272节）。“耶和华把那人赶出去，又使基路伯从东方向伊甸园居住，还有剑的火焰自行转动，要把守生命树的道路”（创世记3:24），就表示防止对良善的亵渎再次发生（参看308， 310节）。

3399. That in the internal sense "to lie with a woman" denotes to pervert and adulterate truth (here truth Divine, because by the "woman" or Rebekah is represented Divine truth, as shown above) is evident from the fact that by "lying with," by "adultery," and by "harlotry" in the Word, nothing else is signified than perversions of good and falsifications of truth (n. 2466, 2729); and this for the reason that adulteries are diametrically contrary to conjugial love, insomuch that they are destructive of it; and conjugial love is from the marriage of good and truth (n. 2508, 2618, 2727-2759, 3132); and therefore those things which are contrary to good and truth, or which destroy them, are in the Word called "adulteries." [2] Be it known, however, that they who are of the spiritual church cannot adulterate good so as to profane it, because they cannot receive good so as to have a perception of it, like the celestial; and yet they can profane truth, because this they can acknowledge. But in the last time of the church they cannot even acknowledge truth, because there then universally reigns with them unbelief concerning the Lord, concerning the life after death, and concerning the internal man; and an unbelief that universally reigns, prevents the truths of faith from penetrating interiorly. With everyone that which is universal limits and hinders such things from entering deeply, both when the man is ignorant of them, and also when he supposes that he believes them. [3] But they who are capable of profaning good are those of the celestial church, for these can receive good even to perception. This was the case with the antediluvians, who were therefore secluded from all others, and who are confined in a hell separate from the hells of others (n. 1265-1272); and that the profanation of good should not any longer take place is signified by its being said that when man was cast out of Eden, Jehovah caused to dwell at the east of the garden of Eden cherubim, and the flame of a sword that turned itself, to keep the way of the tree of lives (Gen. 3:24; see n. 308, 310).

3399. The expression 'lying with a wife' means in the internal sense perverting and adulterating truth, here truth that is Divine, because 'a wife' - Rebekah - represents Divine Truth, as shown above. This may be seen from the consideration that instances of lying together, adultery, and prostitution in the Word do not mean anything other than perversions of good and falsifications of truth, as shown in 2466, 2729. The reason why they do so is that all adultery is absolutely contrary to conjugial love, so much so that it is destructive of it; and conjugial love originates in the marriage of good and truth, 2508, 2618, 2727-2759, 3132. Consequently things that are contrary to good and truth, or that destroy them, are in the Word called forms of adultery.
[2] But it should be realized that those who belong to the spiritual Church are not able to adulterate good to such an extent that they profane it, for the reason that they are not able to receive good so far as to perceive it, as those who are celestial do. They are able however to profane truth because they are able to acknowledge it. Yet in the final period of the Church they are not able even to acknowledge truth, because at that time universal disbelief prevails concerning the Lord, concerning life after death, and concerning the internal man. And the disbelief which reigns universally makes it impossible for them to penetrate into the interior truths of faith. That which prevails with everyone universally limits them and keeps them back from entering more deeply into such things, even when the person is unaware of that universal disbelief and also when he supposes that he does believe.
[3] But those who are able to profane good are such as belong to the celestial Church, for they are able to receive it so as to perceive it, as was done by those living before the Flood who have consequently been segregated from everyone else and are kept in a hell separated from the hells of others - regarding which see 1265-1272. The prevention of the occurrence ever again of the profanation of good is meant by the reference to Jehovah expelling man and causing cherubim to dwell away from the east towards the garden of Eden, and the flame of a sword turning this way and that to guard the way of the tree of life, Gen 3:24. On these matters, see 308, 310.

3399. Quod `cubare cum muliere' in sensu interno sit pervertere et adulterare verum, hic Verum Divinum quia per `mulierem' seu Rebeccam repraesentatur Divinum Verum, ut supra ostensum, constare potest ex eo quod per concubitus, adulteria et meretricatus in Verbo non aliud significetur quam perversiones boni et falsificationes veri, ut n. 2466, 2729 ostensum; et hoc ex causa quia adulteria sunt prorsus contra amorem conjugialem, adeo ut sint ejus destructiva, et amor conjugialis est ex conjugio boni et veri, n. 2508, 2618, 2727-2759, 3132, ideo illa quae contra bonum et verum sunt, seu quae illa destruunt, vocantur in Verbo adulteria. [2] Sed sciendum quod illi qui ab Ecclesia spirituali sunt, non possint adulterare bonum usque adeo ut profanent illud, ex causa quia non possunt recipere bonum usque ad perceptionem ejus, sicut caelestes; sed quod possint profanare verum quia hoc possunt agnoscere; sed {1}ultimo tempore Ecclesiae, nec possunt agnoscere verum quia tunc apud illos universaliter regnat incredulitas de Domino, {2}de vita post mortem, (c)et de interno homine, et incredulitas quae universaliter regnat, facit ut vera fidei non interius penetrent; universale apud unumquemvis limitat et arcet ne talia penitius intrent, etiam homine nesciente, et quoque cum autumat se credere: [3] at qui profanare bonum possunt, sunt {3}ab Ecclesia caelesti, illi enim usque ad perceptionem possunt recipere illud; ut quoque factum est ab antediluvianis, qui ideo seclusi ab omnibus detinentur in inferno {4}separato ab infernis aliorum, de quibus videatur n. 1265-1272; et ne profanatio boni amplius existeret, {5}significatur per quod Jehovah, ejecto homine, habitare fecerit ab oriente ad hortum Edenis cherubos, et flammam gladii vertentis se, ad custodiendum viam arboris vitarum, Gen. iii 24, de quibus n. 308, 310. @1 i in$ @2 deque$ @3 i qui$ @4 after aliorum$ @5 dicitur$
