4770.“把那外衣蘸在血里”表他们用邪恶所产生的虚假玷污这些表象。这从“蘸在血里”的含义清楚可知，“蘸在血里”是指用虚假来玷污；因为“血”在反面意义上表示被歪曲的真理（4735节）。由于这是公山羊的血，而公山羊表示源于诸如持守与仁分离之信的信徒所享有的那种快乐的外在真理，故显然所指的是由邪恶产生的虚假。这一点从下文也能明显看出来，在那里，雅各说：“有邪恶的野兽把他吞了；约瑟一定被撕碎了”；因为这些话表示毁灭教会所拥有的真理的恶欲，因而表示使这真理完全不存在的虚假。事实上，虚假产生于三个不同的源头，即：教会的教义，感官幻觉或谬误，以及恶欲的生活；来自最后一个源头的虚假是最坏的（参看4729节）。

4770. And dipped the tunic in the blood. That this signifies that they defiled it with falsities from evils, is evident from the signification of "dipping in blood," as being to defile with falsities; for "blood" in the opposite sense is truth falsified (n. 4735). As it was the blood of the he-goat, by which are signified external truths from delights, such as those have who are in faith separate, it is clear that falsities from evils are meant - as is evident also from what follows, where Jacob says, "An evil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is surely torn in pieces;" for by these words is signified that the cupidities of evil had extinguished it, and thus that from falsities it became such as to be not at all. That there are three origins of falsity - the doctrine of the church, the fallacies of the senses, and a life of cupidities - and that the falsity from this last is the worst, may be seen above (n. 4729).

4770. 'And dipped the tunic in the blood' means that they defiled those appearances with falsities arising from evils. This is clear from the meaning of 'dipping in blood' as defiling with falsities, for in the contrary sense 'blood' means truth that has been falsified, 4735. Because it was the blood of 'a he-goat, which means external truths derived from delights such as adherents to faith separated from charity enjoy, it is plain that falsities arising from evils are meant. This is also evident from what follows below where Jacob says, 'An evil wild animal has devoured him; Joseph has been torn to pieces'; for these words mean that desires for evil annihilated [truth possessed by the Church], thus that falsities rendered this entirely non-existent. For falsity arises from three different sources - the teaching of the Church, the illusions of the senses, and the life of evil desires, the last of the three being the worst kind of falsity, see 4729.
Latin(1748-1756) 4770
4770. `Et intinxerunt tunicam in sanguine': quod significet quod foedaverint falsis ex malis, constat ex significatione `intingere sanguine' quod sit foedare falsis, `sanguis' enim in opposito sensu est verum falsificatum, n. 4735; quia `sanguis hirci' erat, per quem significantur vera externa ex jucundis qualia sunt illorum qui in fide separata, liquet quod sint falsa ex malis, quod quoque patet ex sequentibus ubi Jacob dicit, `Fera mala comedit eum, discerpendo discerptus est Joseph'; per illa enim significatur quod cupiditates mali exstinxerint, et sic quod a falsis talis ut prorsus non sit. Quod tres origines falsi sint, ex doctrina Ecclesiae, ex fallaciis sensuum et ex vita cupiditatum, et quod falsum ex hac sit pessimum, videatur n. 4729.
