6136.“我们为什么要连我们带我们的土地都死在你眼前呢”表它们若不荒凉，就不会再有内在之下的任何属灵生命。这从“在你眼前”和“连我们带我们的土地”的含义清楚可知：“在你眼前”是指在内在之下，因为“约瑟”（这些话就是对他说的）代表内在；“连我们带我们的土地”是指良善与真理的容器，如刚才所述（6135节），因而是指属灵生命的容器。当这些容器没有任何属灵生命在里面时，可以说它们“死”了；因为“死”表示荒凉，也就是良善与真理的丧失，而这些良善与真理构成属灵生命。
Potts(1905-1910) 6136
6136. Wherefore should we die before thine eyes, both we and our ground? That this signifies that if they should be desolated there would no longer be spiritual life under the internal, is evident from the signification of "before thine eyes," as being under the internal; for by Joseph, to whom these words were spoken, is represented the internal; from the signification of "both we and our ground," as being the receptacles of good and truth (as just above, n. 6135), thus the receptacles of spiritual life. These receptacles are said to "die" when there is not within anything of spiritual life; for by "dying" is signified desolation, that is, the privation of good and truth, which good and truth make spiritual life.
Elliott(1983-1999) 6136
6136. 'Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our ground?' means that if they have been made desolate, there is no longer any spiritual life beneath the internal. This is clear from the meaning of 'before your eyes' as beneath the internal, for 'Joseph', to whom these words are addressed, represents the internal; and from the meaning of 'both we and our ground' as the receptacles of goodness and truth, as immediately above in 6135, and so the receptacles of spiritual life. Those receptacles are said 'to die' when they do not have any spiritual life at all within them; for 'to die' means desolation, that is, the deprivation of goodness and truth, the components of spiritual life.
Latin(1748-1756) 6136
6136. `Quare moriemur ad oculos tuos etiam nos etiam humus nostra?': quod significet si desolata fuerint, quod non amplius vita spiritualis sub interno, constat ex significatione `ad oculos tuos' quod sit sub interno; per `Josephum' enim ad quem haec dicta, repraesentatur internum; ex significatione `etiam nos etiam humus nostra' quod sint receptacula boni et veri, ut mox supra n. 6135, ita receptacula vitae spiritualis; receptacula illa dicuntur `mori' cum intus non aliquid vitae spiritualis; per `mori' enim significatur desolatio, hoc est, privatio boni et veri, quae, nempe bonum et verum, vitam spiritualem faciunt.
