7871.“把埃及地一切头生的，都击杀了”表对那些陷入与仁分离之信之人的诅咒。这从“击杀”和“头生的”的含义清楚可知：“击杀”是指诅咒，因为击杀就是杀死或处死，“死”在灵义上表示诅咒（参看6119节）；“头生的”当论及代表那些沉浸于邪恶所生的虚假之人的埃及人时，是指与仁分离之信（3325，7039，7766，7778，7779节）。当论及属灵教会时，“头生的”在正面意义上是指与仁结合之信（参看367，2435，3325，3494，6344，7035节）；因此，“头生的”在反面意义上是指无仁之信。

7871. And I will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt. That this signifies the damnation of those who are in faith separate from charity, is evident from the signification of "smiting," as being damnation; for to smite is to kill or put to death, and by "death," in the spiritual sense, is signified damnation (see n. 6119); and from the signification of "the firstborn," when predicated of the Egyptians, by whom are represented those who are in falsities from evil, as being faith separated from charity (n. 3325, 7039, 7766, 7778, 7779). That "firstborn," in the genuine sense, when said of the spiritual church, denotes the faith which is of charity (see n. 367, 2435, 3325, 3494, 6344, 7035); consequently in the opposite sense the "firstborn" denotes faith without charity.

7871. 'And will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt' means the damnation of those governed by faith separated from charity. This is clear from the meaning of 'striking' as damnation, for striking is killing or putting to death, and 'death' in the spiritual sense means damnation, see 6119; from the meaning of 'the firstborn' - when used in reference to the Egyptians, who represent those steeped in falsities arising from evil - as faith separated from charity, 3325, 7039, 7766, 7778, 7779. In the genuine sense the expression 'the firstborn', when it describes a feature of the spiritual Church, means faith that is wedded to charity, see 367, 2435, 3325, 3494, 6344, 7035; therefore in the contrary sense 'the firstborn' is faith devoid of charity.
Latin(1748-1756) 7871
7871. `Et percutiam omne primogenitum in terra Aegypti': quod significet damnationem illorum qui in fide separata a charitate, constat ex significatione `percutere' quod sit damnatio; percutere enim est occidere aut morti dare, et per `mortem' in spirituali sensu {1}significatur damnatio, videatur n. 6119; ex significatione `primogeniti' cum praedicatur de Aegyptiis, per quos repraesentantur qui in falsis ex malo, quod sit fides separata a charitate, n. 3325, 7039, 7766, 7778, 7779; quod `primogenitum' in genuino sensu, cum dicitur de Ecclesia spirituali, sit fides quae charitatis, videatur n. 367, 2435, 3325, 3494, 6344, 7035; inde in opposito sensu `primogenitum' est fides absque charitate. @1 intelligitur$
