7947.“到了半夜”表由邪恶所生的纯粹虚假的状态。这从“半夜”的含义清楚可知，“半夜”是指完全的荒凉（参看7776节），也就是一切良善和真理的匮乏，因而是指由邪恶所生的纯粹虚假的状态。这是一种邪恶的状态（参看2353，6000，7870节）。
Potts(1905-1910) 7947
7947. And it came to pass at midnight. That this signifies a state of mere falsity from evil, is evident from the signification of "midnight," as being total devastation (see n. 7776), that is, the privation of all good and truth, whence there was a state of mere falsity from evil (that it is a state of evil, see n. 2353, 6000, 7870).
Elliott(1983-1999) 7947
7947. 'And it happened at midnight' means a state of nothing but falsity arising from evil. This is clear from the meaning of 'midnight' as vastation when completed, dealt with in 7776, that is, an absence of anything good or true, consequently a state of nothing but falsity arising from evil. As regards its being a state of evil, see 2357, 6000, 7870.
Latin(1748-1756) 7947
7947. `Et factum in media nocte': quod significet statum meri falsi ex malo, constat ex significatione `mediae noctis' quod sit devastatio totalis, de qua n. 7776, hoc est, privatio omnis boni et veri, unde status meri falsi ex malo; quod {1}sit status mali, videatur n. 2353, 6000, 7870. @1 non sit status mali AI. Comparison with s cited suggests that non sit nisi status mali was possibly intended.$
