8079.“若不赎回，就要打折它的颈项”表纯真之真理若未存在于它里面，就必须被分离并丢出去。这从“不赎回”和“打折颈项”的含义清楚可知：“不赎回”是指不归于主，而是给予某种其它事物来代替，如刚才所述（8078节）；“打折颈项”是指分离并丢出去。“打折颈项”之所以具有这种含义，是因为“颈项”表示内层事物与外层事物的联结（参看3542，3603，3695，3725，5320，5328，5926，6033节），因此“打折颈项”是指分离并丢出去，也就是说，如果纯真之真理并未存在于纯属世之信里面，就要对这信如此行。
Potts(1905-1910) 8079
8079. And if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break its neck. That this signifies that if the truth of innocence is not therein, it must be separated and cast out, is evident from the signification of "not redeeming," as being not to ascribe to the Lord, but to give something else in its place (as just above, n. 8078); and from the signification of "breaking the neck," as being to separate and cast out. "Breaking the neck" has this signification because the "neck" signifies the conjunction of the interiors with the exteriors (see n. 3542, 3603, 3695, 3725, 5320, 5328, 5926, 6033), thus the breaking of the neck signifies separation and casting out, namely, of faith merely natural, if the truth of innocence is not therein.
Elliott(1983-1999) 8079
8079. 'And if you do not redeem it you shall break its neck' means that if the truth of innocence is not present within it, it is to be separated and cast aside. This is clear from the meaning of 'not redeeming' as not ascribing it to the Lord but giving something else instead, as immediately above in 8078; and from the meaning of 'breaking the neck' as separating and casting aside. The reason why 'breaking the neck' has this meaning is that 'the neck' means a joining together of interior and exterior things, 3542, 3603, 3695, 3725, 5320, 5328, 5926, 6033, so that 'breaking the neck' is separating and casting aside, that is to say, doing so to merely natural faith if the truth of innocence is not present within it.
Latin(1748-1756) 8079
8079. `Et si non redimis, et decollabis illud': quod significet si non inibi verum innocentiae, quod separanda et ejicienda, constat ex significatione `non redimere' quod sit non addicare Domino, sed loco ejus aliud dare, ut nunc supra n. 8078; et ex significatione `decollare' quod sit separare et ejicere; quod decollare id sit, est quia `collum' significat conjunctionem interiorum cum exterioribus, n. 3542, 3603, 3695, 3725, 5320, 5328, 5926, 6033, ita `decollatio' separationem et ejectionem, {1}nempe fidei mere naturalis, si non inibi verum innocentiae. @1 hic$
