8663.“向他下拜”表与它接触。这从“下拜”的含义清楚可知,“下拜”是指谦卑和臣服(2153,5682,7068节),但在此是指接触,因为它论及神之真理,以及它与神性良善的关系。
Potts(1905-1910) 8663
8663. And bowed himself down. That this signifies immission, is evident from the signification of "bowing down," as being humiliation and submission (n. 2153, 5682, 7068), but in this case immission,* because it is predicted of truth Divine relatively to Divine good. * "Immission" is the correlative of "emission," and is found in Heaven and Hell n. 551e, and Apocalypse Explained n. 503:4. The verb immittere, in the sense of "to let into," is rather frequently used by Swedenborg. [REVISER.]
Elliott(1983-1999) 8663
8663. 'And bowed down' means being brought into contact with it. This is clear from the meaning of 'bowing down' as humility and self-surrender, dealt with in 2153, 5682, 7068, but at this point being brought into contact, because it refers to God's truth and its relationship with Divine Good.
Latin(1748-1756) 8663
8663. `Et incurvavit se': quod significet immissionem, constat ex significatione `incurvare se' quod sit humiliatio et submissio, de qua n. 2153, 5682, 7068, hic autem immissio, quia praedicatur de (t)vero Divino respective ad Divinum Bonum.
