BIBLE VERSES

ADAH AND ZILLAH , WIVES OF LAMECH

Symbols of theory and practice , or wisdom and experience utilized, in alliance with reflection.

" Lamech said, Adah and Zillah hear my voice . For I have slain a man for wounding me, and a young man for bruising me: if Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold." - GENESIS. iv. 23 , 24

Reflection calls upon theory and practice to attend to its cogitations. For reflection has killed out somewhat of the prejudice (young man) with which the mind started on its evolution . If the lower personality (Cain) be the means of causing sorrow, surely the reflective mind shall cause much more sorrow.

" By Adah ' is signified the mother of the celestial and spiritual of that Church by Zillah ,' the mother of the natural things of the same Church ."- SWEDENBORG , Arc . Cel. to Genesis. , iv. 19 .
