A DICTIONARY OF BIBLE IMAGERY
Interpreting the symbolism
of thousands of words
in the Holy Bible
An invaluable reference source, A Dietionary
of Bible Imagery is a MUST for Bible readers
who are seeking the spiritual truths under
Iying the literai text of Sacred Scripture.
Through the ages so many books have been
written about the Bible that the question
may weil be raised, "Can anything new be
said about the Word of God?" The pub
Iishers of this important work answer with
a resounding "Ves"! The words in the Bible
have two meanings - one speaking to our
natural minds and another addressing our
spiritual perceptions. Emanuel Swedenborg
demonstrates how the earthly terms drawn
from nature "symbolize" and "correspond"
to spiritual realities. Through Swedenborg's
unique "System of Correspondences", a
new light is thrown on the deeper signifi
canee of Biblical text.
Using the works of Swedenborg and the
King James Version of the Bible as weil as
the Revised Standard Version and the New
English Version as cross references, this
compilation provides stimulating insights
into the significance of the personalities,
natural phenomena, and events as recorded
in the Bible.
A Dietionary of Bible Imagery is an impor
tant addition to every library and cannot fail
to deepen the spiritual insights of Bible
readers.

A WORD TOTHE READER
A reader's frequent recourse to a dictionary might
make any words of instruction or advice regarding
this lexicon seem wholly redundant. But this is not a
dictionary from a cornmon mold. We believe this vol
ume's usefulness will be markedly enhanced if the
reader follows these suggestions:
1. First read and study the preface thoroughly.
Although sorne might find it overly philosophical and
involved, this could hardly be avoided if the origin
and universality of this system were to be brought
into clearview.
2. Familiarity at the outset with the abbrevia
tions used (listed after the preface) will enable the
reader to acquire and organize more quickly and ac
curately the information he is seeking.
The great Elizabethan scholar, Francis Bacon, de
c1ared in one of his essays, "The knowledge of man is
as the waters, sorne descending from above, and sorne
springing up from beneath; the one informed by the
light of nature, the other inspired by divine revelation."

PREFACE
The method of biblical interpretation set forth in
the theological writings of Emanuel Swedenborg
(1688-1772), Swedish scientist and seer-in itself an
unusual coupling of interests - is as unique a system
as its author was a philosopher. However, he dis
claimed possession of it as an original invention, say
ing that it was well-known among the most ancient
peoples, being the law that attests the unity and
homogeneous nature of ail creation, conjoining man's
inner world of the spirit-and its celestial wisdom
with his outer world of nature and science, and mak
ing possible communication between the human and
the Divine, even to the point of conjonining human
affection and thought with the divine love and wis
dom, through what is good and true (AC 91F, 978
2
,
1476) .
Swedenborg called this symbolic system C01"Te
sponclence, using also the terms Tep1'esentative and
significative. "Man does not comprehend naked spir
itual truths," he says, "and so they are presented in
the Word by corresponding natural things." Also:
"Between the spiritual and the natural there is COJ'
Tespondence, and the things in nature that exist from
spiritual things are TepTesentatives." Persons in the
Word, however, do not c01Tespond to spiritual things,
but repTesent something in the Lord, or in man's ac
ceptance or rejection of Him, and it is their functions
or acts which are thus representative. Historical
events recorded in the Bible also represent the spir
itual states of man, either at sorne era in history, or
in the course of an individual's regeneration (AC 1409,
6948; AR 768
3
).
In illustration, Swedenborg cites the relationship
between mind and body, the former representing
man's spiritual world, and the latter his natural, or
the world of nature. In one who has not been taught
to dissemble, the expression of the face and the ges
tures of the body correspond to the affections and
thoughts of the mind; or, in words often employed by
Swedenborg, to the will and the understanding. The
iv
"forms" existing in the mind are effigied in the face,
and in physical acts, but in the mind they are celestial
and spiritual, while they are natural in the body. In
brief, the natural things which appear in the outer
man represent his internaI self, and the particulars
which agree with his internal, correspond to it
(AC 2987-2991; HH 97-99).
Swedenborg goes on to say that the three king
doms of nature - animal, vegetable, and mineral
correspond to or represent the spiritual world, down
to their smallest particulars; for the causes of aIl
that is in the world are from spiritual things, while
their uses are from celestial things. "Blessed is he
who is in correspondence, that is, whose external man
corresponds to his internaI" (AC 2994).
CORRESPONDENCE IN SCRIPTURE
The Bible speaks of sun, moon, and stars, of times
and seasons, of animaIs of an kinds-wild or domestic,
in water, on land, or in the air; of lands and their
valleys and mountains; of floods and ri'Vers; of stones,
common and precious; of metals-gold, silver, coppel',
iron; of storms and earthquakes; also of things di
reetly produced by man: food, clothing, dwellings and
temples, roads, ships, and cities; of the members and
organs of man's body; and of historical people and
events. The realities of aIl these symbols mentioned
in the Word are in man. Both the kingdom of heaven
and the kingdom of hell are in him, and in the Word
also is pictured the warfare man undergoes to over
come the one and to yield to the other; and there are
symbo.Jic promises made "to him who overcometh."
It is in this way that our Creator communicates
with His creature. If you and l talk together, we do
not reach each other in truth unless we communicate
mind to mind and soul to soul: bodies do not com
municate without their inner realities. So it is with
the Lord's Word: unless we address the spirit within
the letter, and permit it to address us in return, we
have ears that hear not, and eyes that do not see
(HH 99-114).
v
Does Scripture Itself Suggest an Inner Content?
776
There is much in the Word itself to support
Swedenborg's thesis. In his Apocalypse Explained
he states that in its ultimate or lowest form, that is,
in the languages of earth, it is like a man clothed, but
with hands and feet bare, or ail that is essential
to salvation openly expressed in the letter. Where it
is thus bare, its goods and truths appear as they are
in heaven, or with the spiritual sense evident in the
literaI sense. He compares the outer meaning to the
garments of the Lord, while the inner is likened to
His body. From still another viewpoint, the Word is
like the garments mentioned in the .crucifixion story
in John: the outer garment was divided amoIig four
soldiers, but the inner vestare or tunic, being without
~ e a m l was assigned; by lot to one onlY. This signifies
the- dispersal and falsification of the external truths
of the Law and the Prophets by the church of that
era - which was only a representative of a church;
but that the internaI sense could not be falsified, as
it was protected by the letter (AC 9035'; AE 64',
6
; DL 16
6
; TCR 130
2
).
For sorne supporting literai statements in the
Word, consider the following:
1. As the Word made flesh, the Lord said: /lIt is the
spirit thatgives life ... The words 1 speak te you are
spirit and life" (Jn 6:63). Also: "He said nothing to them
wi thout a parabl'e" (Mt 13 :34) .
2. In Psalm 18:2; we read: "1 will open my mouth in
a parable; 1 wilf uttr dark sayings of old." Then follows
a poem tel'ling the history of the Sons of Israel and the
trials they endred in leaving their state of servitude in
Egypt and journeying te the Promised Land. Does this not
suggest that they represent Everyman in his efforts to
free himself from the dominion of external ,things, the
"fleshpots of Egypt," and to win .the peace and security of
the regenerate life? The land of Canaan represents astate
of love to the Lord and the neighbor, or heaven. As a
people the Israelites never fully reached that state, al
though probably some individuals did; so the land merely
represented the state as an ideal,. but did not correspond
to it (AC 1025', 1093', 1413) ..
3. There are many other situations and incidents in
the Word of both Old and New Testaments which are
vi
obviously symbolic. Such is the creation story in the first
chapters of Genesis: in Swedenborg's system it describes,
not the f o r m i n ~ of our physical earth, but the re-forming
or regeneration of man's inner self. Here let us remind
ourselves that only twice did oue Lord in His Incarnation
employ a word which is translated must, as absolutely
binding upon his followers. These occasions are bath in the
Gospel of John: "You MUST be born again" (3:7); and:
"Those who wOl'ship Him MUST worship Him in spirit and
in truth" (4:24). This is profoundly significant. In another
internaI sense (for there are layers within layers, or
"Wheels within wheels" as Ezekiel puts it), the fiest two
chapters of Genesis depict the building of the first Church
among men, meaning by "church" not an ecclesiastical in
stitution, but a certain type of celestial or spiritual life in
a country, or in an epoch.
4. Then theee is the account of the benedictions or
maledictions peonounced upon his sons and theie descend
ants by Jacob in Genesis 49, and also a number of con
tradictory statements in the letter of Scripture. For an
example, we are given the Commandment: "Honor thy
father and thy mother"; yet Jesus says in Luke 14:26,
that unless a man "hate his father and mother ... he
cannot be my disciple." Swedenborg points out, in explain
ing such contradictions, that every correspondency or rep
sentative has both a positive and genuine significance, or
a negative and opposite one. In the last quotation, it is
the negative father and mothee who are meant, the ruth
less self-love and its mate, false thinking, which generate
an evil life - the same parentage which is referred to
when Eli's sons, for instance, are called "sons of Belial."
It could not mean that Eli was Belial (AC 6333).
Now if these accounts are not only true history,
or even if they are fabrications, but also apply to the
spiritual development and history of an individual or
a race, why may not aIl of Scripture do the same?
The primary object of the Word is to teach man about
his spiritual nature, the life that leads to heaven, His
Maker's perfect love and wisdom, and how he may
respond to Him; so does it matter that the accounts
are not always literally true? Our Heavenly Father
has no need to inspire a Word to teach His children
things they may learn by their own investigations.
We do not denounce Aesop's Fables because they can
not be taken literall y, but are designed to point a
moral (AC 6948; HH 89; AE 985
4
).

The Purpose of This Present Work
This book is designed as a lexicon-guide to biblical
interpretation of the "Law of Correspondence" as out
lined above. Swedenborg analyzed three scriptural
books according to this law; in the Old Testament,
Genesis and Exodus, and in the New Testament, the
book of Revelation. However, scattered through aH of
his works, other passages are interpreted, particularly
in his Apocalypse Explained. On the other hand,
many were not considered at aIl. Yet it is believed
that the student will find here sorne help upon almost
any verse in those books which Swedendborg accepted
as being the Word. Certain ones were exc1uded by
him, and for a reason: in the ld Testament, Ruth,
Chronic1es, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, Job, Proverbs,
Ecclesiastes, and the Song of Solomon were unaccep
table because they do not have that inmost sense
which refers to the Lord alone. Of Job, he says that
it was consciously written in con-espondences for the
people of an ancient church among whom the laws
were known, a people Iater caHed "wise men of the
east." He also states that the Song of Solomon was
produced in imitation of such writings (AC 1756
2
;
SS 20).
In the New Testament only the four Gospels and
Revelation are accepted by Swedenborg as belonging
to the Word. He spoke of Paul as "inspired," but says
his inspiration did not go so far as to reach the inmost
or celestial sense, which treats solely of the Lord Jesus
Christ, the temptations to which His maternaI hu
manity was subjected, His eventual Glor1lcation and
union with the Father, and his kingdom (AC 1766,
3540; AE 422, 543, 740
'6
).
No attempt has been made here to give a word for
word correspondence of every passage cited, although
this may incidentally occur. To man's spirit, and to
the angels, ideas are more important than words, and
the same word may have different connotations in
different passages. Several degrees of significance
discrete degrees, or separate but homogeneous frames
of reference - exist in aIl scriptural symbols, for
viii
there are several interior senses, one within anothel'.
Swedenborg especially mentions four:
1. The inmost or celestial sense, that of the Celestial
Heaven, the third or highest. As has been said, it treats
of the Lord al one, and is that Scripture "concerning Him-
self" (Lu 24:27 which he unfolded, at least partially, after
His resurrection to the two disciples whom He accom-
panied on the way to Emmaus, and whose "hearts burned
within them" at the unfolding. Of course, no one on earth
can enter that degree to the height of the celestial angels, 1
but we may view it from afar (AC 1963', 1965, 8943, 9407;
SS 39, 40, 80; HH 95).
2. The spiritual sense, for the regenerated men and
women (angels) of the Spiritual, or middle, Heaven, and
for regenerating people on earth who know that they must
be born again. It concerns especially love of the neighbor,
and shunning evils as sins against God. It also tells the
history of man's spiritual development, his backslidings
and his progressions, or his reception or rejection of the
truths of the church universal. While the celestial sense
deals primarily with the divine love, the spiritual treats
of man's relation to the divine truth (SS 39).
3. The celestial-natural and the spiritual-natural of the
First or lowest Heaven, sometimes called by Swedenborg
the Natural or Ultimate Heaven. In terms, this sense is
about the same as the spiritual, or even the celestial; and
there is much in Swedenborg to suggest that when he
speaks in general of the inner meaning of the Word he
means the spiritual-natural or the celestial-natural; for it
is of something taught, something for us to learn and hold
in the memory, as they seem to do in the Ultimate Heaven;
whereas in the Spiritual and Celestial Heavens there is no
need for external teaching: the angels come spontaneously
into the form of the Word ada:l?ted to their states, and live
in it (SS 5, 26, 39; AE 375,449, 629
6
, 832
6
; HH 414;
DLW 449; AR 325; SD 627').
4. Finally, there is the "proximate" sense, that nearest
to the letter. This concerns the moral history of the Sons
of Israel and their descendants; and also other nations or
even historical individuals in the scripture stories. Sweden-
borg only occasionally touches upon this; but sometimes,
rather disconcertingly, he will apply it to several verses
when he has been explaining the previous passages on
more internaI levels. Similarly, now and then he will sud-
denly switch from the celestial to the spiritual, or vice
versa, without explanation (AC 4690).
AlI this is probably enough to say about corre-
spondences and the structure of this book to give the
ix
student a necessary background for understanding
the definitions. If anything more is desired, he is
referred to Swedenborg's Doct?'ine of the Sacred
Scripture in its entirety, and to the numbers in other
books cited at the ends of the paragraphs above.
ln closing, 1 can do no better than to quote a pass
age from the hand of the Reverend William F.
Wunsch, Swedenborgian minister and scholar, in
which he gives expression to one of the principal
teachings of Swedenborg, namely, that in thus en
ing the inner meaning of Scripture, the Lor . mak
ing}Iis SecfiI ommg m T ' ~ __9jid OLheav p,:.te.
the "clouaY"IItera sense, so opened that the power
and glory of the inner contents are revealed, and may
appear to the clouded minds of men on earth. It was
Ml'. Wunsch who began this work in 1965, but he was
called to his home in the spiritual world before the
task was half completed, and it had to be turned over
to another. He began it as a revision of the out-of
print Dictiona1'y of Correspondences, first published
(
in 1841, and passing through several editions. When
the undersigned took up the work, it was decided to
confine the definitions to words occurring in three
versions of the Bible: the Authorized or King James
Version, the Revised Standard, and the New English
Bible. So this is quite a new book, although sorne help
from the old one must be acknowledged.
Here is what Ml'. Wunsch says in his booklet,
The Return of the Christ: ls it a Present Reality,
page 36:
"Christianity is being renewed, and the Christian mind
is gaining new insights. Whose work is this? Is it the
intention and result of human wit? Or is it I:lis-..cJivity
and His enlightenment of the minds of His servants, who
said: 'Behold, l make aIl thiiigs-new""'? Laders in the
1J).0vement toward Christian u,nity declare that the Christ
insplred them to that movement. Swedenborg would have
us recognize this truth generally. The Lord is dealing with
His following now, in judgment, in a grant of light, in
inspiration to a new day. In explicit restatement of the
Christian message in his books, Swedenborg is offering an
intellectual means from his Master for the renewal and re
x
---
direction of Christian thought. More than that, he is put
ting into firm and steadying statement the truths that will
make their way - through his books or otherwise - into
Christian thinking, refashioning it. He sees these truths
faring forth into the Christian mind - they and not he will
do the refashioning. They are truths on which Christianity
depends for renewal. To progress vitally and with re
deeming power, must not Christianity get more from the
Bible - find not only the Word of God in it, bu
l
a p,ro
!pund:.-mmwing, speaking directly and evel:'Yw ere to
(
spiritual need and experience? Necessary, too, is it that
Christianity shaH make far more of the world of the spirit.
J
l
'How will you stem materia!ism and absorption in this
world unless a world of the spirit is real and consequential
enough to pit ~ s t an engrossing material world? As
the Lord OIDes agaln, do we not expect just these things
of Him: more word of the world where He prepares a place
(for us? A deepening of the understanding of the Ward?
A fuller, more intimate revelation of Himself?"
The compiler of the present revision is most grate
fuI to Ml'. Wunsch for these words and for the work
which he had done before she took it over.
