1000# “灵魂”象征生命，从圣经中多处关于灵魂的意思可以看出。圣经中“灵魂”通常表示一切生命，无论是内在的，或属于内在人， 亦或是外在的，或属于外在人。并且因为表示一切生命，所以也表示与其所描述之人相符的生命。在这里描述的是重生之人的生命，这生命与人的意志分离。如前所说，重生的属灵人从主所得到的新生命完全与人的意志或他的自我分离，或是与属于人自我的生命分离；人自己的生命虽自称为生命但并非生命，而是死亡，因为它属于地狱的生命；因此，这里“肉带着它的灵魂不可吃"象征他的肉连同他的生命，即不能把这种属于主的新生命同属于人之恶的生命或污秽的生命相混合，即与他的意愿或自我相混合。
1000、“灵魂”表示生命，这从圣言许多地方的“灵魂”的含义清楚可知。在圣言中，“灵魂”表示总体上一切生命，包括内在生命或内在人的生命，以及外在生命，或外在人的生命。它因表示一切生命，故也表示“灵魂”所论及之人拥有的那种具体生命。此处它论及重生之人的生命，这生命与纯人类的意愿是分离的。因为如前所述（730:1；731；848；933:2，3节），重生的属灵人从主那里所获得的新生命与人自己的意愿或自我，也就是与人自己的生命完全分离；人自己的生命虽称为生命，却不是真生命，而是死亡，因为它是地狱的生命。这就是为何他们不可吃的“带灵魂的肉”表示肉体及其灵魂；也就是说，他们不可将属于主的这新生命与属于人的邪恶、臭不可闻的生命，即他自己的意愿或自我混在一起。

[NCE]1000. The symbolism of soul as life is established by the symbolism of the soul in many passages of the Word.{*1} In the Word, soul in general symbolizes all life, both inward life (or that of the inner self) and outward life (or that of the outer self). Since it symbolizes all life, it also symbolizes the specific kind of life possessed by the people to whom it is attributed. Here it is used in connection with the life that a regenerate person has, which is separate from the person's will. As noted earlier, the new life that a spiritual person who has been reborn receives from the Lord is completely separate from human will or human autonomy [730:1; 731; 848; 933:2, 3]. That is to say, it is completely separate from the person's own life, which is not life (although that is what it is called) but death, because it is the life of hell. So in the present verse, the flesh in its soul that they were not to eat means flesh together with its soul. That is, they were not to mingle this new life, which is the Lord's, with the evil, unsavory life that is a human being's. In other words, they were not to mingle the new life with human will, or human selfhood.

{*1} For other passages in which Swedenborg discusses the meaning of the word "soul" in Scripture, see 2930, 7021; see also note 2 in 1005. The connection between the soul and life in the Bible is even closer than Swedenborg indicates. The most common word for "soul" in the Hebrew Bible is נֶפֶשׁ (neṕeš), and נֶפֶשׁ חַיָּה (neṕeš ḥayyā; literally, "living soul") denotes living beings in general (see Brown, Driver, and Briggs 1996, page 659 right column, under נֶפֶשׁ [neṕeš], Strong's 5315, definition 2). In the Greek of the New Testament, ψυχή (psyché) frequently denotes "soul" and "life" almost indistinguishably. See Luke 9:24, where the word is generally translated "life," but could be understood as "soul": "For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will save it" (New Revised Standard Version). See also Matthew 2:20; 6:25; 10:39; 20:28; Mark 3:4; 8:35; 10:45; Luke 6:9; 12:22-23; 14:26; 17:33; John 10:11, 15, 17; 12:25; 13:37-38; 15:13; Acts 20:10, 24; 27:22; Romans 11:3; 16:4; Philippians 2:30.

1000. That the "soul" signifies life, is evident from the signification of "soul" in the Word, in many places. "Soul" in the Word signifies in general all life, as well internal, or that of the internal man, as external, or that of the external man. And because it signifies all life, it signifies such life as is that of the man of whom the soul is predicated. Here it is predicated of the life of the regenerate man, which is separate from man's will; for, as already said, the new life which the regenerate spiritual man receives from the Lord is entirely separate from the will or Own of the man, that is, from the life that is his own, which is not life, though so called, but is death, because it is infernal life. Here therefore "flesh with the soul thereof" which they should not eat, signifies flesh together with its soul; that is, they should not mingle this new life, which is of the Lord, with the evil or excrementitious life which is of man, that is, with his will or Own.
Elliott(1983-1999) 1000
1000. 'Soul' means life. This becomes clear from the meaning of 'soul' in many places in the Word. In general 'soul' in the Word means life in its entirety, the internal life, or that of the internal man, as well as the external, or that of the external man. And because it means life in its entirety it means the nature of the life present in the one to whom 'soul' has reference. In this case it has reference to the life of someone who is regenerate, which is separate from the merely human will. For as stated already, the new life which a regenerate spiritual person receives from the Lord is completely separate from the person s own will or proprium, that is, from the life that is his own, which though called such is not really life but death because it is the life belonging to hell. This is why 'flesh with its soul which they were not to eat' means flesh together with its soul, that is, they were not to mix together this new life which is the Lord's with the evil or putrid life that is man's, that is, with his own will or proprium.
Latin(1748-1756) 1000
1000. Quod 'anima' significet vitam, ex significatione animae in Verbo, multis locis constare potest: 'anima' in Verbo in genere significat omnem vitam, tam internam seu interni hominis' quam externam seu externi hominis; et quia omnem vitam, significat talem vitam qualis est hominis de quo praedicatur; hic praedicatur de vita hominis regenerati quae separata est a voluntario hominis; nam, ut prius dictum, vita nova quam accipit homo regeneratus spiritualis a Domino, prorsus separata est a voluntario seu proprio hominis, seu a propria hominis vita, quae non vita est tametsi ita vocatur, sed est mors quia vita infernalis; quare hic 'caro in anima ejus quam non comederent' significat carnem una cum anima ejus, hoc est, quod non commiscerent vitam hanc novam quae est Domini, cum vita mala seu excrementitia quae est hominis, hoc est, cum voluntario seu proprio ejus.
