1680# ”住在哈洗逊·他玛的亚摩利人“象征由此衍生的各种邪恶，这一点不仅从之前的论述中可以得知，也从“亚摩利人”的象征和代表中可以确认，后者将在随后的第15章至第16节中详细说明。至于主所对抗的邪恶和伪谬，需要明白的是，它们由那些陷于邪恶和伪谬之中的地狱灵组成，换言之，这些灵充斥于那些持续侵扰人类的地狱之中。这些地狱灵的唯一愿望就是摧毁每一个人，他们在折磨人时感受到最大的快乐。
【2】在来生中，所有的灵魂都是根据他们是否有意对他人造成伤害来区分的，那些渴望伤害他人的被归为地狱或恶魔之灵；而那些希望为他人带来益处的则是善良和天使之灵。人们可以通过自己的行为和思想来判断自己属于哪一方。如果有人企图对他人造成伤害，持续怀有恶意，并且一旦有机会就付诸行动，并且为此感到快乐，那么此人属于地狱之灵。在来生中，他也会成为地狱的一部分。反之，如果有人总是想要做好事，充满善意，并在可能的情况下付诸实施，那么他属于天使之列，并将在来生中成为天使。这是判断个人性质的准则，每个人都应依据此准则来自我审视。
【3】每个人都有能力做坏事，但有时是因为害怕后果或者没有机会才没有去做；同样，人们行善往往不只是为了自己的好处，而是有更深层的动机。这些都是表面的行为，在来世中将会被揭去面纱，个人的真实本性将基于其思想和意图来界定。在世俗生活中，许多人习惯于口是心非，但很快就能辨识出他们的真实意图是否与其言辞相符；如果不符，他们将被归入与他们性质相同的地狱之中。
1680、“以及住在哈洗逊他玛的亚摩利人”表示源于这些虚假的邪恶的种类，这从刚才的阐述，以及下一章（15:16；1857节）提到的“亚摩利人”的代表和含义清楚可知。至于主所争战的邪恶和虚假，要知道，它们就是陷入邪恶和虚假的地狱灵，也就是说，它们是充满这类事物或这类灵人的地狱，这些地狱不断侵扰人类。地狱里的人只渴望毁灭每个人，再没有比折磨他人、造成痛苦更让他们兴奋的了。
在来世，所有灵人都按以下方式来划分：那些向他人渴望邪恶的人都是地狱灵或魔鬼灵，而那些向他人渴望良善的人都是良善的天使灵。一个人由此就能知道他在哪一组当中，是在地狱灵当中，还是在天使灵当中：他若对他的邻舍意图邪恶，只对他思想邪恶，并且一有可能就实际行出来，还以之为乐，就在地狱灵当中，在来世也会成为地狱灵；然而，他若对他的邻舍意图良善，只对他思想良善，并且一有可能就实际行出来，就在天使灵当中，在来世也会成为一位天使。这就是划分灵人的标志。如果你想知道自己是什么样，就用这个标准来检查自己吧。
当一个人不能或不敢作恶时，他没有作恶，这等于一事无成，或毫无价值；为自己行善也等于一事无成，或毫无价值。因为这些都是外在事物或表面努力，在来世会被除去。在来世，人的思维和意图决定了他是什么，或说他就是他的思维和意图。有许多灵人因在世上养成的习惯而说得很好；但在来世，他们的内心或意图是否与他们所说的一致，就会立刻被察觉出来；如若不一致，他们就被送走，到属于他们自己的属和种的地狱灵当中。

[NCE]1680. And also the Amorite living in Hazazon-tamar symbolizes general categories of the resulting evil. This can be seen from the remarks just above and from the representation and symbolism of Amorites, which are mentioned below in Genesis 15:16 [1857].
In regard to the evil and falsity that the Lord fought, it needs to be known that they consisted of hellish spirits devoted to evil and falsity. In other words, they consisted of hells filled with evil and falsity, which were constantly plaguing the human race. Hellish spirits want nothing less than to destroy everyone, and nothing thrills them more than causing pain.
[2] In the other world, all spirits are divided up in this way: Those who wish evil on others are hellish or diabolical spirits, but those who wish well to others are good or angelic spirits. We can tell which group we are associating with, hellish or angelic. If we intend harm to our neighbors, think only evil thoughts about them, actually hurt them when we can, and enjoy doing so, we are associating with hellish spirits and become hellish spirits ourselves in the other life. If we have good intentions toward our neighbors, though, think only good thoughts about them, and actually do them good when we can, we are associating with angelic spirits and become angels ourselves in the other life. This is the sign. Examine yourself by this standard, if you want to know what you are like.
[3] To refrain from doing evil when one cannot or does not dare is worth nothing. It is also worthless to do good for selfish reasons. These are superficial efforts that we lay aside in the next world. In that world, we are what we think and what we intend. There are many who know how to speak well, from a lifetime of practice, but others sense immediately whether their mind or heart is in it. If not, they are sent away to join hellish spirits of their own kind.

1680. And also the Amorite that dwelt in Hazezon-tamar. That this signifies the kinds of evils derived from those falsities, is evident from what has just been said, and also from the representation and signification of the Amorites, spoken of in the next chapter, verse 16. As regards the evils and falsities against which the Lord combated, it is to be known that what He fought against was the infernal spirits who were in the evils and falsities, that is, it was the hells filled with such spirits, which continually infested the human race. The infernals desire nothing else than to destroy everyone; and they perceive no greater pleasure than in torturing others. [2] All spirits in the other life are distinguished in the following manner: those who desire evil against others are infernal or diabolical spirits; but those who desire good to others are good and angelic spirits. A man can know among which he is, whether among the infernal or among the angelic: if he intends evil to his neighbor, thinks nothing but evil concerning him, and actually does it when he can, and takes delight therein, he is among the infernals, and also becomes infernal in the other life; whereas the man who intends good to his neighbor, and thinks nothing but good respecting him, and actually does it when he can, is among the angelic spirits, and also becomes an angel in the other life. This is the distinctive characteristic. Let everyone examine himself by this, in order to learn what he is. [3] That a man does no evil when he is unable or afraid to do it, amounts to nothing; or that he does good for the sake of self; for these are external things that are removed in the other life. A man there is such as he thinks and intends. There are many who can speak well from a habit formed in the world; but it is instantly perceived whether the mind or intention agrees therewith; if not, they are rejected among the infernals of their own genus and species.

1680. 'And also the Amorites inhabiting Hazezon-tamar' means kinds of evils derived from this. This is clear from what has just been stated and also from the representation and meaning of 'the Amorites', dealt with at verse 16 of the next chapter. As for the evils and falsities against which the Lord fought, it should be recognized that they were spirits from hell who were ruled by evils and falsities, that is, they were hells that were full of such things, hells which were infesting the human race constantly. Those in hell have but one desire, to destroy everyone; and they find nothing more pleasurable than inflicting torture on others.
[2] All spirits in the next life are distinguished as follows: Those who wish evil on others are hellish or devilish spirits, whereas those who will good to others are good and angelic spirits. A person may know whom he is among, whether among those from hell or those who are angelic, from this: If he intends evil to his neighbour, thinks nothing but evil regarding him, and when possible actually does it, and takes delight in this, he is among spirits from hell and also becomes one himself in the next life. The person however who intends good to his neighbour, thinks nothing but good regarding him, and when possible actually does it, is among angelic spirits, and also becomes an angel in the next life. This is how one spirit is to be distinguished from another; so let the individual examine himself in this way to discover what he himself is really like.
[3] Refraining from evil when one is unable to do it or when one dare not do it amounts in the end to nothing; and doing good for selfish reasons also amounts to nothing. These are external considerations that are taken away in the next life. There it is a person's thought and intention that determine what he is There are many spirits who because they were accustomed to do so in the world are able to speak virtuously, but it is discerned in an instant whether their mind or intention is in agreement with what they say. If it is not, a person is cast away among spirits in hell who are of his own genus and species.

1680. 'Et etiam Emoraeum habitantem in Hazezon-tamar quod significet genera malorum quae inde, constat ex illis quae num dicta sunt, tum a repraesentatione et significatione 'Emoraeorum de qua in cap. seq. xv ad vers. 16. Quod mala et falsa attinet, contra quae Dominus pugnavit, sciendum quod fuerint infernales spiritus qui in malis et falsis, hoc est, quod fuerint inferna talibus impleta quae continue infestabant genus humanum; infernales non aliud cupiunt quam perdere unumquemque, nec plus voluptatis percipiunt quam dum cruciant: [2] distinguuntur in altera vita omnes spiritus ex eo qui malum cupiunt contra alios, sunt spiritus infernales seu diabolici; qui autem bonum aliis volunt, sunt spiritus boni et angelici; homo potest scire inter quos est, num inter infernales vel inter angelicos; si proximo intendit malum, de illo non nisi malum cogitat, et cum potest etiam actualiter facit, et in eo delectatur, is est inter infernale: et fit etiam infernalis in altera vita; at qui proximo intendit bonum, et de illo non nisi bonum cogitat, et cum potest actualiter facit, is es inter angelicos, et fit etiam angelus in altera vita; hoc characteristicon est, examinet quisque se secundum hoc qualis est: [3] nihil est quod non malum faciat cum non potest nec audet, et nihil est quod bonum faciat sui causa, haec sunt externa quae removentur in altera vita, homo est ibi sicut cogitat et intendit; sunt plures qui ex habitu in mundo bene loqui possunt, sed appercipitur ilico num mens seu intentio consentit; si non, rejicitur inter infernales sui generis et speciei.
