Comment:
Chickens are the children of hens. Sheep are the children of ewes. Hens and ewes
are therefore similar. Jesus-Holy Ghost compared himself-Himself in a
parallelism of similarity (in paragraph 109-b) to a hen
who had lost her chickens. Jesus-Holy Ghost compared himself-Himself in a
parallelism of similarity (in paragraph 037-e) to a man
who had lost a sheep. Jesus-Holy Ghost thereby showed himself-Himself similar to
a sheep who had lost a sheep. Rachel was said (in paragraph
109-a) to be crying for her lost children. Rachel means an ewe or a sheep.
Rachel is therefore similar to Jesus-Holy Ghost. The lamenting, weeping voice
which was said (in paragraph 109-a) to have been
heard in Ramah, which is in Galilee, is therefore Jesus, who was from Nazareth,
which is in Galilee.
