Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 4098

4098. 'Are we not considered strangers by him, for he has sold us?' means that it had alienated them so that they did not belong to it any longer. This is clear from the meaning of 'being considered strangers' as being alienated, and from the meaning of 'selling' as so alienating them that they did not belong to it any longer.
