Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 10706

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

10706. 'And Moses drew the veil back over his face' means that therefore inward things were closed off from them. This is clear from the meaning of 'drawing back the veil over the face' - when it refers to Moses, who represents the Word - as closing off the inward things of the Word, dealt with above in 10701. What this implies is clear from what has been stated immediately above, at the end of 10705.
