Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 1466

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

1466. 'And it happened, when he drew near to come into Egypt' means when He started to learn. This is clear from the meaning of 'Egypt' as knowledge comprised of cognitions. When the expression 'draw near' is used with reference to this it cannot have any other meaning.
