Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 2696

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

2696. 'Rise up' means an uplifting of the mind. This is clear from the meaning in the Word of 'rising up', for when this expression is used there, it implies, as stated in 2401, some kind of uplifting. Here an uplifting of the mind is implied because enlightenment in truths, and in the next verse instruction in the same is meant.
