Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 3369

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

3369. 'Sojourn in this land' means instruction. This is clear from the meaning of 'sojourning' as receiving instruction,a dealt with in 1463, 2025, and from the meaning here of 'land' as rational concepts which, when enlightened from the Divine, are appearances of truth, dealt with immediately above in 3368, so that 'sojourning in this land' means instruction in those things.

Notes

aThe Latin means instructing, but see 1463, 2025.
