Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 6181

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

6181. 'Do not, I beg you, bury me in Egypt' means regeneration not among known facts. This is clear from the meaning of 'being buried' as resurrection and regeneration, dealt with in 2916, 2917, 4621, 5551; and from the meaning of 'Egypt' as factual knowledge, often dealt with already. For what is meant by regeneration not among known facts, see just below in 6187.
