Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 6246

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

6246. 'And I buried her on the road to Ephrath' means the casting away of that state. This is clear from the meaning of 'burying' as casting away, dealt with in 4564; and from the meaning of 'Ephrath' as the spiritual of the celestial in a former state, 6245.
