Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 6424

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

6424. 'And the arms of his hands are made strong' means the power that the forces involved in fighting possess. This is clear from the meaning of 'arms' and 'hands' as powers, dealt with in 878, 3091, 3387, 4931-4937, 5327, 5328, 5544. It is plain that the power of the forces involved in fighting is meant since conflict is the subject.
