6764. 'And behold, two Hebrew men were quarrelling' means a discernment that within the Church people were in conflict with one another. This is clear from the meaning of 'behold' or seeing, as a discernment, dealt with in 2150, 3764, 4567, 4723, 5400; from the meaning of Hebrew men' as people belonging to the Church, dealt with above in 6758 (end); and from the meaning of quarrelling' as being in conflict.
