Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 7658

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

7658. 'Go, serve Jehovah your God' means that they will be left alone in order that they may worship the Lord. This is clear from the meaning of 'serving Jehovah' as worshipping the Lord, as in 7500, 7540, 7641, 7654. The fact that 'go' or 'go away', when said by Pharaoh to Moses regarding the children of Israel, means that they are to be left alone, is self-evident.
