7927. 'And He will see the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts' means a discernment of the holy truth belonging to the good of innocence in the natural. This is clear from the meaning of 'seeing' as understanding and discerning, dealt with in 2150, 2325, 2807, 3764, 4403-4421, 4567, 4723, 5400; from the meaning of 'the blood' as holy truth belonging to the good of innocence, as above in 7919; and from the meaning of 'the lintel and the two doorposts' as the forms of good and the truths of the natural, also dealt with above, in 7847.
