Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 8574

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

8574. 'What shall I do for this people?' means what should be done for those who make such bitter complaint because they are not in receipt of truth? This is clear from the meaning of 'what shall I do for this people?' as words embodying such matters; for 'the wrangling of the people with Moses' means bitter complaining, 8563, 8566, and 'no water for them to drink' means a lack of truth, 8562, 8568.
