10499. 'And now I shall go up to Jehovah' means the raising of more internal things to the Lord. This is clear from the representation of 'Moses' as the internal, dealt with above in 10468; and from the meaning of 'going up' as a raising towards more internal levels, dealt with in 3084, 4539, 4969, 5406, 5817, 6007, at this point a raising to the Lord since it says 'I shall go up to Jehovah' and 'Jehovah' is used in the Word to mean the Lord, see in the places referred to in 9373. The situation in all this may be recognized from what has been shown regarding the raising up to heaven or to the Lord of the internal things of the Word, the Church, and worship, that is, regarding the raising of them from the external things among the Israelite nation, in 4311, 4444, 6304, 8588, 8788, 8806.
