Commentary on this verse  

By Alexander Payne

Verse 11. And thus it came to pass after a full state of initiation and temptation, both as to the affections and thoughts, that the Lord delivered to the interior perceptions of the soul a knowledge of the internal sense of the Word in the external relating to regeneration, and intended to unite the soul with heaven (Arcana Coelestia 10451-10453).
