There are really two meanings for "build" in the Bible. When something is being built for the first time, or built in the most typical sense, it means collecting relatively external ideas to build up a doctrinal system. In other cases, though, "build" is used in reference to something that has been destroyed. In such cases, "build" refers to removing our desires for evil so we can began a new stage of spiritual growth. In these cases "build" is often used together with "raise up," which means removing false ways of thinking in the same process.

9371. THE INTERNAL SENSE

Verses 1-2 And He said to Moses, Come up to Jehovah, you and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and you are to bow down from afar. And Moses alone shall come near Jehovah; and they shall not come near, and the people shall not come up with him.

'And He said to Moses' means something concerning the Word in general. 'Come up to Jehovah' means being joined to the Lord. 'You and Aaron' means the Word in its inward and outward senses. 'Nadab and Abihu' means teachings derived from both senses. 'And seventy of the elders of Israel' means the Church's leading truths which belong to the Word or religious teachings and are in tune with good. 'And you are to bow down from afar' means humility and adoration coming from the heart, and at the same time the inflow of the Lord. 'And Moses alone shall come near Jehovah' means the Lord's togetherness with and presence among people achieved through the Word in general. 'And they shall not come near' means no separate joining together or presence. 'And the people shall not come up with him' means no joining whatever to the outward without the inward.
