10667. 'Six days you shall work' means the first state of regeneration, when a person is in possession of truths and at that stage is engaged in conflicts. This is clear from the meaning of 'six days', which are called the days of labour or work, as the first state of regeneration, when a person is in possession of truths and at that stage is engaged in conflicts against evils and falsities, dealt with in 8510, 8888, 9431, 10360.

'Nations,' as in Jeremiah 25:31, signify falsities. In Genesis 25:23, 'two nations in the womb' signify the natural regarding interior and exterior good. In general, 'nations' signify people in the good of love and charity from the Lord.
