10484. 'And said, Whoever is for Jehovah, [come] to me' means those whose concern for external things springs from what is internal. This is clear from the representation of 'Moses' as the internal, dealt with in 10468; and since a person's internal resides in heaven and his external in the world, and heaven comes into a person's external by way of the internal, it is evident that by 'those who are for Jehovah' those people whose concern for external things springs from what is internal should be understood. When it is said that heaven comes in, the Lord's doing so should be understood, because that which is Divine and the Lord's constitutes heaven. It is also evident that these people are meant from the consideration that they are opposed to those whose interest lies in external things separated from what is internal. It is further evident from the consideration that the sons of Levi who gathered themselves to Moses represent those who are in possession of truths springing from good; and with those in possession of truths springing from good the concern for external things springs from what is internal.
