Behind

  

To be behind, (Genesis 18:10), signifies not to be joined together, but at his back. What is separated from any one, this is represented in another life, by a kind of rejection, as it were, to the back. (Arcana Coelestia 2196)

In Genesis 19:17, this signifies being away from doctrinal things. (Arcana Coelestia 2417)

In Genesis 16:13, Here, behind, or after, signifies within or above, or an interior or superior principle.

In Revelation 1:10, 'behind' signifies that people who do not approach the Lord only (Apocalypse Revealed 42)

3105. 'And two bracelets' means Divine Truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'bracelets' as truth, and here as Divine Truth since the subject in the internal sense is the Lord. The word 'two' is used because what is complete is then meant. The reason those bracelets were, placed over a bride's hands was that 'the bride' meant the Church and 'her hands' the powers derived from truth - 'the hands' having reference to truth, see 3091. That 'bracelets' means such things may be seen in Ezekiel 16:11-12, dealt with above in 3103, and again in the same prophet, in 23:42. Furthermore 'bracelets' were intended not only for a bride but also for a king, though a king wore them on his arm, as is clear in 2 Samuel 1:10, the reason being that kingship represented and also meant Divine Truth, which was the Lord's, 1672, 1728, 2015, 2069, 3009, and 'arm' meant power, 878.
