Arcana Coelestia # 6167
6167. 'Only the ground of the priests, theirs alone, did not belong to Pharaoh' means that every capacity to receive good came directly from the internal, as also previously, in 6148.
These matters which have now been stated regarding the joining of the natural to the internal, and so regarding the regeneration of the natural, effected through means that involve repeated phases of desolation and bestowal of life, will inevitably strike the member of the Church at the present day as things unheard of before. Even so, this is the truth of the matter and is something quite well known even by simple spirits in the next life. This being so, when a person reads the Word, those in the next life - being ones who understand the internal sense of the Word - not only have a perception of all those matters but in addition see countless arcana within them, arcana such as no human language can describe. In comparison with them the matters that have been introduced here are a mere few.
