I had made him fair by the multitude of his branches; and all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied him.
Ezekiel 31:9
Midst
The "midst" of something in the Bible represents the thing that is most central and most important to the spiritual state being described, the motivation that drives everything else. In general this will be something we love or feel, because at the core of things we are what we love; our loves define us.

Arcana Coelestia # 2711
2711. Verse 21 And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran; and his mother took for him a wife from the land of Egypt.
'He dwelt in the wilderness of Paran' means the life of the spiritual man as regards good, 'a wilderness' here, as previously, meaning that which is obscure in comparison [with the celestial], 'Paran' enlightenment coming from the Lord's Divine Human. 'And his mother took for him' means the affection for truth. 'A wife from the land of Egypt' means the affection for knowledge, which the member of the spiritual Church possesses.
