And taking the book of the covenant, he read it in the hearing of the people: and they said: All things that the Lord hath spoken we will do, we will be obedient.
Exodus 24:7
Arcana Coelestia # 9436
9436. 'And went up into the mountain' means being raised up to heaven. This is clear from the meaning of 'going up' as being raised in the direction of more internal levels, dealt with in 3084, 4539, 4969, 5406, 5817, 6007; and from the meaning of 'Mount Sinai' as heaven, where Divine Truth resides in light, dealt with above in 9420, 9427.
