Arcana Coelestia # 8804
8804. Verses 14-15 And Moses went down from the mountain to the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their garments. And he said to the people, Be ready by the third day; do not go near a woman.
'And Moses went down from the mountain to the people' means application and preparation by the truth from God, in order that truths may be received within good. 'And sanctified the people' means covering over their interiors in order that those people may appear in the holiness of faith. 'And they washed their garments' means purification of the truths of faith. 'And he said to the people, Be ready by the third day' means complete preparation. 'Do not go near a woman' means purification of the good of faith.
Matthew 10:28-31
28
Don't be afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. Rather, fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.
29
"Aren't two sparrows sold for an assarion coin? Not one of them falls on the ground apart from your Father's will,
30
but the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
31
Therefore don't be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.
