1039. Full of names of blasphemy, signifies which are adulterated and falsified. This is evident from the signification of "name," as being what a thing is or what a state is (See n. 102, 148, 676, 695, 841); therefore "full of names" signifies what the holy things of the Word were to it; also from the signification of "blasphemy," in reference to the Word, as being its adulteration and falsification (See n. 778).

17. These approximate or general explanations of the preceding words, not being presented in a continuous series, will appear disconnected; and this must be the case when each word or phrase is expounded separately, and the internal sense is immediately joined to the literal sense, which is diverse from it, and each is viewed by itself. But nevertheless, with angels, who are in the internal sense, this is not so. They do not see the sense of the letter, nor do they know anything about it; they see only the internal sense; and because they see this in the light of heaven, they see it in such a series and connection, and also in such abundance and thence in such wisdom, as cannot be expressed and described in human words. The ideas of angels, which are spiritual, also conjoin all things in a wonderful manner, and comprehend more than man can include or express in his ideas, which are natural, even as to a thousandth part thereof.
