Vers 8. Außerdem soll das Gut, von dem jemand sich ganz dem Herrn hingibt, von dem Anbeter nur äußerlich angeeignet werden, oder nur so, als ob es von ihm selbst wäre.

5123. In yet three days. That this signifies that there would then be a new state, is evident from the signification of “three,” as being what is continuous even to the end, thus what is complete (n. 2788, 4495); and from the signification of “days,” as being states (of which above, n. 5122). From this it is plain that by “three days” is signified a complete state; consequently, “in three days,” or “after three days,” denotes a new state (n. 4091); for after a complete state a new one begins.
