6
Meine Seele komme nicht in ihren geheimen Rat, meine Ehre vereinige sich nicht mit ihrer Versammlung! Denn in ihrem Zorn haben sie den Mann erschlagen und in ihrem Mutwillen den Stier gelähmt.
1 Mose 49:6

This is clear from the meaning of 'excelling in eminence' as glory, for a person who is eminent possesses glory; and from the meaning of 'excelling in worth' as powerfulness, since one who has worth is endued with powerfulness. Here glory has reference to the truth of faith, 5922, powerfulness to the good of charity, which is why the phrase 'the resulting glory and powerfulness' is used - resulting from the truth of faith and the good of charity, both spoken of immediately above.
