Arcana Coelestia # 8366
8366. Verse 27 And they came to Elim, and here there were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees; and they encamped there beside the waters.
'And they came to Elim' means a state of enlightenment and affection, and so a state of comfort after temptation. 'And here there were twelve springs of water' means that in that state they had truths in full abundance. 'And seventy palm trees' means forms of the good of truth in like measure. 'And they encamped there beside the waters' means that after temptation the truths of faith were arranged into order by the good of love.
Exodus 15:26
26
and he said, "If you will diligently listen to the voice of Yahweh your God, and will do that which is right in his eyes, and will pay attention to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you, which I have put on the Egyptians; for I am Yahweh who heals you."
