Verse 15. And the Lord will take away from the soul all sickness, and will permit none of those spiritual diseases which come upon the mind which sets its affections upon merely external and natural things and which you have experienced in the unregenerate state, to fall upon you; but they will come upon those who oppose themselves to spiritual truth.

5327. 'And without you shall no man lift up his hand' means that all power in the spiritual was received from the celestial of the spiritual. This is clear from the meaning of 'hand' as power, dealt with in 878, 3387, 4931-4937, 5296. Consequently 'no man lifting up his hand without you' means that they had no power at all except from this, thus that all power rested with this, that is to say, with the celestial of the spiritual. As regards power in the spiritual being meant by 'hand', this will be seen in the next paragraph.
