και σηκωθεντες, ας αναβωμεν εις Βαιθηλ· και εκει θελω καμει θυσιαστηριον εις τον Θεον, οστις μου επηκουσεν εν τη ημερα της θλιψεως μου και ητο μετ' εμου εν τη οδω, καθ' ην επορευομην.
Γένεση 35:3
Arcana Coelestia # 4550
4550. 'And they gave to Jacob all the gods of the foreigner which were in their hand' means that [natural good] did, as far as possible, cast aside all falsities. This is clear from the meaning of 'the gods of the foreigner' as falsities, dealt with in 4544, and from the meaning of 'which were in their hand' as, as far as possible. For 'the hand' means power, 878, 3387, and therefore 'that which is in one's hand' means within one's power, or as far as possible. 'They gave them to Jacob' means that good cast aside those falsities, for in this chapter 'Jacob' represents the good of the natural, 4538.

Μηδε γινεσθε ειδωλολατραι, καθως τινες εξ αυτων, ως ειναι γεγραμμενον· Εκαθησεν ο λαος δια να φαγη και να πιη, και εσηκωθησαν να παιζωσι.
