8109. To go by day and by night. That this signifies life in both states, is evident from the signification of “going” and “journeying,” as being to live (see n. 3335, 3690, 4882, 5493, 5605); and from the signification of “day,” as being a state of enlightenment; and of “night,” as being a state of obscurity (of which just above, n. 8106, 8108); thus both states.

3335. And went away. That this signifies life, is evident from the signification of “going,” as being to advance into the things of good, that is, into those of the life, for all good is of life; nearly as is signified by “departing,” “sojourning,” and “advancing” (n. 1293, 1457).
