8399. 'Which is between Elim and Sinai' means a continuation and the essential nature. This is clear from the meaning of 'Elim' and from the meaning of 'Sinai', from which one may see what this location between the two means. Because of the springs and palm trees that were there 'Elim' means truth and good that belong to comfort after temptation - see the final verse of the previous chapter. And because of the Law which was declared from it 'Sinai' means good and the truth that flows from it. Consequently the continuation and the essential nature meant by 'Sin' is good that results from truth. Good that results from truth is the good done by a spiritual person prior to regeneration; for at that time he does it as a result of truth, that is, because truth demands it, and therefore he does it in a spirit of obedience. But good from which truth flows is done by a spiritual person after regeneration, for now he does it as a result of his affection for it. The former kind of good is meant by 'Sin', the latter by 'Sinai'.
