7719. 'And all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings' means that those belonging to the spiritual Church had enlightenment throughout their mind. This is clear from the representation of 'the children of Israel' as those belonging to the spiritual Church, dealt with in 6426, 6637, 6862, 6868, 7035, 7062, 7198, 7201, 7215, 7223; from the meaning of 'light' as enlightenment, for light flowing from the Lord enlightens the understanding since that light holds intelligence and wisdom within it, see 1521, 1524, 1619-1632, 2776, 3138, 3167, 3190, 3195, 3222, 3123, 3339, 3636, 3643, 3997, 4302, 4408, from the meaning of 'dwellings' as parts of the mind. For 'house' means the human mind, 3538, 4973, 5023, 7353, and 'rooms' its inner parts, 7353; but 'dwellings' means all the parts of the mind. Furthermore 'dwelling in' means in the internal sense living, 1293, 3384, 3613, 4451, 60511 and therefore 'dwellings' are parts in which the elements of life reside, namely aspects of intelligence and wisdom, which - as is well known - belong to the mind. Also, in the next life, the exact nature of the light shining in angels' dwellings or habitations is determined by the intelligence and wisdom present in the angels' minds. And in the same measure that they have light, those who are their opposites, that is, those who engage in molestation, have thick darkness.

So when they had eaten their breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me more than these?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you." He said to him, "Feed my lambs."
16
He said to him again a second time, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you." He said to him, "Tend my sheep."

He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you have affection for me?" Peter was grieved because he asked him the third time, "Do you have affection for me?" He said to him, "Lord, you know everything. You know that I have affection for you." Jesus said to him, "Feed my sheep.
