και την ραβδον ταυτην την στραφεισαν εις οφιν λημψη εν τη χειρι σου εν η ποιησεις εν αυτη τα σημεια
Exodus 4:17
Arcana Coelestia # 7062
7062. 'And gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel' means the chief characteristics of wisdom which the spiritual Church possessed. This is clear from the meaning of 'the elders' as the chief characteristics of wisdom, thus things that accord with good, dealt with in 6524; and from the representation of 'the children of Israel' as the spiritual Church, dealt with in 6426, 6637.
