നാം പുറപ്പെട്ടു ബേഥേലിലേക്കു പോക; എന്റെ കഷ്ടകാലത്തു എന്റെ പ്രാര്ത്ഥന കേള്ക്കയും ഞാന് പോയ വഴിയില് എന്നോടു കൂടെയിരിക്കയും ചെയ്ത ദൈവത്തിന്നു ഞാന് അവിടെ ഒരു യാഗപീഠം ഉണ്ടാക്കും എന്നു പറഞ്ഞു.

അവരുടെ ദേശം യസേരും ഗിലെയാദിലെ എല്ലാപട്ടണങ്ങളും രബ്ബയുടെ നേരെയുള്ള അരോവേര്വരെ അമ്മോന്യരുടെ പാതിദേശവും;
Heaven and Hell # 34
34. All perfection increases as we move inward and decreases as we move outward, because more inward things are closer to the Lord and intrinsically purer, while more outward things are more remote from the Lord and intrinsically cruder. 1 Angelic perfection consists of intelligence, wisdom, love, and everything good, with happiness as their result. It does not consist in happiness without these former qualities, since happiness without them is merely superficial, with no depth.
Since the inner reaches of angels of the central heaven are opened at the third level, their perfection far surpasses that of angels in the intermediate heaven, whose inner reaches are opened at the second level. By the same token, the perfection of angels of the intermediate heaven surpasses that of angels of the outmost heaven.
Poznámky pod čarou:
1. [Swedenborg's footnote] More inward things are more perfect because they are closer to the Lord: 3405, 5146-5147. There are thousands and thousands of things within that outwardly appear to be only a single generality: 5707. To the extent that we are raised from outer concerns toward more inward ones, we come into light and therefore into intelligence, and this ascent is like coming from the fog into clear Apocalypse Revealed 4598, 6183, 6333 [6313?].
