Romerne 9:4
4
de som er israelitter, de som barnekåret og herligheten og paktene og lovgivningen og gudstjenesten og løftene tilhører,
Arcana Coelestia # 7457
7457. 'We will go a way of three days into the wilderness' means that they would remove themselves altogether, so as to be in freedom. This is clear from the meaning of 'going a way of three days into the wilderness' as removing themselves altogether. That this is the meaning follows from what the internal sense above contains - that they could not worship God in a place nearby, in the presence of those from hell, dealt with above in 7452, 7454-7456. So they would have to remove themselves altogether, so as to be in freedom.
