Arcana Coelestia # 2961
2961. 'So bury your dead' means emergence from night and consequent rising up again. This is clear from the meaning of 'one who is dead' as night as regards the truths of faith, and of 'being buried' as rising up again, dealt with several times already, see 2917, 2923, 2925, 2931, 2948, 2955. The reason why these words occur so many times in this chapter is that the subject is the emergence from night as regards truths of faith, and the rising up again, that is, the reformation and regeneration of the spiritual Church.
Arcana Coelestia # 2948
2948. 'Bury your dead' means that they may emerge from night and be raised up again. This is clear from the meaning of 'burying' as rising again, or what amounts to the same, being raised up again, and from the meaning of 'one who is dead' as night as regards goods and truths of faith, dealt with above in 2917, 2923, 2925, 2931, where the same words occur.
