7120. 'Let the service be made heavy on the men' means that the assault should be enlarged. This is clear from the meaning of 'being made heavy' as being enlarged; from the meaning of 'the service', when the expression is used by those who molest by means of falsities, as the aim to bring under their control, dealt with in 6666, 6670, 6671, and so assault since it is through assaults that they aim to gain control; and from the meaning of 'the men' as those who belong to the spiritual Church. There are two words in the original language meaning a person; one is adam and the other is enosh. A person called adam means a member of the celestial Church, while a person called enosh means a member of the spiritual Church. Here the word used for 'the men' is enosh because the subject is those who belong to the spiritual Church.
