14
At nang makita ng biyanan ni Moises ang lahat ng kaniyang ginagawa sa bayan, ay nagsabi, Anong bagay itong ginagawa mo sa bayan? bakit nauupo kang magisa, at ang buong bayan ay nakatayo sa palibot mo mula sa umaga hanggang sa hapon?
Exodo 18:14
Arcana Coelestia # 8710
8710. Men of strenuousness, fearing God. That this signifies with which good from the Divine could be conjoined, is evident from the signification of “men of strenuousness,” as being those who have strength from the truths which are from good; for by “man” is signified truth (n. 3134, 5502), and by “strenuousness,” the consequent strength. Moreover in the original tongue “strength” is signified by the same expression that is here rendered “strenuousness.” That it denotes strength from the truths that are from good, is because the men are said also to be “God fearing,” and by “God fearing” are signified those who are in good from the Divine; for “the fear of God” denotes worship from the good of faith and from the good of love (n. 2826, 5459).
