35
I, Yahweh, have spoken, surely this will I do to all this evil congregation, who are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die."
Numbers 14:35
Arcana Coelestia # 9436
9436. 'And went up into the mountain' means being raised up to heaven. This is clear from the meaning of 'going up' as being raised in the direction of more internal levels, dealt with in 3084, 4539, 4969, 5406, 5817, 6007; and from the meaning of 'Mount Sinai' as heaven, where Divine Truth resides in light, dealt with above in 9420, 9427.
