10482. Verses 26-29. And Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who is for Jehovah? Come unto me. And all the sons of Leviticus were gathered together unto him. And he said to them, Thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel, Put ye every man his sword upon his thigh, and pass ye through and return from gate to gate in the camp, and slay ye, a man his brother, and a man his companion, and a man his neighbor. And the sons of Leviticus did according to the word of Moses; and there fell of the people that day up to three thousand men. And Moses said, Fill ye your hand this day to Jehovah, for a man is against his son, and against his brother; that He may bestow upon you a blessing this day. “And Moses stood in the gate of the camp,” signifies where the opening to hell is; “and said, Who is for Jehovah? Come unto me” signifies those who are in external things from what is internal; “and all the sons of Leviticus were gathered together unto him,” signifies those who are in truths from good; “and he said unto them,” signifies exhortation; “Thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel,” signifies by the Lord; “Put ye every man his sword upon his thigh,” signifies truth from good fighting against falsity from evil; “and pass ye through and return from gate to gate in the camp,” signifies wheresoever there is anything open from what is internal into what is external; “and slay ye, a man his brother, and a man his companion, and a man his neighbor,” signifies a closing in respect to the influx of good and truth and of all that is related thereto, in order to prevent any reception and communication; “and the sons of Leviticus did according to the word of Moses,” signifies this accomplished by those who are in truths from good; “and there fell of the people that day up to three thousand men,” signifies a full and complete closing of what is internal; “and Moses said, Fill ye your hand this day to Jehovah,” signifies that which is communicative and receptive of Divine truth in the heavens; “for a man is against his son, and against his brother,” signifies when the internal has been closed in order to prevent truth and good from heaven from entering into what is external; “that He may bestow upon you a blessing this day,” signifies the reception of Divine truth from the Word, and thereby conjunction with the Lord.
