10567. 'And He said, My face will go [with you], and I will cause you to rest' means that the Divine element composing the Church, worship, and the Word will be present, even though what is external with the actual nation will be devoid of that element. This is clear from the meaning of 'face' as the interiors, dealt with in the places referred to in 9546, and when used in reference to Jehovah, as things that are Divine, at this point the Divine components of the Church, worship, and the Word; from the meaning of 'going' as living, dealt with in 3335, 4882, 5493, 5605, 8417, 8420, 9440, but when used in reference to Jehovah as imparting life, being present, and leading, for this is what gives man his life; and from the meaning of 'causing Moses to rest' as the external aspect of the Church, worship, and the Word, in which the interior things that are Divine terminate. For 'Moses' represents that external aspect, as above in 10563, and 'resting' means coming to a rest or halt, so that he represents that in which the interior things that are Divine come to a rest or halt. Furthermore the actual word used in the original language denotes to come to a rest or halt. The interior components of the Church, worship, and the Word come to a halt on their external level, and they rest on it as their base, as a house does on its foundations, see 9216. The fact that these things are meant by 'causing Moses to rest' is clear from what follows in this chapter, from the internal sense in which the subject is the interior components of the Word, the Church, and worship, and the external in which they terminate, that external being what 'Moses' represents.
