2942. 'In the ears of the sons of Heth' means obedience. This is clear from the meaning of 'the ear' as obedience, dealt with in 2542.

Arcana Coelestia #101

Étudier ce passage

  
/ 10837  
  

101. The Lord is 'the east'. This too is clear from several places in the Word, as in Ezekiel,

He brought me to the gate, to the gate facing the way of the east. And behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east, and His voice was like the voice of many waters, and the earth shone with His glory. Ezekiel 43:1-2, 4.

The Lord's being 'the east' was the reason for the sacred practice in the Jewish representative Church, before the Temple was built, of facing eastwards when praying.
