그들이 가로되 `우리가 그리하지 못하겠노라 떼가 다 모이고 목자들이 우물 아구에서 돌을 옮겨야 우리가 양에게 물을 먹이느리라'
Arcana Coelestia #3837
3837. 'So it was in the morning' means enlightenment in that state. This is clear from the meaning of 'the morning' as enlightenment, dealt with in 3458, 3723. And since every period of time means a state, 2625, 2788, 2837, 3356, the earliest period of the day or the morning accordingly means the enlightenment belonging to that state, that is, in that state. The enlightenment has regard to that which follows shortly, that is to say, his acknowledgement that it was a joining merely to external truth.
