3 Maar Jona maakte zich op om te vluchten naar Tarsis, van het aangezicht des HEEREN; en hij kwam af te Jafo, en vond een schip, gaande naar Tarsis, en hij gaf de vracht daarvan, en ging neder in hetzelve, om met henlieden te gaan naar Tarsis, van het aan gezicht des HEEREN.

In Genesis 24:13, this signifies a state of conjunction of divine truth with the human.

'To stand upon the feet' signifies the new life of a regenerated person of the church.

'Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord,' as in Exodus 14:13, signifies having faith.

'To stand round about,' as in Revelation 7, signifies conjunction.

'Standing before God,' as in Revelation 20:12, signifies being present and assembled to judgment.

'To stand before God' signifies hearing and doing what He commands, like subjects standing before their king.

'To stand at the right hand,' as in Zechariah 3:1, signifies fighting against divine truth.
