Genesis 25:8

Study

       

8 Then Abraham expired, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years; and was gathered to his people.

Arcana Coelestia #3335

Studere hoc loco

3335. 'And went' means life. This is clear from the meaning of 'going' as advances into things that are matters of good, that is, of life, for all good is the good of life. The meaning is almost the same as travelling, sojourning, and advancing, dealt with in 1293, 1457.
