Exodus 13:16

Study

       

16 and it hath been for a token on thy hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes, for by strength of hand hath Jehovah brought us out of Egypt.'

from the Writings of Emanuel Swedenborg

 

Arcana Coelestia #8109

Studere hoc loco

8109. 'So as to go by day and by night' means life in both states. This is clear from the meaning of 'going' and 'travelling' as life, dealt with in 3335, 3690, 4882, 5493, 5605; and from the meaning of 'day' as a state of enlightenment and 'night' as a state of dimness, dealt with immediately above in 8106, 8108, thus both states.
