Arcana Coelestia #3191
3191. 'And went after the man' means under the guidance of natural Divine Truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'going after' or following in the internal sense here, as under the leading or guidance of, and from the meaning of 'man' as truth, dealt with in 3134, here natural Divine Truth, as above in 3184.
Jesaja 51:1

Höret mir zu, die ihr der Gerechtigkeit nachjaget, die ihr den HERRN suchet: Schauet den Fels an, davon ihr gehauen seid, und des Brunnens Gruft, daraus ihr gegraben seid.
