4123. A way of seven days. That this signifies the holy of truth, is evident from the signification of a “way,” as being truth (n. 627, 2333); and from the signification of “seven,” as being what is holy (n. 395, 433, 716, 881). Here the signification is that there was the ardor of conjunction, that is, of conjoining itself with the holy of truth.
