3176. Days, at least ten, afterwards thou shalt go. That this signifies the state for departure appearing to them full, is evident from the signification of “day,” as being state (see n. 23, 487, 488, 493, 893, 2788); and from the signification of “ten,” as being what is full (see n. 1988, 3107); here, appearing full to the natural; and from the signification of “going,” as being to depart. From this it is evident that “days, at least ten, afterwards thou shalt go,” signifies the state for departure appearing to them full; wherefore it now follows, “he said to them, do not delay me,” by which is signified the “will” of the affection of good.
