4092. 'Now rise up' means a raising up. This is clear from the meaning of 'rising up', when the expression is used, as that which implies a raising up, dealt with in 2401, 2785, 2912, 2927. And what a raising up implies, see 3171.

Arcana Coelestia #3171

3171. 'And they rose up in the morning' means a degree of raising up. This is clear from the meaning of 'rising up' as implying a raising up, dealt with in 2401, 2785, 2912, 2927, and from the meaning of 'the morning' as the Lord, also His kingdom, as well as the state of peace which this brings, dealt with in 2405, 2780. The natural is said to be raised up when spiritual things are made over to it as its own. All raising up originates in spiritual and celestial things, for it is by means of these that a person is raised up to heaven and so nearer to the Lord.
