2922. 'In the choicest of our graves' means well-pleasing in regard to regeneration. This is clear from the meaning of 'choosing', 'a choice', and 'choicest' as that which is preferred or well-pleasing, and from the meaning of 'a grave' as resurrection and regeneration, dealt with above in 2916.

6903. 'Jehovah, the God of the Hebrews, has come to meet us' means the Lord's Divine in the Church, and what was commanded by Him. This is clear from the meaning of 'the Hebrews' as the Church, dealt with in 5136, 6675, 6684 (the reason why' Jehovah God' is the Lord's Divine is that in the Word none other than the Lord is meant by 'Jehovah', 1776, 2921, 3023, 3035, 5041, 5667, 6303); and from the meaning here of 'coming to meet' as what was commanded, since 'coming to meet' is used here to mean that He spoke to them and gave them orders. The fact that this is what is implied by 'has come to meet' is clear from the consideration that it no longer states the actual words spoken by Him but goes on immediately to express what had been commanded by Him.
