7050. These three verses, as is evident from each detail in them, contain arcana that no one can ever know about without the internal sense. How could anyone know what the meaning is when it says, after He had commanded Moses to go to Egypt, that Jehovah then immediately came to meet him and sought to kill him while he was on the way? How could anyone know what the meaning is when it says that having cut off her son's foreskin Zipporah caused it to touch his feet and told Moses that he was a bridegroom of blood to her, and then a little later said, A bridegroom of blood in regard to circumcisions? Who can fail to see that these details have arcana concealed within them and that those arcana cannot possibly be made known except from the internal sense?
