3458. And they rose early in the morning. That this signifies a state of enlightenment, is evident from the signification of “morning,” and of “rising early,” as being a state of enlightenment; for in the supreme sense the “morning and daydawn” are the Lord, and in the internal sense the celestial of His love, thus also a state of peace (n. 2333, 2405, 2540, 2780); and in the internal sense “to rise” signifies elevation (n. 2401, 2785, 2912, 2927, 3171); from all which it is evident that their “rising early in the morning” signifies a state of enlightenment.

3171. And they rose up in the morning. That this signifies a degree of elevation, appears from the signification of “rising up,” as involving elevation (see n. 2401, 2785, 2912, 2927); and from the signification of “morning,” as being the Lord, also His kingdom, and likewise a state of peace thence derived (see n. 2405, 2780). The natural is said to be “elevated” when spiritual things are appropriated to it; for all elevation is from things spiritual and celestial, as by these man is elevated toward heaven, thus nearer to the Lord.
