1 Ja tapahtui kuudentena vuonna, viidentenä päivänä kuudennetta kuuta, että minä istuin huoneessani, ja Juudan vanhimmat istuivat minun edessäni: siellä tuli Herran, Herran käsi minun päälleni.

10583. 'And cover My palm over you until I have passed through' means shutting off what is internal. This is clear from the meaning of 'covering the palm over Moses' as shutting off the internal things of the Church, worship, and the Word that are above the external. The reason why the internal things of them are meant is that 'covering the palm over' implies acting to prevent him from seeing Jehovah's glory and face, and 'Jehovah's glory' means the internal things of the Word, the Church, and worship, see 10574, as does 'Jehovah's face', 10567, 10568, 10578.
