1553. Verse 3. And he went according to his journeys, from the south and even to Bethel, unto the place where his tent was at the first, between Bethel and Ai. “He went according to his journeys,” signifies according to order; “from the south and even to Bethel,” signifies from the light of intelligence into the light of wisdom; “unto the place where his tent was before,” signifies to the holy things which there were before He was imbued with knowledges; “between Bethel and Ai,” signifies here, as before, the celestial things of knowledges, and worldly things.
