8978. 'He shall go out in his body' means a state of truth without delight, also after conflict. This is clear from the meaning of 'body' as truth without delight, dealt with immediately above in 8977; and from the meaning of 'going out' as after he has served for six years, that is, a state after conflict since the servitude lasting six years means a state of labour and conflict, 8975. The implications of all this are evident from what has been stated immediately above in 8977.
