1604. Lift up, I pray, thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art. That this signifies the state in which the Lord then was, is evident from the signification of “lifting up the eyes and looking,” which is to be illuminated and to perceive (as shown above, at verse 10); and from the signification of “place” in the internal sense, as being state. (That “place” is nothing else than state, was shown above, n. 1274, 1376-1379)
