Οι πρεσβυτεροι της Γεβαλ και οι σοφοι αυτης ησαν εν σοι οι επισκευασται των χαλασματων σου· παντα τα πλοια της θαλασσης και οι ναυται αυτων ησαν εν σοι, δια να εμπορευωνται το εμποριον σου.

4600. 'And it happened while Israel was residing in that land' means during this state, namely that of good arising out of truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'residing' as living, for residing is similar in meaning to 'dwelling', the difference being that 'residing' has reference to truth but 'dwelling' to good - 'dwelling' meaning being and living, and so state, see 3384; and from the meaning of 'land' as the Church as regards good, dealt with in 566, 662, 1066, 1067, 1262, 1413, 1607, 1733, 1850, 2117, 2118, 2571, 2928, 3355, 4447, 4535, in this case as regards the good of truth. A state involving this good which Israel had now arrived at is the state meant here.
