4596. This is the pillar of Rachel’s grave even to this day. That this signifies the state of the holy forever, is evident from the signification of a “pillar,” as being the holy of truth; and from the signification of a “grave,” as being resurrection (of which just above); and from the signification of “even to this day,” as being forever (see n. 2838, 3998).
