888. Verse 12 And he waited yet another seven days and sent out the dove, and it did not come back to him any more.

'He waited yet another seven days' means the beginning of the third state, 'seven days' meaning that which is holy. 'And he sent out the dove' means a state of receiving the goods and truths of faith. 'The dove did not come back to him any more' means a state of freedom.
