5131. Then I spoke with the mountain dwellers about beards, saying that from them they could know people, what their nature on the sensual level is, and that one of them from the heavenly Kingdom had spoken with Moses, from which the Jews had gotten idea that Jehovah has a white beard. It was also said that the Word in its letter can be compared to those things in man that are seen outwardly, and in some places to a beard and in certain to hair, to certain parts of the face and limbs, where it is bare; and that the angels can perceive, when granted by the Lord, what the things there correspond to. For the Word in its whole complex is like one Human being as to all and each part, inwardly and outwardly, and that this Man is like the Lord's Human was in the world, on which account the Lord is called the Word, John 1.
