6836. 'I will turn aside therefore, and see this great sight' means reflection on this revelation. This is clear from the meaning of 'turning aside and seeing' as reflecting, for in the spiritual sense 'turning aside' is turning away from the thought at present in one's mind, while 'seeing' is perceiving, so that the two together is reflecting; and from the meaning of 'sight' as a revelation, dealt with in 6000. 1 The expression 'great sight' is used because in the highest sense 'the flame in the bramble bush' means Divine Truth united to Divine Good within the Lord's Human, 6834.

1. The Latin word rendered sight here in Exodus 3:3 is the same as that translated vision in 6000.
