3334. And rose up. That this signifies elevation thence, is evident from the signification of “rising up,” as involving elevation wherever mentioned (see n. 2401, 2785, 2912, 2927); and also from the fact that man is said to be “uplifted” when being perfected as to spiritual and celestial things; that is, as to the truth which is of faith, and the good which is of love and charity (n. 3171).
