3789. 'And they have rolled the stone from over the mouth of the well' means that in this way things of the Word are disclosed. This is clear from the meaning of 'rolling the stone' as disclosing, dealt with in 3769, 3771, 3773, and from the meaning of 'a well' as the Word, dealt with in 3424, 3765.
