Sen pitää oleman ijankaikkisen säädyn teidän sukukunnissanne, kaikissa tiedän asuinsioissanne: ettette yhtään lihavuutta eli mitään verta söisi.

2711. Verse 21 And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran; and his mother took for him a wife from the land of Egypt.
'He dwelt in the wilderness of Paran' means the life of the spiritual man as regards good, 'a wilderness' here, as previously, meaning that which is obscure in comparison [with the celestial], 'Paran' enlightenment coming from the Lord's Divine Human. 'And his mother took for him' means the affection for truth. 'A wife from the land of Egypt' means the affection for knowledge, which the member of the spiritual Church possesses.
