8 Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord GOD, and thou becamest mine.

10366. 'Work shall be done for six days' means the state which comes before and is preparatory to the heavenly marriage. This is clear from the meaning of 'the six days which come before the sabbath' as the state which comes before and is preparatory to the heavenly marriage, dealt with in 8510, 8888, 9431, the heavenly marriage being the joining together of goodness and truth in a member of the Church and in an angel of heaven, and in the highest sense the union of the Divine itself within the Lord's Human, see 10356. And 'the work of six days' means the state which comes before, 10360.
