5 And they journeyed; and the terror of God was upon the cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob.

Comentário

 

Fear not

  

Fear not, as in Genesis 20:8, signifies aversion. To fear signifies to disbelieve or not to have faith and love, as in Isaiah 43:1, 5; 44:8; Mark 5:36; Luke 1:73, 75; 4:40; 8:49; 12:7, 32.

Fear not, as in Revelation 1:17; Daniel 10:5, 12; Matthew 17:5, 7; 28:10, etc., signifies resuscitation to life, and at the same time adoration from the most profound humiliation.

4543. 'And Jacob said to his household, and to all who were with him' means the arrangement within the kind of natural good that existed at that point. This is clear from the meaning of 'saying to his household, and to all who were with him' as arrangement, and from the representation of 'Jacob' here as natural good, dealt with above in 4538. The reason 'saying to his household, and to all who were with him' means arrangement is that in what follows next the subject in the internal sense is the arrangement of truths by good; for when spiritual good, dealt with above in 4538, starts to play the leading role in the natural mind it arranges into order the truths that are there.
