Studimi

       

29 And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of the testimony in Moses' hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses knew not that the skin of his face shone by reason of his speaking with him.

10627. 'Let [my] Lord, I beg You, go in our midst' means in order that what is Divine may be inwardly present in it. This is clear from the meaning of 'going' as living, dealt with in 3335, 4882, 5493, 5605, 8417, 8420, and, when it refers to the Lord's doing so, as His imparting life and being present; and from the meaning of 'in the midst' as inwardly present in it, dealt with in 1074, 5897, 6068, 6084, 6103, 9164. The reason why 'let Jehovah go in our midst' means in order that what is Divine may be inwardly present in the outward form is that Moses represents the outward form taken by the Word, the Church, and worship, which is receptive of what is inward. That outward form must have what is inward, namely that which is Divine, within it; and the outward form has what is Divine within it when in every single part it contains the internal sense, which is for the angels of every heaven. For this to be so the outward or literal sense must consist of pure correspondences; and it consists of these when every word and every group of words serve in the internal sense to mean spiritual and celestial realities. These are the Divine things inwardly present in the outward form.

13 So Gad came to David, and told him, and said unto him, Shall seven years of famine come unto thee in thy land? or wilt thou flee three months before thy foes while they pursue thee? or shall there be three days' pestilence in thy land? now advise thee, and consider what answer I shall return to him that sent me.
