And there came certain of the elders of Israel unto me, and sat before me.
Arcana Coelestia # 7504
7504. 'On the herd, and on the flock' means aspects of the will. This is clear from the meaning of 'the herd' as the good of the exterior natural, and from the meaning of 'the flock' as the good of the interior natural, both of which are dealt with in 5913. And since good is meant by them the will part is meant; for all good is connected with the will, and all truth with the understanding.
Psalms 91:5-6
5
You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day;
6
nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that wastes at noonday.
