Arcana Coelestia #121
121. The nature of celestial order, or how the things of life proceed, is evident from these rivers, namely, from the Lord, who is the “East” and that from Him proceeds wisdom, through wisdom intelligence, through intelligence reason, and so by means of reason the knowledges of the memory are vivified. This is the order of life, and such are celestial men; and therefore, since the elders of Israel represented celestial men, they were called “wise, intelligent, and knowing” (Deuteronomy 1:13, 15). Hence it is said of Bezaleel, who constructed the ark, that he was: Filled with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge [scientia], and in all work (Exodus 31:3; 35:31; 36:1-2).
